The hydraulic performances of a Francis turbine which had been designed and tested by IMHEF were calculated with a commercial code and compared with the IMHEF test results. The non-dimensional specific speed of the turbine is 0.5, the runner exit diameter 0.4m and maximum efficiency 93.1% respectively. To make the calculation of the turbine more exact, the stay vanes, the guide vane, the runner and the draft tube were calculated simultaneously. The calculation results gave a quite good agreement with the IMHEF test data, and therefore it is expected that the present calculation technique will be utilized for the hydraulic design of efficient Francis turbines.

Performance test was conducted for an oxidizer pump and a fuel pump for a 7 ton class rocket engine, by using water. The pumps were driven by an electric motor. The hydrodynamic performance and the suction performance were measured at flow ratio of the design and off-design conditions. Head-flow curve, efficiency-flow curve, and head-cavitation number curve were obtained. It is confirmed that the pumps can satisfy the design requirements of hydrodynamic performance in terms of the head and the efficiency. The pumps also satisfied the design requirements of suction performance.

Recently, water resources and energy policies such as integrated water management and carbon neutrality are changing rapidly. There is an opinion that the value of hydropower reservoirs related to these policies should be re-evaluated. In the past, they have contributed to flood control in addition to electricity generation, such as operating at a limited water level during the flood season, but loss of power generation is inevitable with this operation. Therefore, this study introduced the concept of resilience to the hydropower generation system to minimize the power loss. A framework for evaluating the power generation performance of them was presented by defining the maximization of electricity sales as performance. Based on the current procedure of multiple operation plan, a scenario was established and simulation was performed using HEC-5. As a result of applying to the framework, it was confirmed that the power generation performance according to each scenario was evaluated as an important factor. And it was confirmed that the performance of flood control and water use could also be evaluated.

It is very difficult to accurately calculate efficiency of each accessory device constituting the pump system and pump efficiency by the Conventional efficiency measurement method only. Therefore, this study introduced the lastest Thermodynamic pump efficiency measurement method in the district heating pump system for the first time in Korea. As a result, data uncertainty was high by the Conventional method, but the pump and Hydraulic Coupling efficiency values applied the Thermodynamic and Conventional method parallel measurement data were able to derive meaningful results that verified the reliability and adequancy of the pump performance measurement method by performing complementary roles. In additon, as a result of applying the Thermodynamic method to the distirct heating pump system, despite the high temperature environment of up to 120 ℃, it was possible to verify the reliability of the Thermodynamic method, such as high stable data mesurement, and durability of the measurement equipment.

발전용댐의 댐 유입량 예측 및 운영을 위해서 (주)한국수력원자력에서는 수자원통합 운영시스템(Water resources Integrated System, WIOS)을 운영 중에 있다. 해당 시스템에서는 댐 유입량을 예측하기 위해서 기상청 수치예보모델 중 하나인 국지예보모델(Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System, LDAPS)의 예측강우를 수문모형의 입력자료로 활용하고 있으며, 레이더 기반의 초단시간 강우예측 기법을 자체 개발 중에 있다. 기상청 국지예보모델은 강우의 on/off에 대한 정확도는 90%를 상회할 만큼 높으나 정량적인 강우량의 정확도는 매우 낮고, 레이더 기반의 초단시간 예측 강우는 선행 1~2시간 예측에서는 정량적 정확도는 높으나, 그 이후 예측성능이 급격히 떨어지는 경향을 보인다. 따라서 댐 유입량의 정량적 예측 정확도를 확보하기 위해 초단시간 모델과 국지예보모델의 강우예측 결과를 병합(blending)하는 기법을 적용하여 초기 6시간 동안의 예측 성능을 향상시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 선행시간 0~6시간에 대해서 병합하는 기법들을 적용하고 평가하고자 한다. 기본적으로 병합은 초단시간 예측강우와 수치예보자료 간 가중치를 통해 수행된다. 일반적으로 초기 1시간 선행시간에서 레이더 기반 예측강우는 완벽한 예측자료(외삽 관측자료의 가중치는 1.0)로 가정하며, tanh 함수를 이용하여 선행시간의 증가에 따라 가중치를 감소시키면서, 6시간 선행시간에서는 수치예보 예측강우가 완벽한 예측자료라고 가정한다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 병합 방법 외에 병합된 예측강우에 과거 관측강우와 예측강우의 평균편이를 적용하여 보정하는 방법, 사례별 변동성이 큰 병합된 예측강우 특성을 고려하여 병합 가중치를 신뢰도에 따라 가변시키는 방법을 적용하여 평가한다. 이를 통해 댐 유입량 예측에 최적이 되는 병합기법을 선정하고자 한다.

The variable demand on the energy market, as well as the limited energy storage capabilities, requires a great flexibility in operating hydraulic turbines. But, present in Korea, the absence of testing laboratories and technical criteria for the performance test of small hydropower degrades the efficiency of the domestic hydropower machines, A performance guarantees for hydro turbines shall be contain, as a minimum, guarantees covering power, discharge and specific hydraulic energy, efficiency, maximum momentary overspeed and maximum momentary pressure and/or maximum steady-state runaway speed, as well as guarantees related to cavitation. Performance test are conducted by the test standard. Test codes based on extensive research data are written under the leadership of an IEC. Performance evaluation is carry out several test(performance test, cavitation test and runaway test). The paper presents the international turbine test laboratory and performance test standard.

The Francis type hydro turbine with vertical axis has been designed and analized for hydraulic performance verification. The guide vane angle of turbine casing were designed to be varied according to the condition of head and flowrate. When the changes in flowrate and output were comparatively large, the efficiency drop were small, so the efficiency characteristics and stability of the entire operating condition were maintained in good condition. These results showed that the developed hydro turbine in this study will be suitable for small hydro power stations with medium and high head such as agricultural reservoirs and large dam.

A methodology to evaluate the performance analysis for micro hydropower sites has been studied. It consists of two main parts; flow duration function which can describe micro hydropower sites and performance analysis to estimate the output characteristics of micro hydropower plants. The output performance characteristics for Magok stream was analyzed, using developed model. Also, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, installed capacity, operational rate and annual electricity production were estimated and dicussed. Additionally, it was found that the developed model in this study is useful tool to estimate feasibility assessment for micro hydropower sites.

Hydrodynamic performance test of a turbopump for a liquid rocket engine is carried out. The turbopump is composed of an oxidizer pump, a fuel pump and a turbine, and the two pumps are driven by the turbine. In the test, water is used for the pumps as working media and air is used for the turbine. Performance parameters of pumps and a turbine are drawn, and a power balance between the pumps and the turbine are calculated. The calculation shows a good power balance, which implies that the pump component tests, the turbine component test and the assembly test are reliably performed. At the starting period of the test, pressure rise-flow rate curve of a pump gradually approaches the ideal curve which could be obtained by very slow starting.

소수력발전소가 건설 후 점검 및 유지보수를 지속적으로 수행 설비성능을 유지하지만, 30년이 경과하면 노후화 및 피로현상으로 성능이 저하되고 경제적 내용연수가 도래한다. 대수력의 경우 전문인력과 점검 및 보수비용을 투자하여 일상, 주간, 월간, 년간, 정기보수를 수행하고 그 기록을 유지관리하고 있지만, 소수력발전소의 경우는 그러하지 못하여 발전소 효율뿐만 아니라 운용중의 안전도 위협받고 있는 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 국내 시설물 안전관리에 관한 특별법에 의거 필리핀에 위치한 노후 수력발전소의 현대화를 위하여 최초 기존 시설물에 대한 안전진단을 실시하여 토목 및 건축물의 보강을 위한 방법을 선정하고 이를 바탕으로 수력발전설비로부터 발생하는 진동과 같은 다양한 영향을 감소시키기 위한 토목기술을 반영하여 현지 환경에 적합한 수차선정과 노후 시설물의 유지보수를 국내 토목 보수 보강 기술로 설계하였다.
