This study evaluates the performance of a coil spring-viscous damper system for the vibration and seismic isolation of an Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) by measuring its operational vibration and seismic responses. The vibration performance of a coil spring-viscous damper system was evaluated by the vibration measurements for an identical EDG set with different base systems - one with an anchor bolt system and the other with a coil spring-viscous damper system. The seismic performance of the coil spring-viscous damper system was evaluated by seismic tests with a scaled model of a base-isolated EDG on a shaking table. The effects of EDG base isolation on the fragility curve and core damage frequency in a nuclear power plant were also investigated through a case study.

In general, in an emergency generator system for an electric facility including an induction motor load, an emergency power generation facility larger than the facility load capacity is built due to the initial starting current of the induction motor. In order to reduce this economic burden, various methods to reduce the inrush current of induction motors are applied to suppress the additional expansion of generators due to the reduction of power generation facilities and the increase in electrical facilities. Among these methods, when a system with a built-in soft start function of an induction motor using an inverter is built, it is the best way to reduce the inrush current of the induction motor to less than the rated current. However, in this case, the installation cost of the inverter to drive the induction motor increases. This paper proposes a soft start method of an induction motor by expanding the frequency and voltage control operation area of an emergency generator. In addition, proposed a speed calculation method based on power factor information, which is essential information for stable soft start of an induction motor, and a method for generating a speed command value of the governor for starting with maximum torque.

원자력발전소의 운전 유연성 증대, 안전성 및 경제성 향상, 정비 부담을 완화하기 위해 비상디젤발전기의 허용정지시간 연장이 요구된다. 확률론적안전성평가(probabilistic safety assessment) 기법으로 현재의 비상디젤발전기의 허용정지 시간을 3일에서 7일, 10일, 14일로 연장시 안전성 영향을 평가하였다. 종합적으로 평가결과, 비상디젤발전기의 허용정지시간 연장시 EDG 점검 또는 정비기간 중 인적실수으로 인한 발전소 불시정지 예방 및 안전성을 향상 시키는 것으로 분석되었다.

Emergency generators normally use diesel engines. The generators need to conduct weekly no-load operation inspections to ensure stable performance at emergency situations. In particular, the generators with large diesel engines mainly use rectangle type filter substrates. In order to minimize hazardous emissions generated by generators, optimizing the reduction efficiency through CFD analysis of flow characteristics of PM/NO_X reduction system is important. In this study, we analyzed internal flow by CFD, which is difficult to confirm by experimental method. The main factors in our numerical study are the changes of flow uniformity and back pressure. Therefore, changes in flow characteristics were studied according to urea injector locations, selective catalyst reduction (SCR) diffuser angle, and filter porosity.

본 논문에서는 소방전원 및 소방전원 부족시 용량 보완을 위한 인터록 시스템의 한계점 등을 분석하고 소방전원 보존형 발전기(RFP)의 작동방법 등을 제시하여 화재와 같은 상황에 효율적으로 대응할 수 있는 방법을 제시하는데 있다. 소방전원보존형 발전기에서 일괄제어방식은 발전기에 과부하가 걸리면 소방전원보존용 제어기에서 신호를 발신하여 소방부하는 남겨두고 비상부하용 주차단기를 일괄 차단하고, 발전기가 마지막까지 소방부하에 전원이 공급되도록 한 시스템이다. 순차제어방식은 과부하가 걸리면 소방전원보존용 제어기에서 1차 신호를 발신하여 설정된 비상부하의 1단계 부하를 차단한다. 그리고 지속적인 감시 상태에서 소방부하가 증가하여 발전기가 다시 과부하가 걸리면 제어기에서 2차 신호가 발신하여 비상부하의 2단계 부하를 차단하는 시스템이며 각각의 작동 상태를 표시하는 표시장치를 가진다.

The purpose of this paper is to present a model for operating an emergency power system(EPS) that can secure a sufficient power supply used in case of a fire by analyzing the status of power supplies for emergency and firefighting operations. Investigations on the one of the causes of the operational failure of firefighting systems show evidence of EPS. Generally, when power to a building is interrupted, EPS supplies the emergency load(excepted firefighting load) first. When a power outage and a fire occur simultaneously, the EPS must be able to supply both the emergency load and the firefighting load, especially the firefighting load to the end. However, in order to save construction costs, emergency power generators in apartment, commercial, and business buildings can satisfy only one of the required loads. In cases like this, when a power outage and a fire occur simultaneously, there is a danger of firefighting equipment not operating due to insufficient power supply from the emergency generator. Therefore, an EPS must have a reserved firefighting power that can supply both the firefighting and the emergency load. Such EPS, when faced with a danger of an overload, will shut down the supply to all or part of the emergency load, thus securing a continuous power supply to the firefighting equipment. The generator power system with reserved firefighting power (RFP) will also have an indicator to show that the selective control is being used. General power generation systems for emergency load and firefighting load were found to have a demand factor of 50-60% with a lump. However, when installing an EPS, the builders must choose the higher demand factor suggested according to the official approval demand factor of the building.

소방용 비상발전기는 화재와 같은 비상상황에서 인명과 재산을 보호하는 소방시설에 비상전원을 공급하는 중요한 시설이다. 이러한 중요성에 따라 비상발전기는 주기적인 부하시험으로 성능과 상태를 확인하여야 한다. 비상발전기의 일반적인 부하시험 방법은 R, L, C 부하로 구성된 Load Bank를 이용하여 시험하고 있다. 최근, 비상발전기의 효율적인 부하시험을 위하여, 시험 중에 발생한 전력을 저장하였다가 전기사업자에게 판매하는 ESS 부하시험장치의 도입이 검토되고 있다. 그러나 리튬이온배터리의 높은 가격으로 인하여, ESS 부하시험장치는 기존의 Load Bank 방식보다 초기투자비가 많이 소요될 수 있어, 상용화가 어려운 실정이다. 하지만, 비상발전기의 부하시험 동안 발전된 전력의 판매를 고려하면, ESS 부하시험장치는 경제적인 사업모델이 될 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 ESS 부하시험장치의 정확한 경제성을 평가하기 위하여, ESS 부하시험장치에 충전된 전력의 판매를 고려한 비용요소와 편익요소로 구성된 경제성평가 모델링을 제시한다. 또한, 제시한 모델링을 바탕으로 ESS 부하시험장치와 Load Bank에 대한 투자회수율과 회수년도를 비교 및 분석한 결과, 전력판매를 고려할 경우 ESS 부하시험장치의 상용화가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The nuclear power plants in South Korea have been designed in accordance with the U.S. Regulatory Guide 1.60 (R.G 1.60) design spectrum of which the peak frequency range is 2-10 Hz. The characteristics of the earthquakes at the Korea nuclear power plant sites were observed to be closer to that of Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) than the R.G 1.60, which is a lower amplification in a low frequency range, and a higher amplification in a high frequency range. The possibility of failure for sensitive power plant components in the high frequency range has been considered and evaluated. In this study, in order to improve the reliability of nuclear plant and administrative control procedures, seismic tests of an emergency diesel generator (EDG) were conducted using a shaking table under both high and low frequency ranges. From the tests, oil/lubricant leaks from the bolt connections, the fuel filter and the fuel inlet were observed. Therefore, the check list of nuclear plant components after an earthquake should include bolt connections of EDG as well as anchor bolts.
