The solar and meteorological resources map is calculated using by one-layer solar radiation model (GWNU model), satellites data and numerical model output on the Korean peninsula. The Meteorological input data to perform the GWNU model are retrieved aerosol optical thickness from MODIS (TERA/AQUA), total ozone amount from OMI (AURA), cloud fraction from geostationary satellites (MTSAT-1R) and temperature, pressure and total precipitable water from output of RDAPS (Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System) and KLAPS (Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System) model operated by KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration). The model is carried out every hour using by the meteorological data (total ozone amount, aerosol optical thickness, temperature, pressure and cloud amount) and the basic data (surface albedo and DEM). And the result is analyzed the distribution in time and space and validated with 22 meteorological solar observations. The solar resources map is used to the solar energy-related industries and assessment of the potential resources for solar plant. The National Institute of Meteorological Research in KMA released $4km{\times}4km$ solar map in 2008 and updated solar map with $1km{\times}1km$ resolution and topological effect in 2010.

미생물연료전지(MFC)는 미생물의 촉매 반응을 통해 다양한 유기물로부터 전기를 얻을 수 있는 장치이다. MFC는 여러 분야로 응용이 가능하며 현재 생산되는 전력이 낮기 때문에 상용화가 되기 위해서는 미생물연료전지의 성능을 증진시키는 연구가 필요하다. 현재 연료전지에 비해 MFC의 성능이 낮은 이유로는 미생물 분해시간이 오래 걸린다는 점과 음극에서 산소 환원의 과정에서 과전압이 상당히 높기 때문이다. MFC는 전력량이 미흡하지만 많은 요인들을 고려하면 신재생에너지로써 현재 일반적으로 사용 하고 있는 이온교환막인 Nafion 117 대비 전력밀도가 PP(Poly Propylene) 80에서 약 11배 높은 저비용의 미세 다공성 부직포로 변경하여 하 폐수를 처리하는데 드는 비용을 절감시키면서 전력을 발생시키는 친환경적인 에너지원이 될 수 있을 것이다. 모든 폐기물은 미생물의 먹이로 작용할 수 있다는 점에서 미생물 연료 전지의 지속가능성은 무한하다. 본 논문에서는 미생물연료전지의 구성, 운전 매개변수의 최적화 및 성능에 대한 최근 연구를 고찰하고 SSaM-GG(Smart, Shared, and Mutual-Green Growth) 또는 GG-SSaM =(Green Growth - Smart, Shared, and Mutual)라는 개념을 통하여 MFC의 지속가능한 발전에 대한 중간지표들을 개발하고자하는 바이다.

남미지역은 재생에너지 및 비-재생에너지 분야에서 풍부한 에너지 보유량을 자랑하는 지역이다. 하지만 오늘날 이 지역의 에너지 안보는 에너지의 공급과 수요의 지역 간 균형을 맞추지 못하면서 이웃 국가 간 갈등과 분열을 보이고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 21세기 들어 이 지역에서 일고 있는 남미지역 에너지안보 공동 구축 움직임은 에너지 국제협력과 통합이라는 새로운 움직임을 낳고 있다. 이 논문은 이러한 움직임을 고찰해 보고 남미지역 에너지 협력과 통합의 가능성을 다양한 관점에서 살펴보고자 한다. 특히 이를 주도적으로 리드하고 있는 남미지역 에너지 대국 브라질의 사례를 통해 더욱 심도있게 분석 고찰해 본다. 에너지협력과 통합은 이들 지역 공동체에게 막대한 경제적 이익을 가져다 줄 수 있다. 하지만 문제는 브라질이 이들 지역 공동체 개별 국가들을 에너지협력 및 통합체에 대한 제도적 장치를 얼마나 잘 리드해 가느냐에 달려있다. 이 논문은 이러한 제도적 취약성과 다양한 내부 갈등의 배경들과 원인들을 분석해 향후 통합 가능성을 진단해 보고자 한다.

Small hydropower resources for five major river systems have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow caused from rainfall condition. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for small hydropower(SHP) plants is established. Monthly inflow data measured at Andong dam were analyzed. The predicted results from the developed models in this study showed that the data were in good agreement with measured results of long term inflow at Andong dam. It was found that the models developed in this study can be used to predict the available potential and technical potential of SHP sites effectively. Based on the models developed in this study, the hydrologic performance for small hydropower sites located in river systems have been analyzed. The results show that the hydrologic performance characteristics of SHP sites have some difference between the river systems. Especially, the specific design flowrate and specific output of SHP sites located on North Han river and Nakdong river systems have large difference compared with other river systems.

Considering the fact that more than $97\%$ of fossil energy resources such as oil and natural gas needed in Korea rely on import, primary concern of the national economy is to secure future energy sources. Gas hydrates. which is non-conventional types of natural gas, distribute worldwide, especially in marine and permafrost Gas hydrates draw great attention recently as a new clean energy resources substituting conventional oil gas due to its presumed huge amount of volume reaching 10 trillion tons of gas and environmentally friendly characteristics. Results of preliminary survey by Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) and Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) showed that gas hydrates can be present in deep sea over 1,000m water depth in the East Sea. Gas hydrates can contribute to the rapidly increasing consumption of natural gas in Korea and achieve the self-support target by 2010 with $30\%$ of total natural gas demand. This study presents the potentialities and development prospects of gas hydrate as a future energy source.

Congestion Management (CM) is an attractive research area in the electrical power transmission with the power compensation abilities. Reconfiguration and the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices utilization relieve the congestion in transmission lines. The lack of optimal power (real and reactive) usage with the better transfer capability and minimum cost is still challenging issue in the CM. The prediction of suitable place for the energy resources to control the power flow is the major requirement for power handling scenario. This paper proposes the novel optimization principle to select the best location for the energy resources to achieve the real-reactive power compensation. The parameters estimation and the selection of values with the best fitness through the Symmetrical Distance Travelling Optimization (SDTO) algorithm establishes the proper controlling of optimal power flow in the transmission lines. The modified fitness function formulation based on the bus parameters, index estimation correspond to the optimal reactive power usage enhances the power transfer capability with the minimum cost. The comparative analysis between the proposed method with the existing power management techniques regarding the parameters of power loss, cost value, load power and energy loss confirms the effectiveness of proposed work in the distributed renewable energy systems.

Many countries are increasing their investments in smart grid technology to enhance energy efficiency, address climate change, and trigger a green energy revolution. In addition to these goals, Korea also seeks to promote national competitiveness, prepare for the growth of the renewable energy industry, and export industrialization through its strategic promotion of the smart grid. Given its inherent representativeness for Korean implementation of the smart grid and its growth potential, Jeju Island was selected by the Korean government as the site for smart grid testing in June 2009. This paper presents a new design for the electricity market and an operational scheme for testing Smart Electricity Services in the Jeju smart grid demonstration project. The Jeju smart grid test-bed electricity market is constructed on the basis of day-ahead and real-time markets to provide two-way electricity transaction environments. The experience of the test-bed market operation shows that the competitive electricity market can facilitate the smart grid deployment in Korea by allowing various demand side resources to be active market players.

Purpose - While sustainability is based on the argument that the world's resources are finite and their demand will ultimately surpass supply, entrepreneurship on the other hand argues that there are inherent opportunities to address this through conserving, recycling, switching to more renewable resources and making effective use of available finite resources. Research design, data, and methodology - In response to the lack of scientific information on the outcomes of entrepreneurship in rural Nigeria, this paper surveys the benefits (social, economic and environmental) of women engagement in waste plastic bags recycling in Adamawa State of Nigeria. A descriptive research design was adopted and data was collected from 26 respondents with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire, which was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in frequency tables. Results - Results indicated that 21 women have gained employment, who would have remained unemployed; 80.8% of who make profits below 10000 Naira per month and collectively, they recycle 179.3kg of waste polythene bag per month. Conclusions - It was recommended that the women should be further their education; adequate records of costs and sales should be kept; and savings should be encouraged among them.
