Before a developed digital Power System Stabilizer(PSS) is installed to real power system, an efficient trial test for installing PSS is needed. In this paper, the performance of developed digital PSS for a single hydro-turbine generator and infinite bus system has been investigated using Real Time Digital Simulator(RTDS) in order to install PSS to real power system practically. The test system was composed of RTDS, three phase voltage/current amplifier and the PSS and the test scheme provided a very efficient way to verify the design and control performance of a PSS to be applied to real power system. The trial installation test through AVR 3% step test and three fault analysis may be guaranteed to install PSS to real power system.

A steam generator in nuclear power plant is a heatexchager which is used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core, and the steam produced in steam generator is delivered to the turbine to generate electricity. Because of damage to steam generator tubing may impair its ability to adequately perform required safety functions in terms of both structural integrity and leakage integrity, eddy current testing is periodically performed to evaluate the integrity of tubes in steam generator. This assessment is normally performed during a reactor refueling outage. Currently, the eddy current testing for steam generator of nuclear power plant in Korea is performed in accordance with KEPIC & ASME Code requirements, the eddy current testing system is consists of remote data acquisition unit and data analysis program to evaluate the acquired data. The KEPIC & ASME Code require that the electrical properties of remote data acquisition unit, such as total harmonic distortion, input & output impedance, amplifier linearity & stability, phase linearity, bandwidth & demodulation filter response, analog-to-digital conversion, and channel crosstalk shall be measured in accordance with the KEPIC & ASME Code requirements. In this paper, the measurement requirements of electrical properties for eddy current testing instrument described in KEPIC & ASME Code are presented, and the measurement results of newly developed eddy current testing instrument by KHNP(Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., LTD) are presented.

The wind turbines with a rated capacity of 50kW or less are generally considered as small class. Small wind turbines are an attractive alternative for off-grid power system and electric home appliances, both as stand-alone application and in combination with other energy technologies such as energy storage system, photovoltaic, small hydro or diesel engines. The research objective is to develop the 50kW scale wind turbine blades in ways that resemble as closely as possible with the construction and methods of utility scale turbine blade manufacturing. The mold process based on wooden form is employed to create a hollow, multi-piece, lightweight design using carbon fiber and fiberglass with an epoxy based resin. A hand layup prototyping method is developed using high density foam molds that allows short cycle time between design iterations of aerodynamic platforms. A production process of five blades is manufactured and key components of the blade are tested by IEC 61400-23 to verify the appropriateness of the design. Also, wind system with developed blades is tested by IEC 61400-12 to verify the performance characteristics. The results of blade and turbine system test showed the available design conditions for commercial operation.

기후변화 대응 및 탄소 저감 노력의 일환으로 신재생에너지의 개발 및 활용이 전 세계적으로 활발하며, 우리나라에서도 2050년 탄소중립 달성을 위하여 친환경 에너지 시스템 구축에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 전통적인 재생에너지인 수력은 발전의 효율성, 안정성과 발전 제어의 용이함 때문에 널리 사용되고 있으나, 경제성을 확보하기 위한 댐, 보의 설치 및 대규모 발전설비가 필요하여, 생태계, 환경 파괴 등의 문제점 등을 수반하여, 최근 들어 대규모 사업이 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 이러한 흐름에 따라 최근에는 유럽을 중심으로 친환경 소수력 발전으로 회전 나선형 아르키메데스 수차를 활용한 소수력 발전의 적용이 이루어지고 있으며, 특히 2000년대 이후 독일을 중심으로 활발히 개발되고 있다. 또한 휴대용 초소수력 발전은 새로운 산업분야로 민간용 초소수력 발전기의 개발 및 판매가 국내외에서 증가하고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 자연 하천 환경에 활용 가능한 초소수력 발전의 필요성이 꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저유량 및 저낙차에 적용 가능한 '초소형 회전 나선형 아르키메데스 수차', 초소형 발전에 적합한 '발전기 및 발전시스템', 자연환경을 훼손하지 않는 친환경 '유도수로'로 구성되어, 원하는 하천이나 수로 등에 손쉽게 설치 가능한 초소형 소수력 발전시스템을 개발하였다. 회전 나선형 아르키메데스 수차는 3D프린터로 제작한 후, 강화 코팅제를 도포하여 내구성을 확보하였다. 상용 AC발전기, 소형 발전기용 '발전기 및 발전시스템'을 적용하고, 콘트롤 보드를 맞춤형으로 제작하여 경제성을 확보하였다. 이러한 발전 시스템은 개발 테스트 중에 있으며 향후 방류수로, 하수구 등 현장 적용을 준비 중에 있다.
