G8 summit meeting held in July 2008 decided to set up a long-term goal, by 2050, reducing the world greenhouse emissions by half of those emitted in 1990. In November 2009, the Government announced to reduce the national $CO_2$ emission by 30[%] of BAU by 2020. Electric power industries in Korea produce most of their electricity by burning fossil fuels, and emit approximately 28[%] of national $CO_2$ emissions. Monitoring the $CO_2$ emissions. Monitoring the $CO_2$ emission of electric power plants is very important. This paper presents a method to calculate the hourly $CO_2$ emission for a thermal power plant burning mixture of coal and oil using the performance test data and coal-oil mix rate. An example of $CO_2$ emission calculation is also demonstrated.

The Jeju power grid experienced several major power disturbances over the last decade. The postmortem studies of the incidents indicated that some of the generating units did not respond as predicted by system analysis & studies. Consequently, the Korean Power Exchange (KPX) mandated that all units (generators, excitation, governor and turbine systems) in the Korean network greater than or equal to 20MVA be tested to verify the generator reactive power limits as well as the dynamic model data being used for system studies. This paper presents field experiences of the authors in testing and modeling of steam turbines and their associated governors during the generator and model validation.

The intermittent electric power supply of renewable energy can have extremely negative effect on power grid, so long-term and large-scale storage for energy released from renewable energy source is required for ensuring a stable supply of electric power. Power to gas which can convert and store the surplus electric power as hydrogen through water electrolysis is being actively studied in response to increasing supply of renewable energy. In this paper, we proposed the novel concept of hydrogen liquefaction process combined with pre-cooling process using the liquid air. It is that hydrogen converted from surplus electric power of renewable energy was liquefied through the hydrogen liquefaction process and vaporization heat of liquid hydrogen was conversely recovered to liquid air from ambient air. Moreover, Comparisons of specific energy consumption (kWh/kg) saved for using the liquid air pre-cooling was quantitatively conducted through the performance analysis. Consequently, about 12% of specific energy consumption of hydrogen liquefaction process was reduced with introducing liquid air for pre-cooling and optimal design point of helium Brayton cycle was identified by sensitivity analysis on change of compression/expansion ratio.

This study presents an operational technique to maximize the profit of a cogeneration power plant under cost-based pool power market. In benefit side energy sale profit, heat sale profit, and supplementary fund profit for electric power industry are included and the changeable cost was considered in cost side. The profit of a cogeneration power plant is varied enormously by the operation conditions, and constraint conditions. The result of this case study can be used as a reference to a cogeneration power plant under the same power trading system.

Super-critical type steam power plant, which operates with steam pressure above the super-critical point, has a good reputation recently and is adopted as a new standard of the Korean Electric Power Corporation. The reason for the good reputation lies in it's superior power efficiency. However, the field data of the new power plant for the verification of it's performance are still insufficient, and more empirical data are needed to acquire technologies on the effective operation of it. In this study, the authors analyzed the field test data on power efficiencies got in a super-critical type steam power plant, and evaluated the excellency of the new plant by comparing the efficiency data with the one got in a conventional sub-critical type steam power plant.

Based on social welfare maximum theory, the optimal scale of power plants entering generation power market being is researched. A static non-cooperative game model for short-term optimization of power plants with different cost is presented. And the equilibrium solutions and the total social welfare are obtained. According to principle of maximum social welfare selection, the optimization model is solved, optimal number of power plants entering the market is determined. The optimization results can not only increase the customer surplus and improve power production efficiency, but also sustain normal profits of power plants and scale economy of power production, and the waste of resource can also be avoided. At last, case results show that the proposed model is efficient.

표준형 원자력발전소에서는 원자로 내의 핵연료 봉으로부터 발생하는 열에너지를 열교환기인 증기발생기로 전달하는 원자로냉각재 계통이 있다. 핵연료 봉을 적절한 냉각 상태로 유지하기 위하여 원자로냉각재의 온도와 압력뿐만 아니라 체적을 제어하고 있다. 원자로냉각재 체적은 용량이 큰 반면에 제어하는 밸브의 크기는 작아서 제어 응답이 길어서 현장에서 경험적으로 튜닝하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 체적제어루프의 수학적인 모델링을 통하여 오프라인으로 최적 제어 파라미터를 찾고, 실제 적용한 결과를 보여준다. 제어루프 모델링을 위하여 일반화 프로세서 모델 식으로부터 실제 운전 데이터로 모델 파라미터를 결정하는 경험적 방법을 사용하였다. 이로부터 구한 제어 파라미터를 실제 적용한 결과, 적절한 제어 응답을 얻었으며 모델링 과정이 적절하였음을 확인하였다.

The present paper describes the slagging field data obtained with the one-dimensional process model for the 500 MW tangentially coal fired boiler in Korea. To obtain slagging field data in terms of thermal resistances [$m^2{\cdot}^{\circ}C/kW$], a number of plant data were collected and analyzed with the one-dimensional modelling software at 500 MW full load. The slagging field data for the primary superheater were obtained for six coal blends, and compared with two TMA (Thermo-Mechanical analyzer) slagging indices and the numerical slagging index, along with the conventional slagging indices which were modified with the ash loading. The advanced two TMA indices for six blended coals give a good slagging tendency when comparing them with the slagging field data, while the modified conventional slagging indices give a relatively poor agreement.
