I-129 is one of the imporant nuclides that must be determined in the disposal process of radioactive waste in many countries. This radionuclide emits gamma-ray and x-ray photons within the energy range of 29 to 39 keV, consequently, an x-ray detector with high resolution performance is required for the analysis of I-129 activity. An n-type coaxial HPGe detector exhibits higher efficiency characteristics compared to a planar-type HPGe detector, however, its resolution is lower than a planar type. So it is difficult to completely deconvolute and fit the gamma-ray and xray peaks in the spectrum using a general gamma-ray spectrum analysis program such as GammaVision. To address this problem, in a previous study introduced the developed algorithm for the fitting and analysis of I-129 gamma-ray and x-ray spectum by fixing their emission ratios. In this study, we improved the algorithm by considering the variation of the efficiency in the HPGe spectrum, which reflects the actual HPGe crystal condition. And algorithm tests were performed using measured I-129 sample spectra with interfering nuclides acting as background curve are introduced.

OWEC의 성능은 발전 시스템은 특성상 파도의 파고와 주기의 영향을 받는다. 파도는 해양에 따라 파고, 주기, 파도 방향 등의 특성이 다르고 이러 한 파도의 다양한 특성 때문에 OWEC는 안정적인 전력을 생산하기 어렵다. 따라서 각 바다의 특성에 따른 OWEC의 적절한 형상에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 SPH(Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) 입자법을 사용하여 OWEC의 램프 설계가 hydraulic efficiency에 미치 는 영향을 확인했다. 총 10개의 모델을 설계하였으며, 선택된 매개변수에 따라 램프의 설계 파라미터를 선택하고 사면의 형상을 변경하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 해석 결과로부터 구한 유량을 기초로 hydraulic efficiency를 산출하였다. 계산된 hydraulic efficiency를 바탕으로 각 변수가 사면의 형상에 따른 월파 성능에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 특정 해역에 따른 OWEC 램프의 적절한 형상에 대한 방향을 제시하였다.

To improve ferroelectric properties of PZT, many studies have attempted to fabricate dense PZT films. The AD process has an advantage for forming dense ceramic films at room temperature without any additional heat treatment in low vacuum. Thick films coated by AD have a higher dielectric breakdown strength due to their higher density than those coated using conventional methods. To improve the breakdown strength, glass (SiO2-Al2O3-Y2O3, SAY) is mixed with PZT powder at various volume ratios (PZT-xSAY, x = 0, 5, 10 vol%) and coating films are produced on silicon wafers by AD method. Depending on the ratio of PZT to glass, dielectric breakdown strength and energy storage efficiency characteristics change. Mechanical impact in the AD process makes the SAY glass more viscous and fills the film densely. Compared to pure PZT film, PZT-SAY film shows an 87.5% increase in breakdown strength and a 35.3 % increase in energy storage efficiency.

정삼투 공정(forward osmosis, FO)은 역삼투 공정(reverse osmosis, RO)에 비해 저압으로 운영되므로 오염 제어, 유지 보수, 막 세정 및 잠재적 에너지 저감 측면에서 큰 이점이 있어 다양한 분야에 적용할 수 있는 기술이다. 특히, 정삼투 공정의 막오염층이 비교적 느슨하고 분산된 특성을 가지므로 역삼투 공정과 달리 물리세정만으로도 충분한 막오염 제어가 가능하다. 하지만 기존 연구들의 경우 정삼투 물리세정에 적합한 세정 유속을 적용하지 않아 최적화 운전을 하지 못했다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 경제적인 에너지량으로 높은 효율의 세정을 보일 수 있는 적절한 유속의 정당성 평가를 목적으로 한다. 정삼투 공정 막오염 실험을 8.54 cm/s 순환 유속으로 유지하고 세 가지 세정유속으로 회복률과 SEC(specific energy consumption) 비교 평가하였다. 이 실험의 결과로 2배속 세정이 3배속 세정의 수투과도 회복률 만큼의 높은 효율을 보 이는 동시에, 2배속 세정이 높은 세정효율 및 경제적인 SEC를 보이는 적절한 유속이라는 것을 확인하였다.

해수담수화는 지구 수자원의 97%에 해당하는 해수를 활용하기 때문에 물부족 문제를 해결할 지속가능한 대안으로 평가받고 있다. 최근에는 증발식 해수담수화 대비 에너지 소모가 낮은 분리막 방식이 널리 적용되고 있으며, 에너지 소모는 3-4 kWh/m3 정도이다. 해수담수화 플랜트 소요비용 중 운영비용이 약 35~65%를 차지하므로 해수담수화 기술의 확대 적용을 위해서는 비용 절감형 운영 기술 개발이 필수적이다. 이에 K-water에서는 ‘중동지역 맞춤형 저에너지 해수담수화플랜트 기술개발’ 과제 참여를 통해 저에너지⋅고효율 해수담수화 운영 기술을 개발하고 있으며, UAE에 구축될 1,000m3/d 규모 플랜트에 적용할 계획이다. 본 기술 적용을 통해 해수담수플랜트 연간 운영비용 증가율을 5% 이내로 유지하는 것을 목표로 한다.

Recently, interest in the development of alternative water resources has been increasing rapidly due to environmental pollution and depletion of water resources. In particular, seawater desalination has been attracting the most attention as alternative water resources. As seawater desalination consumes a large amount of energy due to high operating pressure, many researches have been conducted to improve energy efficiency such as energy recovery device (ERD). Consequently, this study aims to compare the energy efficiency of RO process according to ERD of isobaric type which is applied in scientific control pilot plant process of each 100 m3/day scale based on actual RO product water. As a result, it was confirmed that efficiency, mixing rate, and permeate conductivity were different depending on the size of the apparatus even though the same principle of the ERD was applied. It is believed that this is caused by the difference in cross-sectional area of the contacted portion for pressure transfer inside the ERD. Therefore, further study is needed to confirm the optimum conditions what is applicable to the actual process considering the correlation with other factors as well as the factors obtained from the previous experiments.

The Korean energy demand-supply policy has changed from supply-concentrated management to demand-concentrated management with low consumption and high efficiency. Given these policy changes, this study focuses on investigating the marketing strategies of public policies that are necessary to execute policy effectively and to achieve the intended effect. More specifically, this study reviews details pertaining to the four elements of energy demand management policy: the development and commercialization of core technologies for energy efficiency, energy saving business growth, innovations in energy demand management, and reasonable energy price policies. We furthermore analyze the effects of introducing an energy-efficiency certification system to both companies and consumers via an energy policy implementation. We find solutions to achieve the goals of the energy demand management policy via effective marketing of the energy-efficiency certification system. This investigation contributes to developing marketing strategies to achieve certain public policy effects. We additionally focus on how the characteristics of an energy-efficiency certification system—such as public benefits, brand trust and customer value—affect customer perception and the effect of policy implementation. According to our findings, trust in the energy-efficiency certification system and the four elements of energy policy influence firms and consumers’ realization and are effective at accomplishing the goals of the energy-efficiency policy. Energyefficiency certification help firms to invest in energy-efficient facilities; such certification also motivates reasonable energy consumption levels and the option to select highly energy-efficient products. By employing a certification system actively as a means of governmental policy and providing accurate energy-efficiency information to firms and consumers, it is possible for firms to produce highly energyefficient products and for consumers to choose efficient products. In this way, governments, firms, and consumers are able to accomplish the goals of the policy.

Energy demand is growing significantly in most countries and is expected to continue to expand—perhaps by 45% between now and 2030, and by more than 300% by the end of the century (Brown & Sovacool, 2012). Industry is generally the largest consumer of energy, currently consuming about 37% of the world’s total delivered energy, and the highest in energy-related CO2 emissions among the major sectors of energy use in an economy. Sadly enough, large amounts of energy consumed by industry are used inefficiently because of lack of awareness about proper energy management and weak energy policies and measures, among others. As a result, the industrial development across the world results in more energy use and leads to more concentration of greenhouse gases emissions. Hence, finding ways to increase energy efficiency in the industrial sector is highly important because the global climate and the region’s energy security depend on it. In this paper the efficiency trends of seven energy-intensive industries namely manufacturing, chemicals, electricity-gas and water supply, construction, mining and quarrying, machinery, and transport in 23 EU countries over the period 2000–2009 is analysed. The performance of the sectors is evaluated in terms of an input/output production framework described by capital stock, employment, total energy consumption, value added, and GHG emissions. On the methodological side, we use the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the relative efficiency of each industrial sector. DEA is a popular nonparametric efficiency analysis technique with many applications energy efficiency assessment (Sarica & Ilhan, 2007; Mukherjee, 2008; Azadeh, Amalnic, Ghaderi, & Asadzadeh, 2007). Given the panel nature of the considered data set, the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is used to assess the trends in energy efficiency over time and to distinguish between the effect of efficiency change and technical change. At the second stage of our analysis, we focus on the analysis of the relationship between the energy efficiency estimates and a set of explanatory factors related to the structural characteristics of considered sectors and the countries. For most sectors MPI has been higher than 1 in most years, thus indicating an improving trend. This trend appears to be stronger in chemicals, electricity, machinery, and mining. In fact, electricity and mining have improved steadily since 2003-04. On the other hand, construction and transport exhibit fluctuations, but in most cases their MPI has been lower than 1. The observed efficiency changes reflected in the MPI could be the result of changes in technical efficiency (efficiency change) and/or in the underlying production technology (technology change). It is evident that most sectors have been driven by technology change. Overall it is apparent that improvements due to efficiency change have been modest at best (e.g., no more than 5-10%), whereas improvements due to changes in the best practices (technology factor) have been significant in most of the sectors. This study’s results not only provide a general evaluation of the investigated industries, but also facilitate various interesting efficiency comparisons, with respect to factors that have the highest explanatory power. Taking into account the results of this study, policy makers could identify the main steps that should be followed to improve each industry’s energy efficiency. Furthermore, the significance of each step can be measured, leading to more informed decisions in terms of priorities given.
