The objective of this study is to demonstrate the potential of radiant cooling systems using Ondol as an alternative cooling system in residential buildings. For this purpose, computer simulation and model experiments have been performed for the system performance analysis regarding comfort, floor surface condensation, and supply water temperature. The results of this study is the following: In radiant floor cooling system, room air temperatures were maintained within the set temperature range of $\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ without any discomfort condition. And taking into account only the condensation occurrence, it was possible to achieve radiant floor cooling for a period of about 77% of the total cooling period in weather condition of Seoul. The minimum supply water temperature is about 15$^{\circ}C$, so renewable energy system such as ground heat exchange system can be used as an alternative in cooling source. Also, floor surface condensation can be prevented by integrating with the dehumidification system.

Recently, more power facilities are needed to cope with the increasing electric demand. However, the additional construction of generators, transmission and distribution installations is not easy because of environmental problems and citizen's complaints. Under this circumstance, a microgrid system with distributed renewable resources emerges as an alternative of the traditional power systems. Moreover, the configuration of power system changes with more DC loads and more DC installations. This paper is written to introduce an idea of a genetic algorithm-based solution to determine the optimal capacity of the distributed generators depending on the types of system configuration: AC-link, DC-link and Hybrid-link types. In this paper, photovoltaic, wind turbine, energy storage system and diesel generator are considered as distributed generators and the feasibility of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the calculated capacity of each distributed resource with HOMER simulation results for 3 types of system configuration.

최근 신재생 에너지에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 계통 연계시 안정성 유지에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 계통의 안정성을 유지하기 위해 각국에서는 계통 연계 규정들을 통해 규제하고 있다. 본 논문은 계통연계형 신재생 에너지 발전 시스템에서 계통 사고 상황시 만족해야하는 LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through) 규정과 이에 따른 제어 방안에 대한 논문이다. LVRT 규정은 계통 전압 사고시 전압 감소율에 따라서 발전시스템이 계통에 연계되어 있어야하는 조건, trip시킬 조건 및 계통 회복시간등에 대해 규정해 놓았다. 이러한 규정에 따라서 전압 감소율 및 회복 시간에 따라서 무효전류를 공급해주어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 각국의 grid code에 대해 살펴보고 계통사고 상황시 계통연계형 신재생 에너지 발전시스템의 LVRT 제어 방안을 개발하였다. 이 제어 방안은 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 유효성을 검증하였다.

In this paper an integrated model of PV-AF (Photovoltaic-Active Filter) and PV-SPE(Photovoltaic Solid Polymer Electrolyte) system using PSCAD/EMTDC were explained in detaiil. The main concept of PV-AF system starts from the 'harmonics'. In order to deliver power to utility, PV system essentially needs a converter system. Here PV-AF system adds the function of active filter to the converter system installed in PV system, which was introduced already in several papers. PV-SPE system has been studied as a replacement of existing hydrogen production technology that emits large amount of carbon dioxide into atmosphere. Until now, these two systems, PV-AF and PV-SPE, have been considered separately However, in this paper, characteristics and advantages of combined system are discussed in detail.

This study focuses on a high-performance direct active and reactive power controller design that is successfully applicable to three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) AC/DC converters used in renewable distributed energy generation systems. The proposed controller can overcome the sluggish transient dynamic response of conventional controllers to rapid power command changes. Desired active and reactive powers can be thoroughly obtained at the end of each PWM period through a deadbeat solution. The proposed controller achieves an exact nonlinear cross-coupling decoupling of system power without using a predefined switching table or bang/bang hysteresis control. A graphical and analytical analysis that naturally leads to a control voltage vector selection is provided to confirm the finding. The proposed control strategy is evaluated on a 3 kW PWM AC/DC converter in the simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes a new power flow control method for soft-switched, four channel, five level resonant buck dc-dc converters. These converters have two input channels, which can be supplied from sources with identical or different voltages, and four output channels with arbitrary output voltages. They are specially designed to supply multilevel inverters. The design methodology for their power flow control has been developed considering a general case when the input voltages, output voltages and loads can be asymmetrical. A special emphasize is paid to the limitations and restrictions of operation. The theoretical studies are confirmed by numerical simulations and laboratory tests carried out at various operation points. Exploiting the advantages of the newly proposed power control strategy, the converter can supply five level inverters in dc microgrids, active filters, power factor correctors and electric drives. They can also play an interfacing role in renewable energy systems.

송전망에 장거리 지중선로로 재생 발전원이 연계되는 경우, 지중선로의 커패시턴스 성분으로 인한 계통으로 무효전력 주입이 발생하여 전압상승을 야기시킬 수 있다. 또한 재생 발전원의 발전량 조절의 어려움은 경부하시 전력 생산과 소비의 불균형을 발생시킬 수 있으며 계통의 전압상승을 심화시킬 수 있다. 계통의 전압상승은 계통의 신뢰도를 저하시키고 계통운영에 어려움을 수반한다. 이러한 전압상승은 무효전력보상을 통해 완화가 가능하다. 인버터 기반의 재생 발전원은 무효전력제어 제어 정밀도가 높고 빠르게 제어가 가능하여 계통의 전압상승 완화에 좋은 솔루션이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 송전망 계통에서의 전압상승 완화를 위한 재생 발전원의 무효전력제어기술을 설명한다. 재생 발전원의 무효전력지원에 따른 전압상승 완화 효과를 평가하기 위해 Matlab을 활용하여 송전망 전압상승 및 재생 발전원의 무효전력지원을 모의하였다. 계통 모델에는 영광의 태양광 및 풍력 발전소와 주변 계통의 파라메터를 적용하여 구현하였다.

Decision-making refers to identifying the best alternative among a set of alternatives. When a set of criteria are involved, the decision-making is called multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). In some cases, the involved criteria may be prioritized by the human decision-maker, which determines the importance degree for each criterion; hence, the decision-making becomes prioritized multi-criteria decision-making. The essence of prioritized MCDM is raking the different alternatives concerning the criteria and selecting best one(s) from the ranked list. This paper introduces a generic multi-level algorithm for ranking multiple alternatives in prioritized MCDM problems. The proposed algorithm is implemented by a decision support system for selecting the most critical short-road requests presented to the transportation ministry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The ranking results show that the proposed ranking algorithm achieves a good balance between the importance degrees determined by the human decision maker and the score value of the alternatives concerning the different criteria.

For the diversity of energy supply system and the improvement in the habitants' living environments of the islands, it is possible and necessary to use the natural energy as resources of the electric power generation system. In this study, the characteristics of wind and solar radiation on 4 islands offshore Namhae-Tongyoung of Korea were measured for one year from November 2010 to October 2011 and analyzed in relation to energy resources survey. As a result of measurement and analysis, the respective wind rose diagrams of 4 islands were made, and showed that the frequencies of wind directions were quite different from among the islands. The Rayleigh probability distribution of wind velocity showed that the wind speeds of KR and SS were mainly 2~5m/s, and the respective quantities of electric power generation of 4 islands were shown to be different. The variation of solar radiations and potential quantity of those uses were measured to be similar to each other among 4 islands.
