The improvement of load following operation of the thermal power plant is influenced to the electrical quality. Analysis of boiler, turbine, and governor system, and the study of control algorithm are necessarily preceded. The thermal power plant is operated by various control systems. In the case of faulty governor system, it takes long days to solve the problem and impossible to repair the mechanism without outage. A non-planned outage is taken into consideration because of economical power production. The paper introduces the followings; In case of system-frequency drop during long term, at 500MW thermal power plant, the generator output was drop. To clear this problem, the control logic is modified with analysis of trend and control algorithm. As a result system frequency drop is prevented during the long tenn and the electric grid operation is improved.

This study addresses a methodology to use small wind turbines for dual purposes, improving aerodynamic performance of flexible bridges and wind energy harvesting. A way to proper placement of small wind turbines on flexible bridges were proposed according on the analogy of conventional aerodynamic appendages. From the wind tunnel tests, it was found that the wind turbine attached like fairing was effective to reduce the vortex-induced vibration of bridge and the optimal spanwise interval of the wind turbine was 3-4.5 time of turbine diameter. Moreover the aerodynamic coefficients of the bridge were improved after installation of the wind turbines. Present results showed the general availability of wind turbine for improvement of aerodynamic performance and energy supply of flexible bridges although the capacity of wind power generation was strongly dependent on wind characteristics of the bridge site.

In this paper, a design method of the boiler-turbine control system in the coal fired power plant is proposed. We need to control electric output and drum pressure and water level in drum to guarantee stable operation and save energy for generating electricity and decrease air pollution in the boiler-turbine system. This boiler-turbine control system is composed of reference model part and model following part. The multivariable boiler-turbine system is separated into 3 SISO(Single Input Single Output) systems applying the concept of relative gain matrix. Each 3 reference models for separated boiler-turbine system are composed of 1st order nominal plant and hysteresis integral control system and they make good dy¬namic response with no overshoot and fast rising time. Each fuzzy controller to follow as close as possible to the response of each reference model is designed. The robustness and the good tracking property can be achieved using 5150 fuzzy controllers when there are modeling errors, disturbances and parameter pertur¬bations. The effectiveness of the proposed design method is verified through simulations.

The oscillating-water-column wave energy converter represents the complex physical characteristics associated with the water column, turbines, generator, and power converter. This study focuses on the derivation of the physical relationship between the water column and turbine based on the 1/ 4 scale model test. The aerodynamic characteristics of the OWC ducted turbine were simulated using an orifice. The turbine effect, a key element in the OWC-chamber performance evaluation, can be represented by the flow rate and pressure drop through the orifice. The turbine effect of OWC-WEC was confirmed to have a non-linear relationship from the measured flow rate and pressure drop in the model test.

In this study, a 2-W micro-gas turbine engine was designed using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, and analytical and experimental investigations of its potential under actual combustion conditions were performed. An ultra-micro-gas turbine contains a turbo-charger, combustor, and generator. A compressor, turbine blade, and generator coil were manufactured using MEMS technology. The shaft was supported by a precision computer numerical control machined air bearing, and a permanent magnet was attached to the end of the shaft for generation. An analysis found that the cooling effect of the air bearing and compressor was sufficient to cover the combustor heat, which was verified in an actual experiment.

본 논문에서는 심플로러를 이용하여 실제와 가장 유사한 DFIG (Doubly-Fed Induction Generator)를 모사하였다. 이를 위해서 실제 바람과 유사한 속도 명령을 룩업 테이블로 만들어 대체하였고 실제 전기기기의 파라미터 값을 입력하였다. 그동안 풍력 발전에 있어서 발전기는 주로 매트랩등둥을 이용해서 DFIG를 구현하였기에 실제와 다소 다르고 모의실험으로 대체하기 매우 어려웠지만 심플로러(Simplorer)를 이용하여 실제와 가장 유사한 모의실험 세트를 구현하였다. 우선 터빈의 역할을 담당하는 전동기는 SVM 벡터제어를 이용하여 속도제어를 실시하였고 발전기는 슬립링을 가지고 있는 권선형 유도전동기를 사용하여 DFIG의 구조를 갖추었다.

The present paper relates to an integration power system combining tidal power generation and ocean current power generation, and more particularly, to an integration power system combining a tidal power plant and two ocean current power parks, which is capable of increasing the operating rate of power facilities and efficiently generating electrical energy by using incoming seawater into the lake through turbine generators of a tidal power plant or fast flow of seawater discharged to a sea side through sluice gates of a tidal power dam. It is shown that the integration power system is a new promising ocean power system and the ocean current turbine generators in the ocean current power parks of the integration power system are smaller in size and larger in power generation capacity compared with the tidal current turbine generators in the ocean.
