  • 본 실험에서는 태양광의 photon energy를 활용한 물분해 수소제조 연구를 위하여 일차적으로 $TiO_2$ 광전극의 제조와 함께 전기화학적 특성관찰의 기초실험을 수행하였다. $TiO_2$ anatase 분말을 원형으로 molding 한 후 $1250^{\circ}C$에서 sintering하여 n형 반도체 전극을 제조하였으며, titanium plate를 직접 funace내에서 $800^{\circ}C$의 공기 및 산소 분위기 속에서 각각 산화막을 생성시켰다. 각 전극들의 XRD pattern을 관찰한 결과 rutile $TiO_2$ 성질의 표면구조를 지니고 있었으며, 표면상태를 광학 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 선택된 $TiO_2$ 전극의 전기적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 두가지 농도의 NaOH electrolyser내에서, dark상태 그리고 Xenon lamp를 활용한 illuminated상태에 대하여 각각의 I-E 특성을 Potentiostat을 이동하여 관찰분석하였다.

  • 전기와 천연가스와 같이 안정적이며 신뢰할 수 있는 에너지를 현대 사회가 요구하기 때문에 재생에너지와 화석연료의 장점들을 모두 보유하고 있는 다양한 방식의 태양열 하이브리드 공정들이 세계 각국에서 개발되고 있다. 특히 고체 입자에 태양열을 저장하는 유동층 기반의 태양열 하이브리드 공정은 기존의 유동층 연소 및 가스화에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대받고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ASTM D5757 반응기와 0.14 m의 직경과 2 m 높이의 유동층 반응기를 이용하여 태양열 하이브리드 공정의 유동층물질로서 검토되고 있는 실리콘 카바이드, 알루미나 입자들의 마모 및 열전달 특성을 고찰하였다. 특히 다양한 상업 유동층 반응기에서 유동층물질로 이용되는 모래와 비교하였다. 실리콘카바이드와 알루미나의 내마모성은 모래보다 우수하였으며 평균 열전달 계수도 125 ~ 152 W m-2K-1 범위를 가지는 것으로 고찰되었다.

  • In this paper, we reported the current technologies of water scaling removal and also water recovery from the flue gases, which are funded by Department of Energy (DOE), USA. Globally, water resources are limited due to the climate change. The potential impacts of climate change is food and water shortages. In the $21^{st}$ century, water shortages and pollution are expected to become more acute as populations grow and concentrate in cities. At present, the water stress increases over 62.0 ~ 75.8% of total water basin area and decreases over 19.7 ~ 29.0%. Many renewable energy sources demand secure water resources. Water is critical for successful climate change mitigation, as many efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions depend on reliable access to water resources. Water hardness is one of the major challenge to coal power plants. Department of energy (DOE) funded and encouraged for the development of advanced technologies for the removal of hardness of water (scaling) and also water recovery from the flue gases from coal power plants.

  • This paper describes the resource assessment of theoretical potential of ocean energy including tidal current energy, tidal range energy, wave energy and ocean thermal energy in Korea to provide reliable basis for feasible development plan of ocean energy. Because of different characteristics of each ocean energy resources, the resource assessment methods were established considering characteristics of each ocean energy resources. The coastal region of Korea has been divided into 10 regions. The results show that tidal current energy is abundant in Incheon-Gyunggi and Jeollanam-do and tidal range energy is abundant in Incheon-Gyunggi. And wave energy is abundant in Jeollanam-do, Jeju and Gyeongsangbuk-do and there is ocean thermal energy in Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do.

  • The world is moving towards a post-carbon society and needs clean and renewable energy for sustainable development. There are many methodological approaches which are helping this shift based on analyzed data about energy resources and which focus on limited types of energy including liquid fossil, solid fossil, gaseous fossil, and biomass (e.g. IPCC Guidelines, ISO 14064-1, WRI Protocol, etc.). We should also consider environmental impact (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, water use, etc.) and the economic cost of the renewable energy to make a better decision. Recently, researchers have addressed the environmental impact of new technologies which include photovoltaics, wind turbines, hydroelectric power, and biofuel. In this work, we analyze the environmental impact with a carbon emission factor to present a correlation between $CO_2$ emission and the cost of energy resources standardized by the energy output. In addition, we reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as another methodology. Researchers who are studying energy systems have ignored the impacts of entire energy systems, e.g. the extraction and processing of fossil fuels. In power sector, the assessment should include extraction, processing, and transportation of fuels, building of power plants, production of electricity, and waste disposal. Therefore LCA could be more suitable tool for energy cost and environmental impact estimation.

  • Distributed energy resources (DERs) are essential for coping with growing multiple energy demands. A microgrid (MG) is a small-scale version of the power system which makes possible the integration of DERs as well as achieving maximum demand-side management utilization. Hence, this study focuses on the analysis of optimal power dispatch considering economic aspects in a multi-carrier microgrid (MCMG) with price-responsive loads. This paper proposes a novel time-based demand-side management in order to reshape the load curve, as well as preventing the excessive use of energy in peak hours. In conventional studies, energy consumption is optimized from the perspective of each infrastructure user without considering the interactions. Here, the interaction of energy system infrastructures is considered in the presence of energy storage systems (ESSs), small-scale energy resources (SSERs), and responsive loads. Simulations are performed using GAMS (General Algebraic modeling system) to model MCMG, which are connected to the electricity, natural gas, and district heat networks for supplying multiple energy demands. Results show that the simultaneous operation of various energy carriers, as well as utilization of price-responsive loads, lead to better MCMG performance and decrease operating costs for smart distribution grids. This model is examined on a typical MCMG, and the effectiveness of the proposed model is proven.

  • Currently, the global atmosphere around the world is altering at a very rapid pace. Among those changes, some are beneficial, but most of the changes are lead to destruction to our planet. The area of environmental science is a significant resource for learning more about these changes. Due to the urbanization, the human population is increasing, natural resources becoming very limited. To solve the limited resources issues, recycling is absolutely an alternative source for the new demands and limitations. Recycling education is very important to raise awareness among students and their communities about the need for recycling and what materials are recyclable locally. In this paper, we reported the role of sustainability science and technology and the impact of recycling research education in the middle schools, both in developing countries and Asian countries and also we included the brief data of global recycling of waste.
