Sponge ball cleaning can generate an abrasion effect, which leads to an attractive increasing in both permeate flux and membrane rejection. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the daily sponge ball cleaning (SBC) on the performance of different UF cross-flow membrane modules integrated with a bioreactor. Two 1"-membrane modules and one 1/2"-membrane module were tested. The parameters measured and controlled are temperature, pH, viscosity, particle size, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total suspended solids (TSS), and permeate flux. The permeate flux could be improved by 60%, for some modules, after 11 days of daily sponge ball cleaning at a transmembrane pressure of 350 kPa and a flow velocity of 4 m/s. Rejection values of all tested modules were improved by 10%. The highest permeate flux of 195 L/㎡.h was achieved using a 1"-membrane module with the aid of its negatively charged membrane material and the daily sponge ball cleaning. In addition, the enhancement in the permeate flux caused by daily sponge ball cleaning improved the energy specific demand for all tested modules. The negatively charged membrane showed the lowest energy specific demand of 1.31 kWh/㎥ in combination with the highest flux, which is a very competitive result.

정확한 전력수요 예측은 에너지 소비를 줄이고 전력수급의 불균형을 방지한다. 본 연구는 외부요인의 영향을 가장 적게 받는 특정 시간대의 일 단위 전력 수요량을 참조선 (reference line)으로 한 시계열모형을 세우고자 한다. 고려된 시계열모형은 슬라이딩 창을 이용한 이중 계절성 Holt-Winters 모형과 TBATS 모형이다. 시계열모형의 모수는 2009년 1월 4일부터 2011년 12월 31일까지 자료를 이용하여 추정되었으며, 2012년 1월 1일부터 2012년 12월 29일까지의 각 모형의 전력수요량을 예측하여 성능을 비교하였다. RMSE와 MAPE를 통해 예측 성능을 비교한 결과 TBATS 모형의 성능이 우수하였다.

본 연구에서는 기존 열수요 예측 시스템이 공휴일과 같은 특정 일자의 열수요 예측율이 저하되는 문제점을 개선하기 위해 새로운 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 사계절 혼합형 신경망 모델(Four Season Mixed Heat Demand Prediction Neural Network Model)로서 열수요 예측율 상승하였고, 특히 예측일 유형별(평일/주말/공휴일) 열수요 예측율이 크게 증가하였다. 제안된 모델은 다음과 같은 과정을 통해 선정되었다. 특정 계절에 예측일 유형별로 고른 오차를 갖는 모델을 선정하여 전체 예측 모델을 구성한다. 학습 시간의 단축과 과도학습을 방지하기 위해 구조적으로 단순화된 서로 다른 4개의 모델을 각각 학습한 후에 다양한 조합을 통해 최적의 예측 오차를 보여주는 모델을 선정하였다. 모델의 출력은 예측일의 24시간의 시간대별 열수요이며 총합은 일일 총열수요이다. 이 예측값을 통해 효율적인 열공급 계획을 수립 할 수 있으며, 목적에 따라 출력값을 선택하여 활용할 수 있다. 제안된 모델의 일일 열 총수요 예측의 경우, 전체 MAPE(Mean Absolute Percentage Error, 평균 절대 비율 오차)가 개별 모델의 5.3~6.1%에서 5.2%로 향상되었고, 공휴일 열수요예측은 4.9~7.9%에서 2.9%로 크게 개선되었다. 본 연구에서는 한국 지역난방공사에서 제공한 특정 아파트 단지의 34개월 분량의(2015년 1월~ 2017년10월) 시간단위 열수요 데이터를 활용하였다.

Increasing demand of energy, the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, energy security and the climate change have forced us to look upon alternate energy resources. For today's electric vehicles that run on lithium-ion batteries, one of the biggest downsides is the limited range between recharging. Over the past several years, researchers have been working on lithium-air battery. These batteries could significantly increase the range of electric vehicles due to their high energy density, which could theoretically be equal to the energy density of gasoline. Li-air batteries are potentially viable ultra-high energy density chemical power sources, which could potentially offer specific energies up to 3000 $Whkg^{-1}$ being rechargeable. This paper provides a review on Lithium air battery as alternate energy resource for the future.

Electrical sintering of the front electrode for crystalline silicon solar cells was performed applying a constant DC current to the printed lines. Conducting lines were printed on glass substrate by a drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printer and silver nanoparticle ink. Specific resistance and microstructure of sintered silver lines and were measured with varying DC current. To find the relation between temperature increase with changing applied current and specific resistance, temperature elevation was also calculated. Sintering process finished within a few milliseconds. Increasing applied DC current, specific resistance decreased and grain size increased after sintering. Achieved minimum specific resistance is approximately 1.7 times higher than specific resistance of the bulk silver.

To set the estimated energy requirement (EER) in Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans (KDRI), we need the coefficient by physical activity stage, as determined by the physical activity level(PAL). Thus, there has been demand for a tool to calculate PAL based on the physical activity diary. This study was undertaken to develop a physical activity (PA) classification table for Koreans, using the 2011 Compendium of physical activities in the United States. The PA classification table for Koreans contains 262 codes, and values of the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) for specific activities. Of these, 243 PAs which do not have Korean specific data or information, were selected from the 2011 Compendium of PAs that originated in the United States; another 19 PAs were selected from the previous research data of Koreans. The PA classification table is codified to facilitate the selection of energy values corresponding to each PA. The code for each PA consists of a single letter alphabet (activity category) and four numeric codes that display the activity type (2 digit number), activity intensity (1 digit number), and specific activities (1 digit number). In addition, the intensity (sedentary behavior, low, middle and high) of specific PA and its rate of energy expenditure in MET are presented together. The activity categories are divided into 4 areas: Daily Activity (A), Movement (B), Occupation (C), and Exercise and Sports (D). The developed PA classification table can be applied to quantify the energy cost of PA for adults in research or practice, and to assess energy expenditure and physical activity levels based on self-reported PA.

Energy consumption in Korea and Japan has already progressed to high level. Especially, it will be important to take up the effort to achieve further energy savings in residential sector that has significant increase both nations. For this reason, research for energy consumption and saving method in residential sector compare Korea with Japan that of similar data to grasps the direction for energy savings. In addition for introduction of distributed energy system to residential sector, such as apartment house, the electricity and gas demand was simulated. To be more specific, several key characteristics were studied, such as housing type housing scale and width of common space.

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.

With the increasing demand of environmentally clean machining in recent years, the use of coolants has been restricted extensively. In this paper, a multiple comparison method(Tukey's HSD method) is proposed to choose the optimum level of coolant necessary for an efficient and environmentally clean machining. The cutting temperature, specific cutting energy, and surface roughness in turning process are analysed by ANOVA(Analysis Of Variance) and Tukey's HSD method. From the experimental results and statistical analysis, it is found that the optimum condition of coolant level is 10 ml/min with 6% mix ratio, which is almost half of the commonly used level.
