  • To design the effective usage of electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) used for a storage device of dye sensitized solar cell(DSC) energy, we first investigated the accumulation state of electrical charges and the charge behavior in the EDLCs. Based on the results. the voltage characteristics of EDLCs connected to DSC energy were evaluated. The results showed that the charge accumulation region concentrated on central part of the carbonaceous electrode in EDLCs and the required times for charging and discharging were almost the same.

  • High internal phase emulsions are highly concentrated emulsion systems consisting of a large volume of dispersed phase above 0.74. The rheological properties of high internal phase water-in-oil emulsions were measured conducting steady shear, oscillatory shear and creep/recovery experiments. It was found that the yield stress is inversely proportional to the drop size with the exponent of values between 1 and 2. Since the oil phase contains monomeric species, microcellular foams can easily be prepared from high internal phase emulsions. In this study, the microcellular foams combining a couple of thickeners into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were investigated to understand the effect of viscosity ratio on cell size. Cell size variation on thickener concentration could be explained by a dimensional analysis between the capillary number and the viscosity ratio. Compression properties of foam are important end use properties in many practical applications. Crush strength and Young's modulus of microcellular foams polymerized from high internal phase emulsions were measured and compared from compression tests. Of the foams tested in this study, the foam prepared from the organoclay having reactive group as an oil phase thickener showed outstanding compression properties.

  • There are two main types of concentrating optical systems in use today: refractive types that use Fresnel lenses, and reflective systems that use one or more mirrors. Regardless of the chosen optical system, the result is concentrated sunlight being aimed at the sensitive face of the cell, to produce more energy from less photovoltaic material. In this paper, for the achieve trackerless CPV system, CPV module included that the spherical lens with reflect mirror makes it possible to achieve high and stable power generation performance for the high concentration photovoltaic power generation system and cope with the needs for a variety of shapes and sizes in flexible manners and that the multiple cavity assemble method greatly reduces costs. Development of these high performance multi-junction CPV module promises to accelerate growth in photovoltaic power generation.

  • The timing of poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) biosynthesis was controlled by varying the agitation speed of a stirred tank fermentor during the pH-stat fed-batch culture of recombinant Escherichia coli strain GCSC 6576 harboring pSYL107. Using a concentrated whey solution containing ca. 200 g/l lactose as the nutrient feed, the PHB content was only 57% after 35h due to volumetric limitation of the fermentor. However, by limiting the oxygen by maintaining the agitation speed at 300 rpm, the final PHB content increased to 70% after 70h with a cell concentration of 15 g/l. When the agitation speed was increased up to 500 rpm, a cell concentration of 31 g/l with 80% PHB was obtained after 52h. A further increase in the maximum agitation speed increased the cell concentration, PHB concentration, and PHB productivity, however, the PHB content decreased to 56-58%.

  • Recently advanced countries are making every effort to promote the efficiency of electric power production and supply, to deal with the environmental problems, and to develop the new energy. In particular, they are driving forward to develop various technologies for electric power in mid-long term, that are technology for building infrastructure of power transportation, establishing service network for account management using electronic technologies, elevating economic productivity by innovative electronic technologies, control-ling the discharge of global warming gas, using clean efficient energy, and so forth. However, power technology of Korea lagged behind than technology of advanced countries. Also, resources for developing power technology are limited in our country. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of R&D investment. For it, our country must compare and analyze with technologies of advanced countries which are taking competitive advantage in the main future energy. Through comparative analysis, limited R&D resources of our country must be concentrated on technologies that can secure competitive advantage from now on.

  • We tried to find the possibility of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell for photovoltaic concentrating system which is major cost portion for PV system using fresnel lens. With solar simulator and I-V curve tracer, we analyzed maximum output characteristics and measured the temperature of concentrated area using infrared camera. Because of temperature increase, there was no merit when concentrating. But at low radiant power, it showed more efficient operation. The combination of heat-sink technology and tracking system to our concentrating PV system would give better performance results.

  • Effects of xylose and glucose on the xylitol production were investigated with Candida parapsilosis KFCC 10875. With increasing the ratio of glucose to xylose, xylitol production decreased but ethanol and glycerol production increased. The maximum concentrations of ethanol and glycerol were 21.5 g/l and 3.6 g/l, respectively, in a medium consisting of 10 g/l xylose and 40 g/l glucose. No xylitol was formed in the glucose medium without xylose since xylitol could not be produced from glucose alone. The inhibitory effect of ethanol, a major by-product, on xylitol production was also studied. As the added ethanol concentration was increased, xylitol production decreased. When cells were inoculated in a xylose medium after removing the by-product (ethanol), xylitol production was not inhibited. The concentrated cells grown on xylose or glucose were inoculated in a fermentor containing the xylose medium. The total activities $(specific{\;}activities{\times}\;cell\;concentration)$ of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase in concentrated cells grown on glucose were the same as those in a normal fermentation; the specific activities of the above enzymes in the cells grown on xylose were the same as those in a normal fermentation. It indicates that the xylitol productivity of concentrated cells grown on xylose could be increased with increasing the cell concentration. By using concentrated cells of 20 g/l grown on xylose, the final xylitol concentration of 40 g/l was obtained for 18 h fermentation from 50 g/l xylose.

  • In order to achieve high capacity and reliable link quality in wireless communication, the significant efforts should be concentrated on mitigating interference between cells. To solve the interference problem, the newly introduced concept of a Distributed Wireless Communication System (DWCS) can provide the capability of joint control of the signals at multiple cells. This paper proposes a new concept of virtual cell: the Dual Virtual Cell (DVC), and also proposes DVC employment strategy based on DWCS network. The proposed system manages two kinds of virtual cell. One is the Active Virtual Cell which exists for user's actual data traffic and the other is the Candidate Virtual Cell which contains a set of candidate antennas to protect user's link quality from performance degradation or interruption. The proposed system constructs DVC by using antenna selection method. Also, for multi-user high-rate data transmission, the proposed system introduces multiple antenna technology to get a spatial and temporal diversity gam and exploits space-Time Trellis Codes known as STTC to increase a spectral efficiency.

  • Globally, the interest of renewable energy has become an upsurge. Especially, the solar industry is the one which is getting rapid growth rate. Many of researchers have been undertaking to improve the efficiency of solar cell to accomplish grid parity. The most of research has been concentrated on two methods, one on the selective emitter and the other is on LBSF (Local Back Surface Field) formation. Laser patterning will be needed to eliminate the thin film to form selective emitter and LBSF of solar cell. This paper reports some experimental results in laser patterning process for high-efficiency crystalline solar cell manufacturing. The experimental results indicate that the patterning quality depends on the average power and repetition rate of laser. The experimental results prove that the laser patterning process is an advantageous method to improve the efficiency of solar cell.
