The boiler feed-water pump controllers which can be applied to 500MW class coal fired power plants was developed. The validity of the developed controllers was shown via the applied test result in a power plant. It is expected that the developed controllers are used to retrofit the existing controllers that have surpassed their expected service life and have limited spare parts, and contributes to the stable operation of plants. Based on the collected data and analysis, new control schemes were developed and implemented during the overhaul period in the new control systems. During normal operation, feed water could be supplied to the boiler with the capability of the 1600t/h flow without any problems in automatic mode of controllers. In this study, the feed-water pump controllers were developed successfully. In addition, it is expected that the developed controllers can make the plant operation more stable and can be applied to a lot of power plants.

자동 급수펌프는 압력스위치에 의해 운전 및 정지를 하게 된다. 따라서 수량 증감에 따른 펌프의 빈번한 운전 및 정지로 인해 지속적인 정격 및 정압 운전이 불가능하다. 또한 빈번한 작동으로 인해 지속적으로 일정한 압력을 얻을 수 없으며, 펌프의 소손과 에너지의 낭비가 심한 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하고자 급수밸브, 유량센서, 제어장치로 구성되는 정압 급수장치를 설계 제작하였다. 급수밸브는 유출되는 물의 양과 관계없이 항상 일정한 양의 물을 유입하여 펌프의 부하를 줄이는 역할을 한다. 유량센서는 적외선 다이오드를 사용하여 유출되는 물의 양의 측정하며, 제어장치는 8 비트 마이크로프로세서를 이용하여 설계하였으며, 특별한 제어 알고리듬에 의해 펌프의 운전과 정지를 제어하게 하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 장치는 토출 압력이 일정하게 유지되고 펌프의 작동 및 정지 동작이 부드럽게 이루어지며, 펌프의 지속적인 정압운전이 가능하므로 기존의 단점을 보완하는 장치로 사료된다.

There are three main devices such as boiler producing steam, turbine driving generator and generator producing electricity. An electrical generator in power plant is driven and maintained its speed at rated by steam turbine which is coupled into generator directly. Turbine auxiliary devices such as condenser, deaerator, feed water heater, gland steam condenser, pump recirculation equipment, feed water pump, and so on should be operated well so that the steam turbine exert its maximum efficiency. There are many control loop such as hot well level and condenser recirculation, deaerator level, pegging steam pressure, feed water heater level, feed water pump recirculation. In this paper condenser level control and deaerator level control are going to be described.

The auxiliary-feed-water pump (AFWP) used to supply water during a station black out situation at nuclear power plants should meet the seismic qualification regulations stipulated in IEEE Std 323 and 344, so as to withstand earthquakes or dangerous situations. Here, we establish a model for the estimation of the structural integrity of this type of pump. If the natural frequency that results from a modal analysis is less than 33 Hz, we adopt a dynamic analysis, instead of a static analysis. A dynamic analysis was carried out taking into consideration seismic conditions such as the floor response spectra (FRS), an operation-base earthquake (OBE), and a safe-shutdown earthquake (SSE). Finally, an analytical estimation of the structural integrity of an AFWP is made through a comparison of calculated values and allowable values. If the result is less than the allowable stress, the pump is deemed to have good structural integrity. In addition, future studies will involve a stability check for rotor accidents that may occur during the operation of the pump.

The large particles of suspended matter in raw water can be removed by allowing them to settle out in a presedimentation basin. But there are smaller particles in almost all surface water and some groundwater that will not settle out within a reasonable time without some help to accelerate the process, In the coagulation and flocculation processes, nonsettleable solids are converted into large and heavier settleable solids by physical-chemical changes broght about by adding and mixing coagulant chemicals into the raw water. The object of this research was to improve corrective injection method for low dissolution liquid in the water treatment plant. A sort of chemical feed equipment are diaphram pump, flow control in combined magnetic flowmeter md control valve, roto dipper wheel system and tube pump. Particularly low dissolution liquid (Calcium Hydroxide) put in a bit by feed equipment, tube pump is very useful method for corrective injection method in the water treatment plant.

In this study, to apply hydrogen energy to ship engine and to generate effective hydrogen production, we investigated the effects of high temperature $H_2SO_4$ feed rate and cooling water rate to pump parts with fixed frequency needed to reciprocate motion and a simulation was conducted at each condition. In the fixed frequency and cooling water inlet flow rate of 0.5 Hz and 3.9 kg/s, we changed the high temperature $H_2SO_4$ flow rate to 47.46 kg/s (it is 105 % of 45.2 kg/s), 49.72 kg/s (110 %), and 51.98 kg/s (115 %). Also, at 0.5 Hz and 45.2 kg/s of frequency and high temperature $H_2SO_4$ flow, the thermal hydraulic analysis was performed at the condition of 95 % (3.705 kg/s), 90 % (3.51 kg/s), and 85 % (3.315 kg/s). In overall simulation cases, the physical properties of materials are more influential to the temperature increase in the pump part rather than the changes on the feed rate of high temperature $H_2SO_4$ and cooling water. A continuous operation of pump was also capable even if the excess feed of high temperature $H_2SO_4$ of about 15 % or the less feed of cooling water of about 15 % were performed, respectively. When the increasing feed of high temperature $H_2SO_4$ of up to 5 %, 10 %, and 15 % were compared with base flow (45.2 kg/s), the deviation of time period rose to a certain temperature and ranged from 0 to 4.5 s in the same position (same material). In case of cooling water, the deviation of time period rose to a certain temperature and ranged from 0 to 5.9 s according to the decreasing feed changes of cooling water at 5 %, 10 %, and 15 % compared to a base flow (3.9 kg/s). Finally, the additional researches related to the two different materials (Teflon and STS for Pitch and End-plate), which are concerned about the effects of temperature changes to the parts contacting different materials, are needed, and we have a plan to conduct a follow-up study.

The load of power plants changes every from time to time according to which steam flow of boiler changes. the feed water control is very important for the power plant to be operated in its stability conditions. In case of circulation type boiler, the instability of feed water control leads to instability of drum level control. The higher level of drum water can induce bad quality steam to go into turbine which means the possibility of damage. The lower level of drum water can induce the tubes of boiler water wall to be overheated. In case of once through type boiler, the instability of feed water control leads to bad cooling of superheaters. The less the feed water flow is, the more heated the superheater is. It is necessary for the turbine driving feed water pump to be controlled for the optimal feed water flow in the large capacity power plant. The speed of turbine is controled for the feed water flow. By the way, the optimal control of steam valve is necessary for the speed control of turbine. Therefore, the various kinds of the steam valve structures are introduced in this paper

There are roughly a hundred types of cables in power plants. The distribution of circuits in a nuclear plant is comprised of 20% instrument cables, 61% control cables, 13% AC power cables, 1% DC power cables, and 5% communication lines. In the nuclear power plant, medium voltage cables are generally included in the scope of systems reviewed for safety and are included in a plant's maintenance program. Medium voltage cables provide power to many critical components in plants, including feed water pumps, circulating water pumps, and condensate pumps. Among these cables, high temperature sections of cables feeding electrical power to the circulating water pump and the condenser extraction pump were found. The evaluation for these cables is performed to find the maximum allowable current and temperature. The result shows that the load current flowed about 85% of the allowable current ampacity, and the temperature of conductor at full load current did not exceed the limited temperature. Therefore, existing cables for circulating water pump and condenser extraction pump system are going to be used during design life.

The feed-water piping system constitutes a complex flow impedance network incorporating dynamic transfer characteristics which will amplify some pulsation frequencies. Understanding pressure pulsation waves for the feed-water recirculation piping system with cavitation problem of flow control valve is very important to prevent acoustic resonance. Feed water recirculation piping system is excited by potential sources of the shock pulse waves by cavitation of flow control valve. The pulsation becomes the source of structural vibration at the piping system. If it coincides with the natural frequency of the pipe system, excessive vibration results. High-level vibration due to the pressure pulsation affects the reliability of the plant piping system. This paper discusses the piping vibration due to the effect of shock pulsation by the cavitation of the flow control valves for the recirculation piping of feed-water pump system in combined cycle power plants.
