Pukyong National University Student Wins 'Special Prize' in Energy Optimization Design Competition

Jimin Hong, a master's student in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Pukyong National University, received a special award at the 1st Energy Optimization Design Competition.

Jimin Hong submitted a work titled "Design of a Solar Power Generation System and Energy Storage Device for a Parking Tower" to this competition hosted by the Korean Solar Energy Society and won an award.

This design work demonstrated the operational efficiency of a parking tower equipped with an Energy Storage System (ESS) through energy optimization design simulation, earning recognition for its originality and creativity in the renewable energy sector.

In this project, he created a 3D model of the Pukyong National University campus to determine the size and arrangement of solar panels to avoid shadow effects, designed a parking tower equipped with an energy storage device, and conducted energy simulations.

The simulation results showed that the designed parking tower could produce 278,112 kWh of electricity annually, enough to charge up to 6,850 electric vehicles with a battery capacity of 58 kW per year. It also reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 132,965 kg.

This competition was held to promote ideas for energy-saving design technologies in buildings through energy optimization design and green building design, aiming to lead the development of the green building industry and achieve national carbon reduction goals.
