BIPV system that can alternate building envelope by making materials of PV module should be considered in initial design step for applying PV system efficiently in office building. Mean while, area of the building skin also increases as the number of floors increases, but the valid area that can apply BIPV system in effect decreases relatively. Despite of this weak point, installing BIPV system is still being evaluated as the only measure left that can reduce electronic energy consumption in the building. Therefore, the impact on building energy consumption according to the increase of the number of floors when BIPV system is applied in the building was analyzed. And it will be used as basic information for application of BIPV in office building. Conomic about application of BIPV is interpreted to be secured within the 10 story high. Forover the 11 floors, the methods of increasing the contribution ratio produced by BIPV system through the optimization of install angle and increase in install area of south, high efficiency should be considered. The ways to reduce basic load by integrated design with another renewable energy besides BIPV should be found. Later, the study on the total building energy comsumption with PV generation according to the various type of the basic load and ratio of the width and depth will be performed based on this study.

Since the Korean War, Korea has experienced modernization. The population increase by baby booming has asked for more space for educational facilities. In such a situation, the purpose of educational facilities was to accommodate continuously increasing students, rather than seeking for quantitative demands. In addition, in accordance with social changes, educational shifts were required. After the revision of the seventh national curriculum in education in 1997, the school buildings became varied. The design of buildings in accordance with educational curriculum has been improved, but still lack of forming comfortable environment and considering energy efficiency in school buildings. For the improvement of educational environments, educational media such as TV and computers have been provided, and energy systems, including heating and cooling systems, has been continuously increased. As a result, it appeared that energy use in school buildings and facilities has been steadily increased and that the structure of energy consumption has been also changed, especially with regard to electricity use. Living in the 21st century, human beings face global environmental issues, such as global warming, geographical climate changes, and ozone destruction that are the consequences of fossil energy use. Therefore, even in industrial areas, considering a counterplan for low energy use is being paid attention. Starting with Kyoto Protocol in 1992, people try to decrease carbon dioxide and to develop alternative energies (i.e. natural energy); for example, solar energy, wind force, terrestrial heat, and water power. Advanced countries already set up a criterion for $CO_2$ decrease ranging from office buildings to residential houses and also propose alternatives for the $CO_2$ decrease. However, there is no such a plan for low energy use and $CO_2$ decrease in school facilities, and any research on the actual conditions was not accomplished. Thus, this study examines energy demand in classrooms that take up a large portion of energy demand in school building structure.

Most of the fossil power plants firing lower grade coals are challenged with maintaining good combustion conditions while maximizing generation and minimizing emissions. In many cases significant derate, availability losses and increase in unburned carbon levels can be attributed to poor combustion conditions as a result of poorly controlled local fuel and air distribution within the boiler furnace. The poor combustion conditions are directly related to the gas flow deviation in upper furnace and convection tube-bank but a less reported issue related to in large-scale oppose wall fired boilers. In order to develop a on-line combustion monitoring system and suggest an alternative heat flux estimation method at tube bank, which is very useful information for boiler design tool and blower optimizing system, field test was conducted at operating power boiler. During the field test the exhaust gases' temperature and tube metal temperature were monitored by using a spatially distributed sensors grid which located in the boiler's high temperature vestibule region. At these locations. the flue gas flow is still significantly stratified, and air in-leakage is minimal which enables tracing of poor combustion zones to specific burners and over-fire air ports. Test results showed that the flue gas monitoring method is more proper than metal temperature distribution monitoring for real time combustion monitoring because tube metal temp. distribution monitoring method is related to so many variables such as flue gas, internal flow unbalance, spray etc., Heat flux estimation at the tube bank with flue gas temp. and metal temp. data can be alternative method when tube drilling type sensor can't able to use.

Ultrathin oxide encapsulated metal-oxide hybrid nanocatalysts have been fabricated by a soft chemical and facile route. First, SiO2 nanoparticles of 25~30 nm size have been synthesized by modified Stobber's method followed by amine functionalization. Metal nanoparticles (Ru, Rh, Pt) capped with polymer/citrate have been deposited on functionalized SiO2 and finally an ultrathin layer of TiO2 coated on surface which prevents sintering and provides high thermal stability while maximizing the metal-oxide interface for higher catalytic activity. TEM studies confirmed that 2.5 nm sized metal nanoparticles are well dispersed and distributed throughout the surface of 25 nm SiO2 nanoparticles with a 3-4 nm TiO2 ultrathin layer. The metal nanoparticles are still well exposed to outer surface, being enabled for surface characterization and catalytic activity. Even after calcination at $600^{\circ}C$, the structure and morphology of hybrid nanocatalysts remain intact confirm the high thermal stability. XPS spectra of hybrid nanocatalyst suggest the metallic states as well as their corresponding oxide states. The catalytic activity has been evaluated for high temperature CO oxidation reaction as well as photocatalytic H2 generation under solar simulation. The design of hybrid structure, high thermal stability, and better exposure of metal active sites are the key parameters for the high catalytic activity. The maximization of metal-TiO2 interface interaction has the great role in photocatalytic H2 production.

Metal nanowires can be coated on various substrates to create transparent conducting films that can potentially replace the dominant transparent conductor, indium tin oxide, in displays, solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, and electrochromic windows. One issue with these metal nanowire based transparent conductive films is that the resistance between the nanowires is still high because of their low aspect ratio. Here, we demonstrate high-performance transparent conductive films with silver nanofiber networks synthesized by a low-cost and scalable electrospinning process followed by two-step sequential thermal treatments. First, the PVP/$AgNO_3$ precursor nanofibers, which have an average diameter of 208 nm and are several thousands of micrometers in length, were synthesized by the electrospinning process. The thermal behavior and the phase and morphology evolution in the thermal treatment processes were systematically investigated to determine the thermal treatment atmosphere and temperature. PVP/$AgNO_3$ nanofibers were transformed stepwise into PVP/Ag and Ag nanofibers by two-step sequential thermal treatments (i.e., $150^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$ for 0.5 h and $300^{\circ}C$ in Ar for 3 h); however, the fibrous shape was perfectly maintained. The silver nanofibers have ultrahigh aspect ratios of up to 10000 and a small average diameter of 142 nm; they also have fused crossing points with ultra-low junction resistances, which result in high transmittance at low sheet resistance.

V2G (Vehicle to Grid) technology for an EV (Electric Vehicle) has been assumed as so promising in a near future for its useful energy resource concept but still yet to be developed around the world for specific service purposes through various R&BD projects. Basically, V2G returns power stored in vehicle at a cheaper or unused time to the grid at more expensive or highly peaked time, and is accordingly supposed to provide such roles like peak shaving or load levelling according to customer load curve, frequency regulation or ancillary reserves, and balancing power fluctuation to grid from the weather-sensitive renewable sources like wind or solar generations. However, it has recently been debated over its prominent usage as diffusing EVs and the required charging/discharging infrastructure, partially for its addition of EV ownership costs with more frequent charging/discharging events and user inconvenience with a relative long-time participation in the previously engaged V2G program. This study suggests that a Korean DR (Demand Response) service integrated V2G system especially based upon a dynamic charge/pause/discharge scheme newly proposed to ISO/IEC 15118 rev. 2 can deal with these concerns with more profitable business model, while fully making up for the additional component (ex. battery) and service costs. It also indicates that the optimum economic, environmental, and grid impacts can be simulated for this V2G-DR service particularly designed for EV aggregators (V2G service providers) by proposing a specific V2G engagement program for the mediated DR service providers and the distributed EV owners.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a vital source of clean and sustainable hydrogen energy. Moreover, the large-scale H₂ production is currently necessary, while long-term stability and high PEC activity still remain important issues. In this study, a GaN-based photoelectrode was modified by an additional NH₃ treatment (900℃ for 10 min) and its PEC behavior was monitored. The bare GaN exhibited a highly crystalline wurtzite structure with the (002) plane and the optical bandgap was approximately 3.2 eV. In comparison, the NH₃-treated GaN film exhibited slightly reduced crystallinity and a small improvement in light absorption, resulting from the lattice stress or cracks induced by the excessive N supply. The minor surface nanotexturing created more surface area, providing electroactive reacting sites. From the surface XPS analysis, the formation of an N-Ga-O phase on the surface region of the GaN film was confirmed, which suppressed the charge recombination process and the positive shift of E_FB. Therefore, these effects boosted the PEC activity of the NH₃-treated GaN film, with J values of approximately 0.35 and 0.78 mA·cm^-2 at 0.0 and 1.23 V_RHE, respectively, and an onset potential (V_on) of -0.24 V_RHE. In addition, there was an approximate 50% improvement in the J value within the highly applied potential region with a positive shift of V_on. This result could be explained by the increased nanotexturing on the surface structure, the newly formed defect/trap states correlated to the positive V_on shift, and the formation of a GaO_xN_1-x phase, which partially blocked the charge recombination reaction.

신 재생 에너지는 석탄, 석유, 원자력, 및 천연가스가 아닌 태양에너지, 바이오매스, 풍력, 소수력, 연료전지, 석탄액화 가스화, 해양에너지, 폐기물 에너지 및 기타로 구분되고 있고, 이 외도 지열, 수소, 석탄에 의한 물질을 혼합한 유동성 연료를 의미한다. 세계 선진국들은 신 재생에너지 기술개발의 중요성을 인식하고 기술개발 및 상용화를 위하여 중장기적인 개발계획을 수립하고 과감한 정책적 재정적 지원을 하고 있는 상황이다. 정부에서 지금까지 추진해 온 신 재생에너지 기술개발사업 유형 및 분야별 성과관리 확산, 사업화 추진이 소기의 목적을 제대로 달성하고 있다는 실증적 효과분석이 필요하다. 신재생에너지와 관련된 연구는 대체에너지 및 태양열, 태양광, 바이오매스 등 각각의 기술에 대한 개발 보급 현황과 특수한 지역에 대한 타당성 검토 등의 연구가 주를 이루었다. 관련연구의 검토 결과는 신재생에너지 중에서 재생에너지 혹은 전체 에너지 공급과 수급의 문제 나아가 특정 분야의 공급능력 향상을 위한 대책 등에 중점을 두고 있고, 신재생에너지 기술개발 확대에 따른 관련 사업의 능력 증대나 사업화 측면의 심층연구는 아직 부족한 실정이라고 판단된다. 미국과 영국의 다양한 신재생에너지 개발 및 보급 지원정책 등은 우리나라도 유사하게 추진하고 있으며, 일본이 태양광 분야에서 주도적인 입장을 취할 정도로 전진한 배경은 정부주도지원, 기업참여, 사회적 이슈화 등을 들 수 있다. 신재생에너지 기술개발 및 사업화의 계량적 거시경제적 효과분석은 신재생에너지를 중심으로 하는 '에너지원별 비용/편익분석 모형'을 활용하여 신재생에너지 기술개발에 의한 관련 산업 생산 증대, 부가가치 향상 효과 등을 예측하는 기법을 적용한다. 신재생에너지 기술개발 투자와 신재생에너지 생산량 및 발전량의 관계는 각각 정비례하고, R&D총투자에 의한 신재생에너지 생산량 승수에 비해 에너지 발전량 승수가 상대적으로 약간 높았다. 이는 최종 소비재인 에너지 발전량에 대한 기술개발 영향이 크다는 의미이다. 신재생에너지 생산량에 대한 R&D총투자는 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있는데, 정부지원금은 정(+)의 영향이지만 민간투자액은 역(-)의 영향관계로 나타났다. 이는 신재생에너지 생산량에 대한 연구개발 효과가 민간투자 보다 정부지원금에 의해 주도되고 있음을 시사한다. 반면 신재생에너지 발전량에 대한 R&D총투자는 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있는데, 정부지원금과 민간투자 모두 영향관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 신재생에너지 분야의 발전량에 대한 연구개발 효과가 정부지원금과 민간투자 모두 영향을 미치고 있지 못하고 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구의 분석 결과의 시사점으로는 신재생에너지 기술개발 및 사업화 추진에 있어서 정부 지원정책도 중요하지만 민간의 투자와 적극적인 참여가 사업 성공의 관건이라는 점을 감안할 필요가 있다.

박막형 유기 태양전지의 효율 향상을 위하여 정공 수송층인 CuPc 층에 p형 유기 반도체인 rubrene을 함량 별로 도핑하여 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc: rubrene/CuPc:C60(blending ratio 1:1)/C60/BCP/Al의 이종접합구조를 가지는 p-i-n형 유기 박막형 태양전지 소자를 제조한 후, 유기 태양전지의 전류 밀도-전압(J-V) 특성, 단락 전류($J_{sc}$), 개방 전압($V_{oc}$), 충진 인자(fill factor:FF), 에너지 전환 효율(${\eta}_e$) 등을 측정하고 계산하여 성능 평가를 수행 하였다. 정공 수송층으로 사용된 CuPc 층에 rubrene을 도핑함으로써 에너지 흡수 스펙트럼에서 흡수 강도가 감소하였다. 그러나 CuPc 보다 큰 밴드갭을 가지며 높은 정공 이동도를 가지는 결정성 rubrene의 도핑에 의해 제조된 p-i-n형 유기 박막 태양전지의 성능은 향상 되는 것으로 확인되었다. 제조된 유기 태양전지의 에너지 전환 효율(${\eta}_e$)은 1.41%로 실리콘 태양전지와 비교해서 아직도 성능 향상을 위한 많은 노력이 필요함을 보여 준다.
