  • The Samcheonpo ocean small hydropower plant (SHP) has a special feature of using marginal hydraulic head of circulating water system of fossil fuel power plant as a power source and having the characteristics of general hydropower generation and tidal power generation as well. Also, it contributes to reducing green house gases and developing clean energy source by recycling circulating water energy otherwise dissipated into the ocean. The efficiency of small hydropower plant is directly affected by effective head and flow rate of discharged water. Therefore, the efficiency characteristics of ocean hydropower plant are analyzed with the variation of water level and flow rate of discharged water, which is based on the accumulated operation data of the Samcheonpo hydropower plant. After the start of small hydropower plant operation, definite rise of water level was observed. As a result of flow pattern change from free flow to submerged flow, the instability of water surface in overall open channel is increased but it doesn't reach the extent of overflowing channel or having an effect on circulation system. Performance evaluation result shows that the generating power and efficiency of small hydropower exceeds design requirements in all conditions. Analysis results of CWP's water flow rate verify that the amount of flowing water is measured less and the highest efficiency of small hydropower plant is achieved when the effective head has its maximum value. In conclusion, efficiency curve derived from water flow rate considering tidal level shows the best fitting result with design criteria curve and it is verified that overall efficiency of hydropower system is satisfactory.

  • 조속기는 수차발전기의 핵심을 담당하는 두뇌라고 말할 수 있으며, 전력계통의 부하(주파수)가 변할 경우 수차발전기의 회전속도를 정격으로 유지시켜 양질의 전기를 생산하도록 항시 조정되는 역할을 한다. 최근 조속기는 디지털화되어 최적제어 감시 및 보호기능을 수행하고 있으나 문제점도 하나둘씩 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 가버너의 Isolation Mode에 대한 설명과 사고사례를 통해 디지털가버너 운영 시 문제점을 분석, 검토하여 보완하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 안정적으로 전력공급을 주요 목적으로 하였다.

  • 옥외 현장에 설치되어 있는 PANEL은 하절기에 내부 온도가 높아져 PANEL 내부에 설치되어 있는 제어장치의 정상 동작을 방해 할 수 있다. 실제로 하절기 오후 $2{\sim}3$시경 PANEL 내부의 온도는 약 $60{\sim}75^{\circ}C$ 정도의 고온을 유지한다. 근래에는 현장 PANEL 내부에 PLC 및 컨트롤러등 전자화된 제어 장치의 설치 비중이 증가하고 있고 대부분의 컨트롤러 사용 온도는 약 $0{\sim}55^{\circ}C$ 이므로 하절기 고온 상태에서 정상적인 동작을 기대하기는 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 옥외 자립형 PANEL의 냉각 장치를 개발하여 운영하고 그 효과를 분석, 검토함으로써 하절기 고온 상태에서도 안정적으로 설비가 정상 동작하기 위한 방안 제시를 주요 목적으로 한다.

  • Recently with increase consumption of electric power, the scale of the electric system becomes bigger and complex. Then, it is increasing the hardship in the operation of electric system and the continuance of stability. Especially, as the differences between demand and supply in electric power keeping low frequency oscillating attenuation from electric power have been very important in the continuance part of stability. The more control time of electricity system is getting faster with digitalization the more stability of electricity system is getting worse. As solutions of these problems, by establishing Power System Stabilizing Controller putting PSS output signal and putting damping to vibration of the rotor at generators's AVR in area where is oscillated, We are willing to contribute the electricity system by holding in generator output vibration.

  • 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.

  • A methodology to predict the output performance of small hydro power plant using treated effluent in waste water treatment plant has been studied. Existing waste water treatment plant located in Kyunggi-Do were selected and the output performance characteristics for these plants were analyzed. .Based on the models developed in this study, the hydrologic performance characteristics for SHP sites have been analyzed. The results show that the flow duration characteristics of small hydropower plant for waste water treatment plant have quite differences compared with small hydropower plant for the river. As a result, it was found that the developed model in this study can be used to analyze the output characteristics for small hydro power in waste water treatment plant. Additionally, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, capacity, operational rate and annual electricity production were estimated and discussed. It was found that the models developed in this study can be used to decide the design performance of small hydropower plant for waste water treatment plant effectively.
