This paper describes a design strategy at conceptual design stage using RETScreen software tool for building application of renewable energy resources. Currently, government and public buildings are required to adopt renewable energy systems with a minimum requirement for the amount of renewable energy supply. Meanwhile, there is a certificate program for private office buildings to enhance propagation of renewable energy systems. When considering application of renewable energy systems to a building, it is worthwhile developing a method to determine optimal design sizes of renewable energy systems. In the paper, a design strategy is introduced with a couple of case studies to determine optimal capacities of each renewable energy system in a building and suggest to use the method to evaluate the system for the building certificate program and the mandatory renewable target program. Objective functions considered in the study are initial system cost and reduction of CO2 emissions from the system. In the optimization study, it is assumed that solar thermal collectors are installed to satisfy solar fraction of 60%. Other renewable energy systems such as ground-source heat pump, solar PV and non-renewable systems such as electric chiller and gas-fired boiler are sized using an optimal sizing method with RETScreen suggested the authors previously.

GSHP(Ground Source Heat Pump) has been extensively disseminated due to the recent increasing demand over new and renewable energy. However, the system reliability has been key issues and barriers to insure a better system performance as designed originally in ISO (international standard organization) standard. This paper introduces a systematic method to verify its intended design target so called as ISO performance data based commissioning technology for a water to air GSHP system. The commissioning technology starts from are to the international standard ISO performance data of a GSHP model and to compare its installed operation data and to calibrate and tune to the target optimum operation parameters. Results indicated that cooling capacity could be raised up to 76.6% from 46.6% from this proposed commissioning technology.

The objective of this study is to find the optimal set-point of a hybrid Plant, which is combined by renewable energy plant of the GSHP(Ground Source Heat Pump) and the conventional plant(chiller, boiler). The work presented in this study was carried out by using the EnergyPlus(Version 2.0). In order to validate the simulation model, field data were measured from a building. The GSHP was used as a base plant and the conventional plant as the assistant plant. Various temperatures were controlled (zone summer set-point, zone winter set-point, chilled water temperature, hot water temperature) to find the optimal set-point temperature of the system. The influence of the various set-points were analyzed seasonally.

최근, 지열 냉난방 시스템의 초기 공사비를 절감하기 위해 연구되고 있는 에너지 파일의 열교환량을 산정하기 위해 2종류(부속연결형, 슬링키형)의 현장타설말뚝형(PRD, 시공심도 4.5m, 직경 1,200mm) 에너지 파일을 시험시공하고 수치 시뮬레이션에 의해 효율을 상호 비교하였다. 상호 비교결과에 의하면 지중 교환량은 운전시작과 함께 채열에 의한 지중온도의 저하에 의해 점점 감소하였고 부속연결형의 평균 열원수의 온도차는 난방운전에서 $0.37^{\circ}C$, 냉방운전에서 $0.34^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 또, 부속연결형의 난방운전시 열교환량 231.4W/m보다 냉방운전의 방열량은 252.2W/m로서 9% 높았고 슬링키형은 난방 기간 평균 열교환량이 168.0W/m로 부속연결형에 비해 약 27% 낮은 열교환량을 얻었다.

벤토나이트는 팽윤성이 좋고 투수계수가 낮아 수직 밀폐형 지중 열교환기 시공 시 보어홀(borehole)의 뒤채움재로 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 사용되는 3가지 벤토나이트를 선정하여 배합비에 따른 점도와 열전도도를 평가하였다. 시공 조건에 따라 다양한 벤토나이트 뒤채움재의 함수비를 고려하여 점도와 열전도도 특성을 규명하기 위해 벤토나이트를 배합비(벤토나이트 무게/(벤토나이트+물) 무게) 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%로 배합하고 시간에 따른 점도와 열전도도를 측정하였다. 그리고 벤토나이트 뒤채움재가 해안지역에서 시공될 경우 지하수의 염도에 의한 영향을 검토하기 위해 배합수의 NaCl 농도가 0.1M, 0.25M, 0.5M일 때 벤토나이트 뒤채움재의 침강 특성을 관찰하였다. 벤토나이트 뒤채움재의 낮은 점도로 인해 천연규사와 같은 첨가재가 지중 열교환기 바닥에 침전될 경우 발생할 수 있는 재료분리 현상을 저점도 벤토나이트 뒤채움재를 사용하여 실험을 통해 규명하였으며 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. (1) 벤토나이트 뒤채움재의 점도는 시간이 지남에 따라 또는 배합비가 증가함에 따라 상승하는 경향을 나타내며 벤토나이트 뒤채움재의 열전도도는 배합비가 증가하면 상승하지만 통일한 배합비에서는 시간에 따른 변화가 미미하다. (2) 벤토나이트 뒤채움재의 팽창지수가 높을수록 배합수의 NaCl 농도에 따른 침강율은 상대적으로 낮게 나타난다. (3) 저점도 벤토나이트 뒤채움재는 첨가재의 재료분리로 인해 보어홀 내의 깊이별 첨가재 분포를 비균질하게 하므로 보어홀 상부의 열전도도가 하부에 비해 작게 나타날 수 있는 가능성이 있다.

This study is to develop a model to predict the soil temperature variation in Korea Institute of Energy Research using its thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and diffusivity. Soil depth temperature variation is very important in the design of a proper Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system. This is because the size of the borehole depends on the soil temperature distribution, and this can decrease GSHP system cost. If the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity are known, the soil temperature can be predicted by either the Krarti equation or the Spitler equation. Then a comparison with the Krarti equation and Spitler equation data with the real measured data can be performed. Also, the thermal properties can be reasonably approximated by performing a fit of the Krarti and Spitler equations with measured temperature data. This was done and, as a result, the Krarti equation and Spitler equation predicted values very close to the measured data. Although there is about a $0.5^{\circ}C$ difference between the deep subsurface prediction (16m - 60m), with this equation, were expected to have model this Non-Homogeneous Soil Temperature phenomenon properly. So, it has been shown that a prediction of non-homogeneous soil temperature variation influenced by solar radiation can be achieved with a model.

내 수문지열계 가운데 수주지열정(SCW)시스템을 합리적으로 설치이용할 수 있는 조건들은 심도별 지온증가율이 명확하고($2^{\circ}C/100m$심도), 기존의 지하수 열펌프가 필요로 하는 순환수의 유량에 비해 최소 $10{\sim}30%$의 중온의 심부지하수가 산출될 수 있어야 하며, 순환수를 공내로 재주입시 공내붕괴가 일어나지 않는 견고한 암석들이 존재 하여야 한다. 수주지열정의 1개공당 굴착심도는 평균 $400{\sim}500m$이며, 이로 부터 개발가능한 지열에너지는 공당 약 $30{\sim}40RT$ 규모인데 비해 1개 수직지중열교환기가 공급가능한 지열에너지는 $2{\sim}3RT$ 정도이다. 즉 수주지열정 1개공은 $10{\sim}15$개의 수직지중열교환기 역할을 한다. 따라서 이 방식은 수직루프 설치장소의 공간 문제를 해소할 수 있는 유일한 대안으로 인식되어, 현재 전국 각지에서 많은 수의 SCW들이 무분별 하게 비과학적으로 설치되고 있다. 이와 같이 해당지역 수문지열계의 수리 지질학적인 특성과 열적인 특성을 명확히 파악하지 않은 상태에서 수주지열정을 설계 시공하는 경우에 나타날 문제점들은 추후 합리적인 천부지열 개발 이용에 지대한 장애요인이 될 것이다. 따라서 본고는 국내 수문지열계에 적합한 수주지열정을 설계 하는데 있어 필요한 일종의 지침서를 제시하기 위해 작성되었다.
