전기자동차 레인지 익스텐더는 소형 엔진으로 구동되는 발전기 시스템(초소형 파워팩)으로서 자동차 운행 중 지속 충전을 통하여 운전 거리 및 시간을 연장한다. 기존 가솔린 엔진 파워팩은 복잡한 구조와 낮은 에너지 밀도로 인하여 고출력 소형 시스템 구현에 한계가 있다. 반면, 가스터빈 파워팩은 출력밀도가 매우 높고 고속화를 통해 시스템의 소형화가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 전기자동차 레인지 익스텐더로 활용하기 위하여 초소형 가스터빈, 자동차용 알터네이터, 배터리를 사용한 초소형 가스터빈 파워팩 실험장치를 개발하고, 무부하 및 부하 조건에서 동력전달 기어비 및 알터네이터 전기부하에 따른 운전 특성 및 발전 성능을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 부하 변화에 따른 발전 성능의 변화는 없었으며, 코어터빈 속도가 150 krpm 일 때 최대 전기적 출력은 0.8 kW 로 측정되었다. 또한, 동력축의 3:1 감속을 통해 전기적 출력은 1.5 kW 로 88% 증가하였다. 따라서, 본 연구의 초소형 가스터빈 파워팩은 배터리 부하변동에 대해 안정적인 전력생산이 가능하며, 전기자동차용 레인지 익스텐더로 적용가능함을 확인하였다.

Turbine blade is subject to force of three types ; the torsional force by torsional mount, the centrifugal force by the rotation of rotor and the cyclic bending force by steam pressure. The cyclic bending force was a main factor on fatigue strength. SEM fractography in root of turbine blade showed micro-clack width was not dependent on stress intensity factor range. Especially, fatigue did not exist on SEM photograph in root of turbine blade. To clear out the fracture mechanism of turbine blade, nanofractography was needed on 3-dimensional crack initiation and crack growth with high magnification. Fatigue striation partially existed on AFM photograph in root of turbine blade. Therefore, to find a fracture mechanism of the torsion-mounted blade in nuclear power plant, the relation between stress intensity factor range and surface roughness measured by AFM was estimated, and then the load amplitude ΔP applied to turbine blade was predicted exactly by root mean square roughness.

A parametric study of a 2.5 kW class propeller type micro hydraulic turbine was performed. In order to analyze the internal flow characteristics in the hydraulic turbine, three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model were used and the hexahedral grid system was used to construct computational domain. To secure the reliability of the numerical analysis, the grid dependency test was performed using the grid convergence index method based on the Richardson extrapolation, and the grid dependency was removed when about 1.7 million nodes were used. For the parametric study, the axial distance at shroud span (L) between the inlet guide vane and the runner, and the inlet and outlet blade angles (β₁, β₂) of the runner were selected as the geometric parameters. The inlet and outlet angles of the runner were defined in the 3 spans from the hub to tip, and a total of 7 geometric parameters were investigated. It was confirmed that the outlet angles of the runner had the most sensitive effect on the power and efficiency of the micro hydraulic turbine.

본 연구에서는 소형 무인기에 사용되는 초소형 가스터빈 엔진의 연소기를 3D 프린팅으로 제작하고, 시험 설비와 리그를 제작하여 연소기 단품 성능시험을 수행하였다. 연소기 성능시험은 두 가지 부하조건에서 당량비를 조절하여 각 부하조건 별 4가지 시험조건에서 수행하였다. 성능시험 결과 연소기의 압력손실과 출구온도분포는 우수하였지만, 연소가스에서 다량의 UHC와 CO가 검출되어 연소효율은 일반적인 가스터빈 연소기에 비해 아주 낮음을 확인하였다. 성능시험을 통해 획득한 정량적 성능데이터는 향후 3D 프린팅 기술로 성능이 개선된 연소기의 설계와 제작에 활용 할 예정이다.

This paper presents an application of Harmony Search (HM) meta-heuristic optimization algorithm for optimal operation of microgrid system. The microgrid system considered in this paper consists of a wind turbine, a diesel generator, and a fuel cell. An one day load profile which divided 20 minute data and wind resource for wind turbine generator were used for the study. In optimization, the HS algorithm is used for solving the problem of microgrid system operation which a various generation resources are available to meet the customer load demand with minimum operating cost. The application of HS algorithm to optimal operation of microgrid proves its effectiveness to determine optimally the generating resources without any differences of load mismatch and having its nature of fast convergency time as compared to other optimization method.

All forecasts of a future energy demand anticipate an increase across the globe. With the increase of energy demand, the emission of $CO_2$ is also likely to increase by at least the same amount because energy supply will be based on fossil fuels, which is more apparent in a number of developing countries. In this context, the Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) is being considered as a promising solution. In order to propose a feasible concept of those technologies such as improving environmental effect and economics, we performed a sensitivity study for a biomass fueled MGT using a simulation model. The study consists of 1) the fundamental modeling using manufacturer's technical specifications, 2) the correction with the experimental data, and 3) the sensitivity study for system parameters. The simulation model was developed by PEPSE-GT 72, commercial steam/gas turbine simulation toolbox.

The purpose of the present study is to design a 500W-class micro scale composite wind turbine blade. The blade airfoil of FFA-W3-211 was selected to meet Korean weather condition. The skin-spar-f Dam sandwich type structure was adopted for improving buckling and vibration damping characteristics. The design loads were determined at wind speed of 25m/s. and the structural analysis was performed to confirm safety and stability from strength. buckling and natural frequency using the finite element code. NISA II [6]. The prototype was manufactured using the hand-lay up method and it was experimently tested using the sand bag loading method. In order to evaluate the design results. it was compared with experimental results. According to comparison results. the estimated results such as compressible stress. max tip deflection natural frequency and buckling load factor were well agreed with the experimental results.

As the distributed generation becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of the distributed generation units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This new generation technology is linked to a large number of factors like economics and performance, safety and reliability, market regulations, environmental issues, or grid connection constrains. KEPOD (Korea Electric Power Corporation) is performing the project to develope the Distributed Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) technologies by using Swine BID-ENERGY. This paper describes the plans and strategies for the renewable energy of MGT on actual grid-connection under Korean situations. KEPOD also, has a research plan on bio-gas pretreatment system applicable to our domestic swine renewable resources and is performing concept design of pilot plant to test grid operation. In addition, this testing will be conducted in order to respond to a wide variety of needs for application and economic evaluation in the field of On-site generation.

The purpose of this study is to develop a method to predict the performance and economics of a micro gas turbine cogeneration system using performance correction curves. The variables of correction curves are ambient temperature, ambient pressure, relative humidity and load fraction. All of the values of correction factors were expressed as relative values with respect to design values at the ISO conditions. Once the correction curves are obtained, system performance can be predicted relatively easily compared to a detailed performance analysis method through a simple multiplication of the correction factors of various variables at any operating conditions. The predicted results using the correction curve method were compared with those by the detailed and more complex performance analysis in a wide operating range, and its feasibility was confirmed. To illustrate the usability of the correction curve method, the results of an economic analysis of a cogeneration system considering varying operating ambient condition and load was presented.
