Fire and explosion analysis are performed for the quantitative risk assessment on the LNG test plant. From the analysis for a case of fire due to large leakage of LNG from the tank, it is obtained that loss of lives can be occurred within the radius of 60 m from the fire origin. Specially, wind can extend the extent of damage. Because the LNG test plant is not enclosed, the explosion overpressure is less than 6 kPa and the explosion has little effect on the integrity of the LNG test plant.

Thermodynamic cycle analysis has been performed for the power generation systems to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Among many possible configurations of the cycle, the open Rankine cycle, the closed Rankine cycle, and the closed Brayton cycle are selecte for the analysis because of their practical importance. The power output per unit mass of LNG has been analytically calculated for various design parameters. The optimal conditions for the parameters to maximize the power output are presented and some of the design considerations are discussed.

LNG는 환경규제에 따라 화석에너지에서 친환경 재생에너지로 전환되는데 중요한 역할을 하는 에너지원이다. UN산하 세계해사기구(IMO)의 MARPOL협약에 따라 선박 황산화물 배출가스규제로 LNG추진 선박에 대한 수요가 증가되고 있을 뿐만 아니라 미국의 쉐일혁명으로 LNG를 수출함에 따라 공급의 변화가 급격하게 이뤄지고 있다. 과거 국가 주도의 프로젝트 성격이 강한 LNG 운송시장은 장기정기용선계약이 대부분이었으나 수요와 공급시장의 급격한 변화로 스팟시장의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 LNG 운송시장에서 시장참여자들의 스팟거래에 합리적인 의사결정이 이뤄지도록 과학적인 예측방법을 제시하고자 한다. LNG 스팟운임 예측에 기계학습모델 중 인공신경망 모델을 적용할 것이며 기존의 시계열분석 방법인 ARIMA모델과 비교하여 본문에서 제시된 모델의 예측성능의 우수성을 확인하였다. 본 논문은 LNG 스팟운임을 다룬 최초의 연구로서 학문적인 차별성이 기대된다.

thermodynamic cycle analysis has been performed for the power generation systems to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The power cycle used the air or water at room temperature as a heat source and the LNG at cryogenic temperature as a heat sink. Among manypossible configurations of the cycle. the open Rankine cycle. and the closed Brayton cycle, and the closed Rankine cycle are selected for the basic analysis because of their practical importance. The power output per unit mass of LNG has been analytically calculated for various design parameters such as the pressure ratio. the mass flow rate. the adiabatic efficiency. the heat exchanger effectiveness. or the working fluid. The optimal conditions for the parameters are presented to maximize the power output and the design considerations are discussed. It is concluded that the open Rankine cycle is the most recormmendable both in thermodynamic efficency and in practice.

As an LNG carrier preserves and transports liquefied natural gas under minus $163^{\circ}C$, the cargo tank has to have sufficient hull strength against not only the wave loads but also against loads caused by loading and unloading and thermal expansion to keep the LNG safely. The main insulation types for a CCS are No.96 and Mark III from GTT for the membrane LNG carrier. Particularly, the invar membrane plate in No.96 is very thin and its connections could experience high local stresses owing to such dynamic loads. Therefore, it should be verified whether those connections have sufficient fatigue lives for the purpose of operation and maintenance. This research aims at performing fatigue analysis with 0.1 fatigue damage criteria for 40 years of design life to support new membrane CCS development using proper S-N curves and the associated finite element modeling technique for each connection and then propose a reasonable design methodology.

To ensure structural integrity of membrane type LNG tank, the rational assessment of the sloshing impact responses of tank structures should be preceded. The sloshing impact pressures acting on the insulation system of LNG tank are typical irregular loads and the resulting structural responses show very complex behaviors accompanied with fluid structure interaction. So it is not easy to estimate them accurately and immense time consuming calculation process would be necessary. In this research, a simplified method to analyse the dynamic structural responses of LNG tank insulation system under pressure time histories obtained by sloshing model test or numerical analysis was studied. The proposed technique based on the concept of linear combination of the triangular response functions which are the transient responses of structures under the unit triangular impact pressure acting on structures. The validity of suggested method was verified through the example calculations and applied to the dynamic structural response analysis of a real Mark III membrane type insulation system using the sloshing impact pressure time histories obtained by model test.

The purpose of installation of the brine heating system for LNG storage tank is the prevention of ground freezing. If the ground of LNG tank areas is frozen, it is caused by safety problems. The design of brine heating system for LNG storage tank which is constructing in our country is not well considered about domestic weather conditions and economical efficiency. Therefore, this paper reports on the study of the optimized temperature of inside pipes and cooling process through the transient analysis by using the existing brine heating system.

Safety issues for LNG(Liquified Natural Gas) terminal or LNG tank involve various concerns such as production/transportation at cryogenic temperature of $-160^{\circ}C$, large volume of handling, flammability and explosion risk. Hence, in designing an LNG terminal rigid safety criteria and mandatory requirements are unavoidable. Since known cases of LNG related accident are very few, careful study and root cause analysis of them are very important and provide precious information to increase safety level of the LNG terminal. In this paper most key accident cases were gathered and analysed to understand fundamental safety issues of LNG terminal to prevent further accident.

The low caloric LNG, which didn't meet the gas interchangeability of Korea, has been imported from 2005 winter season. Amount of this LNG imports has been increased from year to year. In the near future, very low caloric LNG (calorific value ${\leq}$ 9,500 kcal/$Nm^3$) such as CBM, Shale LNG will be imported large amounts. For this reason, we need a method for monitoring live calorific values(CV) of LNG in each storage tank to supply gasified LNG with interchangeable CV at LNG receiving terminal. This study was conducted to develope the method for measuring the live CVs of LNG in each storage tank using LNG densitometer. For this purpose, the accurate correlation between CV and density of LNG was derived and the uncertainty of this method was evaluated and also the measuring system for CVs was constructed at LNG receiving terminal. To verify this method, the results of measurement using this method were compared with the field data of LNG analysis and the results showed that the deviations were 0.17~0.47%.

Fatigue analysis for life extension of a ship is different from that of a newly constructed ship since the current corrosion margin and voyage routes of the past and future must be considered, thereby complicating the life extension procedure. This research introduces the fatigue analysis case for the life extension project of a moss LNG carrier using full spectral fatigue analysis, which has been previously used for newly constructed ships. It is expected that the fatigue analysis methodologies and full spectral fatigue analysis program used in this study will be applicable to other life extension projects.
