The world began to search for new energy sources with increasing energy demand. Renewable energy sources are as hydropower important for alternative energy. Countries with high hydroelectric potentials continue to work to utilize hydroelectric power plants in the most efficient way. Pumped storage hydropower plants are an important investment to meet the growing energy needs at peak times and to store energy. Although it produces energy in many countries, pumped storage hydropower plants have not begun to be built in Turkey which has high hydroelectric potential. A new era will be opened for energy production in Turkey where a large number of pumped storage hydropower plants projects are in study phase with the construction of pumped storage hydropower plants and first nuclear power plant.

Since the West Sea experiences a big difference in tides, the output power of the small marine hydroelectric power plant varies with the tide. When an induction generator is used here for small hydroelectric power, the reactive power capacitor should be installed at the generator main bus to compensate for the changes in power. As such, the sizing method for the power compensation of the induction generator is reviewed and an optimal method for compensation is suggested. The self-excitation minimum capacitor capacity method, which prevents high voltages, and the power factor automatic control method, which retains a power factor of greater than 90% are reviewed. The compensation effect of reactive power is confirmed through a case study.

Generator of hydroelectric generating unit is to be protected by the digital protection IED. Now, any IED of large capacity for hydro power plant was not developed by domestic technology. This is because it is required for the generator of the high reliability technology and considered as due to the sale of the market of IED device is small. However, the protection IED must be develop by domestic technology to meet the advanced needs of the construction and replacement of electrical equipment in accordance with the new power plant development. In this paper, a digital algorithms for protection IED of large size of hydroelectric generating unit were designed. The algorithms consist of the stator protection, anti-motoring, overexcitation and loss of excitation. The performance of the algorithms were evaluated by using the simulation data collected from the PSCAD/EMTDC software. From test results, it can be seen that the developed algorithms were not maloperation.

The hydroelectric Power plant of the KOWACO have been establishing and operating a full scale electric power facility, doing the largest generation during the flood period of the summer season. When the huge capacity generator is run like the Chung-Ju's hydroelectric Power plant, the generator current per generator flows a great current estimated at 5,900 A. The bus bar of a great current flows in cubicle, owing to the bus bar current Eddy current is created around magnetic substance and a local heating phenomenon occurs due to Joule heat finally. a local heating phenomenon still exists the danger of safety accident due to contact and accompanies losses enough to healing capacity inevitably. this study applies and examines related theory and numerical formula about the heating cause of a great current & enforces technical verification about the method of heating reduction previous managed at the site.

We studied forest structure and composition in the vicinity of Srinagar Hydroelectric Power Project in Alaknanda Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India to provide baseline data for the management of forests. Eight sites were selected in the vicinity of power project based on elevation and species composition. Density varied from 650 to 340 ind ha^-1 for trees and from 4,360 to 6,480 ind ha^-1 for shrubs. TBC ranged from 35.02 to 54.02 ㎡ ha^-1 for trees and from 0.875 to 2.628 ㎡ ha^-1 for shrubs. On the basis of density and IVI, Pinus roxburghii was found dominant tree species in most of the sites, whereas among the shrubs, Carissa opaca was dominant. Dominance of Pinus roxburghii in most of the sites is an indication towards possible threat to associated species in the area. The dominance-diversity curve of trees showed a geometric distribution, whereas the shrubs displayed log-normal curves. The forest has rich and diverse species composition however; habitat degradation caused by the construction of Power Project might lead to reduction of plant species from the area. The information obtained from this study will be helpful in predicting possible changes in the forest ecosystem properties in near future after completion of the power project.

발전용 수력플랜트 분야는 기후변화 및 에너지 확보를 고려해 향후 지속적인 성장이 전망된다. 수력발전설비는 항상 수충격에 의한 위험에 노출되어 있고, 이에 대한 안정성 확보는 매우 중요하다. 수충격 현상은 밸브의 개도 조정이나 펌프와 터빈의 기동 및 정지 시 관로설비 전반에 걸쳐 발생하며, 예기치 못한 긴급 상황 시에는 더욱 현저하게 나타난다. 이와 같은 수충격에 대한 발전설비의 안정성 검토를 위해 본 연구에서는 수충격 발생 메커니즘을 반영된 특성선법을 적용한 수치해석기법(MOC-FDM: Method of Characteristic-Finite Dimensional Method, 이하 MOC-FDM)을 이용하여 전산수치 모형을 개발하였다. 개발모형은 발전설비의 주요시설인 저수지, 관로, 밸브, 펌프 등 경계조건을 반영하였고 가상시나리오 case를 적용하여 개발모형을 이용한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 개발모형 해석결과의 검증을 위해 발전설비의 주요 지점에서의 해석결과를 각각 제시하였다. 각 case 별 수충격 현상이 양호하게 재현되었으며, 상용모델의 수치해석결과와 비교분석 결과가 거의 유사하게 나타나 개발모형의 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 전산수치 모델은 수력발전설비의 운영 중 발생할 수 있는 비정상상태의 유체 거동을 정교하게 예측함으로써 설비의 안정성 검토를 위한 유용한 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The increase of $CO_2$ emission by increasing of fossil fuel usage has been understood a major cause of global warming. The supply of electric energy is heavily dependent on the massive thermal power and nuclear power plant before developing the renewable energy to supply the electric energy stably at a low price. The large and sound forged components of pressure vessel, turbine and generator are widely used in power plant such as wind power, hydroelectric power generation, nuclear power and thermal power plant. This paper is discussed the trend of manufacturing technology for pressure vessel and turbine to satisfy the required condition of utility company. It is also introduced a strategy of forging industry to cope with carbon tax.

Background: Occupational risk management is known as a catalyst in generating superior returns for all stakeholders on a sustainable basis. A number of companies in Ghana implemented health and safety measures adopted from international companies to ensure the safety of their employees. However, there exist great threats to employees' safety in these companies. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the level of compliance of Occupational Health and Safety management systems and standards set by international and local legislation in power producing companies in Ghana. Methods: The methodology is conducted by administering questionnaires and in-depth interviews as measuring instruments. A random sampling technique was applied to 60 respondents; only 50 respondents returned their responses. The questionnaire was developed from a literature review and contained questions and items relevant to the initial research problem. A factor analysis was also carried out to investigate the influence of some variables on safety in general. Results: Results showed that the significant factors that influence the safety of employees at the hydroelectric power plant stations are: lack of training and supervision, non-observance of safe work procedures, lack of management commitment, and lack of periodical check on machine operations. The study pointed out the safety loopholes and therefore helped improve the health and safety measures of employees in the selected company by providing effective recommendations. Conclusion: The implementation of the proposed recommendations in this paper, would lead to the prevention of work-related injuries and illnesses of employees as well as property damage and incidents in hydroelectric power plants. The recommendations may equally be considered as benchmark for the Safety and Health Management System with international standards.
