Technology developed by School of Chemical Engineering Jung Jae-hak to be transferred to Hanyeolnuri
Technology transfer fee 150 million won... Solving solar power quality issue and constructing optimal management system
Never before applied in the world... Expected to enhance market value
[June 15, 2018]
YU (President Sur Gil-soo) will transfer solar power technologies, which is a core next-generation industry, to a company.
At 2 p.m. on the 14th, YU signed a technology transfer MOU with Hanyeolnuri (CEO Kwon Taek-jo), which is a company specializing in renewable energy located in Chungbuk. The technologies that will be transferred include three patented technologies related to solar energy possessed by YU including the ‘independent solar power generation control device and control method’ developed by YU School of Chemical Engineering Professor Jung Jae-hak. With this contract, YU will receive a technology transfer fee of 150 million won.
The technology that YU transferred allows smooth power use and management using a battery instead of the solar power generation system that depends on sunlight. Furthermore, as it can predict the time of power usage and module replacement time through the module reliability evaluation system that applied semiconductor simulation technologies, it is possible to construct the optimal management system for solar power modules.
The independent solar power generation system that applies this technology can solve the inconsistent power quality issue depending on the always changing sunlight and it can also cut down on maintenance costs as the battery life was extended by 10-20%. This technology was never before applied in the world so it is expected to have very high market value.
In order to apply this technology in domestic and foreign solar power generators, YU and Hanyeolnuri is planning to construct a performance evaluation system and optimal control system by next year and is scheduled to apply it as the standard system for domestic and foreign solar power generators beginning construction in 2020.
YU President Sur Gil-soo said, “The outstanding technologies and researchers of YU are now being recognized by companies.” He added, “YU will take the initiative in creating future growth-engines through industry-academic cooperation in various fields.”
