수소액화 공정은 수소 예냉 에너지, 액화에너지 그리고 Ortho/Para 변환열 제거 등 다량의 에너지가 요구되어 진다. 본 논문은 기존의 수소액화 공정에 LNG냉열을 이용하여 에너지절약 효과를 얻고자 기본설계 및 열해석을 수행하였다. 액화 소요에너지에 LNG냉열을 적용하면 수소액화공정의 에너지절약효과와 함께, LNG기지의 해수에 버려지는 LNG냉열을 회수, 이용하는 일석이조의 에너지절약기술이 된다. 열해석에 의한 설계를 수행한 결과 현재의 액체질소 예냉식 수소액화 플랜트의 소요에너지에 비하여 LNG냉열을 이용할 경우 소요동력량은 75%가 절감되었다. 이는 예냉을 액체질소 대신에 냉열을 사용하기 때문이다. 또한 LNG냉열량은 수소액화량 1T/D기준할 때 15T/D 유량이 요구되었다.

The demand of clean energy, like liquefied gas(LNG), increase suddenly because it generates few polluting substances when burned and from the point of view with caloric value it generates ralatively less $CO_2$ gas than the other energy sources. LNG transpotion method of our country is marine transportion by ships because the LNG producing district is far away from Korea. Main engines for most LNG ships are steam turbines, and the efficiency of steam turbine is influenced by the degree of vacuum of main steam condenser. This paper introduce the design method of the vacuum system for high efficiency marine steam turbine. Especially, it is developed the CAD program for the large steam condenser and steam ejector. Also, it is designed the pilot plant including high pressure boiler for the performance test and maked a part of this plant.

Operation of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) plants requires an effective maintenance strategy. To this end, the long-term and short-term trend of faults, such as mechanical and electrical troubles, should be identified so as to take proactive approach for ensuring the smooth and productive operation. However, it is not an easy task to predict the fault trend in LNG plants. Many variables and unexpected conditions make it quite difficult for the facility manager to be well prepared for future faulty conditions. This paper presents a model to predict the fault trend in a LNG plant. ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average) model is combined with Wavelet Transform to enhance the prediction capability of the proposed model. Test results show the potential of the proposed model for the preventive maintenance strategy.

Since Pyoungtaek thermal power plant began using natural gas in 1986, the annual using volume has rapidly increased and reached 12.7 million tons in 1999. When the natural gas is cooled to a temperature of approximately -162$^{\circ}$C at atmospheric pressure, it condenses to a liquid called liquefied natural gas(LNG). LNG has a special characters such as odorless, colorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic. So, LNG storage tank, tanker ship, transfer pipelines are required the special storage and transportation systems and technology. The presently operating LNG terminals are Pyongtaek and Inchon terminals. A total of 19 above-ground LNG storage tanks(100 thousand ㎘ grade) are currently in operation with a sendout capacity of 4,360tons/hour. To meet the growing domestic demand of LNG supply, the Inchon receiving terminal is expanding(six in-ground tank) and constructing a third LNG terminal at Tongyong. In this paper, case study on seepage analysis and countermeasure against increasing the seepage volume of in-ground LNG storage tank excavation work is reported. The results of an additional seepage analysis are presented to verify the design seepage volume of assumption section and seepage volume after curtain-grouting in the slurry wall.

The O&M (Operation and Maintenance) phase of offshore plants with a long life cycle requires heavy charges and more efforts than the construction phase, and the occurrence of an accident of an offshore plant causes catastrophic damage. So previous studies have focused on design for reliability, and recently many studies have dealt with a maintenance system to prevent unexpected failures. Nowadays due to the emerging ICTs (Information Communication Technologies) and sensor technologies, it is possible to send health monitoring information of important equipment to administrator of an offshore plant in real time, which leads to having much concern on condition based maintenance policy or predictive maintenance. In this study, we have reviewed previous studies associated with condition-based maintenance of offshore plants, and introduced the approaches predicting failures of the compressor which is one of essential mechanical devices in LNG FPSO.

The O&M (Operation and Maintenance) phase of offshore plants with a long life cycle requires heavy charges and more efforts than the construction phase, and the occurrence of an accident of an offshore plant causes catastrophic damage. So previous studies have focused on the development of advanced maintenance system to avoid unexpected failures. Nowadays due to the emerging ICTs (Information Communication Technologies) and sensor technologies, it is possible to gather the status data of equipment and send health monitoring data to administrator of an offshore plant in a real time way, which leads to having much concern on the condition based maintenance policy. In this study, we have reviewed previous studies associated with CBM (Condition-Based Maintenance) of offshore plants, and introduced an algorithm predicting the next failure time of the compressor which is one of essential mechanical devices in LNG FPSO (Liquefied Natural Gas Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel). To develop the algorithm, continuous time Markov model is applied based on gathered vibration data.

수소의 액화에는 예냉 에너지, 상변화 에너지, 수소 변환열 제거 등 다량의 에너지가 요구되어진다. 본 논문의 목적은 예냉공정에 필요한 에너지로 LNG냉열로 액체질소를 제조하여 사용하는 LNG냉열 간접 이용 방식과, Cold box의 단열에 냉공기를 이용하는 새로운 에너지절약 공정을 제안하여 수소액화 수율을 향상시키고자 하였다. 분석 결과를 보면, LNG냉열 간접이용 방식은 에너지 절약과 함께 액체수소 플랜트의 안전성을 제공하는 장점을 갖는다. 새로운 Cold box 단열 방식은 외벽 철판 3mm/우레탄폼 20cm/공기 5cm/우레탄폼 20cm/설비의 구조일 때 현재 펄라이트 단열에 비교하여 열유입량이 약 35%~50%가 감소하게 된다. 또한 냉공기 보다 온도가 높은 설비는 냉각의 효과를 얻게 된다. 수소액화 플랜트의 공정에 본 결과를 적용한다면 액체 수율이 50% 내외로 크게 향상되는 효과를 제공하게 된다.

The natural gas dehydration process plays a central role in liquefying LNG. This study proposes two natural gas dehydration process systems applicable to liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction plants, and compares and analyzes energy optimization measures through simulation. The fuel gas from feed stream (FFF) case, which requires additional equipment for gas circulation, disadvantages are design capacity and increased energy. On the other hand, the end flash gas (EFG) case has advantages such as low initial investment costs and no need for compressors, but has downsides such as increased power energy and the use of gas with different components. According to the process simulation results, the required energy is 33.22 MW for the FFF case and 32.86 MW for the EFG case, confirming 1.1% energy savings per unit time in the EFG case. Therefore, in terms of design pressure, capacity, device configuration, and required energy, the EFG case is relatively advantageous. However, further research is needed on the impact of changes in the composition of regenerated gas on the liquefaction process and the fuel gas system.

노후 무연탄발전소를 리파워링함에 있어 현실적인 대안이 되는 시나리오별로 경제성 분석을 시행한 결과 내부수익률은 750 MW급 LNG 복합화력으로 하였을 때 2.34%, 500 MW급 유연탄 석탄화력으로 하였을 때 3.56%, 200 MW급 유동층 석탄화력으로 하였을 때 2.31%로 나타나 경제성 분석 기준으로 삼았던 할인율 7%보다 낮게 평가되어 경제적 타당성을 확보하지 못하는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나, 현재의 전력거래시장제도가 규제위주에서 시장위주로 변화되어 경제적 타당성이 현재보다 개선되고, 전력수요 대비 공급이 부족한 상황에서 수명이 소진된 노후 무연탄발전소의 리파워링이 불가피하다면 연구된 경제성을 기초로 초기투자비가 적으며, 유휴부지 활용과 연료수급이 수월하고, $CO_2$ 배출량이 상대적으로 적은 750 MW급 LNG 복합화력으로의 리파워링이 가장 효과적인 방안이라고 제시하고자 한다.
