The feed-water piping system constitutes a complex flow impedance network incorporating dynamic transfer characteristics which will amplify some pulsation frequencies. Understanding pressure pulsation waves for the feed-water recirculation piping system with cavitation problem of flow control valve is very important to prevent acoustic resonance. Feed water recirculation piping system is excited by potential sources of the shock pulse waves by cavitation of flow control valve. The pulsation becomes the source of structural vibration at the piping system. If it coincides with the natural frequency of the pipe system, excessive vibration results. High-level vibration due to the pressure pulsation affects the reliability of the plant piping system. This paper discusses the piping vibration due to the effect of shock pulsation by the cavitation of the flow control valves for the recirculation piping of feed-water pump system in combined cycle power plants.

The purpose of this paper is to present the pressuremeter test result and analysis for Yulchon Combined Cycle Power Plant(CCPP) site. The CCPP site is old backfill area with the hillcut materials obtained from the borrow sources near the mountains. The geology of this area consists of 6-layers from the ground level such as hillcut material, dredged clay fill, silty sand, original marine clay, weathered rock, soft rock, etc.. The pressuremeter test has been carried out with three different probe, in size and membrane type for all layers except the clay layers. The cone penetration test has been also carried out to collaborate with the pressuremeter test in the hillcut material layer.

Ash included in coal can cause environmental pollution and it can decrease efficiency of mass and heat transfer by getting scorched and stick in the facilities operated at high temperature. To solve this problem, a feasibility study on pulverized coal fired power plant and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) using the AFC (Ash-Free Coal) as well as the development to remove the ash from the coal was conducted. In this research, optimization of operating condition was proposed by using sensitivity analysis of ASPEN $Plus^{(R)}$ to apply the coal containing under the 200 ppm ash for integrated gasification combined cycle. Particularly, the coal gasification process was classified as three parts : pyrolysis process, volatile matter combustion process and char gasification process. The dimension and operating condition of 1.5 ton/day class non-slagging gasifier are reflected in the coal gasification process model.

In this study, repowering scenarios are analyzed and evaluated from the economical point of view on a case by case basis. Based on the result of evaluation, the IRR indicates 2.34% on single 750 MW LNG combined cycle unit, 3.56% on 500 MW sub-bituminous PC units and 2.31% on 200 MW circulating fluidized bed combustion units, resulting in not reaching 7% rate of discount rate and being concluded uneconomical. However, proposes that it is most economical and feasible to repower power plant into 750 MW LNG combined cycle unit as long as the economic feasibility can be improved and it is necessary for old anthracite power plant to be repowered than rebuilt under the circumstances of lacking power supply.

This study aims to suggest the improved business process by analyzing the current design process on work flow of the 3D design of power plant, drawing a problems and setting the improving direction through the integration method of the business process reengineering(BPR). In order to realize the improved business process, the integrated design performance system focused on the 3D design was established and accordingly the study analyzed cases of project performances through the integration system and drew the improved effects quantitatively. In the result of the project performance applied with the 3D design integration system, it showed 20.4% design cost saving effect for appropriate rated cost and the integration of design information from each design parts, sub contracters and vendors reduced overlapped works and improved the consistency of repeated design alteration.

IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) plants are among the most advanced and effective systems for electric energy generation. From a control perspective, IGCC plants represent a significant challenge: complex reactions, highly integrated control to simultaneously satisfy production, controllability, operability and environmental objectives. While all these requirements seem clearly to demand a multivatiable, model predictive approach, not many applications can be easily found in the literature. This paper describes the IGCC dynamic simulation that is capable of simulating plant startup, shutdown, normal, and abnormal operation and engineering studies. This high fidelity dynamic models contain the detailed process design data to produce realistic responses to process operation and upset. And the simulation is used by engineers to evaluate the transient performance and produce graphical information indicating the response of the process under study conditions.

The dynamic behavior of a single-pressure heat recovery steam generator and turbine system for the combined cycle power plant is simulated on the basis of one-dimensional unsteady governing equations. A water level control and a turbine power control are also included in the calculation routine. Transient response of the system to the variation of gas turbine exit condition is simulated and effect of the turbine power control on the system response is examined. In addition, the effect of the treatment of inertia terms(fluid inertia and thermal inertia of heat exchanger metal) on the simulated transient response is investigated.

This work is experimental study of 10 kW specialized Combined Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion. We propose a C-OTEC technology that directly uses exhaust thermal energy from power station condensers to heat the working fluid (R134a), and tests the feasibility of such power station by designing, manufacturing, installing, and operating a 10 kW-pilot facility. Power generation status was monitored by using exhaust thermal energy from an existing power plant located on the east coast of the Korean peninsula, heat exchange with 300 kW of heat capacity, and a turbine, which can exceed enthalpy efficiency of 45%. Output of 8.5 kW at efficiency of 3.5% was monitored when the condenser temperature and seawater temperature are $29^{\circ}C$ and $7.5^{\circ}C$, respectively. The evaluation of the impact of large-capacity C-OTEC technology on power station confirmed the increased value of the technology on existing power generating equipment by improving output value and reducing hot waste water. Through the research result, the technical possibility of C-OTEC has been confirmed, and it is being conducted at 200 kW-class to gain economic feasibility. Based on the results, authors present an empirical study result on the 200 kW C-OTEC design and review the impact on power plant.

Integration methods of a Gas Turbine and a Air Separation Unit have a potential to improve plant performance and cost of IFCC. Several studies on those integrations schemes were carried out. Then some of the methods were accually in commercial plants. Thus paper reviewed the integration schemes of a Gas Turbine and a Air Separation Unit. In order to compare the plant performance of IGCC with each scheme, simulation model was developed for IGCC power cycle with Texaco Quench gasification process. The simulation results showed that the thermal efficiency of the plant was appeared to be the best when all of the air consumption required for Air Separation Unit was supplied from the Gas Turbine and the net plant power output was maximized when 75% of the total ASU an requirement was supplied from Gas Turbine.
