Economic feasibility for retrofitting the wet bottom ash handling system to the dry system in a existing 500MW${\times}$2 units pulverized coal thermal power plant in Korea was studied. Replacing to the dry system requires the initial capital costs of 13,415,127,000\, and saves the operating costs of 935,345,000\ per year. Economic analyses based on these results showed that the initial capital cost would not be recovered within the service life of the facilities at the interest rate of 10%, and the internal rate of return of 5.6% were obtained. Thus, the retrofitting to the dry system was not economically favorable in the current condition. However, the retrofitting would be profitable when the ash disposal cost and ash selling price were increased over 15,000\/MT or 17,000\/MT, respectively.

4000MW급 유연탄발전소는 기존 500MW급 4기의 발전설비 운영조건에서 지역공동체는 긍정적이었으나, 500MW급의 증설 호기가 늘어나면서 지역 공동체는 발전소 증설과 관련하여 기존 동쪽 부지 경계지역의 소음환경에 대하여 부정적인 문제를 제기하였다. 2000MW급 증설이 진행되어온 4000MW급 발전소의 다양한 소음원에 의한 소음파워 증대와 증가방출 과도소음 에 대하여 고저가 다양한 주변지역에 미치는 영향음 평가하고자 3차원 모델링기법을 적용한다. 기존호기를 비롯한 전체의 발전소 전면부 소음원응 비교 시험결과 증가방출 소음 파워가 기존 설계의 변경 제작되어 기존호기에 비해 20~30dBA 높아져 동시 방출사 주변지역에 과도하게 영향을 미치는 상태였으며 500MW급 4기를 추가 증설에 따라 일상소음원에 의한 소음 영향도 증설전 대비 2~3dBA 증가된 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 증설호기의 과도 소음원 제거 방안으로 대가 방출증가가 회수되도록 증설호기의 증가방출설비를 개선하였고, 증설에 의하여 증가된 소음 영향음 저감하고자 기존 경계지역에 미치는 소음원음 고려하여 방음벽음 설치한 결과 47 ~ 49dBA를 나타내고 인근 주거건물의 전면부 소음은 43dBA이었다.

A control system has been developed by korean engineers for 500MW korean standard type fossil power plant with the advent of retrofit of old control system. The developed control system is required to verify in terms of function and reliability prior to application to a power plant because a power plant is a very important facility in the industry. It is difficult to secure the enough period for installing the control system and commissioning due to the gradual increase of power demand and competitive power market environment. It is essential to verify the control system in order to reduce trial and error cases during overhaul period for application of control system to the power plant. This paper shows the case study of a functional test of a station of control system for power plant.

It is well known that the dominant damage mechanisms in high-temperature steam turbine facilities such as rotor and casing are creep and fatigue damages. Even though coupling of creep and fatigue should be considered while predicting the life of turbine facilities, the remaining life of large steam turbine facilities is generally determined on the basis of creep damage because the turbines must generate stable base-load power and because they are operated at a high temperature and pressure for a long time. Almost every large steam turbine in Korea has been operated for more than 20 years and is made of steel containing various amounts of principal alloying elements nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. In this study, creep damage model of 1Cr1Mo1/4V steel for turbine rotor is proposed and that can assess the high temperature creep life of large steam turbine facilities is proposed.

It is required that a developed control system should be verified using simulator in terms of functionality and reliability prior to application to a power plant that is a very critical facility in the industry. In this paper, the control model for turbine bypass system was developed for power plant simulator. In order to develop the control model for turbine bypass system, the tool that can be used to implement turbine bypass control logic was developed based on the turbine bypass control system manual. The developed tool was merged into the simulator development environment. The functionality of the developed tool was verified via the simulation based on the each function block specification. The HP turbine bypass pressure control logic was implemented using the developed tool and was integrated with process models and other control models such as boiler control model, turbine control model and boiler feed water pump turbine control model for 500 MW korean standard type fossil power plant. Finally, the validity of the developed control model was shown via simulation result under the integrated simulation environment.
