Recently, standardization of installation progress and technology of site acceptance test(SAT) for energy storage system(ESS) are being required due to performance of ESS depending on working condition and environment even though the quality and safety of each component of ESS　is guaranteed. And also, it has been required to perform not only performance testing by H/W equipments but also performance verification by S/W tool, in order to more accurately and reliably validate the performance of the ESS in advanced countries. Therefore, this paper proposes evaluation algorithm for SAT to evaluate performance of ESS and presents modeling of SAT test equipment for ESS by using PSCAD/EMTDC. Furthermore, 30[kW] scaled portable test equipments is implemented based on the proposed algorithm and modeling. From the various simulation and test results, it is confirmed that performance of ESS related to characteristics of capacity and Round-trip efficiency, Duty-cycle efficiency, low voltage ride through(LVRT) and Anti-islanding can be accurately evaluated and that the simulation results of PSCAD/EMTDC are identical to test results of 30[kW] test equipment.

As international environmental regulations on ship emissions are gradually strengthened, interest in electric propulsion and hybrid propulsion ships is increasing, and various solutions are being developed and applied to these ships, especially stabilization of the power system and system efficiency. The direct current distribution system is being applied as a way to increase the power. In addition, verification and testing of safety and performance of marine DC distribution systems is required. As a result of establishing a DC distribution test bed, verifying the performance of the DC distribution (variable speed power generation) system, and analyzing fuel consumption, this study applied a variable speed power generation system that is applied to DC power distribution for ships, and converted the power output from the generator into a rectifier. A system was developed to convert direct current power to connect to the system and monitor and control these devices. Through tests using this DC distribution system, the maximum voltage was 751.5V and the minimum voltage was 731.4V, and the voltage fluctuation rate was 2.7%, confirming that the voltage is stably supplied within 3%, and a variable speed power generation system was installed according to load fluctuations. When applied, it was confirmed through testing that fuel consumption could be reduced by more than 20% depending on the section compared to the existing constant speed power generation system.

In this study, the impact on the circulating water system has been analyzed due to an installation of helical turbine to develop hydro-kinetic energy at the discharge channel of the power plant. Numerical simulations of velocity and pressure variations have been performed when one set of $3.6\;m\;{\times}\;1.5\;m$ sized helical turbine is installed at the outlet of discharge culvert. In case of mean sea level, change of downstream water surface elevation does not affect upstream elevation of the weir because its propagation is blocked by the seal well weir. However in case of highest high water level, change of downstream elevation affects upstream elevation because flow pattern in discharge culvert becomes the full pipe flow with submerged weir. Although an unstable pressure change occurs in upstream of the weir during the intial 10 minutes after beginning of the discharge, it becomes stable after that time. In addition, a rise of water surface elevation by 0.2 m is observed but it is concluded that it hardly affects the safety of circulating water pump (CWP) although its required power is increased more or less. Therefore, the increase of required power of CWP needs to be considered for evaluation of the helical turbine applicability.

로듐 자기 기전력형 중성자 계측기는 단위 중성자당 발생되는 전류 신호가 매우 커 계측성이 우수하나 연소율이 빨라 자주 교체해야 하므로 재장전 기간 연장 및 새로운 로듐계측기 구입 등의 문제점이 있다. 75% 연소에 해당하는 제5핵 연료 주기 기간 동안 영광 3, 4호기와 같은 C-E 원자로에 사용되고 있는 로듐 자기 기전력형 중성자 계측기의 연소 거동이 C-E에 의해서 연구되었다. 약 제3핵연료주기까지 분석한C-E의 초창기 연구에서는 중성자 방사화율 개념에 근거하여 약 66%연소시점까지 로듐계측기 연소특성곡선은 선형적임이 밝혀진 바 있다. ［l, 2］ 그 후 C-E의 연구에 의하면 약 75% 연소에 해당하는 제5핵연료 주기까지도 로듐계측기 연소 특성 곡선은 선형적임이 밝혀졌다. 그 결과로 C-E형 원자력발전소에서 사용되는 로듐 노내계측기의 수명을 약 60%연소에서 66%연소 시점까지 연장시킬 수 있게 되었다. ［3］이 정도의 계측기 수명 연장은 약 반년의 원자로 운전 기간에 해당되며 차기 핵연료주기에서 많은 로듐 노내계측기를 계속 사용할 수 있게 한다. 특히 영광 3, 4호기가 12개월 핵연료 주기에서 18개월 핵연료 주기로 재장전 전략을 바꿀 경우 로듐 노내계측기의 수명 이 연장되지 않으면 계측기 교체가 빈번해 질 것으로 사료되어 로듐 수명 연장과 관련된 기술 특히 C-E 및 B&W의 로듐 노내계측기 연소도 특성곡선 불확실도 평가 및 출력 측정 계통 오차 분석 기술을 소개하고자 한다. 영광3, 4호기에서 사용중인 로듐 노내계측기 수명을 현재 연소도 기준 66%내로 한정하고 있는데 C-E 및 B&W의 로듐 노내계측기연소 특성에 관한 연구 내용을 분석한 결과 노내계측기 수명을 연소도가 66%를 초과하는 계측기가 있어도 전체적으로 불확실도가 안전한계를 넘지 않으면 노내상주가 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

도심지간 대용량 전력수송을 담당하는 지중송전케이블의 설비 신뢰성 향상과 공사원가 절감을 위해 적정 포설길이의 결정과 접속함의 최적 배치가 중요하며, 이러한 시스템 설계에 있어서 허용 포설장력과 측압은 여러 중요 요소 중 하나가 된다. 특히, 허용측압 계산과정에서 적용중인 최대 측압값에 대한 실증적 검증과 건정성 확인시험을 통해 케이블 특성에 가장 적정한 값을 도출하고, 실 계통에 적용함으로서 최적 시스템 설계가 구현될 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지중송전케이블을 관로에 포설시 곡률부에서 발생하는 측압을 여러 case별로 모의할 수 있도록 실증설비를 구축하였고, 실제 작용되는 측면하중을 로드셀을 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구결과로 안전율을 고려한 최적의 허용측압이 결정되었으며, 이러한 허용측압의 확대를 통해 장경간 케이블 포설의 이론 정립이 가능하게 되었다.

전 세계 태양광 발전용량은 2010년 초 25GW에서 2019년 말 617.9GW로, 지난 10년 동안 25배 이상 증가하였다(2019년 전세계 태양광 발전(PV)의 추가량은 거의 133GW 추정). 2020년에도 세계 태양광시장은 120~150GW를 형성해 전년대비 10% 내외의 성장세를 이어갈 것으로 전망되며, 향후에도 성장률은 다소 낮아지겠지만 2030년 태양광 수요피크 200GW까지 지속적인 성장이 기대된다. 한편 우리나라 수상태양광은 높은 잠재력(저수면적의 7%를 활용할 경우 5,304MW 규모의 수상태양광 개발이 가능)을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가된다. 신(新)정부 국정과제 3020 신재생 확산정책에 따라 신재생에너지 보급률 확산이 전망되는 가운데, K-water의 중장기('17~'26) 전략경영계획에 따르면 수상태양광은 2026년까지 2,758MW 개발을 목표로 하고 있다. 하지만, 수상태양광은 경제성과 환경적 측면에서의 불확실성을 포함하여 시설물의 안정성 검증, 사회적 수용성 등 극복해야 할 정책과제들을 안고 있다. ① REC 가격의 안정화, 경제성 제고 문제(높은 운영 및 관리 비용), ② 난개발, 환경·경관·안전 문제에 대한 주민들의 우려 : 주민 수용성 제고, ③ 투자 사기와 유착·비리, 편법개발, 난개발에 대한 규제방안, ④ 지역사회와의 거버넌스 및 갈등관리 문제, 공용 전력망 부족과 계통연계 문제 등. 이에 본 연구는 태양광 선도국가의 정책 사례 분석을 통해 수상태양광 관련 명확한 규제 및 지원정책을 제언하고자 한다. 분석방법으로는 첫째, 주요 국가에서 시행 중인 수상태양광에 대한 금융지원 및 정책 지원을 국내 사례와 비교·분석하였으며 둘째, 경제적·생태적 관점에서 수상태양광 모델을 개발하고, 이를 지역사회가 수용할 수 있도록 정책적 대안을 제시하였다.

With the increasing development of industrial society and the availability of high quality electrical energy, the simplification of operation and maintenance procedures is required, in order to ensure the reliability and safety of electrical systems. In this paper, the dielectric breakdown characteristics of $N_2-O_2$ mixed gas solid insulation, which is used as an alternative to SF6 in various electric power facilities, are verified. When the gas mixture has a composition ratio similar to that of the atmosphere, the dielectric breakdown characteristics are relatively stabilized. It was confirmed that the breakdown voltage of the gas in the electrode near an equal electric field increased with increasing pressure according to Paschen's rule. The breakdown voltage of the surface increased linearly with increasing pressure, and the difference was caused by the mixing ratio of $O_2$ gas. This change in the surface insulation breakdown voltage was caused by the influence of the electrically negative $O_2$ gas and the intermolecular collision distance. In this study, the influence of the intermolecular impact distance was larger (than that in the absence of the electrically negative $O_2$ gas). The breakdown voltage relation applicable to Teflon according to the surface insulation characteristics was calculated. The characteristics of the surface insulation properties of Teflon, which is used as a solid insulation material, were derived as a function of pressure. It is thought that these results can be used as the basic data for the insulation design of electric power facilities.

As regulations of emissions from ships become more stringent, electric propulsion systems have been increasingly used to solve this problem in vessels ranging from large merchant ships to small and medium-sized ships. Methods for improving the efficiency of the electric propulsion system include the improvement of power sources; the use of a system linked to environmentally friendly power sources, such as batteries, fuel cells, and solar power; and the development of hardware and control methodology for rectifiers, power conversion devices, and propulsion motors. The method using a phase-shifting transformer with diodes has been widely used for rectification. Power semiconductor devices with grid connection to an environmentally friendly power source using DC distribution, a variable speed power source, and the application of small and medium-sized electric propulsion systems have been developed. Accordingly, the demand for active front-end (AFE) rectifiers is increasing. In this study, a method using a neural network rather than a conventional proportional-integral controller was proposed to control the AFE rectifier. Tested controller data were used to design a neural network controller trained through MATLAB/Simulink. The neural network controller was applied to a rectification system designed using PSIM software. The results indicated the effectiveness of improving the waveform and power factor DC output stage according to the load variation. The proposed system can be applied as a rectification system for small and medium-sized environmentally friendly ships.

Submarine cable installation is essentials for grid connection between existing power grid and newly produced electricity which will be from offshore wind farm in Southwest sea area of Korea. Especially, submarine cable route and protection method is designed in order to ensure the economical efficiency, workability and stability of submarine cable installation. On this paper, we will give the basic information about the submarine cable route and protection method of offshore wind farm which will be built in Southwest sea area of Korea. For this, we have a numerical simulation at high and low tide based on the third-generation wave model SWAN(Simulating WAves Nearshore) using the long term wave data from Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology(KIOST). The results of the study, year mean Hs is 1.03m, Tz is 4.47s and dominant wave direction is NW and SSW When the incident wave direction is NW(Hs: 7.0 m, Tp: 11.76s), the distribution of shallow water design wave height Hs was calculated about 4.0~5.0m at high tide and 2.0~3.0m at low tide. When the incident wave direction is SSW(Hs: 5.84 m, Tp: 11.15s), the distribution of shallow water design wave height Hs was calculated about 3.5~4.5m at high tide and 1.5~2.5m at low tide. The wave direction on a dominant influence in the section of longitude UTM 249749~251349(about 1.6 km) and UTM 251549~267749(about 16.2 km) in the submarine cable route are each NW and SSW. Prominently, wave focusing phenomenon appears between Wi-do and Hawangdeung-do, in this sea area is showing a relatively high wave hight than the surrounding sea areas.

Electric power which is the energy source of economy and industries requires long distance transportation due to regional difference between its production and consumption, and it is supplied through the multi-loop transmission and distribution system. Prior to its actual use, electric power flows through several transformations by voltage transformers in substations depending on the characteristics of each usage, and a transformer has the structure consisting of the main body, winding wire, insulating oil and bushings. A transformer fire that breaks out in substations entails the primary damage that interrupts the power supply to houses and commercial facilities and causes various safety accidents as well as the secondary economic losses. It is considered that causes of such fire include the leak of insulating oil resulting from the destruction of bottom part of bushings, and the chain reaction of fire due to insulating oil that reaches its ignition point within 1 second. The smoke detector and automatic fire extinguishing system are established in order to minimize fire damage, but a difficulty in securing golden time for extinguishing fire due to delay in the operation of detector and release of gas from the extinguishing system has become a problem. Accordingly, this study was carried out according to needs of active mechanism to prevent the spread of fire and block the leak of insulating oil, in accordance with the importance of securing golden time in extinguishing a fire in its early stage. A bushings fireproof structure was developed by applying the high temperature shape retention materials, which are expanded by flame, and mechanical flame cutoff devices. The bushings fireproof structure was installed on the transformer model produced by applying the actual standards of bushings and flange, and the full scale fire test was carried out. It was confirmed that the bushings fireproof structure operated at accurate position and height within 3 seconds from the flame initiation. It is considered that it could block the spread of flame effectively in the event of actual transformer fire.
