Optimizing energy usage for maximum efficiency is an essential goal for manufacturing plants in every industrial manufacturing sector. The generation and distribution of purifying compressed air is a large expense incurred in practically all manufacturing processes. Not only is the generation and treatment expensive equipment of compressed air, but frequent maintenance and effective operation is also required. As a plant's compressed air system is often an integral part of the production process, it needs to be reliable, efficient, and easy to be maintain. In this paper, we study to find operating method to save energy from the adsorption dryer in the process of purifying compressed air, which is required for a clean room production site in "A" company. The compressed air passes through a pressure vessel with two "towers" filled with a material such as activated alumina, silica gel, molecular sieve or other desiccant material. This desiccant material attracts the water from the compressed air via adsorption. As the water clings to the desiccant, the desiccant particle becomes saturated. Therefore, Adsorption dryer is an extremely significant facility which removes the moisture in the air $70^{\circ}C$ below the dew point temperature while using a lot of energy. Also, the energy consumption of the adsorption dryer can be varied by various operating conditions (time, pressure, temperature, etc). Therefore, based on existing operating experiments, we have searched operating condition to maximize energy saving by changing operating conditions of the facility. However, due to a short experiment period (from September to October), further research will be focused on considering seasonality.

Solar energy is a quantitatively unlimited, clean and non-pollutant source. It has a great potential for industrial commercial usages. For example, solar hot water system for domestic usage has been very popular in many counties. In Korea, the industries consume 47.7% of the total national energy, and the manufacturing sector uses 91.5% out of it. The main energy resoures available in Korea are oils, coals, and gases. There have been continuous efforts among the industries to reduce such energy consumptions by using alternative energy resources, such as solar energy, yet the technology has limited its proper applications to a level of satisfaction. In some advanced countries, research and development programs in solar energy applicable to the industrial usages are very active, and some systems are in the commercial market. Therefore, this paper describes the status and the feasibility for high-efficiency evacuated solar collector which was anticipated to applied for industrial process heat as an alternative of fossil energy.

기원전 27세기경, 고대 이집트의 피라미드건설을 위해 앗시리아 지방에서 나일강변으로 이주한 기술자들의 집합주택에는 거의 환기구가 설치되어 있었다는 기록이 있다. 이 환기방법은 실내와 실외의 기온차에 의한 공기의 부력을 이용한 중력환기로 생각된다. 중력환기는 지금도 주물공장 등의 고온, 발열을 수반하는 작업장에서 적용되고 있으며, 이와 같이 자연력을 이용한 환기를 자연환기라 부른다.

'90년대 이후 전기에너지의 효율적 이용에 따른 절약과 전력사용패턴의 개선을 목적으로 하는 수요관리 즉 DSM(Demand Side Management)의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 하지만 전기소비량의 약 60%를 차지하는 산업용에 대해서는 전동기 보급율 조사, 냉방수요 행태 조사 및 조명기기 보급실태 조사와 같이 단일기기나 온도에 대한 조사 및 분석만이 이루어져 왔으며, 산업용 전체를 대상으로 업종별 End-Use별 사용실태 조사, 분석, 예측 등 체계적 분석이 이루어지지 않았다. (중략)

Wireless sensor network is composed of sensor node with limited sources, and to maintain and repair is vexatious once made up. Accordingly it is important matter to maximize the network lifetime by minimizing the energy consumption in wireless sensor network, and utilizing the limited sources efficiently. In this paper, I propose a technique arranging the cluster number with efficiency in clustering method to optimize the energy consumption. The energy usage needed for wireless transmission varies in distance(threshold). This technique reduces the energy consumption considering the threshold when arranging the cluster number. I verify that the clustering method organized through the valid processes outperform the LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) in total energy consumption.

Recently, Smart Grid is a emerging topic in power and communication industry. Smart Grid refers to a evolution of the electricity supply infrastructure that monitors, protects, and intelligently optimize the operation of the interconnected elements including various type of generators, power grid, building/home automation system and end-use consumers. In order to successful implementation of Smart Grid, energy management function will be the key factor that coordinates and optimally controls the various loads according to the operating condition and environments, and the load patterns in residential and commercial building will be required as fundamental element for load management. In this study, we collects many types of energy usage data of electric appliances, analyze their load curves, and make the general load patterns for electrical appliance.

About 55% of total energy is consumed in the industrial division. The industrial heat pump application will show magnificent energy saving effect as well as higher cost efficiency because of larger energy consuming volume of each facility and longer operation hour and higher stability against seasonal temperature change. Over 90% of dryer for industrial usage has hot wind heat source and hot wind dryer is the representative type covering 68.7% while its 30 ~ 50% lower heat efficiency causes lots of energy loss by exhaust air. Re-usage of exhaust air can improve energy efficiency of dryer because 68% heat energy or 78% of hot air lose in exhaust air. Therefore, high temperature heat pump dryer can be the best alternative. Comparing to the existing dryer with 30% ~ 50% energy efficiency, newly developing high temperature heat pump dryer will enhance energy efficiency up to 60% ~ 80% efficiency. In this paper, heat pump system for high temperature was designed, constructed and tested. The results have shown that system COPh is estimated as 3.3.

Carrier-selective contacts (CSCs) solar cells are considerably attractive on highly efficient crystalline silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells due to their advantages of high thermal tolerance and the simple fabrication process. CSCs solar cells require a hole selective contact (HSC) layer that selectively collects only holes. In order to selectively collect holes, it must have a work function characteristic of 5.0 eV or more when contacted with n-type Si. The VO_x, NiO_x, and CuI_x thin films were fabricated and analyzed respectively to confirm their potential usage as a hole-selective contact (HSC) layer. All thin films showed characteristics of band-gap engergy > 3.0 eV, work function > 5.0 eV and minority carrier lifetime > 1.5 ms.

Recently, There have been many attempts to optimize energy usage in buildings and houses using Information Technology(IT) and the typical implementation can be found in Intelligent Building and Zero Energy Building. These kinds of buildings need to forecast the building loads, estimate the capacity requirement for power supply, and decide the capacity of the main transformer of the building. Currently, the capacity of the main transformer has been decided just using typical load estimation method not considering the load characteristics and patterns. In this paper, we propose a new load estimation method considering the load characteristics and patterns of the builiding. The proposed method was applied to actual mail center and verified the feasibility of application to actual design of buildings.
