This paper presents the basic quench protection idea for the HTS(High-Temperature Superconducting) cable. In Korea power system, the transfer capability of transmission line is limited by the voltage stability, HTS cable could be one of the countermeasure to enhance the transfer limit with its higher current capacity and lower impedance[1]. However, the quench characteristic makes not only HTS cable to loss its superconductivity, but also change the impedance of the transmission line and power system operating condition dramatically. This pheonominum threats HTS cable safety as well as power system security, therefore a proper protection scheme and security control counterplan have to be established before HTS cable implementation. In this paper, the quench characteristics of HTS cable for the fault current based on heat balance equation was established and a proper protection method regarding conventional protection system was suggested.

Since real-time monitoring system like a fault early detection has been very important, infrared thermography technique as a new diagnosis method was proposed. This study is focused on the damage detection and temperature characteristic analysis of ball bearing using the non-destructive infrared thermography method. In this paper, for the reliability assessment, infrared experimental data were compared with the frequency data of the existing. As results, the temperature characteristics of ball bearing were analyzed under various loading conditions. Finally it was confirmed that the infrared technique was useful for real-time detection of the bearing damages.

Since thermal power plant (TPP) equipment is operated under very high pressure and temperature, failures of the equipment give rise to severe losses of life and property. To prevent the losses, fault detection method is, therefore, absolutely necessary to identify abnormal operating conditions of the equipment in advance. In this paper, we present Mahalanobis distance (MD) based fault detection method for steam boiler tube in TPP. In the MD-based method, it is supposed that abnormal data samples are far away from normal samples. Using multivariate samples collected from normal target system, mean vector and covariance matrix are calculated and threshold value of MD is decided. In a test phase, after calculating the MDs between the mean vector and test samples, alarm signals occur if the MDs exceed the predefined threshold. To demonstrate the performance, a failure case due to boiler tube leakage in 200MW TPP is employed. The experimental results show that the presented method can perform early detection of boiler tube leakage successfully.

The temporary steel bridges which are constructed for detour and constructional expediency are consisted of H-beams(as superstructure) and H-piles(as substructure). Because these members are fastened by high-tension bolts, there are no expansion joints in these bridges. So, these kinds of bridges have no system which can relieve the excessive thermal stress. In this investigation, monitoring system was set up at temporary steel bridge and stress and temperature changes of H-beam are monitored. From these measured data, it is analyzed that the relationship between ambient and main-girder temperature change, between temperature and stress change. With these analyses, it is resulted that the thermal stress take main part of stress variation in this bridge and the restrain of thermal longitudinal displacement of H-pile. In addition, because the connection part of H-beam to H-beam is weak in the continuous spans, the sub-modelling is well apt to reflect the effect of thermal stress.

본 논문에서는 가공 배전선로에 사용되고 있는 피뢰기의 상태 진단을 위한 누설전류 분석기법에 대해 기술하였다. 현장에서 다양한 환경 스트레스를 받고 있는 피뢰기는 점차 열화가 진행되어 선로 고장의 원인이 되므로 이를 사전에 검출하여 고장을 예방하는 것이 중요하다. 피뢰기 이상을 효과적으로 검출하는 방법의 하나로 사용되고 있는 누설전류 측정방법에 대해 평가하였다. 피뢰기 누설전류는 측정 환경에 영향을 받을 수 있기 때문에 현장 측정한 결과와 실험실에서 측정한 결과를 비교하여 분석하여 환경영향을 보정하여 판단하는 방법을 고려하였다. 또한 온도에 따른 누설전류 값의 변화를 분석하여 누설전류에 의한 피뢰기 상태 판단 근거를 마련하였다. 이를 위해 현장에서 설치 운용되고 있는 피뢰기를 지역별로 고르게 발취하여 측정 분석하였다.

한전 전력연구원은 1990년대부터 FACTS(유연송전시스템 : Flexible AC Transmission System)을 연구해 온 이래 80MVA UPFC(종합조류제어기 : Unified Power Flow Controller)를 2003. 5월 신강진전력소관내 강진변전소에 준공하였다. 효성과 지멘스의 기술제휴를 통해 개발된 강진변전소 UPFC를 통해 FACTS 엔지니어링, 제어 알고리즘 및 유지보수 기술이 확보되었다. 초창기 안정화운전 기간동안 제어핵심기술과 일부예비품의 미확보가 가용율(Availability)에 큰 영향을 미쳤으나, 현재 강진 UPFC는 안정적으로 운전되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 그 동안의 강진 UPFC의 고장내용을 종합분석하고, 가용율을 정리하였다.

이 글에서는 고충아파트에서 층간 열공급의 불균일성이 발생하는 원인을 설명하였고 이 불균일 성을 해소시키는 새로운 열공급 설비 기술을 설명하였으며 그 내용들에 대한 결론은 다음과 같다. (1) 온수 난방 고층아파트의 층간 열공급의 불균일성은 온수공급관과 회수관의 정수압력의 차 이에 의한 유동저항에 의해서 발생한다. (2) 다구역배관망 시스템은 온수공급관과 회수관의 정수압력의 차이에 의해 발생하는 열공급 불균일성의 해소에 거의 기여하지 못한다. (3) 연속난방방식에서 서모스타트의 설치는 각세대의 열공급을 균일하게 할 수 있고 에너지 절 약면에서 가장 유리한 방식이나 고장의 위험성이 가장 크며, 운전의 미숙에 의한 열공급 제어의 불균일성을 초래하기 쉬우며 외기온도가 매우 낮으면 층간 열공급제어가 되지 않을 수 있어서 자동유량조절밸브를 병용하거나 온수공급압력을 충분히 크게 할 필요가 있다. (4) 자동유량조절밸브에 부착하면 단구역 배관망 시스템에서도 층간의 유량공급의 불균일성을 없앨 수 있으나 순환 펌프유량이 부족하면 밸브의 자동유량조절 기능이 상실된다. (5) 수동유량조절밸브는 TAB에 의해서 충간의 유량을 균일하게 조절할 수 있으나 펌프 성능변화 관부식 등이 발생하면 TAB를 다시 할 필요가 발생할 수 있다. 그러나 밸브의 고장이 적고 유 동저항을 적게 발생시키며 한 개의 밸브로 조절할 수 있는 유량의 범위가 큰 점에서는 가장 유 리하다.

The fire event occurred in fire proof zone often causes serious electrical problems such as shorts, ground faults, or open circuits in nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety related systems and equipments. The fire event can treat the basic design principle that safety systems should keep their functions with redundancy and independency. In case of a cable fire, operators can not perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, wrong indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and make disastrous conditions. In this paper, investigation and cause analysis of cable fire in Nuclear Power Plant, we described the cable fire temperature and functional failure criteria and the cable functional failure temperature evaluation by exposed fire is studied.

The faults in railway vehicle components may result in either the stoppage of the service and the derailment of the vehicle. Therefore, it is important to diagnose and monitor the main components of a railway vehicle. The use of temperature is one of the basic methods for the diagnosis of abnormal conditions in the rotational components of a railway vehicle, such as bearings, reduction gears, brake discs, wheels and traction motors. In the present study, the diagnose of the rotational components using infrared thermography and a pattern recognition technique was carried out and a field test was performed. The results show that this method of diagnosis using infrared thermography can be used to identify abnormal conditions in rotational components of a railway vehicle.

This paper describes an analytical method to determine the short-term ratings to reliably operate the overhead transmission lines with double-circuit lines when faulting one circuit of the two. As linearizing the thermal equilibrium equation that represents the temperature characteristic of conductors, we show that the linear equation can be easily represented the over-current and it's temperature property during overloading the one line. Generally, it is well hewn that the short-term line ratings should be determined by considering both conductor life and dip. However, most power companies have their own different guides for the short-term ratings. Using the suggested method in this paper, it can be re-accessed the short-term ratings given in Kepco's overhead transmission lines constructed during the past three different periods. As a result, it is verified that the short-term ratings could be increased mil efficiently. Furthermore, it would be directly applied the given method to determine the short-term dynamic line ratings when occurring faults in one of the double-circuit lines, without doing my other actions for the current lines.
