One of the biggest environmental issues that our world has been facing is climate change. In order to cope with such environmental issues, the world is putting a great deal of effort into energy conservation. The building sector, in particular, consumes 36% of the energy consumed worldwide and emits considerable amount of greenhouse gases. Therefore, introduction of renewable energies in the building sector is highly recommended. Renewable energy sources that can be utilized in the building sector include sunlight, solar heat, geothermal heat, fuel cells and wind power. The wind power generation system which converts wind energy into electrical energy has advantages in that wind is an unlimited and pollution-free resource. It is suitable to be connected to existing buildings because many years of operational experience and the enhanced stability of the system have made it possible to downsize the electrical generator. In case of existing buildings, it is necessary to consider the live loads of the buildings to connect the wind power generation system. This paper, through the connection of the wind power generation with existing buildings, promotes reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy independence by reducing energy consumption in the building sector. In order to connect the wind power generation system with an exciting building, the live load of the building and the area of the rooftop should be considered. The installable model is selected by comparing the live load of the building and the load of the wind power generation system. The maximum number of the wind turbines that can be installed is obtained by considering the separation distance between the wind turbines within the area of the rooftop. Installations are divided into single installations and multiple installations of two different types of wind turbines. After determining the maximum installable number, the optimal model that can achieve the maximum annual power generation will be selected by comparing the respective total annual amount of the power generation of different models.

In this work, we analyzed correlations between life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and life-cycle cost of energy resources. Energy resources studied in this paper include coal, natural gas, nuclear power, hydropower, geothermal energy, wind power, solar thermal energy, and solar photovoltaic energy, and all of them are used to generate electricity. We calculated the mean values, ranges of maximum minus minimum values, and ranges of 90% confidence interval of life-cycle GHG emissions and life-cycle cost of each energy resource. Based on the values, we plotted them in two dimensional graphs to analyze a relationship and characteristics between GHG emissions and cost. Besides, to analyze the technical maturity, the GHG emissions and the range of minimum and maximum values were compared to each other. For the electric generation, energy resources are largely inverse proportional to the GHG emission and the corresponding cost.

This study investigated consumers' perceptions and willingness to pay (WTP) for fruit and vegetables grown using renewable energy such as solar power, geothermal, waste heat from incinerators, hot water from thermal power plants. To this end, this study conducted an online survey of 1,050 consumers in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and the six metropolitan cities, and the main findings are as follows. First, most of the consumers perceived climate change as a serious problem, and 82.8% recognized the government's declaration of carbon zero was appropriate, which means that the government's active response to climate change is important. Second, on the pros and cons of the use of renewable energy when cultivating fruits and vegetables, opinions in favor of solar power were the highest, followed by geothermal heat, waste heat from waste incineration plants, and thermal power generation hot drainage. Third, at least 28.0% to 41.7% of consumers were willing to purchase fruits and vegetables using renewable energy more expensive than fruits grown using fossil energy such as kerosene. This means that the fruit and vegetable market using renewable energy is valuable as a niche market.

In this study, RPS system, one of the renewable energy support systems, is utilized for economic analysis of solar generation equipment and the fuel cost savings plan for controlled horticulture farms with high fuel-cost dependency and facility applicability were evaluated. On the exterior of the upper layer of glass greenhouse (9917$m^2$) of controlled horticulture farms using bunker C oil, half of the area (4958$m^2$) was utilized for theoretical installation and operation of 450kW-level solar power generator, and as the result, first, the effect of investment cost only of solar generation system was found to be quite excellent, but it was analyzed that there were limits to saving the fuel costs of the controlled horticulture farms. Second, when geothermal system was first introduced in the farm and solar system was additionally introduced, it was analyzed that the effect of introducing solar system was excellent. In order to apply such effects to the sites of farming, partial supplementation of RPS system which is being uniformly applied regardless of the purpose of renewable energy is necessary. When the subject of use directly install facilities where it is directly connected to national added-value such as food security created by the farming industry, it is necessary to introduce appropriate system that corresponds to such. Moreover, it was studied that the quick development of demonstrative complex that can practically evaluate the applicability of renewable energy in farming industry and interest and preparation of related institutions in financial support structure for its site application would lead to success.

지구온난화와 화석연료 고갈에 대한 우려로 전세계적으로 신재생에너지의 개발 및 활용이 본격화되고 있다. 특히, 다양한 신재생에너지원 중에서 날씨 및 계절에 의한 영향, 기저부하 담당, 지상 점유 면적, 소음 등 생활환경 영향, 경제성 등을 고려할 때 지열에너지는 미래 청정에너지원로서 기대와 관심이 집중되고 있다. 화산이 존재하지 않는 우리나라에서의 지열발전은 거의 불가능한 것으로 인식되어 지금까지의 심부 지열에너지 개발 프로젝트는 대부분 지역난방, 시설영농 등 직접이용을 목표로 추진되어 왔다. 그러나, 2003년부터 한국지질자원연구원에서 수행한 포항 심부지열에너지 개발사업의 결과로 얻어진 다양한 지질학적/지열학적 증거들을 토대로 분석한 결과, 국내 일부 지역에서는 지하 5 km 심도에서 최대 약 $180^{\circ}C$의 지온이 예상되어 국내에서도 심부 지열에너지를 이용한 지열발전에 대한 가능성이 제기되어 왔다. 여기에, 유럽과 미국 그리고 호주 등 선진국을 중심으로 비화산 지역에서 지하 심부에 인공적으로 지열저류층(파쇄대)을 생성하고 이를 통해 열매체(물)를 순환시킴으로써 생산된 증기를 발전에 활용하는 EGS (Enhanced Geothermal System) 기술이 개발되고 몇몇 성공사례가 발표되었다. 또한, 이러한 기술개발에 힘입어 EGS 지열발전에 대한 선진국의 과감한 연구비 투자가 이어졌다. 이러한 기술적 배경에 발맞추어 우리나라에서도 2010년 12월에 EGS 지열발전 과제가 착수되었다. 이 프로젝트는 아시아에서는 최초로 수행되는 EGS 기술 개발과제로서 2015년까지 약 480억원의 R&D 예산을 투입하여 MW급의 지열발전 pilot plant의 구축을 목표로 하고 있다. 프로젝트가 성공적으로 추진될 경우 국내외적인 파급효과는 매우 클것이다. 특히 2015년까지 1.5 MW의 pilot plant의 구축이 성공적으로 추진될 경우 국내에서는 2017년까지 3 MW 이상, 2020년까지 20 MW이상, 2030년까지 200 MW 이상의 지열발전이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 축적된 기술개발 경험을 바탕으로 인도네시아, 필리핀 등의 해외의 지열발전 사업에도 진출할 수 있는 계기가 될 것이다. 프로젝트는 넥스지오를 주관기관으로 하고 한국지질자원연구원, 한국건설기술연구원 및 서울대학교 등의 지질자원 관련 연구 및 교육기관과 포스코, 이노지오테크놀로지 등의 산업체가 참여하여 컨소시엄 형태로 추진하고 있으며, 향후 관심있는 여러 기관 및 산업체의 지원과 참여를 기대한다.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the perception of renewable energy technology among elementary school teachers, and confirm whether elementary school teachers have basic knowledge about renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and tidal power generation. We conducted preliminary interviews to gather information related to other studies about renewable energy. We developed the last interview question about the perception and knowledge of elementary school teachers regarding renewable energy. This study analyzed the transcribed responses of 10 elementary school teachers in Siheung-city, Gyeonggi-do, following 30-minute interviews. The study's findings are as follows. First, elementary school teachers recognize that they are unfamiliar with concepts and they have only shallow content knowledge about renewable energy. And they tended to distorted to other concepts, and analyze to different meanings. Second, elementary school teachers thought that knowledge about renewable energy should be part of a well-rounded education. And they felt positively about solar energy and wind power energy generation but they had a negative view towards tidal power generation because it destroys tideland. Third, teachers tended to confuse solar heat energy and geothermal energy, they tend to think this two energy sources the same. Teachers had generally correct concepts about wind power energy generation. In the case of tidal power generation, elementary school teachers answered mechanically that it is possible on the western sea, and that 'the difference between the rise and fall of the tide' grows. But they could not talk in depth about 'the difference between the rise and fall of the tide' and the force of waves. This suggests that they are answering by simple memorization and without deep understanding.

인천시 강화군 석모도의 지열에너지 개발을 위하여 성부 파쇄대 해석을 위한 MT 탐사를 수행하였다. 또한, MT 탐사자료의 해석을 위해서, 지질조사와 심부시추공 물리검층을 함께 수행하였다. 석모도의 지질은 북쪽에는 백악기와 쥬라기에 관입된 화강암이, 남쪽에는 선캄브리아기의 편암류가 분포한다. 이 지역에서 지열징후는 편암류와 백악기의 화강암의 경계부에서 발견되었다. 심부파쇄대를 따른 영수의 순환에 의해 대상지역의 지온증가율은 $45^{\circ}C/km$ 이상으로 대한민국 평균보다 훨씬 높게 나타났다. MT 탐사자료의 2차원 빛 3차원 해석 결과, 전기전도도가 매우 높은 이상대가 동쪽으로 경사져서 지하 1.5 km 깊이까지 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 해수로 채워진 파쇄대로 해석되었다. 이 이상대를 목표로 시추한 결과 1280 m 심도에서 일일 4000 ton 이상, 온도 $70^{\circ}C$ 이상의 많은 양의 지열수를 개발하는데 성공하였다. 이 지열수의 화학적인 성분은 기존 시추공에서 발견된 지열수의 화학성분과 매우 유사하여 동일한 지열저류층, 즉, 동일한 지영저류층에서 생산되는 것으로 간주할 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 이러한 탐사결과를 기초로 2009년부터 한국지질자원연구원에서는 지열 열병합 발전을 위한 새로운 지열개발 프로젝트를 시작하였고 추가적인 MT 탐사와 탄성파 반사법 탐사, 이미 굴착되어 있는 20여개의 심부 시추공에 대하여 물리검층을 포함한 각종 시추공 조사 등이 수행 중이다.

After facing the fact such as fossil-fuel depletion, global warming, the Kyoto Protocol coming into force of mandatory reductions of carbon dioxide, the world is actively promoting the spread of the solar, wind, tidal, geothermal and other clean renewable energy technology development. Among them, wind power is the only alternative energy to secure a comparable price competition with fossil fuels because cheaper price power generation than other renewable energy when creating large-scale wind farm, thus wind power is the fastest growing industries in the world in the renewable energy field. Especially the offshore wind power is showing rapid growth as most of the wind power sector because of less changes of wind speed, no restrictions of land use, and large-scale development of offshore wind power. In this paper, the field of site selection and spatial location analysis techniques for development of large-scale offshore wind farm are discussed primarily. This paper shows overview of offshore wind power and establishment procedure for development of offshore wind farm.

A boiling heat transfer is used in various industry such as power generation systems, heat exchangers, air-conditioning and refrigerations. In the boiling heat transfer system, the critical heat flux (CHF) is the important factor, and it indicated safety of the system. It has kept up studies on the CHF enhancement. Recently, it is reported the CHF enhancement, when working fluid used the nanofluid with excellent thermal properties. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the influence of nano particles coated surface for heat transfer enhancement in pure water, oxidized multi-wall carbon nanotube nanofluid (OMWCNT), and oxidized graphene nanofluid (OGraphene). Nanoparticles were coated for 120 sec on the surface, and we measured the CHF at the flow velocities of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 m/sec, respectively. As the results, both of the OMWCNT and OGraphene nanofluids increased up to about 34.0 and 40.0%.
