This study focuses on analyzing the energy-saving effects of the recirculation aquaculture system using seawater source heat pumps and solar power generation. Based on the thermal load analysis conducted using the transient system simulation tool, the annual energy consumption of the recirculation aquaculture system was analyzed and the energy-saving effects of utilizing the photovoltaic system was evaluated. When analyzing the heat load, the sea areas where the fish farms are located, the type of breeding tank, and the circulation rate of breeding water were taken into consideration. In addition, a method for determining the appropriate capacity for each operation time was examined when applying the energy storage system instead of the existing diesel generator as an emergency power, which is required to maintain the water temperature of breeding water during power outage. The results suggest that, among the four seas considered, Jeju should be estimated to achieve the highest energy-saving performance using the solar power generation, with approximately 45% energy savings.

부유식 해상태양광 설비는 패널 지지를 위한 프레임 구조물, 구조체의 부력 제공을 위한 부유체와 전체 시스템의 거동을 제한하는 계류시설로 구성되어 있다. 계류시설은 구조물의 지지조건으로서의 역 할을 통해 안정적인 발전량 수급에 기여한다. 하지만 해당 시스템은 설치된 해상환경 특성상 계류선의 파단 및 손상 시 직접적인 탐지가 불가능해 유지관리에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 패널지 지 프레임 구조체에 가속도 센서 부착을 가정하여, 해당 센서 계측값을 토대로 계류설비에서 발생한 파단 및 손상이 발생한 위치를 추정하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 알고리즘은 비지도학습 인공지능의 일종인 오토인코더를 활용하여 가속도 계측값의 재현 과정을 통해 정상상태의 구조 응답을 학습한 모 델이 비정상상태의 계측값을 재현 시 발생한 오차를 통해 손상 발생 여부와 위치를 실시간 탐지하도 록 구성하였다. 정상상태 구조응답을 기반으로 한 모델의 학습을 위해 패널지지 구조체를 10x10 격자 형으로 결합한 다중 결합 시스템에 불규칙파랑을 환경하중으로 적용함을 통해 발생한 6자유도 가속도 데이터를 확보하였다. 계류시설의 손상 발생 시 주된 변화 인자 탐지를 위해 상관성 분석과 민감도 분 석을 실시하여 손상 위치 추정 알고리즘에 적용할 주요 인자를 선별하여 학습 및 추정 성능에 대한 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 구축된 알고리즘의 테스트를 위해 총 5개 종 손상 케이스 데이터셋을 구축하 여 손상 위치 추정 성능을 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통해 계류 시설에 발생한 손상 여부 및 위치를 추정 하여 부유식 해상태양광 설비의 선제적 유지관리에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The government is implementing a policy to expand eco-friendly energy as a power source. However, the output of new and renewable energy is not constant. It is difficult to stably adjust the power supply to the power demand in the power system. Therefore, the government predicts day-ahead the amount of renewable energy generation to cope with the output volatility caused by the expansion of renewable energy. It is a system that pays a settlement amount if it transitions within a certain error rate the next day. In this paper, Machine Learning was used to study the prediction of power generation within the error rate.

For the Floating Photovoltaic development project, economic analysis is conducted by predicting the amount of power generation in consideration of climate factors. Among the climate factors, the outside temperature increases the temperature of the module. As a result, the efficiency of the module is reduced. Due to global warming, the outside temperature is rising every year, when estimating the amount of power generation over the next 20 years, a more accurate prediction will be possible only when considering the temperature rise.

PURPOSES : Safety Evaluation of Wind Loads of Renewable Energy and Photovoltaic Power Structures. METHODS : Structural safety evaluation was conducted on the wind load of 3kW Photovoltaic Power Structures using ABAQUS. Wind speed was reviewed for 36m/s and 60m/s. Effective Mass and Mass Contribution of Photovoltaic Power Structures was utilized up to 90%. 7 steps were set and applied to structural analysis. RESULTS : As a result of the structural analysis, it was confirmed that the long-term blowing load was affected rather than the size of the wind load. Weak areas were identified at the point of the horizontal beam rather than the modules of the Photovoltaic Power Structures. In particular, it was confirmed that stress exceeding the allowable stress was generated at the junction. In order to secure the safety of Photovoltaic Power Structures, it is judged that reinforcement of the branch is necessary. CONCLUSIONS : The safety of Photovoltaic Power Structures structures for wind load is influenced by persistence rather than the size of the wind load. Therefore, in order to prevent this, it is judged that reinforcement of the branch is necessary.

Currently, yellow phosphor of Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) fluorescent material is applied to a 450~480nm blue LED light source to implement a white LED device and it has a simple structure, can obtain sufficient luminance, and is economical. However, in this method, in terms of spectrum analysis, it is difficult to mass-produce white LEDs having the same color coordinates due to color separation cause by the wide wavelength gap between blue and yellow band. There is a disadvantage that it is difficult to control optical properties such as color stability and color rendering. In addition, this method does not emit purple light in the range of 380 to 420nm, so it is white without purple color that can not implement the spectrum of the entire visible light spectrum as like sunlight. Because of this, it is difficult to implement a color rendering index(CRI) of 90 or higher, and natural light characteristics such as sunlight can not be expected. For this, need for a method of implementing sunlight with one LED by using a method of combining phosphors with one light source, rather than a method of combining red, blue, and yellow LEDs. Using this method, the characteristics of an artificial sunlight LED device with a spectrum similar to that of sunlight were demonstrated by implementing LED devices of various color temperatures with high color rendering by injecting phosphors into a 405nm deep blue LED light source. In order to find the spectrum closest to sunlight, different combinations of phosphors were repeatedly fabricated and tested. In addition, reliability and mass productivity were verified through temperature and humidity tests and ink penetration tests.

Numerous studies have attempted to predict the energy output of solar-powered vehicles based on different parameters such as road conditions, driver characteristics, and weather. However, since these studies were conducted on stationary vehicles, they are limited in their accuracy when applied to driving vehicles. This study aimed to improve the accuracy of electric power prediction for a solar-powered bus by applying a technique that improves energy efficiency without affecting driving performance. A comparative analysis of power generation and solar irradiance data was conducted for the bus driven on different roads to forecast its power generation, and a high-accuracy power generation prediction equation was derived. A comparison with actual test results revealed that a power generation forecast accuracy of at least 90% was achieved, validating the equation used for forecasting. With this power generation prediction process, it is possible to forecast the amount of energy generated in advance when a solar bus is operated in a specific area.

This study analyzes the effects of the number of angles and bends on resistance in a conductor-embroidered stitch circuit for efficient power transfer through a conductor of wearable energy harvesting to study changes in power lost through connection with actual solar panels. In this study, the angle of the conductive stitch circuit was designed in units of 30°, from 30° to 180°, and the resistance was measured using an analog Discovery 2 device. The measured resistance value was analyzed, and in the section of the angle where the resistance value rapidly changes, it was measured again and analyzed in units of 5°. Following this, from the results of the analysis, the angle at which the tension was applied to the stitch converges was analyzed, and the resistance was measured again by varying the number of bends of the stitch at the given angle. The resistance decreases as the angle of the stitch decreases and the number of bends increases, and the conductor embroidery stitch can reduce the loss of power by 1.61 times relative to general embroidery. These results suggest that the stitching of embroidery has a significant effect on the power transfer in the transmission through the conductors of wearable energy harvesting. These results indicate the need for a follow-up study to develop a conductor circuit design technology that compares and analyzes various types of stitches, such as curved stitches, and the number of conductors, so that wearable energy harvesting can be more efficiently produced and stored.

Agrophotovoltaic (APV) system is an integrated system producing crops as well as solar energy. Because crop production underneath Photovoltaic (PV) modules requires delicate management of crops, smart farming equipment such as real-time remote monitoring sensors (e.g., soil moisture sensors) and micro-climate monitoring sensors (e.g., thermometers and irradiance sensors) is installed in the APV system. This study aims at introducing a decision support system (DSS) for smart farming in an APV system. The proposed DSS is devised to provide a mobile application service, satellite image processing, real-time data monitoring, and performance estimation. Particularly, the real-time monitoring data is used as an input of the DSS system for performance estimation of an APV system in terms of production yields of crops and monetary benefit so that a data-driven function is implemented in the proposed system. The proposed DSS is validated with field data collected from an actual APV system at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services in South Korea. As a result, farmers and engineers enable to efficiently produce solar energy without causing harmful impact on regular crop production underneath PV modules. In addition, the proposed system will contribute to enhancement of the smart farming technology in the field of agriculture.

영농형 태양광 발전은 농경지에서 작물을 생산함과 동시에 식물이 요구하는 광포화점 이상의 광을 이용하여 전기를 생산 하는 시스템이다. 새로운 농가 소득원의 개발을 위하여 포도 원에 태양광 패널을 설치하고 수체의 생육과 과실 발육 특성 을 평가하여 영농형 태양광의 활용성을 탐색하고 향후 재배기 술을 개발하는 데 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 연구를 진행하였 다. 152 × 68 × 3.5cm 크기의 구조물에 영농형 150Wp (36cell) 모듈을 포도나무 재식열에 따라 배치하고, 과원의 환경과 식물 생육을 분석하였다. 무처리에는 겨울철 풍속이 0.4－0.6m·s-1 에 도달하였으나, 시설 설치구에서는 0.01－0.02m·s-1에 머 물렀다. 삽수 수피의 탄수화물함량은 시설 설치구에서 183－ 184m·g-1으로 무처리구(181－198mg·g-1)에 비해 큰 차이가 없으며 삽수의 발아율도 큰 차이가 없었다. 잎의 엽록소의 함 량은 처리구에서 높게 나타났다. 수확후 과실의 특성으로는 과립중, 과방중, 당도, 과피색의 차이는 없었다. 다만 시설구 에서 숙기가 5－7일정도 늦어졌으며, 변색기의 착색에는 약 간 차이가 있었다. 영농형 태양광 패널을 설치한 과원에서 포 도나무와 과실의 발육은 유의차가 없었고, 설치구에서 착색 이 지연되었다. 이러한 결과는 향후 포도원에서 영농형 태양 광 시설을 설치하여 포도를 생산하는 기술 개발에 필요한 정 보로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

국내에서는 ‘태양광 발전 사업‘을 지원하여 태양광 발전소를 늘려나가고 있다. 태양광 발전기는 옥외에 있어 바람에 직접적 으로 노출되어있기 때문에 태풍과 같은 강풍에 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 최근 태풍의 강도와 빈도가 증가하면서 이에 따른 피해가 증가하 고 있다. 태양광 발전기는 유지 관리 및 보수 작업의 용이성 때문에 동서방향으로 배치한 태양광 어레이들 좌우 사이에 이격거리를 두 고 설치된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동서방향 이격거리를 변수로 특정하여 태양광 어레이에 작용하는 풍압분포와 피크순압력계수를 산출하였다. 이를 위해 이격거리를 0.3m, 0.5m, 1.0m로 선정하여 풍압실험을 진행하였다. 모든 변수에서 어레이의 양측 상부 모서리에 서는 상방향, 하부 모서리에서는 하방향의 피크순압력계수가 지배적이었다. 어레이 내단부에서는 상방향과 하방향의 피크순압력계수 가 이격거리 0.3m일 때 가장 크게 나왔으나, 외단부보다 전체적으로는 값이 작았다. 어레이 좌우 이격거리에 대한 내단부에서의 수속 효과보다 외단부에서 생긴 와로 인한 피크순압력계수가 크게 나타났기 때문에 외단부에 대한 안전성을 더 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
