This paper addresses the bidding strategies of a hydro generator in an electricity market, and their effect on the electricity market in accordance with some parameters: the water volume, the demand elasticity, and the hydro unit performance. The competition of a hydro generator is formulated as a hi-level optimization problem, and the solving scheme for the equilibrium condition is proposed as a set of nonlinear simultaneous equations. The equilibrium of the oligopolistic model is evaluated by comparison with that of a perfect competition model from the viewpoint of a market power. Simulation results show some parameters have an influence on the market power of an electricity market including a hydro generator.

발전사업자는 한국전력거래소(KPX)의 급전지령을 원활히 수행하기 위해 EMS(Energy Management System) RTU를 설치하고 있다. 한국수자원공사는 수력발전소에 전기판넬 형식의 EMS RTU 대신 컴퓨터 기반의 가상(Virtual) EMS RTU를 설치하여 기존의 RTU방식에 비하여 설비 면적을 대폭 줄였으며, 설비 변동에 따른 감시제어 데이터의 수정시 하드웨어적인 작업을 소프트웨어적으로 간단하게 처리할 수 있다. 그래서 가상 EMS RTU는 발전통합운영시스템(GIOS)을 실시간으로 운영, 감시하여 장애를 신속히 복구함으로써 중앙급전소 발전기 원격운전 응답 특성을 향상시켜 전력계통의 안정적인 운영에 크게 기여하고 있다.

홍수조절과 용수공급을 우선순위로 갖는 다목적댐에서의 수력발전 설계는 발전전용 발전소, 수로식 발전소, 조정지식 발전소 및 양수식 발전소와는 에너지 잠재량을 산정하는 방식에서 다르다. 용수공급조건을 충족시키면서도 무효방류량을 최대한 유효저수량으로 활용하는 다목적댐의 경제적인 연간발전량을 산정하기 위해서는 단지SSR(Sequential Streamflow Routing) 방법을 이용하여 정확하게 수행될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 B댐의 소수력발전기 용량산정을 기존의 라우팅 방식과 SSR을 적용한 라우팅 방식으로 연간발전량을 비교 추정하여 보았다.

본 연구에서는 한국수자원공사 고압회전기 고정자권선 절연체의 진단데이터에 대한 통계적 분석연구에 관하여 설명하고 있다. 10년 이상 수집된 진단데이터를 사용하여 와이블 함수를 이용한 누적확률을 구하였으며, 그 결과로부터 각 진단항목에 대하여 형상모수와 절연상태를 판정하는 진단기준치를 제시하였다. 그 결과로 수력발전기의 대지간 전압에 대한 부분방전량의 기준값으로 10,000pC이하를 제시하였다.

Auto-synchonizer is important device to match the voltage, frequency, phase of the generating system to those factors of the transmission line, when the synchronous generator is operated. There were few or no incidents by Synchronization failure at Hapcheon hydraulic power plant, since it was built in 1989. but incidents by Synchronization failure have often happend lately. From now, let's improve the efficiency on the maintenance of generating equipment by studying about the cause and the method for this problem by comparing with the set point of each device of synchronizing system.

Our company(KOWACO) has periodically performed off-line diagnostic test for 14 hydro generators (rated 11 kV over) for 15 years. In this paper, we summarized results of dissipation factor tip-up test and partial discharge test about these generators. Among these, we chose two generators and performed insulation reinforcement (cleaning and varnish Painting). We compared change of insulation condition for the stator winding based upon off-line diagnostic test result before and after repair. Test result shows that insulation condition was improved after insulation reinforcement. This insulation reinforcement has a function to reduce cause of deterioration, so we can know that it extends lifetime of generator and it is a very important factor for stable operation of facilities.

During normal machine operation, partial discharge(PD) tests were performed with partial discharge analyzer(PDA) in two hydrogenerators. Six cable couplers were installed in circuit ring bus and endwinding of three phases. PDA showed that the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the partial discharge magnitude$(Q_m)$ were very low in hydrogenerator #1 and #2, respectively. The trend analyses of NQN and $Q_m$ value are available for monitoring of the insulation condition in hydrogenerator stator windings. The insulation condition of stator winding can be assessed. Discharge at conductor surface was discovered in B phase(C2 coupler) of hydrogenerator #1. Internal discharges were generated in A and C phases(C2 coupler) of hydrogenerator #1 and in A, Band C phases(C1 and C2 couplers) of hydrogenerator #2. Slot discharges occurred in A, Band C phases(C1 coupler) of hydrogenerator #1. The stator windings of two hydrogenerators were in good condition.

The test were performed to analyze the cause of endwinding breakdown of hydro-generator which had been in service after being constructed 1971. we conducted insulation diagnostic tests and checked visual inspection and operating condition of protective relays. On the basis of these test results, this paper tried to present the importance of service environment for the generator stator winding.

Today, the power utilities is setting on the slow load growth and the aging of power equipment, and then could spend the efforts on the stability of system performance. Asset management may be defined as the process of maximizing corporate profit by maximizing performance and minimizing cost over the entire life cycle of power equipment. Therefore, asset management is great way to fulfill the economic investment and the stability of system performance. This paper presents the application of effective asset managem ent from an economic perspective. A proposed method is considering the life cycle analysis using life cycle cost methodology for hydro-generator during the total life cycle. The life cycle cost methodology include a way to calculating maintenance and operating costs. The proposed method will be expected to play an important role in investment decision making considering economic evaluation.
