대형 상용차용 PEMFC 스택 내구성은 승용차용보다 5배 이상 되어야 한다. 승용차용 PEMFC 고분자막의 화학적 가속 내구성 평가(AST)를 대형 상용차용에 그대로 적용하면 AST 시간이 2,500시간 이상이 되는 문제점이 있다. DOE(Department of Energy)의 AST 시간을 단축시키기 위해 Cathode 가스로 공기대신 산소를 사용하여 고분자막의 화학적 내구성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 Nafion XL을 고분자막으로 사용해 OCV, 90 ℃, RH 30%, H₂ (Anode), 공기 또는 산소조건으로 가속 내구성을 평가하였다. DOE 내구 목표 기준 중 Short 저항 감소가 제일 빨리 나타났다. 공기대신 산소를 사용함으로써 전극 열화의 영향을 적게 받으면서, 고분자막의 열화 속도를 가속화시켜 고분자막 내구성 평가시간을 절반 이하로 단축시켰다.

Energy consumption has grown alongside dramatic population increases. Statistics show that buildings in particular utilize a significant amount of energy, worldwide. Because of this, building energy prediction is crucial to best optimize utilities' energy plans and also create a predictive model for consumers. To improve energy prediction performance, this paper proposes a ResNet-LSTM model that combines residual networks (ResNets) and long short-term memory (LSTM) for energy consumption prediction. ResNets are utilized to extract complex and rich features, while LSTM has the ability to learn temporal correlation; the dense layer is used as a regression to forecast energy consumption. To make our model more robust, we employed Huber loss during the optimization process. Huber loss obtains high efficiency by handling minor errors quadratically. It also takes the absolute error for large errors to increase robustness. This makes our model less sensitive to outlier data. Our proposed system was trained on historical data to forecast energy consumption for different time series. To evaluate our proposed model, we compared our model's performance with several popular machine learning and deep learning methods such as linear regression, neural networks, decision tree, and convolutional neural networks, etc. The results show that our proposed model predicted energy consumption most accurately.

A forced outage due to a steam generator tube leak in a Korean nuclear power plant was reported.1) Primary water stress corrosion cracking has occurred in many tubes in the plant, and they were repaired using sleeves or plugs. In order to develop proper repair criteria, it is necessary to understand the leak behavior of the tubes containing stress corrosion cracks. Stress corrosion cracks were developed in 0.1 M sodium tetrathionate solution at room temperature. Steam generator(SG) tubes with short cracks were successfully fabricated with a restricted solution contact method. The leak rates of the degraded tubes were measured at room temperature. Some tubes with 100 % through wall cracks showed an increase of leak rate with time at a constant pressure.

Advanced control is getting increasingly demanded in water and wastewater treatment systems. Various case studies have shown significant savings in operating costs, including energy costs, and remarkably short payback times. It has been demonstrated that instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) may increase the capacity of biological nutrient removing wastewater treatment plants by 10-30% today. With further understanding and exploitation of the mechanisms involved in biological nutrient removal the improvements due to ICA may reach another 20-50% of the total system investments within the next 10-20 years. Disturbances are the reason for control of any system. In a wastewater treatment system they are mostly related to the load variations, but many disturbances are created also within the plant. In water supply systems some of the major disturbances are related the customer demand as well as to leakages or bursts in the pipelines or the distribution networks. Hardly any system operates in steady state but is more or less in a transient state all the time. Water and energy are closely related. The role of energy in water and wastewater operations is discussed. With increasing energy costs and the threatening climate changes this issue will grow in importance.

Disk brake system transforms a large amount of kinetic energy to thermal energy in a short time. As the size and speed of automotive increases in recent years, the disk brakes absorbs more thermal energy. And this thermal energy can cause an unacceptable braking performance due to the high transient temperature, that is attained at the friction surface of brake disk and pad. Although these high temperatures are one of the biggest problems. In this study, the overall thermal behavior of ventilated disk brake system was investigated by numerical method. The 3-Dimensional unsteady model was simulated by using a general purpose software package “FLUENT” to obtain the temperature distributions of disk and pad. The model includes the more realistic braking method, which repeats braking and release. The effects of several parameters such as the repeated braking, inlet air velocity and thermal conductivity on the temperature distribution were investigated.

A new route for the synthesis of silver doped of zinc sulfide phosphor by combustion method has been investigated. Silver nitrate was decomposed with urea or carbohydrazide to give small size particles in presence of alkali metal halides at low temperature compared to the conventional method. The high temperature inherent to the highly exothermic nature of redox reaction leads to well-crystallized powder in short time. The phosphors thus obtained were further heated at $1050^{\circ}C$ in an inert atmosphere for 3hrs to get better luminescence properties.

The piezoelectric coupling in piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters with load resistance induces electrical damping as well as increase in the system stiffness. Starting from analytically deriving the explicit relations through governing equations in the frequency domain, this work identifies the characteristics of the electrically induced damping mechanism and shows that the electrically induced damping serves as a structural hysteretic damping on condition that a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester is excited at its short-circuit resonant frequency and its load resistor is optimally impedance- matched at the same time. Finally, it is analytically verified that the equivalence of a mechanical and an electrically induced damping ratio is required for the maximum power generation at a load resistor, which was claimed in some literature.

In this paper, the analysis of the arc-flow in the GCB is presented by using the modified FLIC method and the arc model. The modified FLIC method adopts the upwind scheme and requires short calculation time. The arc model used in this paper treats the arc as a energy source in the energy equation. The energy source is composed of the ohmic heating and the radiation energy transfer. At each step, the movement of electrode is simulated. From the simulation, reasonable results can be obtained.

산업부문에서 '저탄소 녹색성장'의 달성 가능성은 기존 화석연료 사용의 의존도를 줄이는 것이 장기적으로 산업 생산성의 향상으로 이어질 수 있느냐에 달려 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 제조업을 대상으로 에너지절약시설에 대한 투자가 산업 생산성에 미치는 장단기 파급효과를 분석하는 이론적 모형을 제시하고 계량분석기법을 통하여 통계적 유의성 유무를 검증하였다. 에너지절약시설에 투자할 경우 단기적으로는 투자지출이 늘어나 생산비용이 증가하는 '측정효과'와 기술혁신을 위한 신규투자가 지연되는 부(負)의 '실질효과', 장기적으로는 에너지집약도가 개선되어 생산비용이 절감되는 정(正)의 '실질효과' 등이 나타날 수 있다. 산업 생산성의 변화를 설명하는 데 있어서 에너지절약시설 투자규모의 내생성 문제를 해결하기 위하여 2SLS 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 생산액 대비 에너지 투입비용이 상대적으로 높은 제조업 5개 부문을 대상으로 1982년~2006년까지의 연도별 자료를 사용하여 에너지절약시설 투자의 생산성 파급효과 여부를 검증한 결과 화학제품산업을 제외하고 4개 부문에서는 해당 추정계수의 통계적 유의성이 기각되었다. 화학제품산업의 경우 부(負)의 '실질효과'가 정(正)의 '실질효과'를 압도하며 에너지절약시설 투자비용 대비 에너지비용 절감효과는 상대적으로 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

Screen printing is commonly used to form the front/back electrodes in silicon solar cell. But it has caused high resistance and low aspect ratio, resulting in decreased conversion efficiency in solar cell. Recently the plating method has been combined with screen-printed c-Si solar cell to reduce the resistance and improve the aspect ratio. In this paper, we investigated the effect of light induced silver plating with screen-printed c-Si solar cells and compared their electrical properties. All wafers were textured, doped, and coated with anti-reflection layer. The metallization process was carried out with screen-printing, followed by co-fired. Then we performed light induced Ag plating by changing the plating time in the range of 20 sec~5min with/without external light. For comparison, we measured the light I-V characteristics and electrode width by optical microscope. During plating, silver ions fill the porous structure established in rapid silver particle sintering during co-firing step, which results in resistance decrease and efficiency improvement. The plating rate was increased in presence of light lamp, resulting in widening the electrode with and reducing the short-circuit current by shadowing loss. With the optimized plating condition, the conversion efficiency of solar cells was increased by 0.4% due to decreased series resistance. Finally we obtained the short-circuit current of 8.66 A, open-circuit voltage of 0.632 V, fill factor of 78.2%, and efficiency of 17.8% on a silicon solar cell.
