In recent years, the power demand has been increasing steadily and the occurrence of maximum power demand has been moving from the summer season to the winter season in Korea. And since the control of electric power supply and demand is more important under those situations, a micro-grid system began to emerge as a keyword for the sTable operation of electric power system. A micro-gird power system is composed of various kinds of distributed generators(DG) such as small diesel generator, wind turbine, photo-voltaic generator and energy storage system(ESS). This paper introduces a method to determine the optimal capacities of the distributed generators which are installed in a stand-alone type of microgrid power system based on the fundamental proportion of diesel generator. At first, the fundamental proportion of diesel generator will be determined by changing from 0 to 50 percent. And then we will optimize the capacities of renewable energy resources and ESS according to load patterns. Lastly, after recalculating the capacity of ESS with consideration for SOC constraints, the optimal capacities of distributed generators will be decided.

Due to the rapidly diminishing energy sources and higher energy production cost, the interest in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been increasing dramatically in recent years. A typical DSSC is constructed of wide band gap semiconductor electrode such as $TiO_2$ or ZnO that are anchored by light-harvesting sensitizer dyes and surrounded by a liquid electrolyte with a iodide ion/triiodide ion redox couple. DSSCs based on one-dimensional nano-structures, such as ZnO nanorods, have been recently attracting increasing attention due to their excellent electrical conductivity, high optical transmittance, diverse and abundant configurations, direct band gap, absence of toxicity, large exiton binding energy, etc. However, solar-to-electrical conversion performances of DSSCs composed of ZnO n-type photo electrode compared with that of $TiO_2$ are not satisfactory. An important reason for the low photovoltaic performance is the dissolution of $Zn^{2+}$ by the adsorption of acidic dye followed by the formation of agglomerates with dye molecules which could block the I-diffusion pathway into the dye molecule on the ZnO surface. In this paper, we prepared the DSSC with the ZnO electrode using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method under low temperature condition (< $100^{\circ}C$). It was demonstrated that the ZnO seed layers played an important role on the formation of the ZnO nanostructures using CBD. To achieve truly low-temperature growth of the ZnO nanostructures on the substrates, a two-step method was developed and optimized in the present work. Firstly, ZnO seed layer was prepared on the FTO substrate through the spin-coating method. Secondly, the deposited ZnO seed substrate was immersed into an aqueous solution of 0.25M zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 0.25M hexamethylenetetramine at $90^{\circ}C$ for hydrothermal reaction several times.

Artemisia princes var. orientalis의 수용성 추출물이 식품, 화장품, 의약품 등의 항균제로 이용될 수 있는지에 대해 연구 하였다. 순수한 물을 이용한 추출물에서는 항균성을 찾기 힘들었고, 쑥의 줄기와 잎 부분에서 메탄올로 추출한 후 물로 추출한 물이 Staphylococcus aureus에 대해서 항균성을 크게 나타냈으며, 잎이 줄기 부분보다 더 큰 항균성을 나타냄을 확인했다. 항균성을 갖는 물질을 밝혀내기 위해 쑥의 주된 항균 성분이라 알려진 caffeic acid와 비교 실험을 하였다. UV 특성곡선에서 caffeic acid와 유사한 phenolic compound의 profiling은 확인할 수 있었으나 caffeic acid의 disc diffusion method를 이용한 실험에서는 항균능력을 나타내지 않았다. 물질규명을 위해 추출물을 세 부분으로 분획 하였고, 이 중에서 Staphylococcus aureus에 대해 항균성은 UK 2에서 크게 나타났다. 본 연구는 Artemisia princeps var. orientalis 의 메탄올 후 물 추출물이 항균제로써의 가능성을 알아봄으로써 식품 또는 화장품의 보존료나 항균제의 이용성이 있음을 충분히 확인하였다.

광합성 미생물을 이용하여 $CO_2$를 항산화성 카로티노이드를 다량 함유하고 있는 바이오매스로 전환하는 새로운 방법의 생물학적 $CO_2$ 저감 기술이 제시되었다. 본 연구에서 담수 녹색 미세 조류인 Haematococcus pluvialis가 광합성 미생물로 사용되었으며, 이 균주는 녹색의 성장 세포에서 적색의 포낭 세포로 전환될 때 2차 카로티노이드인 astaxanthin을 세포 내에 다량 축적하는 것으로 알려졌다. 균주의 이러한 특성을 이용하여 $CO_2$가 연속적으로 공급되는 광 반응기에서 자가 영양 배양 방식으로 $CO_2$ 고정화 및 그것을 통한 astaxanthin 생산 연구가 수행되었다. 녹색 성장 세포의 성장은 5％ $CO_2$ 공급 환경 및 기본 NIES-C 배지에서 최대로 이루어졌다. 적색 포낭 세포로 효과적인 전환을 위해 5％ $CO_2$ 주입과 강한 빛 조사로 이루어진 자가 영양 유도법을 적용하였으며, 이 공정을 통해 $9.6mg/L{\cdot}day$의 astaxanthin 생산성을 획득하였다. 이때 astaxanthin으로 전환되는 $CO_2$의 균주 내 고정화 속도는 $27.8mg/L{\cdot}day$로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 H. pluvialis를 이용한 자가 영양 배양, 유도 공정은 $CO_2$ 고정화뿐만 아니라 고부가 생리 물질 생산기능을 겸비하여 새로운 $CO_2$ 저감기술로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

수산 자숙액의 조사 여부를 판별하기 위해 물리적(PSL, TL) 및 화학적(hydrocarbon 분석) 검지 시험을 진행하였다. 10 kGy까지의 감마선 조사를 적용한 자숙액을 PSL법으로 측정하였을 때, 모든 자숙액에서 260~510의 photon counts를 나타내어 자숙액의 방사선조사 여부의 확인 방법으로서 PSL은 적용 가능성이 낮다고 사료되었다. 수산 자숙액에 TL법을 적용한 결과 톳 및 문어 자숙액의 경우 방사선 조사한 자숙액에서 150~250$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 특정한 glow curve가 나타났으므로 방사선조사 여부를 확인하는데 적용이 가능할 것이라고 사료된다. 참치 자숙액의 경우 감마선조사에 의해 유래되는 hydrocarbon은 검출되지 않았는데, 이는 참치 가공에서 부산물로 얻어지는 자숙액의 낮은 지방산 함량과 자숙 공정에 따른 상이한 지방산 조성에서 비롯한 것이라고 사료된다.

In this study, we deposited and investigated ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin films prepared by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(PECVD) system. To deposition silicon thin films, we controlled $SiH_4$ gas concentration, RF input power, and heater temperature. According to the experiments, the more $SiH_4$ gas concentration increased, deposition rate also increased but crystalline property decreased at the same conditions. In the RF input power case, deposition rate and crystalline property increased together when the input power increased from 100[W] to 300[W]. If RF input power was 300[W], deposition rate has reached saturation point. In the heater temperature, deposition rate increased when heater temperature increased. Crystalline property maintained a certain level until heater temperature was $250[^{\circ}C]$. And then it was a suddenly increased. Multistep method has been proposed to improve the quality of ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin film. $SiH_4$ gas was injected with a time interval. According to the experiments, crystallite ratio improve about 20~60[%] and photo conductivity increased up to six times.

A Sn-doped $In_2O_3$ (ITO) nanowire photoelectrode was produced using a simple metal evaporation method at low synthesis temperature (< $540^{\circ}C$). The nanowire electrodes have large surface area compared with that of flat ITO thin film, and show low electrical resistivity of $5.6{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ at room temperature. In order to apply ITO nanowires to the photoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), those surfaces were modified by $TiO_2$ nanoparticles using a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The conversion efficiency of the fabricated $TiO_2$/ITO nanostructure-based DSSC was obtained at 1.4%, which was increased value by a factor of 6 than one without ITO nanowires photoelectrode. This result is attributed to the large surface area and superior electrical property of the ITO nanowires photoelectrode, as well as the structural advantages, including short diffusion length of photo-induced electrons, of the fabricated $TiO_2$/ITO nanostructure-based DSSC.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with Pd and $TiO_2$ composite catalysts were synthesized by the sol-gel method followed by solvothermal treatment at low temperature. The chemical composition and surface structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Photocatalytic recycle degradation experiments were carried out under both UV and visible light irradiation in the presence of MWCNT/$TiO_2$ and Pd-MWCNT/$TiO_2$ composites. As expected, the nanosized Pd-MWCNT/$TiO_2$ photocatalysts had enhanced activity over the non Pd treated MWCNT/$TiO_2$ material in the degradation of a rhodamine B (Rh.B) solution. An increase in photocatalytic activity was observed and attributed to an increase in the photo-absorption effect by MWCNTs and the cooperative effect of Pd and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. According to the recycled results, the as-prepared Pd-MWCNT/$TiO_2$ sample had a good effect on it.

Aluminum-oxide($Al_2O_3$) thin films were deposited by electron cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition at room temperature using trimethylaluminum(TMA) as the Al source and $O_2$ plasma as the oxidant. In order to compare our results with those obtained using the conventional thermal ALD method, $Al_2O_3$ films were also deposited with TMA and $H_2O$ as reactants at $280^{\circ}C$. The chemical composition and microstructure of the as-deposited $Al_2O_3$ films were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photo-electric spectroscopy(XPS), atomic force microscopy(AFM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Optical properties of the $Al_2O_3$ films were characterized using UV-vis and ellipsometry measurements. Electrical properties were characterized by capacitance-frequency and current-voltage measurements. Using the ECR method, a growth rate of 0.18 nm/cycle was achieved, which is much higher than the growth rate of 0.14 nm/cycle obtained using thermal ALD. Excellent dielectric and insulating properties were demonstrated for both $Al_2O_3$ films.

We developed nano-porous $TiO_2-SiO_2$ composites (commercial name : PTI, porous titania insulator) with low thermal conductivity as thermal insulating material as well as function of photocatalyst. The objectives of this paper are, firstly, to evaluate of the thermal conductivity of the PTI powder in the temperature range from -160 to $250^{\circ}C$, secondly to evaluate of thermal conductivities of insulation materials that is applied PTI powder. The structure of the PTI powder that has the pores size of 20-30 nm and the particle diameter of 2-10 nm. The PTI had a high surface area of $400m^2/g$ and a mean pore size of $45{\AA}$, which was fairly uniform. The thermal conductivity was measured by GHP(guarded hot plate) method and HFM(heat flux method). The PTI structure is a three-dimensional network nano-structures composed by a pearl-necklace that involved a precious stone in the center of the necklace. The thermal conductivities of PTI-PX powder by the GHP and HFM were 0.0366 W/m.K, 0.0314 W/m.K at $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. This is similar to values that are proportional to the square of the absolute temperature of the thermal conductivity of static air. The thermal conductivities of insulating sheets coated with PTI powder were similar results with that of the PTI powder.
