A pivotal mechanical balance of plant for 75kW class molten carbonate fuel cells comprise of a catalytic burner and an ejector which has been designed and tested in KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute). The catalytic burner, which oxidizes residual fuel in the anode tail gas, was operated at several conditions. Some problems arose due to local overheating or auto-ignition, which could limit the catalyst life. The catalytic burner was designed by considering both gas mixing and gas velocity. Test results showed that the temperature distribution is very uniform. In addition, an ejector is a fluid machinery to be utilized for mixing fluids, maintaining vacuum, and transporting them. The ejector is placed at mixing point between the anode off gas and the cathode off gas or the fresh air Several ejectors were designed and tested to form a suction on the fuel tail gas and balance the differential pressures between anode and cathode over a range of operating conditions. The tests showed that the design of the nozzle and throat played an important role in balancing the anode tail and cathode inlet gas pressures. The 75kW MCFC system built in our ejector and catalytic burner was successfully operated from Novembe, 2008 to April, 2009. It recorded the voltage of 104V at the current of 754A and reached the maximum generating power of 78.5kW DC. The results for both stand-alone and integration into another balance of plant are discussed.

The nitrogen (N) balance in Korea during 1985-1997 was calculated according to the surface balance method of the PARCOM guidelines and compared with Japanese N balance. The some differences were founded in the coefficients used on calculating N balance in two nations. Of the important parameters, which can make a big difference in balance, N input by organic fertilizers was not included in Korea different with Japanese, due to absence of reliable statistics and then made lower the input. Nitrogen destruction rate from livestock manure was adjusted differently with 15% in Korea but 28% in Japan. There was some difference in the conversion factors of livestock number into manure N quantity in two nations, but the gap was ignoble scale except beef cattle. Our manure N production rate of beef cattle might be evaluated to be so lower than Japanese. Biological N fixation by pulses was very higher in Korea than in Japan but scarcely affect the increase of total N input, due to small cultivation area. In contrast, N fixation rate by free-living organisms in Korean and Japanese wet paddies showed the big difference with 7.6 and $37.0kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, respectively, and therefore $29.4kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ of nitrogen was estimated to be more inputted in Japan. Although there are many points to be more specified and improved, still, Korean N balance was very high with $250-257kg\;ha^{-1}$ in the mid of 1990s, which was the second highest level in OECD countries and furthermore increased continuously during the investigation. In contrast in Japan, which has similar fanning system with Korea, N balance was lower with $130-158kg\;ha^{-1}$ and has decreased continuously since 1993. This high N balance was mainly due to a high usage of chemical fertilizers in our intensive fanning system and the fast increment of livestock feeding. Therefore, the more active action to decrease chemical fertilizer utilization and reduce livestock feeding density is required in the government and farmer sides.

신에너지원으로 주목받고 있는 중질 잔사유를 기존 중유화력의 대체 연료로 사용하는 경우에 대하여 상용 해석코드로 플랜트의 에너지 및 물질 수지, 플랜트의 성능을 분석하였다. 국내 A 중유 화력발전소에 대한 플랜트 성능분석 모델을 구축하였으며 플랜트의 성능 및 효율 등에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 설계 및 실제 운전 데이터와 비교하여 그 건전성을 확인하였다. 중질 잔사유 적용에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과 출력은 315 MW로서 중유 적용시의 300 MW 보다 높게 나타났으며 플랜트 효율은 약간 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 외기온도 및 냉각수 온도, 배가스 순환량, 출력에 따른 열소비율의 민감도 분석으로부터 중질 잔사유 연소시의 최적 운전을 위한 기본 자료를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, the combustion characteristics were investigated based on the biodrying solid recovered fuel (SRF) in a 5 Ton/day scale combustion boiler. The composition of the combustion gas containing the biodrying SRF was analyzed, the particulate matter, and its HCl content was determined with the air pollutant process test method. Mass balance, carbon balance, and combustion efficiency were calculated according to the equivalence ratio (ER) method; the energy recovery efficiency of the combustion boiler was also analyzed. The overall combustion efficiency of the biodrying SRF was 97.3 % and the energy recovery efficiency was 80.2%.

Many developing countries considering the introduction of nuclear power find that large-scale reactor plants in the range of 1,000 MWe to 1,600 MWe are not grid appropriate for their current circumstance. By contrast, small modular reactors are generally too small to make significant contributions toward rapidly growing electricity demand and to date have not been demonstrated. This paper proposes a radically simplified re-design for the nuclear steam cycle for a medium-sized reactor plant in the range of 600 MWe. Historically, balance of plant designs for units of this size have emphasized reliability and efficiency. It will be demonstrated here that advances over the past 50 years in component design, materials, and fabrication techniques allow both of these goals to be met with a less complex design. A disciplined approach to reduce component count will result in substantial benefits in the life cycle cost of the units. Specifically, fabrication, transportation, construction, operations, and maintenance costs and expenses can all see significant reductions. In addition, the design described here can also be expected to significantly reduce both construction duration and operational requirements for maintenance and inspections.

고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC) 시스템은 스택과 기계적 주변 장치인 MBOP(Mechanical Balance of Plant), 그리고 전기적 주변장치인 EBOP(Electrical Balance of Plant)로 구성되어있다. SOFC는 일반적으로 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 작동되기 때문에 효율적인 열 이용 및 열 관리가 중요하다. SOFC 시스템의 MBOP에는 상온의 연료가스들을 고온으로 가열하여 스택에 유입 시기키 위한 열교환기 및 촉매연소기 등의 장치들이 필요하며, 효율적인 열관리를 위해서는 고온에서 작동하는 장치들을 한곳에 통합하여 구성하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC 시스템의 MBOP(Mechanical Balance of Pant) 중 고온부에 해당하는 촉매연소기, 열교환기 및 스택이 통합된 스택 모듈을 제작에 앞서 개념 검증을 위해 열교환기 및 촉매연소기로 이루어진 프로토타입(prototype)의 SOFC 모듈평가 장치를 제작하였다. 열교환기는 Plate형으로 총 6개로 구성되어 있으며, 연료극과 공기극 가스라인에 각각 3개씩 배치하여 스택에 유입되는 연료 및 공기가 촉매연소기에서 나오는 고온의 배가스와 열교환되어 가열되도록 구성하였다. 촉매연소기는 honeycomb 타입의 촉매를 사용하였고, 촉매연소기로 유입되는 연료극 배가스와 공기의 균일혼합과 hot spot을 방지하기 위한 장치를 삽입하여 제작하였다. 제작된 SOFC 모듈평가장치는 시운전을 통해 각 장치의 성능 확인 후 반응면적이 $20{\times}20cm^2$ 인 단전지를 적층하여 연계 운전을 수행하였다.

This paper describes nonlinear 4th order models for a natural circulation drum-boiler. The models lire derived from energy balance and mass balance principles. They can be characterized by a few physical parameters that are easily obtained from construction data. The models also require steam tables for a limited operating range, which can be approximated by polynomials. The models have been validated against real plant operating data.
