The effect of change in DFIG (doubly-fed wind power generator) rotating speed and active power on the grid was analyzed to understand the characteristics of wind power using the wind power simulator connected to the grid at Gochang Power Quality Test Center. Electric power quality improvement devices (DVR, STATCOM, SSTS) and electric power quality disturbance application devices for 22.9 kV grid are equipped at Gochang Power Quality Test Center. Induction motor and VVVF inverter were used to emulate the blade of a wind power generator, and a simulator for Cage wound induction generator and DFIG was developed. The trial line were assumed to be 20 km and 40 km in length, and variable wind speed pattern was set using wind speed data from Ducjeokdo to verify the power characteristics of the wind power generator according to rotating speed.

This study is about characteristics of generating efficiency and $NO_x$ emissions of a 30 kW gas engine generator in case of using model biogas with hydrogen addition. In this case, both generating efficiency and $NO_x$ emissions are lower than the case of using urban gas (LNG). However, generating efficiency and $NO_x$ emissions are higher than the case of using model biogas only. It means that adding hydrogen which has a high flame propagation velocity has the possibility to improve the generating efficiency, but simultaneously it is also able to increase the $NO_x$ emissions of a gas engine generator.

A dynamic economic dispatch and control method is proposed to minimize the overall generating cost for a stand-alone microgrid in DongAo Island, which is integrated with wind turbine generator, solar PV, diesel generator, battery storage, the seawater desalination system and the conventional loads. A new dispatching strategy is presented based on the ranking of component generation costs and two different control modes, in which diesel generator and battery storage alternate to act as the master power source to follow system power fluctuation. The optimal models and GA-based optimization process are given to minimize the overall system generating cost subject to the corresponding constraints and the proposed dispatch strategy. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in the stand-alone microgrid in DongAo Island, and the results provide a feasible theoretical and technical basis for optimal energy management and operation control of stand-alone microgrid.

In recent years, the induction machines are increasingly being used as self-excited induction generators (SEIG). This generator is especially widely employed for small-scale power plants driven by renewable energy sources. The application of power electronic components in the induction generator control (IGC) and the loading of SEIG using nonlinear loads will generate harmonic currents. This paper analyzes the propogation of harmonic currents on the SEIG with nonlinear loads. Transfer function method in the frequency domain is used to calculate the gain and phase angle of each harmonic current component which are generated by a nonlinear loads. Through the superposition approach, this method has also been used to analyze the propagation of harmonic currents from nonlinear load to the stator windings. The simulation for the propagation of harmonic currents for a 4 pole, 1.5 kW, 50Hz, 3.5A, Y-connected, rotor-cage SEIG with energy-saving lamps, have provided results almost the same with the experiment. It can prove that the validity of the proposed models and methods. The study results showed that the propagation of harmonic currents on the stator windings rejects high order harmonics and attenuates low order harmonics, consequently THDI diminish significantly on the stator windings.

A Slowing Down Time Spectrometer (SDTS) system is a highly efficient technique for isotopic nuclear material content analysis. SDTS technology has been used to analyze spent nuclear fuel and the pyro-processing of spent fuel. SDTS requires an external neutron source to induce the isotopic fissile fission. A high intensity neutron source is required to ensure a high for a good fissile fission. The electron linear accelerator system was selected to generate proper source neutrons efficiently. As a first step, the electron generator of an 80-keV electron gun was manufactured. In order to produce the high beam power from electron linear accelerator, a proper beam current is required form the electron generator. In this study, the beam current was measured by evaluating the performance of the electron generator. The beam current was determined by five parameters: high voltage at the electron gun, cathode voltage, pulse width, pulse amplitude, and bias voltage at the grid. From the experimental results under optimal conditions, the high voltage was determined to be 80 kV, the pulse width was 500 ns, and the cathode voltage was from 4.2 V to 4.6 V. The beam current was measured as 1.9 A at maximum. These results satisfy the beam current required for the operation of an electron linear accelerator.

A 500Wh class high-speed Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) driven by a built-in BLDC motor/generator has been designed, which runs from 30000 to 60000rpm nominally. Due to the motor/generator inside, the flywheel rotor made of composites supported by PM/EM hybrid bearing system has a shape of bell or pendulum and thus requires accurate rotordynamic analysis and prediction of its dynamic behavior to secure the operating reliability. Rotordynamic analyses of the flywheel rotor-bearing system revealed that the bell shaped rotor has two conical rigid-body modes in the system operating range and the first conical mode, of which nodal point lies in the radial EM bearing position, can adversely affect the dynamic response of the rotor at the corresponding critical speed. To eliminate the possibility of wild behavior of the rotor, two guide bearings are adopted at the upper end of the rotor and motor/generator. It was also revealed that the EM bearing stiffness if 0.5~1.0E+6 N/m and damping of 2000 Ns/m are favirable for smooth operation of the system around the 2nd critical speed.

증기발생기 수위제어를 위한 자기동조 예측제어기법을 제안하였다. 제어기설계시 측정 가능한 앞되먹임 신호에 대한 고려와 비선형계통이나 시변계통에 적용하기 위해 적응형으로 유도한 것이 제안된 제어기의 특징이다. 이러한 이유로 제안된 제어기는 계통의 동특성에 직접 영향을 주는 앞되먹임 신호가 존재하고, 시간이나 동작조건에 따라 계통의 계수가 변하는 계통에 적용 가능하다. 제안된 제어기의 성능을 검증하기 위해 웨스팅하우스형의 증기발생기 모델을 이용하여 모의실험을 수행하였다. 모의실험 결과 기존의 비례-적분제어기 보다 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

Concerns over reliability assessments of the main components in nuclear power plants (NPPs) related to aging and continuous operation have increased. The conventional reliability assessment for main components uses experimental correlations under general conditions. Most NPPs have been operating in Korea for a long time, and it is predictable that NPPs operating for the same number of years would show varying extent of aging and degradation. The conventional reliability assessment does not adequately reflect the characteristics of an individual plant. Therefore, the reliability of individual components and an individual plant was estimated according to operating data and conditions. It is essential to reflect aging as a characteristic of individual NPPs, and this is performed through prognostics. To handle this difficulty, in this paper, the general path model/Bayes, a data-based prognostic method, was used to update the reliability estimated from the generic database. As a case study, the authors consider the aging for steam generator tubes in NPPs and demonstrate the suggested methodology with data obtained from the probabilistic algorithm for the steam generator tube assessment program.

기존의 풍력발전시스템은 풍속이 감소되면 블레이드가 저속으로 회전하기 때문에 보조발전의 도움이 없이는 자가 발전이 어려워서 한정된 풍속 조건에서만 작동이 가능하며, 풍속의 특성 때문에 풍력에너지의 이용효율이 대부 분 매우 낮다는 문제점이 있다 이와 같은 종래의 문제점을 해결하고 지역이나 지형에 크게 구애됨이 없이 풍속에 의해 발전이 이루어지다가 풍속의 저하로 출력된 전력이 적어지면 태엽에 저장된 회전에너지로 소형발전기를 운전 하여 축전지에 전력을 저장하여 부하에 전력을 연속적으로 공급하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 동력저장장치와 풍력발전기로 구성된 시스템을 설계 제작하여 풍력발전의 보상을 위한 동력저장 장치 시스템의 동작 특성을 분석하였다.

쿼드-틸트프롭(QTP) 무인기의 직렬-하이브리드 방식 동력시스템을 설계하고 특성을 분석하였다. 동력시스템은 4.5kW급 로터리엔진-발전기 장치를 기본으로 리튬-배터리를 동력원으로 사용하며, 동력제어기가 비행체가 필요로 하는 전체적인 동력을 제어하고 공급한다. 엔진의 출력은 발전기 구동 및 발전 효율과 배터리의 충전과 방전에 따른 손실을 고려하여 발전기 성능과 매칭된다. 배터리에 저장된 에너지와 통합 제어해서 전체적인 연료소모율을 최소화하도록 엔진-발전기의 정속(Constant Speed) 운용개념이 적용되며, 결과적으로 배터리의 용량과 특성, 그리고 충전과 방전 사이클이 효율 향상에 중요한 요소로 작용할 수 있다.
