Geothermal energy is the heat contained in the earth and its internal fluids. Geothermal energy is stored as sensible or latent heat. Supplied by both internal and external sources, it represents a vast supply which is only started to be tapped for generation of electric power. In general, this is natural dry or wet medium to high enthalpy steam at temperatures above $150^{\circ}C$. For some time, binary systems employing substances with a lower boiling point than water in a secondary circuit have been used to generate vapor for driving turbines at a lower temperature level. The utilization of binary plants and the possibility of production from enhanced geothermal systems can expand its availability on a worldwide basis. The geothermal electricity installed capacity is approaching the 10,000GW threshold. Geothermal energy is not present everywhere, but its baseload capability is a very important factor for its success.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under the partial shading condition is a challenging research topic for photovoltaic systems. Shaded photo-voltaic module result in complex peak patterns on the power versus voltage curve which can misguide classical MPPT algorithms. Thus, various kinds of global MPPT algorithms have been studied. These have typically consisted of partial shading detection, global peak search and MPPT. The conventional partial shading detection algorithm aims to detect all of the occurrences of partial shading. This results in excessive execution of global peak searches and discontinuous operation of the MPPT. This in turn, reduces the achievable power for the PV module. Based on a theoretical investigation of power verse voltage curve patterns under various partial shading conditions, it is realized that not all the occurrences of partial shadings require a global peak search. Thus, an intelligent partial shading detection algorithm that provides exact identification of global peak search necessity is essential for the efficient utilization of solar energy resources. This paper presents a new partial shading determinant algorithm utilizing adaptive threshold levels. Conventional methods tend to be too sensitive to sharp shading patterns but insensitive to smooth patterns. However, the proposed algorithm always shows superb performance, regardless of the partial shading patterns.

태양열을 동력원으로 하여 열에너지를 동력으로 변환, 물을 양수할 목적으로 저온 상변화물질인 펜탄을 작동물질로 하는 에너지변환장치를 제작하여 실험하였다. 장치는 각부의 크기를 그 기능과 상호작용 원리에 따라 논리에 맞게 최적 설계하였다. 장치의 제작 후 실험을 통하여 그 운전 특성을 분석하여 성능향상에 필요한 자료를 획득하고자 하였다. 작동물질인 펜탄을 가열하는 탱크 내부의 온도는 사이클 경과시간에 따라 약 $40­86^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 변동하고 있었으며, 물탱크내 온도 약 $23­24^{\circ}C$, 공기탱크 내 온도 $22­23.5^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 비교적 일정하게 유지되고 있었다. 응축기내의 온도와 냉각수출구 온도는 냉각수입구 온도수준에 따라 정의 상관관계로 변하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 열 교환 능력도 냉각수 온도수준이 낮을수록 커진다는 것을 확인하였다. 물탱크 내 온도와 응축기내 온도가 상당히 차이가 나므로 물탱크와 응축기와의 연결거리를 최소화하고 연결파이프 크기를 큰 것으로 하여 내부물질이동 저항을 줄이는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 실험 중 양수량은 1.6­2.4 liter로 나타났으며, 냉각시간의 수준에 따른 물탱크내의 흡입물높이 상승은 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 응축기로부터의 냉각수 배출파이프가 연장되지 않은 경우 냉각수 유량이 5.9 liter/min 이었으나 연장파이프가 있을 때는 2.3 liter/min으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상에서 양수하는 물의 온도가 낮고 유량이 부족한 경우에는 연장파이프를 이용하는 것이 좋고, 냉각수치 양은 풍부하지만 그 온도가 낮지 않은 경우에는 연장파이프를 이용하지 않는 것이 좋다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 실험에서의 응축기내 냉각수의 최대 열교환량은 95.75 kJ/min로 나타났다. 작동물질가열탱크와 기액 분리탱크 내의 압력은 0.13­0.14 MPa.a, 물탱크와 응축기내의 압력은 약 0.11 MPa.a정도로 나타났다.

The aim of this research is to apply the eQuest model to investigate the energy conservation in a multifamily building located in Dayton, Ohio by using a Trombe wall and an ammonia ground source heat pump (R-717 GSHP). Integration of the Trombe wall into the building is the first retrofitting measure in this study. Trombe wall as a passive solar system, has a simple structure which may reduce the heating demand of buildings significantly. Utilization of ground source heat pump is an effective approach where conventional air source heat pump doesn't have an efficient performance, especially in cold climates. Furthermore, the type of refrigerant in the heat pumps has a substantial effect on energy efficiency. Natural refrigerant, ammonia (R-717), which has a high performance and no negative impacts on the environment, could be the best choice for using in heat pumps. After implementing the eQUEST model in the said multifamily building, the total annual energy consumption with a conventional R-717 air-source-heat-pump (ASHP) system was estimated as the baseline model. The baseline model results were compared to those of the following scenarios: using R-717 GSHP, R410a GSHP and integration of the Trombe wall into the building. The Results specified that, compared to the baseline model, applying the R-717 GSHP and Trombe wall, led to 20% and 9% of energy conservation in the building, respectively. In addition, it was noticed that by using R-410a instead of R-717 in the GSHP, the energy demand increased by 14%.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under partial shading condition (PSC) is a challenging process in the PV array system. The shaded PV panel makes different peak patterns on the P-V curve and misguides the MPPT algorithm. Various kinds of global MPP (GMPP) detecting algorithms are used to overcome this issue. Generally, too frequent execution of GMPP tracking algorithm reduces the achievable power of PV panel due to time spent on the scanning process. Thus, partial shading detection algorithm is essential for efficient utilization of solar energy source. While conventional method only detects fast shading patterns, the proposed algorithm always shows superb performance regardless of the speed of partial shading patterns.

Major parameters determining the extent of Ca utilization were investigated for their calcination/sulfation behavior of limestone in the AFBC(Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion) environments. Three different particle sizes of Fredonia limestone were investigated in the lab-scale tubular reactor. The results of the calcination codnversion of limestone imply that thesd decomposition rate of CaCO3 into CaO is dependent on the amount of heat which limestone absorbed. Hg porosimeter measurement of calcined limestone illustrated that surface area and pore volume are increased with decreasing particle size. Raw Fredonia limestone and sequentially as well as simultaneously calcined/sulfated limestones were also examined using SEM. The SEM Studied showed that the surface of the calcined limestone particles is more diffusive nature than that of the parent calcite. However, the sulfur distribution pattern of simultaneously-treated particles and that of the se-quentially-treated one shows no difference.
