North Anatolian Fault Zone is tectonically active with recent earthquakes (Mw7.6 1999-Kocaeli and Mw7.2 1999-Düzce earthquakes) and it passes through Marmara region, which is highly industrialized, densely populated and economically important part of Turkey. Many power plants, located in Marmara region, are exposed to high seismic hazard. In this study, open source OpenQuake software has been used for the probabilistic earthquake hazard analysis of Marmara region and risk assessment for the specified energy facility. The SHARE project seismic zonation model has been used in the analysis with the regional sources, NGA GMPEs and site model logic trees. The earthquake hazard results have been compared with the former and existing earthquake resistant design regulations in Turkey, TSC 2007 and TBSCD 2018. In the scope of the study, the seismic hazard assessment for a typical natural gas combined cycle power plant located in Marmara region has been achieved. The seismic risk assessment has been accomplished for a typical control building located in the power plant using obtained seismic hazard results. The structural and non-structural fragility functions and a consequence model have been used in the seismic risk assessment. Based on the seismic hazard level with a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years, considered for especially these type of critical structures, the ratios of structural and non-structural loss to the total building cost were obtained as 8.8% and 45.7%, respectively. The results of the study enable the practical seismic risk assessment of the critical facility located on different regions.

Heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) is a principal component of the combined cycle power plant (CCPP) which utilizes the waste energy of the gas turbine exhaust gas. A design of the HRSG is a keypoint to achieve high cycle efficiency with competitive cost. This paper presents a brief review on the design of a HRSG which covers the basic design parameters and their effects on the performance and the investment cost. Finally the concept of the optimum design point is presented according to the selection of a pinch point temperature difference and a steam pressure as an illustrated case.

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant converts coal to syngas, which is mainly composed with hydrogen and carbon monoxide, by the gasification process and produces electric power by the gas and steam turbine combined cycle power plant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of gasification process to type and structure of gasifier. For this purpose, the performance characteristics of gasification reaction are analyzed with the operation characteristic of pilot-scale 2-stage coal gasifier. It is found that gasification reaction, floating characteristic of melted slag, particle stick of inside of the gasifier, particle stick and deposit of Syngas cooler are the causes in the different performance characteristics.

본 연구에서는 태안석탄가스화복합발전을 대상으로 대기온도에 따른 출력 및 열효율 변화를 제작사의 기본설계자료와 대기온도별 성능보정계수를 이용하여 계산하였으며, 하계 및 동계 대표지점에서 실제 성능을 측정하고 그 결과를 계산값과 비교하여 타당성을 확인하였다. 열효율은 $15^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 가장 높고 이보다 저온이나 고온에서는 낮아지는데 이는 천연가스복합발전과 유사하였으나, 상대적으로 고온구간에서는 공기분리장치의 소비동력증가로 열효율이 급격히 하강하였다. 또한 출력은 $5{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 가장 높고 $5^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 거의 일정하게 유지되며 $15^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 하락한다. 저온에서 출력이 증가하지 않는 이유는 가스터빈 연소기 질소주입에 따른 유량 증가로 축의 토크 제한이 작동하기 때문이다. 향후 성능향상을 위해서는 하계에 발전출력향상 및 공기분리장치 소비동력 저감 등의 노력이 필요하다.

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.

This paper outlines how the on-line performance monitoring system can be used to improve the efficiency and maintenance of the equipments. And a method of the heat rate allocation to each equipment was suggested to monitor the performance of combined cycle power plants. This calculates the expected heat rate of current conditions and compares it with actual values. Loss allocation in heat rate is reconciled by calculating the magnitude of the deficiency contributed by major components, such as the gas turbine, heat recovery steam generator, steam turbine and condenser. Expected power output is determined by a detailed model and correction curves of the plant. This simulation models are found to reproduce high accuracy in behavior of the cycle for various operating conditions, both in design and in off-design condition. Errors are lower than 2% in most cases.

This simulation method is developed by using GateCycle code for the performance evaluation of the gas turbine in IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) power plant that uses clean coal gas fuel derived from coal gasification and gas clean-up processes and it is integrated with ASU(Air Separation Unit). In the present simulation method, thermodynamic calculation procedure is incorporated with compressor performance map and expander choking models for considering the off-design effects due to coal gas firing and ASU integration. With the clean coal gases produced through commercially available chemical processes, their compatibility as IGCC gas turbine fuel is investigated in the aspects the overall performance of the gas turbine system. The predictions by the present method show that the reduction of the air extraction from gas turbine to ASU results in a remarkable increase in the efficiency and net power of gas turbines, but it is accompanied with a shift of compressor operation point toward to surge limit. In addition, the present analysis results reveal the influence of compressor performance characteristics of gas turbine have to be carefully examined in designing the ASU integration process and evaluating the overall performance parameters of the gas turbine in IGCC Power plant.
