In this study, the economic efficiency of ground source heat pump systems were analyzed by comparing with the performance of a conventional system which applied to an air-conditioner for cooling and a boiler for heating. The economic assessment was carried out by the method of life cycle cost and payback period. As a result, the operation cost of the ground source heat pump system was reduced by 18% for cooling and 50% for heating throughout the year. The ratio of life operation cost to life cycle cost increased with the increase of the system capacity. In addition, the payback period was analyzed less than 5 years when the capacity of the ground source heat pump system was more than 10 RT.

Ground source heat pumps are clean, energy-efficient and environment-friendly systems. Although the initial cost of ground source heat pump system is higher than that of air source heat pump, it is now widely accepted as an economical system since the installation cost can be returned within an short period of time due to its high efficiency. In the present study, performances of ground source compound hybrid heat pump system applied to a resort building are simulated. The system design and operation process appropriate for the surrounding circumstance guarantee the high benefit of the heat pump system applied to a resort building. If among several renewable energy sources, ground, river, sea, waste water source are chosen as available alternative energies are combined, COP of the system can be increased largely and hybrid heat pump system can reduced the fuel cost.

The objective of this paper is to assess the applicability of heat recovery at aerobic landfill as a geothermal heat source.This paper presents a case study of installing gas source heat recovery system at an aerobic landfill to collect landfillgas heat. The system consists of three subsystems, i.e., the air injection system including a biofilter, the heat pump systemand the thermal storage tank. A biofilter is necessary to remove the content of harmful compounds in the gas that entersthe heat pump. The field test results showed that temperature for landfill gas was increased slightly from 29 to 38oC inthe phase of aeration because of decomposition of organic carbon. The biofilter effectively treated CH4, H2S and NH3in the gas to prevent the corrosion of the heat pump. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump was 3.2,which means that 3.2kW of heat energy could be obtained by 1kW of electrical energy used for the heat pump. Thisstudy estimated the energy cost for the different heating systems. As a result, the heat pump can reduce the energy costby 75% compared with kerosene and diesel. Therefore, it is concluded that aerobic landfills are a suitable resource forheat recovery.

The whole world concentrates on the reduction of greenhouse gas to effectively cope with policy toward global climate change. To effectively react to climate change, even the agricultural sector requires construction of new farming systems that utilizes new and renewable energy because of rising oil prices and regulations for greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, we need to fuse the new and renewable energy with the horticulture sector of which the light and heat energy cost accounts for great part, moreover, efforts and researches should me done which can increase income of farmers through reducing carbon dioxide and energy cost in agricultural production expenses. Therefore, this study analyzes economic feasibility and applicability of fusing geothermal heat pump and solar power facilities with high-tech glass greenhouse. As a result, it is concluded that there surely are an applicability and economic feasibility if we apply new development system that can be an alternative for problems of securing premises of existing geothermal heat pump and the RPS system as a power generation company in case of solar power. Therefore, using this analysis data, if new empirical studies fusing and implementing agriculture sector with new and renewable energy fields proliferate and be applied to actual rural and agricultural field, it will increase actual income and will become a new advanced agricultural system that effectively deals with world-wide environmental problems.

We are now currently facing serious climate changes such as super typhoon, flood, intense heat, severe cold, super hurricane, drought, desertification, destruction of ecosystem, marine pollution, reduction of food production, destruction of tropical forests, exhaustion of water resources, climate refugees, etc. All of the above mainly derive from greenhouse gas exhaustion. Such harmful consequence might directly affect mankind’s sustainable development. If we keep using resources that emits greenhouse gases, the global temperature will rise about 3.2℃ by year 2050. In case of 3℃ rise in temperature, it will result in abnormal climate which will bring about severe property damage. Moreover, 20~50% of the ecosystem will become extinct. As Korea’s economy increasingly expands, so do our energy consumption rises. And because of the consequences that can be driven by increasing rate of resource use, not just Korea itself, but also the whole world should seriously concern about greenhouse gases. Although agricultural division only takes up about 3.2% of total greenhouse gas emission, the ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are taking voluntary actions to gradually reduce CO2 and so does each and every related organizations. In order to reduce CO2, introduction of new and renewable energy in farm house warming is crucial. In other words, implementing wood-pellet boiler and geothermal heat boiler can largly reduce CO2 emission compared to diesel boiler. More importantly, not only wood-pellet and geothermal heat is pollution-free but they also have economic advantages somewhat. In this thesis, the economic advantage and sustainablity will be introduced and proved through comparing practical analysis of surveyed farm house under structure employing wood-pellet boiler and geothermal heat boiler with Agriculture-Economic Statistic of 2012 who uses diesel boiler.

The world has recognized the shortage of energy resources. New and renewable energy development is the focus of much research and investment, and the world is trying to reduce carbon emissions. In November 2009, the Korean government announce a greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 30% by 2020. In this study, an underground heat exchanger was installed on the underside of the smart deep tunnel. The heat energy was calculated using the TOE conversion table from the Korea energy management corporation. Moreover, It is proposed to install heat exchanger in smart deep tunnel through reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and analyzing economic effects of carbon dioxide emissions reductions.

Twenty-two water samples(fifteen groundwater and seven geothermal water samples) were collected to elucidate chemical characteristics of the ground and geothermal waters in the Haeundae hot-spring area and its vicinity. Major and minor elements were analyzed for ground and geothermal water samples. The concentrations of K-, Na-, Ca2+, SO42-, Cl-, F+ and SiO2 were higher in the geothermal water samples than the groundwater samples except HCO3 and Mg2+ ions. Based on the contents of Fe, Zn, Cu, Al, Mn and Pb, some of the ground and geothermal water samples are contaminated by anthropogenic sources. The ground waters shown on the Piper diagram belong to Ca-HCO3 type, while the geothermal waters Na-Cl type. The graphs of Cl- versus Na+, Ca2+ Mg2+, K-, SO42- and HCO3- indicate that the groundwater is related partly with mineral-water reaction and partly with anthropogenic contamination, while the geothermal water is related with saline water. On the phase stability diagram, groundwater and thermal water mostly fall in the field of stability of kaolinite. This indicates that the ground and geothermal waters proceed with forming kaolinite. Factor and correlation analyses were carried out to simplify the physicochemical data into grouping some factors and to find interaction between them. Based on the Na-K, Na-K-Ca and Na-K-Ca-Mg geothermometers and silica geothermometers, the geothermal reservoir is estimated to have equilibrium temperature between 125℃ and 160℃.

Spring, ground and thermal waters in the vicinity of Mt. Geumjeong and Mt. Baekyang area have been sampled and analyzed for major and minor elements. According to the Piper diagram, spring water belongs to Ca-HCO3 and Na-HCO3 types, groundwater to Ca-HCO3 type, and thermal water to Na-Cl type. Based on the phase stability diagrams of [Ca2+]/[H+]2, [Mg2+]/[H+]2, [K+]/[H+], and [Na+]/[H+] vs. [H4SiO4], spring water, groundwater and thermal water are mostly in equilibrium with kaolinite. The result of factor analysis shows three factors (factor 1, 2 and factor 3) for the spring water, the groundwater and the thermal water which are represented by the influence of the dissolution of feldspar, calcite, anthropogenic sources (domestic and industrial wastes) and salt water.
