The limitations and problems of the rechargeable battery and short mileage per one electric charging have not been overcome at the electric vehicles. To solve these problems, the hybrid vehicle has been developed by securing the performance of automotive with the conventional internal combustion engine and the environmental benefit. Meanwhile, the electric UTV (utility terrain vehicle) which has this environmental benefit has been widely used for factories, parks, leisure and agricultural areas. In this study, the electric UTV was fabricated and attached the auxiliary power drive systems including the photovoltaic power generation system into this electric vehicle in order to make up the hybrid (motor + photovoltaic) vehicle system. As the range of the hybrid UTV would be extended over 20% than that of the existing golf cart per one electric charging through this successful development, the dynamic stiffness was improved through light-weight body design.

In this study, a flat-type photocatalytic reactor is applied under solar irradiation for simultaneous treatment of target pollutants: reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and oxidation of EDCs (BPA, EE2, E2). An immobilized type of photocatalyst was fabricated to have self-grown nanotubes on its surface in order to overcome limitations of powdery photocatalyst. Moreover, Ti mesh form was chosen as substrate and modified to have both larger surface area and photocatalyst content. Ti mesh was anodized at 50V and 25°C for 30min in the mixed electrolytes (NH4F-H2O-C2H6O2) and annealed at 450°C for 2 hours in ambient oxygen to have anatase structure. Surface characterization was done with SEM and XRD methodologies. Fabricated NTT was applied to water treatment, and coexisting Cr(VI) and organics (EDCs) enhanced each other's reactions by scavenging holes and electrons and thus impeding recombination. Also, several experiments were conducted outdoor under direct sunlight and it was observed that both solar-tracking and applying modified photocatalyst were proven to enhance reaction efficiency.

제한되어 있는 자원으로 인해 최근 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 신재생에너지 중에서 도 특히 태양광 발전이 단순한 구조로 이루어져 있고, 위험성이 적어 타 재생에너지 시장보다 빠르게 성 장하고 있다. 따라서 태양광의 발전 효율을 성장시키는 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 태양광 발전은 태양 광 패널의 온도나 패널 표면의 먼지, 눈 등의 오염원에 따라 발전 효율에 영향을 미치지만, 태양전지를 개 발하거나 보완하는 연구가 대부분 이루어지고 있으며 기 개발된 패널의 발전 효율을 높이는 연구는 미비 한 실정이다. 하여 본 연구는 패널 표면의 오염원을 자동으로 청소해주는 클리닝 시스템을 개발하여 적용 유무에 따른 발전 효율을 비교 분석하였다. 2016년 1월 강설 시 테스트를 수행하여 발전 효율 분석한 결 과, 5분 단위로 최대 3.3% 증가하였고, 1시간 동안 약 1% 효율이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 패널 온도 는 클리닝 시스템 적용 유무에 관계없이 유사하게 나타났다. 발전 효율이 미미한 수치로 증가한 것은 적 설량이 적었기 때문인 것으로 유추된다. 향후에 많은 량의 강설 발생 시, 클리닝 시스템을 적용한다면 발 전 효율이 더 증가할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 이러한 결과에 따라 태양광 발전 시스템 시장에서도 필요한 요소로 성장할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

태양광 발전시스템은 태양복사에너지를 반도체의 광전효과를 이용하여 전기에너지로 직접 전환시키는 에너지변환 시스템이다. 태양전지의 내구성과 에너지변환율에 영향을 미치는 핵심소재로는 다층형 필름구조를 갖는 백시트를 들 수 있다. 대표적인 상용 백시트는 고내구성 poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF) 필름이 중심축에 위치하고 가격저감을 위해 도입된 poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) 필름이 그 양쪽에 접합된 삼층구조로 구성된다. 하지만, PVF 필름의 높은 가격은 저렴한 고내구성 백시트 를 요구하는 시장상황을 반영하기 어렵게 한다. 이를 위한 해결책으로는 PVF 필름을 결정성 PET 필름으로 대체한 탄화수소계 백시트가 될 수 있다. 하지만, PET 필름의 본질적인 가수분해에 대한 취약성으로 인해, 추가적인 수분에 대한 배리어성 부여 는 필수적이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 소수성 실리카 나노입자 분산기술을 활용한 수분차단성 폴리우레탄 접착제를 개발 코자 하였다. 개발된 접착제는 내부에 위치한 PET 필름으로의 수분침투를 약화시켜, 가수분해속도를 지연시킬 것이라 기대 되었다. 본 개념의 효용성을 확인하기 위해, 표준화된 온습도조건에 노출된 이후의 일반접착제와 수분차단성 접착제가 도입 된 백시트의 기계적 강도 및 시간당 태양전지성능 변화가 비교평가되었다.

태양광 패널로부터 출력을 최대로 얻기 위해서는 신뢰성이 높은 태양광 추적 장치가 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 LabVIEW 프로그램을 이용하여 퍼지 제어를 기반으로 구현한 2축 태양광 추적 장치 시스템을 제작하여 그 성능에 대해서 알아보았다. 태양광 패널의 움직임을 제어하기 위한 구현된 퍼지 의사결정 시스템의 사용자 인터페이스를 통하여 모든 파라미터를 제어하고 확인할 수 있는 지능제어기와 기계적인 구동부분의 설계가 연구의 중심이 되고 있다. 실제 태양광 추적시스템을 개발하여 환경, 날씨, 계절 및 빛 상태와 같은 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 태양광 추적장치는 실제 상황에서 시험하였고 시스템 동작과 관련된 모든 변수들은 기록되고 분석되었다. 제안한 태양광 추적시스템을 활용할 경우 고정식 패널에 비해 날씨에 따라 다르지만 최대 약 38% 정도의 더 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있어 자동으로 추적할 때 매우 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구에서 순천만 일대 새우 양식장 부근에서 이뤄지는 태양광 발전에 따른 소음영향평가방법을 진단하였다. 순천만 폐양식장에 태양광 발전시설이 설치되는 경우, 임계거리 17미터 이내에 위치한 새우양식장 S₂와 S₃(15미터 이격)은 소음에 대한 저감대책을 수립하지 않은 상태로 작업할 경우에는 악영향이 나타날 수 있다. 소음 스트레스를 감소시키기 위해 방음 판넬을 설치할 시, 본 연구에서 고려한 공사장비 최저효율(Case A), 일반효율(Case B), 최고효율(Case C)에 대한 수중소음 환경목표기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 건설 장비에서 발생되는 대기 소음이 수중으로 전파될 경우, 보다 합리적인 계산을 통해 수중 소음도 예측과 함께 주변 양식장에 미치는 누적 영향에 대한 심도 있는 평가 및 대책 수립이 필요하다.

As an alternative energy resource, the importance of renewable energy is continuously rising. Especially, growth rate of photovoltaic energy generation is one of the best. In this paper, floating PV generation system made of pultruded fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (PFRP) is discussed. It is well known that PFRP has many advantages such as high corrosion resistance, high specific strength/stiffness, etc. Compared with conventional construction materials. To investigate the structural behavior under flow induced dynamic loading, members and connections of members are tested under cyclic loading. It was found that the structural system is strong enough to resist such a cyclic loading.

The floating PV generation structure installed on the surface of water has been recently issued as a representative items for the low carbon and green growth campaign. Moreover, the studies and developments for the structure and construction improvements of floating PV generation structure have been in progress. For example, in the previous research, the floating PV generation structure consisted of pultruded FRP and SMC FRP members is suggested. In this study, we conduct the analytical and experimental studies for estimating the structural characteristics of SMC FRP vertical members. From the analytical and experimental results, it is found that SMC FRP vertical members used for floating PV generation structure have sufficient structural safety and stability.

Pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (PFRP) and FRP member manufactured by sheet molding compound (SMC) have superior mechanical and physical properties compared with those of conventional structural materials. Since FRP has an excellent corrosion-resistance and high specific strength and stiffness, the FRP material may be highly appreciated for the development of floating-type photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. In this paper, advanced floating PV generation system made of PFRP and SMC is designed. In the design, it includes tracking solar altitude by tilting photovoltaic arrays and tracking solar azimuth by spinning structures. Moreover, the results of the finite element analysis (FEA) are presented to confirm stability of entire structure under the external loads. Additionally, installation procedure and mooring systems in the Hap-Cheon Dam are discussed and the measurement of strain under the actual circumstances is conducted for assuring stability of actually installed structures. Finally, by comparison with allowable stress, appropriate safety of structure is confirmed to operate the system.
