As a major energy consumption province, the issue about the carbon emissions in Hebei Province, China has been concerned by the government. The carbon emissions can be effectively reduced due to a more rational energy consumption structure. Thus, in this paper the constraint of low carbon emissions is considered as a foundation and four energies--coal, petroleum, natural gas and electricity including wind power, nuclear power and hydro-power etc are selected as the main analysis objects of the adjustment of energy structure. This paper takes energy cost minimum and carbon trading cost minimum as the objective functions based on the economic growth, energy saving and emission reduction targets and constructs an optimization model of energy consumption structure. And empirical research about energy consumption structure optimization in 2015 and 2020 is carried out based on the energy consumption data in Hebei Province, China during the period 1995-2013, which indicates that the energy consumption in Hebei dominated by coal cannot be replaced in the next seven years, from 2014 to 2020, when the coal consumption proportion is still up to 85.93%. Finally, the corresponding policy suggestions are put forward, according to the results of the energy structure optimization in Hebei Province.

무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network : WSN)에서 한정된 에너지를 가진 센서 노드의 동작 기간을 연장하기 위해서 LEACH와 PEGASIS, PEDAP 등의 대표적인 라우팅 방식이 제안되었다. 이들은 데이터가 완전 퓨전(perfect fusion)되는 환경에서 주기적으로 데이터를 수집하여 한 노드로 전송하는 convergecast 라우팅 방식을 사용한다. 그러나 convergecast와 에너지 분배를 동시에 다루는 과정에서 토폴로지에 관한 특성과 한계에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 이 논문은 한 번의 convergecast에 소비되는 총에너지의 관점에서 토폴로지를 다음과 같이 연구하였다. 우리는 주요 라우팅 토폴로지로 최소 스패닝 체인(Minimum Spanning Chain : MSC)과 최소 스패닝 트리(Minimum Spanning Tree : MST), PEGASIS 체인, 제안하는 LECSEN체인을 소개하거나 정의하였다. 우리는 MSC를 선형 프로그래밍(LP) 방식으로 풀었으며, MSC나 MST에 준하는 토폴로지를 만들기 위해서 LECSEN 체인을 제안하였다. Monte Carlo 방식의 시뮬레이션을 통해 토폴로지의 전체 길이와 각 링크 길이의 분포를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 WSN 환경에서 LECSEN은 MST에 필적할 만큼 에너지를 적게 소모하고, 각 센서 노드의 에너지 소비가 매우 균등하였다. 그러므로 우리는 LECSEN 체인이 WSN 라우팅에서 매우 유용하다는 사실을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 무선채널의 신호감쇄특성으로 인하여 멀티홉을 통한 센서네트워크의 에너지소비를 최소화하려는 기존의 연구를 재해석하고 무선채널의 특성과 하드웨어의 전력소비를 동시에 고려하여 센서네트워크의 에너지소비를 모델링하였다. 또한 센서네트워크 하드웨어 플랫폼에 주로 사용되고 있는 RF모듈인 Chipcon사의 CC2420을 대상으로 최대 전송전력과 최소의 홉을 통한 데이터 전송이 네트워크의 에너지효율에 미치는 영향을 다양한 상황의 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다. 최대 전송전력으로 최소의 홉을 통하여 전송했을 경우, 낮은 전송전력으로 여러 홉을 거쳐 데이터를 전송하는 것보다 네트워크의 에너지소비가 적게 발생하는 것으로 관찰된다. 높은 전송전력에 따라 증가하는 재전송을 고려한 결과 또한 최대 전송전력으로 전송했을 경우 최대 33.1%의 에너지효율을 얻을 수 있다.

Micro Grid(MG)는 새로운 개념의 전력시스템으로 Smart Grid 기술의 일환으로 관심을 받고 있다. 기본적인 MG의 개념은 신/재생에너지를 포함한 분산전원의 도입 및 효율적인 계통운영이지만 여기에는 전력공급의 신뢰성과 경제성이 배제될 수 없는 요소임은 확실하다. MG라는 새로운 계통의 개념을 도입하는데 있어서 기존 전력계통(Utility Grid)과의 간섭, 신뢰도 및 전력품질의 문제들이 해결해야 하는 숙제로 떠오르고 있는데 이에 대한 대안 중 하나가 에너지저장기술이다. 그러나 본 기술은 아직까지는 초기투자비 및 운영유지비가 매우 높은 수준이기 때문에 MG의 설계에 있어서 신뢰도와 경제성을 함께 고려한 Energy Storage System(ESS)의 설치방법이 필요로 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 공급신뢰도기준을 충족할 수 있는 ESS의 최소필요용량 및 적정투자시점을 결정하는 확률론적 방법을 제안하고 이에 대한 사례연구를 수행하였다.

We study the routing problem in all-wireless networks based on cooperative transmissions. We model the minimum-energy cooperative path (MECP) problem and prove that this problem is NP-complete. We hence design an approximation algorithm called cooperative shortest path (CSP) algorithm that uses Dijkstra's algorithm as the basic building block and utilizes cooperative transmissions in the relaxation procedure. Compared with traditional non-cooperative shortest path algorithms, the CSP algorithm can achieve a higher energy saving and better balanced energy consumption among network nodes, especially when the network is in large scale. The nice features lead to a unique, scalable routing scheme that changes the high network density from the curse of congestion to the blessing of cooperative transmissions.

The thermal characteristics of quench propagation is a crucial problem for the stability of the superconductor. The objective of this study is to simulate the quench propagation with the variation of disturbance energy in Bi-2223/Ag HTS pancake coil. In this analysis, the temperature-time trace of a point away from heater was calculated under conditions of different quench energy. The critical disturbance energy between quench propagation and quench recovering was calculated, In addition, the minimum quench energy with different transport currents was obtained through the present simulation. These results are significant to the application of HTS.

Large areas must be rapidly screened to monitor radiation in marine environments. For this purpose, this study developed a mobile real-time gamma-ray measurement system for shipboard use and evaluated its performance. The system was developed to measure engine or generator cooling water by installing a canister inside the ship. The minimum detectable activity of the system is about 0.8 Bq/L for a 60 s measurement period, and real-time data transmission and remote control are possible. The system was tested in the field and is currently being installed and operated on ships in service. Such a ship-based real-time gamma-radiation measurement system is suitable for a wide range of marine radiation surveillance applications and is expected to be rapidly deployed.

In this study, to maximize the solar energy utilization for greenhouse heating during the winter season, solar energy-underground latent heat storage system was constructed, and the thermal performance of the system has been analyzed to obtain the basic data for realization of greenhouse solar heating system. The results are summarized as follows. 1. $Na_2SO_4{\cdot}10H_20$ was selected as a latent heat storage material, its physical properties were stabilized and the phase change temperature was controlled at $13{\sim}15^{\circ}C$. 2. Solar radiation of winter season was the lowest value in December, and Jinju area was the highest and the lowest value was shown in Jeju area. 3. The minimum inner air temperature of greenhouse with latent heat storage system(LHSS) was $7.0{\sim}7.5^{\circ}C$ higher than that of greenhouse without LHSS and was $7.0{\sim}11.2^{\circ}C$ higher than the minimum ambient air temperature. 4. Greenhouse heating effect of latent heat storage system was getting higher according to the increase of solar radiation and was not concerned with the variation of minimum ambient air temperature. 5. The relative humidity of greenhouse with latent heat storage system was varied from 50 to 85%, but that of greenhouse without LHSS was varied from 30 to 93%. 6. The heating cost of greenhouse with solar energy-latent heat storage system was about 24% of that with the kerosene heating system.

This paper presents a cost effective quasi-resonant soft-switching PWM high frequency inverter with minimum circuit components. This inverter can achieve wider soft commutation, simpler power circuit configuration, smaller volumetric size, lower cost and wider power regulation range, higher-efficiency as compared with single ended quasi-resonant ZVS-PFM inverter and active voltage clamped quasi-resonant ZVS-PWM inverter. The operation principle of the proposed inverter is described on the basis of the simulation and experimental results, together with its operating performances in steady state. The operating performances of this unique proposed high frequency inverter based on ZVS and ZCS arms-related soft commutation principle is evaluated and discussed as compared with the active voltage-clamped ZVS-PWM inverter and a conventional single-ended ZVS-PFM inverter. The practical effectiveness of a novel type quasi-resonant soft-switching PWM high frequency inverter using IGBT is actually proved for consumer induction heated appliances as rice cooker, hot water producer, steamer and super heated steamer. The extended bidirectional circuit topology of quasi-resonant PWM high frequency inverter with minimum circuit components is demonstrated, which operate as the direct frequency changer.

Dynamic Voltage Restorer(DVR) which is installed between the supply and a critical load can restore voltage disturbances in distribution system. The restoration is based on injecting the same voltages as voltage sags. The ideal restoration is compensation to make the load voltages be unchanged. But voltage restoration involves real power or energy injection and the capability of energy storage is limited. So it must be considered how injection energy can be minimized and voltages can be made close to the voltages before fault. This paper describes conventional restoration techniques, which draw minimum energy from the DVR in order to correct a given voltage sag or swell. And this paper proposes a new concept of restoration technique to inject minimum energy. The proposed method is based on the definition of voltage tolerance in load side. Hence using the proposed method a particular disturbance can be corrected with less amount of storage energy compared to those of conventional methods.
