복합화력 발전플랜트의 운전에서 특히 하절기의 첨두부하시에 외기온도의 상승으로 인한 가스터빈의 출력 감소를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 LNG 연료가 보유하고 있는 냉열을 이용하여 압축기로 유입되는 공기 온도를 감소시키는 냉각시스템의 개념을 개발하고자 복합화력 발전플랜트에 대한 설계점 및 외기온도 변화에 대한 탈설계점 모델링 연구를 수행하였다. 대상 프랜트는 940 MW 서인천 복합 발전플랜트 모듈의 단위 블록을 선택하였으며 발전플랜트 전용 해석코드인 GateCycle을 이용하여 가스터빈과 증기사이클의 주요 기기 들에 대한 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 모델의 결과를 대상플랜트의 시운전결과와 비교하여 모델의 적정성을 검증하였다. 출력, 효율, 온도 및 유량 등 주요 설계인자들이 최대 ~1.3%의 상대오차 범위 안에서 만족할 만한 신뢰도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 탈설계점 성능해석은 본 논문과 관련한 연구의 주목적인 LNG 냉열에 의한 유입공기 냉각시스템 설계시의 경계변수인 외기온도 증가에 대한 각 사이클의 특성변화를 대상으로 하였다. 종합적으로 외기온도가 증가하면 압축기로 유입되는 공기의 양과 이에 대응하는 소요 연료량이 동시에 감소하므로 연소에 따른 가스터빈의 팽창비가 감소한다. 이로 인하여 외기온도 증가시에 가스터빈 출력감소율은 0.5%/$^{\circ}C$로서 배기가스를 이용하는 증기사이클의 출력감소율 0.2%/$^{\circ}C$에 비해 민감하므로 가스터빈 유입공기의 냉각시스템의 설계는 복합화력발전 플랜트의 효율 향상에 크게 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

The pre-swirl system is the device that minimizes energy loss of turbine cooling airflow from the stationary parts into rotating parts. In this paper, an off-design analysis was conducted for the ambient air temperature and turbine load conditions. The discharge coefficient was constant for ambient air temperature and turbine load. However, adiabatic effectiveness was increased. This is due to the volume flow rate. The volume flow rate was increased at higher ambient temperature and higher turbine load. It means that the volume of cooling air was increased and the cooling performance of the air was improved. Consequently, adiabatic effectiveness increased by 30.46% at 100% turbine load compared to 20% turbine load. And increased by 18.42% at 55℃ ambient air temperature compared to -20℃ ambient air temperature.

Free cooling system is used to reduce energy consumption of cooling system. Free cooling system is consisted of cooling group and dry-cooler in which heat exchange of chilled water and out air is conducted. Although this system has an excellent energy saving effect in place having cooling load regularly, data or material of design for free cooling system is lacked. In this study, characteristics analysis of free cooling system is conducted through software HYSYS with changing some facts. The main result is following as : Dry-cooler capacity is influenced by out air temperature, required chilled water temperature and LMTD(Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference) of heat exchanger. As out air temperature is more low, dry-cooler capacity become increased. in addition, as required chilled water temperature is more high and LMTD is more low, the out air temperature range is widened for using dry-cooler. If out air temperature is below $0^{\circ}C$, antifreeze need to be used because freeze and burst can be occurred. In case of South Korea, antifreeze of 34% of ethylene glycol concentration is proper. When compressor load of R22, R134a and R407C is compared, considering environmental regulation and energy consumption, R134a is best working fluid.

우리나라에서 피크부하용으로 사용하는 복합발전이 하계시에서 외기온도가 상승함에 따라 실제로는 정격출력을 내지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연료(LNG)의 냉열을 이용하여 가스터빈의 연소용공기를 냉각시킬 경우, 복합발전 시스템의 성능변화를 분석하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과 LNG의 냉열을 이용하여 연소용공기를 원하는 온도까지 냉각시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 연소기로 연료를 투입하기전에 설계온도까지 예열시키는 열교환기를 통해 배기가스에 함유된 현열을 더욱 많이 회수하면서, 가스터빈 투입연료의 온도를 상승시킬 수 있어, 시스템효율이 더욱 상승함을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 외기온도가 변하는 경우에, 본 시스템의 도입을 위해서는 경제성분석과 더불어 열교환기 시스템의 최적합성이 추후 진행되어야 할 것이며, 이를 통해 최적의 발전시스템을 구성할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Outdoor design temperature is important for selecting proper capacity of heating and cooling systems of a building to implement indoor thermal comfort and save energy consumption. The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of South Korea outdoor design temperature according to the assigned period. When outdoor design temperature of 8 locations calculated with the latest weather data during 2008~2015 years using ASHRAE Bin method are compared to the standard temperature of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport which is widely used for designing South Korea air-conditioning system at present, the maximum temperature difference becomes $0.97^{\circ}C$ for cooling, and $1.94^{\circ}C$ for heating. Due to wide outdoor temperature variation, update of outdoor design temperature based on recent weather data is recommended.

In this study, the effects of vent location, outside temperature, wind velocity and fire size on the performance of natural venting of the vertical vent designed according to NFPA 204 standard and fire characteristics were numerically investigated using CFAST. In cases of the Vent located on most upper wall, lower outside temperature and lower wind velocity, vents met the performance criteria of venting. The larger fire size becomes, the more mass flow rate through a vent becomes, but the lower interface height of smoke layer becomes, so that vent didn't meet the performance criteria of venting. It should be noted that a natural vertical vent be designed considering maximum outside temperature and maximum wind velocity and developing a design fire accurately in order to meet the performance criteria of venting.

The integration between a gas turbine and an air separation unit (ASU) is important in IGCC plants. The portion of ASU air extracted from the gas turbine and the degree of nitrogen supply from the ASU to the gas turbine side are important operating parameters. Their effect on the gas turbine performance and operability should be considered in a wide ambient temperature range. In this study, appropriate nitrogen dilution rate and turbine inlet temperature that satisfy the two limitations of turbine blade temperature and maximum allowable power output were predicted. The air integration was set at zero. The simulation showed that the power output increases and turbine blade temperature decreases as the nitrogen dilution increases. The maximum allowable power output can be obtained under medium and low ambient temperature ranges. Under a high ambient temperature range, the achievable power is less than the maximum power.

Computational fluid dynamics was used to develop a heat-recovery ventilator for preventing freezing in cold weather. An optimal internal return damper was applied, and a prototype was made for frost and freezing experiments. A total of 16 models were used to design the optimal internal return damper with the maximum exhaust recirculation ratio. The exhaust recirculation ratio of the exhaust air to the outdoor air was 59.9-62.3%. The tests showed that frost and freezing did not occur at outdoor air temperatures of $-15^{\circ}C$ or higher in both exhaust recirculation operation and normal operation. However, at an outdoor air temperature of $-20^{\circ}C$, no freezing occurred in the outdoor air area when the internal return damper was opened by 45 degrees. Heat recovery ventilators for preventing cold weather frost and freezing should be operated in two operation modes: normal and exhaust recirculation mode. An operating algorithm was developed for the heat-recovery ventilator operating in normal mode when the outdoor temperature is higher than $-15^{\circ}C$ and recirculation mode when the temperature is lower.

This study evaluates geothermal system efficiency in terms of input power and heat exchange volume on the heat-source and load sides, by applying a combined open-closed type loop system comprising a geothermal system and a groundwater well to a cultivation site. In addition, this study analyzes the effects of heating and cooling for a complex geothermal system, by evaluating the temperatures of an external site and a cultivation site during operation. During cooling operations the heat exchange volume on the heat source side, average 90.0kW/h for an open type system with an input of 235L/minute groundwater, and 40.1kW/h for a closed type system with an input of 85L/minute circulating water, for a total average heat exchange volume of 130.1kW/h. The actual heat exchange volume delivered on the load side averages 110.4kW/h. The average EER by analysis of the geothermal system's cooling efficiency is 5.63. During heating operation analysis, the heat exchange volume on the heat source side, average 60.4kW/h in an open type system with an input of 266L/minute groundwater, and 22.4kW/h in closed type system with an input of 86L/minute circulating water, for a total average heat exchange volume of 82.9kW/h. The actual heat exchange volume delivered on the load side averages 112.0kW/h in our analysis. The average COP determined by analysis of the geothermal system's heating efficiency is 3.92. Aa a result of the tradeoff between the outside temperature and the inside temperature of the production facility and comparing the facility design with a combined well and open-closed loops geothermal(CWG) system, we determine that the 30RT-volume CWG system temperature are lower by $3.4^{\circ}C$, $6.8^{\circ}C$, $10.1^{\circ}C$ and $13.4^{\circ}C$ for ouside temperature is of $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. Based on these results, a summer cooling effect of about $10^{\circ}C$ is expected relative to a facility without a CWG system as the outside temperature is generally ${\geq}30^{\circ}C$. Our results suggest that a complex geothermal system provides improvement under a variety of conditions even when heating conditions in winter are considered. Thus It is expected that the heating-cooling tradeoffs of complex geothermal system are improved by using water screen.
