Theoretical analysis for the thermal performance on the low-cost trickle collector, which is easy to manufacture and construct, has been performed. The results were in reasonably good agreement with those of the experiments. They have been applicable to predict long-term thermal performance on the low-cost solar collecting system. The dialogue type of computer program has been written based on the f-chart method and it can be used for designing a these collecting system, and investigating its economic feasibility.

Wind energy issued as most spotlight general energy by excellence of actuality as well as economical efficiency, solving environmental problem which caused by creating the energy and possibility of eternal production. Accordingly, government is at the stage of corresponding level by requesting development of new technology to the developed countries as a part of national key industries. The grievous situation from such a rapid movement is meteorological comprehension and assessment as well as the problem of estimation exactness about the wind. In this study, we use the regional meteorological station data, automatic weather station data and QuikSCAT SeaWinds data.

Since the solar radiation is the main input for sizing any solar photovoltaic system, it will be necessary to understand and evaluate the solar radiation data. The works presented here are the analysis of solar radiation data for East Asia areas. The data, which consist of the global radiation on horizontal surface, were measured at 16 different stations over the South Korea and were estimated by using satellite at 12 different stations over the North Korea from 1982 to 2004. Also the data over the Japan have been collected for 30 years for the period from 1941 to 1970. The Result of the analysis shows that the annual-average daily global radiation on the horizontal surface is 3.55 kWh/$m^2$. We conclude, based on the analysis, that East Asia areas have sufficient solar energy resources for the photovoltaic power generation system.

International Geothermal Association (IGA) and Geothermal Implementing Agreement (GIA) under Committee on Energy Research & Technology (CERT) of International Energy Agency (IEA) are the two major international organizations leading geothermal research, development and deployment (RD&D). IGA has been established in 1988 by geothermal societies in Europe and America and presently consists of 23 affiliated societies. Current number of members of IGA reaches 2,000 from 65 countries and its most important activity may be to organize the World Geothermal Congress (WGC) every five years. IEA-GIA has been established in 1993 and its executive committee (ExCo) consists of 11 countries, 1 organization (EC) and 3 sponsor companies. Korea became a member of ExCo on September 2005 through Korea Institute of Geoscience & Mineral Resources (KIGAM) as representative. KIGAM is also actively participating in Direct Use Annex through a task leader of several tasks.

One of the main problems concerning the shallow seismic survey is how to generate high frequency signals with large amplitudes using small seismic sources. If one could focus the seismic energy in the direction of the survey line, it will be much helpful in identifying the first break. In this research, we have used hammer as an impulsive source and compared the signal powers generated by different shapes of the hammer plates: circular, square, and rectangular. The experiment was conducted by calculating the power spectral density function to compare the frequency spectrum and signal power. In the direction perpendicular to the long side of the rectangular plate, the largest seismic energy with the highest frequency was achieved even with the same weights of hammer plates. Our conclusion is that it is more efficient to use a rectangular plate than a circular (or square) one when conducting a 2-D shallow seismic survey.

Energy industry is undergoing a paradigm shift in customer participation in the smartgrid. Customers traditionally consume electrical power. But nowadays not only do they generate electricity from private distributed generations, they can participate in demand response programs with their negawatt power which means a theoretical unit of power representing an amount of energy saved. Therefore development of decision-making criteria for electric load aggregation becomes a greater consideration as an amount of energy saved from demand response resources increases. This paper proposes load aggregators' decision-making criteria in the industrial sector where it made up the largest portion in demand response portfolio in order to assure reliability performance for demand response resources.

Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture(YKAP) possesses the potential to become the first testing ground for the North-East Asian Energy Cooperation in renewable energy sector. We found that production of biodiesel from rapeseed and CHP (Combined Heat and Power Plant) project utilizing abundant forest resources are the two main bioenergy development projects which may have further development potential considering the resource endowments and the focus of Chinese governments' current rural development policy. Provision of stable and transparent investment environments and the development of a close cooperation mechanism between Korea and China government are the prerequisite conditions for investments in the sector. Other international institutional agreements, such as CDM, shall be fully utilized for biomass CHP projects.

The daily soil water contents were obtained from the time domain reflectometry(TDR) method and energy balance-water budget approach with eddy correlation at the two small semiarid watersheds of Lucky Hills and Kendall during the summer rainy period. There was a comaprison of daily soil water content measured and estimated from these two different approaches. The comparison is valuable to evaluate the accuracy of current soil water content measuring system using TDR and energy balance-water budget approach using eddy correlation method at a small watershed scale. The degree of simiarity between the regressions of these two methods of measuring soil water content was explained by determining the correlations between these methods. Simple linear regression analyses showed that soil water content measured from TDR method was responsible for 58% and 63% of the variations estimated from energy balance-water budget approach with edy correlation at Lucky Hills and Kendall, respectively. The scatter plots and the regression analyses revealed that two different approaches for soil water content measurement at a small watershed scale have no significant difference.

The advent of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has led to their use in numerous applications. Sensors are autonomous in nature and are constrained by limited resources. Designing an autonomous topology with criteria for economic and energy conservation is considered a major goal in WSN. The proposed honey-hive clustering consumes minimum energy and resources with minimal transmission delay compared to the existing approaches. The honey-hive approach consists of two phases. The first phase is an Intra-Cluster Min-Max Discrepancy (ICMMD) analysis, which is based on the local honey-hive data gathering technique and the second phase is Inter-Cluster Frequency Matching (ICFM), which is based on the global optimal data aggregation. The proposed data aggregation mechanism increases the optimal connectivity range of the sensor node to a considerable degree for inter-cluster and intra-cluster coverage with an improved optimal energy conservation.
