This study presents computational analyses for low-drag aerodynamic design that are applied to modify a long-endurance UAV. EAV-2 is a test-bed for a hybrid electric power system (fuel cell and solar cell) that was developed by the Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) for use in future long-endurance UAVs. The computational investigation focuses on designing a wing with a reduced drag since this is the main contributor of the aerodynamic drag. The airfoil and wing aspect ratio of the least drag are defined, the fuselage configuration is modified, and raked wingtips are implemented to further reduce the profile and induced drag of EAV-2. The results indicate that the total drag was reduced by 54% relative to EAV-1, which was a small-sized version that was previously developed. In addition, static stabilities can be achieved in the longitudinal and lateral-directional by this low-drag configuration. A long-endurance flight test of 22 hours proves that the low-drag design for EAV-2 is effective and that the average power consumption is lower than the objective cruise powerof 200 Watts.

본 논문은 PWM(Pulse width Modulation)전압형 인버어터를 사용하여 전원차단 경우나 전압변동 및 부하변동에 의한 출력전류 변화에도 일정한 출력전압을 유지하는 무정전 전원장치에 대해 논하였다. 본 시스템은 전압형 인버어터를 교류전원과 동기시켜 운전하고 정상상태에서는 전원으로부터 운전하고 정상상태에서는 전원으로부터 직류측에 연결된 축전지를 태양전지를 이용한 광기전력효과와 함께 일정전압을 충전하며, 전원의 차단, 전원의 전압변동 및 부하전류의 변화에도 일정한 전압을 유지하도록 하였다. 출력은 PWM방식에 의하여 양호한 파형이 되도록 하고 전원차단과 부하의 상태의 변화 및 전원 전압 변동에도 일정한 전압으로 출력됨을 실험을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.

Solar cells have been more intensely studied as part of the effort to find alternatives to fossil fuels as power sources. The progression of the first two generations of solar cells has seen a sacrifice of higher efficiency for more economic use of materials. The use of a single junction makes both these types of cells lose power in two major ways: by the non-absorption of incident light of energy below the band gap; and by the dissipation by heat loss of light energy in excess of the band gap. Therefore, multi junction solar cells have been proposed as a solution to this problem. However, the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ generation solar cells have efficiency limits because a photon makes just one electron-hole pair. Fabrication of all-silicon tandem cells using an Si quantum dot superlattice structure (QD SLS) is one possible suggestion. In this study, an $SiO_x$ matrix system was investigated and analyzed for potential use as an all-silicon multi-junction solar cell. Si quantum dots with a super lattice structure (Si QD SLS) were prepared by alternating deposition of Si rich oxide (SRO; $SiO_x$ (x = 0.8, 1.12)) and $SiO_2$ layers using RF magnetron co-sputtering and subsequent annealing at temperatures between 800 and $1,100^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen ambient. Annealing temperatures and times affected the formation of Si QDs in the SRO film. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that nanocrystalline Si QDs started to precipitate after annealing at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for one hour. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images clearly showed SRO/$SiO_2$ SLS and Si QDs formation in each 4, 6, and 8 nm SRO layer after annealing at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for two hours. The systematic investigation of precipitation behavior of Si QDs in $SiO_2$ matrices is presented.

In this paper, we compose of the utility phovoltaic system with the stepdown chopper and the current source inverter to reduce pulsation of dc current and dc reactor. We study that control several ways(twice frequency of utility voltage square pulse and without the chopper) of chopper part. Therefore if voltage across the dc reactor equal to zero, it is decreased. And we control modulation factor of the chopper to operate at maximum power point around of solar cell.

본 논문은 브이용 PV 시스템 성능과 최대전력점추적기의 알고리즘에 대하여 기술하고자 한다 현재 운영되고 있는 브이는 대부분 태양광을 활용한 독립형 전력 시스템을 이용하고 있다. 이러한 태양광 전력 시스템은 직류 출력 특성을 가지고 있으며 직류 버스와 연결된다. 태양광 전지판의 I-V 출력 특성은 일사량, 전지판의 온도에 따라 변화하며 태양광 전지 마다 그 특성이 각기 다르게 나타나기 때문에 태양광 전지는 최대전력추적방식의 알고리즘에 의해 운영되어야 한다. 이에 본 논문은 태양광 전지의 특성, 최대전력추적방식, 태양광 전지판의 최적경사각을 논의하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 최근 들어 본격적인 연구개발이 활성화되고 있는 무선 데이터 통신서비스를 근간으로 한 미세 정보 감시 시스템(RMIMS : radio interfaced micro information monitoring system or MICROS: micro information and communication remote object-oriented system)에 대한 QoS(quality of service)를 보장하는 새로운 움직이는 기지국(MMBS: moving mobile base station) 서비스 방법을 제안하였다. 미세정보 감시시스템은 독립된 전원 장치 형태로 감시 대상 지역에 영구적으로 혹은 반 영구적으로 배치되므로 매우 저 전력의 시스템 요구 사항을 가진다. 또한 이동서이 작고, 비교적 비 실시간 트래픽 특성과 터미널의 배치 영역에 비해 터미널 수가 작은 특성을 가진다. 상향링크(uplink) 방향의 전송거리가 작고, 특정 일부 지역에 환경오염감시, 안전감시, 재난감시, 군사적인 목적 등 응용서비스에 따라 배치되는 RMIMS 터미널을 서비스하기 위해서는 기존의 셀룰라 망에서 사용되는 고정위치 기지국 방식은 경제성 및 실현성을 제공할 수 없다. 이러한 경우에 RMIMS 터미널들에 대한 정보 수집 데이터 망 (network) 서비스를 위하여 이중 무선 인 股嶽決?dual wireless network interface)을 가지면서 IS-MMBS(in-service MMBS), BS-MMBS(background scanning MMBS)를 사용하는 서비스 구조를 통하여 RMIMS 터미널들에 QoS를 보장하는 무선 데이터 서비스를 제공하는 방법 및 절차들을 제안하였다.

This study evaluated the influence of temperature on the PV module surface on power output characteristics, especially for an amorphous transparent thin-film PV module which was applied to a full-scale mock-up model as building integrated photovoltaic system. The tested mock-up consisted of various slopes of PV module, facing to the south. The annual average temperature of the module installed with the slope of $30^{\circ}$ revealed $43.1^{\circ}C$, resulting in $7^{\circ}C$ higher than that measured in PV modules with the slope of $0^{\circ}$and $90^{\circ}$ did. This $30^{\circ}$ inclined PV module also showed the highest power output of 28.5W (measured at 2 PM) than other two modules having the power output of 20.4W and 14.9W in the same time for $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ in the slope, respectively. In case of the $30^{\circ}$ inclined PV module, it exhibited very uniform distribution of power output generation even under the higher temperature on the module surface. Consequently, the surface temperature of the PV module analyzed in this study resulted in 0.22% reduction in power output in every $1^{\circ}C$ increase of the module surface temperature.

Anaerobic digestion sludge was cultivated in an electrochemical bioreactor (ECB) to enrich the hydrogenotrophic methanogens. A modified graphite felt cathode with neutral red (NR-cathode) was charged with electrochemical reducing power generated from a solar cell. The methane and carbon dioxide collected in a Teflon bag from the ECB were more than 80 ml/l of reactant/day and less than 20 ml/l of reactant/day, respectively, whereas the methane and carbon dioxide collected from a conventional bioreactor (CB) was around 40 ml/l of reactant/day, respectively. Moreover, the maximal volume ratios of methane to carbon dioxide (M/C ratio) collected in the Teflon bag from the ECB and CB were 7 and 1, respectively. The most predominant methanogens isolated from the CB on the $20^{th}$, $80^{th}$, and $150^{th}$ days of incubation were hydrogenotrophs. The methanogenic diversity analyzed by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) of the 16S rDNA variable region was higher in the ECB than in the CB. The DNA extracted from the TGGE bands was more than 95% homologous with hydrogenotrophic methanogens in the ECB, but was an aceticlastic methanogen in the CB. In conclusion, the ECB was demonstrated as a useful system for enriching hydrogenotrophic methanogens and increasing the M/C ratio of the gas product.

This study is to propose the quantitative methods instead of total results on New & Renewable energy R&D investments. To do that, this study used KETEP R&D investment profile, National R&D investment profile, and ISTANS industrial census results. From the analysis, this study firstly showed that the R&D investment on New&Renewable energy is higher than that of other industrial parts. And the investment increase ratio on New&Renewable energy is also very higher during past 10 years. And finally showed that the ripple effects(relatively the employee number, the amount of sales, and the amount of export) of the focus energy group including feul cell, photovoltaic, and wind power was higher than those of general manufacturing industry. This approach was firstly conducted using the poor census results, so other analysis methods will be developed and performed to exact;y show the investment ripple effect.
