Syngas, also known as synthesis gas, synthetic gas, or producer gas, is a combustible gas mixture generated when organic material (biomass) is heated in a gasifier with a limited airflow at a high temperature and elevated pressure. The present research was aimed at modifying the existing LPG engine generator for fully operated syngas. During this study, the designed gasifier-powered woodchip biomass was used for syngas production to generate power. A 6.0 kW LPG engine generator was modified and tested for operation on syngas. In the experiments, syngas and LPG fuels were tested as test fuels. For syngas production, 3 kg of dry woodchips were fed and burnt into the designed downdraft gasifier. The gasifier was connected to a blower coupled with a slider to help the air supply and control the ignition. The convection cooling system was connected to the syngas flow pipe for cooling the hot produce gas and filtering the impurities. For engine modification, a customized T-shaped flexible air/fuel mixture control device was designed for adjusting the correct stoichiometric air-fuel ratio ranging between 1:1.1 and 1.3 to match the combustion needs of the engine. The composition of produced syngas was analyzed using a gas analyzer and its composition was; 13~15 %, 10.2~13 %, 4.1~4.5 %, and 11.9~14.6 % for CO, H₂, CH₄, and CO₂ respectively with a heating value range of 4.12~5.01 MJ/Nm³. The maximum peak power output generated from syngas and LPG was recorded using a clamp-on power meter and found to be 3,689 watts and 5,001 watts, respectively. The results found from the experiment show that the LPG engine generator operated on syngas can be adopted with a de-ration rate of 73.78 % compared to its regular operating fuel.

국제해사기구는 친환경규제로 2008년 대비 2050년까지 선박의 이산화탄소 배출량을 70%, 온실가스 배출량을 50% 줄이겠다는 목표를 세웠다. 선주 및 조선소에서는 이를 만족하기 위한 방법으로 LNG추진, 암모니아추진, 전기추진, CO₂포집, 샤프트 제너레이터 등 다양한 연구개발을 추진하고 있다. 이중 샤프트 제너레이터는 개조공사를 통해 기존선에 바로 적용가능한 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존선에 샤프트 제너레이터를 적용함으로 얻을 수 있는 총 연료 감소율을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다. 이를 위해, 중형선의 크기를 정의하고, 조속기, 디젤엔진, 프로펠러, 토크 스위치, 샤프트 제너레이터용 발전기와 추진전동기, 선박모델 등에 대해 모델링하고 시뮬레이션하였다.

일반적으로 실제 클러터 신호와 유사하도록 클러터 신호를 모의하려면 기존의 방법으로는 실시간 신호 생성이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 타당한 정확성을 가지면서 실시간으로 지면 클러터 신호를 생성하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안 방법들을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하였으며, 제안한 방법을 이용하면 항공기 레이다의 기능 및 성능 시험을 위한 모의신호발생기에서 클러터를 실시간으로 모의할 수 있음을 보였다.

As the competition in the manufacturing market for small and medium sized generators is intensifying, there is increasing pressure to reduce production cost. Manufacturing the generator stator windings with global vacuum pressure impregnation (GVPI) is a very effective way to reduce costs. However, the stator winding has a fatal disadvantage in that the insulation wears due to vibration in the slot. KEPRI (KEPCO Research Institute) conducted insulation diagnosis for three generators in KOMIPO (Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd.) which were manufactured by GVPI and operated for about 17 years. Insulation diagnosis showed that deterioration of insulation has progressed significantly. Therefore, KEPRI recommended replacing the stator windings of all three generators. In this paper, the insulation properties of the generator stator winding with global GVPI are described by comparing and analyzing the insulation diagnosis results and visual inspection for stator windings.

Nuclear power generation is increasing domestic power supply ratio by lower CO2 emission and fuel prices. Currently, nuclear power generator has been operated with maximum power output. Therefore, nuclear power generator could be no effect to managing the reactive power reserve on power system. The reactive power reserve is calculated to the difference between maximum facility and operation generation capacity of the power system. This paper was proposed that load following of nuclear power is control by using 15-bus power system model. In the simulation result, power system is shown to safety state by operating load following of nuclear power generator. This method has be improved the supplied reliability through economic and efficient operation.

본 논문에서는 W-대역 소형 레이다용 파형발생부를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제작된 파형발생부는 DDS를 적용하여 CW 및 FMCW 등 시스템에서 요구되는 다양한 파형을 고속으로 정밀하게 생성한다. 시스템 자체 점검으로 거리 지연 및 거리 추적 시험 시 별도의 점검장비 없이 레이다 자체만으로 시험이 가능하도록 LO 경로를 두 개로 설계하여 스위치를 통해 선택 가능하도록 구현하였다. 제안된 파형발생부는 대역폭 125 MHz, 위상잡음 1 kHz 오프셋(offset)에서 -91 dBc/Hz, 불요파 -63.2 dBc가 측정되었다. 본 논문에서 제시한 파형발생부를 이용하여 W-대역 소형 레이다용 송수신모듈에 바로 적용이 가능할 것으로 예상한다.

In this study, we suggested the wave power generator using horizontal motions of the wave for use in the coastal sea. The length of the horizontal movement of the wave in the vicinity of the sea surface is larger than the length of the vertical reciprocating movement of the wave, hence the proposed device has a wave power transmission plate. In addition, because the motion of the wave is maximum to the sea surface, by arranging the buoyancy tanks at the top of the wave power transmission plate, it is always capable of vertical movement in accordance with the sea surface. To confirm the usefulness of the proposed wave power generator, we constructed a mathematical model of the wave power generator and carried out simulation using bondgraph. Furthermore, the efficiency was verified by measuring the degree of electrical energy production through a preliminary experiment.

We analyzed the variations in the CO₂ concentration and temperature between a CO₂-enriched and control greenhouse. We cultivated Alstroemeria 'Hanhera' in the two greenhouses and assessed the growth parameters (stem length, stem thickness, and the number of flowers) and yield. The CO₂-enriched greenhouse had a CO₂ generator that produced CO₂ at rate of 0.36 kg/h and its windows were programmed to open when the temperature exceeded 20℃ and close when it dropped below 15℃. The control greenhouse had no additional CO₂ supplementation, and its windows were programmed to open when the temperature exceeded 20℃ and close at approximately 17:00. In the morning, CO₂ concentration remained above 500 ppm in the CO₂-enriched greenhouse, which was higher than that in the control greenhouse (approximately 370 ppm). The ventilation effect only through the side windows to reduce the temperature in both greenhouses did not appear dynamically. CO₂ supplementation promoted plant growth, resulting in a significant increase in plant yield of over 60% compared to that of the control greenhouse. Our findings suggest that elevated CO₂ concentration in the morning can significantly promote the growth and development of Alstroemeria during the winter.
