  • 지구온난화에 따른 대체에너지 자원확보가 국가적으로 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있고 여러 대체에너지원 중 국내의 해양에너지는 잠재량이 매우 높다. 여러 해양에너지 중에서 빠른 흐름을 이용하는 조류발전은 서해안과 남해안에 적용하기에 적합하며 해양환경을 보존하면서 많은 에너지를 생산할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 조류발전에서 1차적으로 에너지를 변환시키는 로터는 주요한 장치중의 하나로 여러 변수에 의해 그 성능이 결정된다. 로터의 블레이드 수, 형상, 단면적, 허브, 직경 등 여러 요소를 고려하여 설계되어야 한다. 또한 조류발전을 적용하는 해양환경에서 최대 출력을 생산할 수 있는 로터가 적용될 수 있도록 블레이드의 후류 영향을 고려해야한다. 본 논문에서는 날개요소이론을 바탕으로 수평축 조류발전 터빈을 설계하여 실험 및 유동해석을 통해 성능을 평가하고, 후류에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

  • 세계는 지금 지구 온난화 및 화석연료의 고갈로 인해 대체 에너지 자원의 확보문제가 급속히 대두되고 있다. 이에 조류발전은 오염이 발생하지 않는 친환경 에너지원으로서, 날씨나 계절에 상관없이 항상 발전할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 에너지이며, 높은 밀도를 가지는 작동유체가 수차에 미치는 영향 또한 크므로 지속적으로 예측이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 조류에너지는 실 해역에 적용하기 위해서는 전격유효 전력이 생산 가능한 지리적 요인에 대한 고찰과 더불어 조류발전 터빈의 개념설계가 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구는 다양한 설치 공간을 형성할 수 있으며, 장, 단점이 보완될 수 있는 조류발전 터빈의 개념설계 연구 단계로서, 내부 유동 특성을 고려하여 입구를 설계하였으며, 일정한 속도로 유입되는 유량을 노즐의 장착을 통해 에너지 밀도를 높일 수 있게 된다. 이러한 개념형상 설계로 추가 작동이나, 장치의 사용 없이 양방향 발전이 가능해 진다.

  • Tidal power can use conventional technology to extract energy from the tides. It is usually best deployed in areas where there i s a high tical range which includes Western and Southern coastal areas in Korea. However, to extract tical energy, a barrage across an estuary or a bay is to be constructed that is now very hard due to severe environmental impact on local estuary. The recent technology of application of tidal stream provides a new window to extract power minimizing the adverse environmental impact Tidal stream technology which directly exploits these currents is relatively new but is presently generating considerable interest Turbine rotors can be used to extract energy from the flows. Prototype devices currently on test in the UK include the 300kW SeaFlow turbine. In this paper, the recent technology and research on ocean tical stream power are addressed

  • Tidal current power system is the energy converter which converts the kinetic energy of tidal stream into electric energy. The performance of the rotor which initially converts the energy is determined by various design factors and it should be optimized by the ocean environment of the field. Flow direction changes due to rise and fall of the tides, but horizontal axis turbine is very sensitive to direction of flow. To investigate the rotor performance considering the interaction problems with incidence angle of flow, series of experiments have been conducted. The results and findings are summarized in the paper.

  • Many suggestions is offered to resolve global warming. Tidal current generation is producing power by switched tidal difference sea water horizontal fluid flow produced by tidal difference using rotor and generator. So, change the angle of inflow condition due to the entrance of efficiency are considered. We therefore investigated three dimensional flow analysis and performance evaluation using commercial ANSYS-CFX code for horizontal axis turbine. Then We also studied three dimensional flow characteristics of a rotating rotor and blade surface streamlines around a rotor. As a result, Cp was highest at TSR 5.5, especially the larger changes in the angle of inflow condition decreased efficiency.

  • This paper describes a partial discharge (PD) on-line monitoring system used for large turbine generators. The system consists of a broadband current transducer, a computer-aid PD measurement system. By using a programmable fabricate band pass filter and an adaptive digital filter, the system can suppress the noise and extract PD signal from the intense noise surroundings successfully. Two simulated PD sources, which often exist in the large generators, were simulated and detected. At the end of this paper, some field test results, obtained from a 200MW generating set, were presented and discussed.

  • This paper describes the initial characteristics of turbine generators at the Taean thermal power plant #4 and Wolsong nuclear power plant #2. The turbine generators had been in service for two years. The insulation diagnostic tests included measurements of insulation resistance, polarization index, ac current, dissipation factor($tan{\delta}$) and partial discharges (PD). The values of ac current and tan a were measured by Schering bridge. PD measurements were conducted using digital PD detector. The variation of $tan{\delta}$ and PD was confirmed in two generator stator insulations.

  • The current study has developed an in-house 3D FEM code in order to model thermoacoustic problems in a gas turbine combustion system and compared calculation results of main instability characteristics with measured ones from a lab-scale partially-premixed combustor. From the comparison of calculation results with the measured data, the current model could successfully capture the harmonic longitudinal instability frequencies and their spatial distributions of the acoustic field as well as the growth rate of self-excited modes.

  • Wind farm interconnected with grid can supply the power into a power network not only the normal conditions, but also the fault conditions of distribution network. If the fault happened in the distribution power line with wind fm, the fault current level measured in a relaying point might be lower than that of distribution network without wind turbine generator due to the contribution of wind farm. Consequently, it may be difficult to detect the fault happened in the distribution network connected with wind generator This paper describes the effect of the interconnected wind turbine generators on protective relaying of distribution power lines and detection of the fault occurred in a power line network. Simulation results shows that the current level of fault happened in the power line with wind farm depends on the fault impedance, the fault location. the output of wind farm. and the load condition of distribution network.

  • In this paper, a fault diagnosis method based on fuzzy logic for the three-parallel power converter in a wind turbine system is presented. The method can not only detect both open and short faults but can also identify faulty switching devices without additional voltage sensors or an analysis modeling of the system. The location of a faulty switch can be indicated by six-patterns of a stator current vector and the fault switching device detection is achieved by analyzing the current vector. A fault tolerant algorithm is also presented to maintain proper performance under faulty conditions. The reliability of the proposed fault detection technique has been proven by simulations and experiments with a 10kW simulator.
