Among the main facilities of the power plant, the circulating water used for cooling the power generation system is supplied through the Circulation Water Intake Basin (CWIB). The vortexes of various types generated in the Pump Sump (PS) of CWIB adversely affect the Circulation Water Pump (CWP) and pipelines. In particular, the free surface vortex accompanied by air intake brings about vibration, noise, cavitation etc. and these are the causes of degradation of CWP performance, damage to pipelines. Then power generation is interrupted by the causes. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of CWIB through the hydraulic model experiment and apply an appropriate Anti Vortex Device (AVD) that can control the vortex to enable smooth operation of the power plant. In general, free surface vortex is controlled by Curtain Wall (CW) and the submerged vortex is by the anti vortex device of the curtain wall. The detailed specifications are described in the American National Standard for Pump Intake Design. In this study, the circulating water intake part of the Tripoli West 4×350 MW power plant in Libya was targeted, the actual operating conditions were applied, and the vortex reduction effect of the anti vortex device generated in the suction tank among the circulating water intake part was analyzed through a hydraulic model experiment. In addition, a floor splitter was basically applied to control the submerged vortex, and a new type of column curtain wall was additionally applied to control the vortex generated on the free surface to confirm the effect. As a result of analyzing the hydraulic characteristics by additionally applying the newly developed Column Curtain Wall (CCW) to the existing curtain wall, we have found that the vortex was controlled by forming a uniform flow. In addition, the vortex angle generated in the circulating water pump pipeline was 5° or less, which is the design standard of ANSI/HI 9.8, confirming the stability of the flow.

A few intake stations have vibration problems caused by pumps, motors and pipes. The vibration transffered from pumps, motors and pipes excites buiding severely. Therefore, the crack is generated on building wall and people who work at intake station are damaged. In this paper, the vibration and noise have been measured and analyzed for pumps, motors, pipes and building at intake station. Also, the cause of vibration and noise is identified. Finally, the reference of vibration and noise is established using results of measurement.

In general, the function of intake structure, whether it be a open channel, a fully wetted tunnel, a sump or a tank is to supply an evenly distributed flow to a pump station. An even distribution of flow, characterized by strong local flow, can result in formation of surface or submerged vortices, and with certain low values of submergence, my introduce air into pun, causing a reduction of capacity and efficiency, an increase in vibration and additional noise. This study investigated experimentally the formation of the vortex to understand the mechanism of vortex formation and to prevent the formation of vortex in the sump model using by the model test and PIV tool. Sump model was manufactured to 1/8 scale with the drawing of W intake pumping station. from the results of model test and PIV, the vortex were occurred the in the whole section. Thus, sump model tests with the anti-vortex device might be considered to prevent the formation of vortex in the sump model.

논에서의 밭작물 재배면적은 점점 늘어나는 추세이며, 저수지에 용수가 있음에도 불구하고 논 위주의 용수공급체계로 인하여 가뭄이 심한 경우에 일반 밭지대에도 용수공급이 용이하지 않다. 지표수를 밭 관개용수로 사용함으로써 기존 수리시설의 활용도를 제고하고 농업용수의 사용 절감 및 신규 개발비 절약 등의 효과를 얻게 될 수 있도록 농업용수의 다목적 이용방안이 필요하다. 밭작물의 용수확보는 대부분 개인관정을 이용하여 밭지대에 관개용수를 공급하고 있으나, 최근 지하수는 전국적으로 수위가 낮아지고 있으며, 특히 가뭄시 지하수위 저하에 따른 용수공급이 어려울 것으로 예상된다. 지표수는 저수지, 양수장, 취입보를 활용하여 공급하고 있으며, 송수시설은 관수로 및 용수간선을 활용하여 저류시설로 공급되고 있다. 저류조 설치는 산중턱 및 고가저류조와 평지 설치로 수원별 하천수의 경우 송수는 펌프를 이용하여 저류조에 송수하여 관수로를 적용한다. 급수방법은 자연유하 방식 기능을 선택한다. 저수지 경우 송수는 수원으로부터 직접 공급시 자연유하 방식이 가능하고 고가저류조의 경우 펌프를 이용하여 저류조에 공급한다. 평지설치시 기존 개수로를 적용하면 펌프로 유입수를 취수할 수 있는 조치가 필요하다. 평지설치 급수는 펌프를 이용하여 관개장치에 공급한다.

본 논문은 최근 에너지 절감 및 생산성 향상, 품질 향상, 원가 절감에 지대한 영향을 미치고 있는 인버터의 제어방안에 대한 연구이다. 보다 효율적인 펌프운전을 위해 댐 원수를 취수하는 인라인 가압장에 정밀성과 제어성능이 우수한 가변속 전력변환장치인 인버터가 적용되어 운영되었다. 하지만 인버터 1대 적용시 고 rpm에는 효율이 급격하게 떨어져 전력요금 상승을 가져오고 또한 펌프기동반 내부 온도 상승 및 권선온도 상승을 가져옴으로써 전반적인 효율 저하를 나타나게 됨에 따라 인버터 조합 운전 방안을 찾고 에너지 절감 방안을 모색하고자 실제 적용사례를 중심으로 연구되었다.

Recently, because people are taking a great interest in the water supply system and the related facilities are getting larger, the surge suppression is very important problem. The waterhammer occurs when the pumps are started or stoped for operation or tripped due to the power failure. As the waterhammer problems as a result of the pump power failure were very serious, these situations were carefully investigated. Accordingly, we carried out both numerical simulations and field tests to confirm the safety of Juam intake pumping station in which had the in-line pumps. In this paper, it was reviewed that the water supply system has the reliability on the pressure surge, in case the air chambers were installed at both the inlet and the oulet of the in-line pumping station. From the numerical simulations, we found that negative pressure occurred at the inlet disappeared and high pressure occurred at the outlet reduced due to the air chambers. And these results of numerical simulations verified by the field tests. The field tests carried out in case of normal start, normal stop, one and two of pumps emergency stop. By results of simulations and field tests, we are sure that Juam intake pumping station in which have the air chambers is safe for the waterhammer. In addition, we suggested the operation methods of facilities for safe maintenance of the pumping station.

Bottled water companies in Korea are required to conduct an environmental impact assessment of their drinking water supply at least six months before the expiration of their five-year marketing and production license. The water level drawdown, production well water quality, and monitoring well observation results are the most important items that are evaluated in the assessment report. Here we evaluate the relationship between well drawdown and pumping capacity with pumping time from the production wells of bottled water manufacturers located in Cretaceous granite (site A) and Precambrian gneiss (site B). The method to reduce the pumping capacity is more effective in decreasing the drawdown than the method to simultaneously control the pumping and recovery times. Furthermore, the monitoring data from the pH monitoring sensors that were installed in Precambrian gneiss (site C) yield pH values that increase with time and eventually plateau at a certain value. We therefore propose that pH monitoring is either discontinued or improved to provide more reliable and usable results.
