In order to transmit energy generated through the stator winding of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), we need to synchronize the generated voltage vector with the grid voltage vector. However, the existing synchronization methods work only when the encoder is installed at a specific position and equivalent constant is precise. In order to solve this problem, a new synchronization method has been proposed and a way of applying the method to existing doubly-fed induction generator control algorithm has been also proposed. The validities of the methods proposed were verified by using a prototype converter for a 1.5MW-class doubly-fed induction generator and experimental results showed the validity of that against variation of an encoder positions, generator parameters, and grid voltages.

Recently worldwide concern and research is being actively conducted on green energy which can reduce environmental pollution. A plant such as the natural rapeseed oil, soybean oil, palm, etc. is used as a bio source in home and industry. Biofuels is a sustainable fuel having economically benefits and decreasing environmental pollution problems caused due to fossil fuel, and it can be applied to the conventional diesel engine without changing the existing institutional structure. Waste vegetable oil contains a high cetane number and viscosity component, the low carbon and oxygen content. A lot of research is progressing about the conversion of waste vegetable oil as renewable clean energy. In this study, waste oil was prepared to waste cooking oil generated from the living environment, and applied to diesel engine to confirm the possibility and cost-effectiveness of biodiesel blend waste oil. As a result, brake specific fuel consumption and NOx was increased, carbon monoxide and soot was decreased.

A process flowsheet simulation model based on ASPEN PLUS was developed to investigate the effect of co-gasification of coal and rice husk on the gasifier performance and pollutant emissions in IGCC power plant. The analyses were done for an 02-blown, pulverized gasifier using coal and rice husk as feedstock, parameter employed the blending ratio of rice husk in coal were investigated. From the simulation results, it was found that gaseous pollutant emissions were reduced substantially with the increase of the blending ratio of rice husk. An optimum range between 15% and 25% rice husk-to-coal ratio was found to be the optimum point in terms of gaseous pollutant emission per energy output for sui fur and nitrogen compounds.

In this study, a hierarchical switching control scheme based on robust control theory is proposed for tracking control of vehicle longitudinal acceleration in the presence of large uncertainties. A model set consisting of four multiplicative-uncertainty models is set up, and its corresponding controller set is designed by the LMI approach, which can ensures the robust performance of the closed loop system under arbitray switching. Based on the model set and the controller set, a switching index function by estimating the system gain of the uncertainties between the plant and the nominal model is designed to determine when and which controller should be switched into the closed loop. After theoretical analyses, experiments have also been carried out to validate the proposed control algorithm. The results show that the control system has good performance of robust stability and tracking ability in the presence of large uncertainties. The response time is smaller than 1.5s and the max tracking error is about $0.05\;m/S^2$ with the step input.

현재 국내 에너지 설비의 안전에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 안전 관련 기술(수명, 정비, 사고 관련 모든 기술)의 개발, 도입이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 많은 경우 기반기술 연구에 집중되어 있어 이를 융/복합하여 현장에 활용할 수 있는 응용기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 에너지 플랜트 설비(발전, 석유화학 및 정유 플랜트 등)의 최적 안전 관리를 위해서는 설비의 위험도(risk)에 근거한 관리가 가장 이상적이며, 이를 위해서는 기준이 될 수 있는 위험도 기반 검사(risk-based inspection, RBI) 가이드라인과 사용자가 쉽고 효율적으로 위험도를 관리할 수 있는 도구 즉 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 위험도 기반 검사 가이드라인과 IT(information technology) 기술을 융/복합하여 사용자가 쉽고 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 GUI(graphic user interface) 기반의 위험도 기반 설비 관리 시스템을 연구 개발 하였다.

일반적으로 플랜트와 같은 대규모 설비의 공정제어를 실현하기 위해서는 분산제어시스템(DCS: Distributed Control System)을 사용하게 된다. 이 분산제어시스템은 여러 종류의 제어 및 감시 장비가 네트워크를 통하여 연결되고 맡은 기능을 포함하게 된다. 이러한 분산제어시스템을 사용하거나 개발하기 위해서는 계통을 구성하는 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어의 세부 기술특성 및 제원을 평가하는 것이 필요하다. 한국원자력연구소와 두산중공업은 원자력발전소의 공정제어계통에 사용한 상용 분산제어시스템의 기술적 평가항목과 권장되는 성능지표를 개발하였다. 이 논문은 개발된 평가항목과 제원을 분산제어시스템의 구성 요소별로 분리하여 서술한다.

Electric power market in Japan is now on the trend of deregulation and privatization just like in Europe and the United States. And various approaches for risk management have been investigated taking the electric power price fluctuation after the deregulation into account. The behavior of the investment in power generation plants has not, however, been studied in detail yet due to the complexity of the problem. The problem of the investment in the deregulated power market is that of autonomous decentralized decision-making system, which includes various kinds of decision-makers, that is, power producers called IPPS Each generator has its own criteria for plant investment. Therefore, the total behavior of the decentralized power market will be so complicated, and normative approach will not be applicable fur this analysis. We have developed a simulation-based system fur behavioral analysis and also the framework design of the decentralized power market.

Over the last decade or so, there has been an increase in activity devoted to the development of renewable resources for generating electric energy. Many of these generators are small and can only be economically connected to the distribution system or to ths subtransmission system. Those which involve storage, a secondary source of energy, can provide a means to achieve more efficient use of existing generating plant. Such systems are known collectively as Dispersed Storage and Generation devices, or DSGs. So, in this paper, for uninterruptable service in one bank outage in 154/22.9KV substation, the proper capacity of DSGs is examined through the configuration and the reliability.

In this paper, we have studied about optimal transmission efficiency characteristics of pulse energy in a coal plant for removing environmental polluted gas. The electrical efficiency of pulse power systems depends on impedance of the reactor. To obtain high efficiency, we used MPC(Magnetic pulse compressor) as the power switch and tested their characteristics as electrode length of the reactor and charging voltage of capacitor, As results, we obtained a compressed pulse such as pulse voltage of 10㎸, rising time 200ns and pulse width of 500ns. With increasing electrode length, the load impedance was decreased but the electrical efficiency was increased.

Both of induction generator and synchronous generator is available in the hydroelectric power plant. If the output of the power station is large, the synchronous generator is mainly used but when its output is low, the induction generator is often used. If the output capacity is small, there is a case in which induction motor is used as a generator. Torque at rated operation and start of the induction motor is different depending on the shape of the rotor. Small and medium-sized squirrel-cage induction motor is used primarily double cage rotor or deep bar. In this study, we attempt to interpret characteristics for double cage rotor or deep bar that occur when operating in the induction generator based on the parameters that have been designed and manufactured as an induction motor.
