Super-critical type steam power plant, which operates with steam pressure above the super-critical point, has a good reputation recently and is adopted as a new standard of the Korean Electric Power Corporation. The reason for the good reputation lies in it's superior power efficiency. However, the field data of the new power plant for the verification of it's performance are still insufficient, and more empirical data are needed to acquire technologies on the effective operation of it. In this study, the authors analyzed the field test data on power efficiencies got in a super-critical type steam power plant, and evaluated the excellency of the new plant by comparing the efficiency data with the one got in a conventional sub-critical type steam power plant.

At present, one of the big characteristics in electric power market in korea is unique seller but in the near future competitions are expected in the market. so additional service for the electric power are expected. Also with development of IT technology, remote inspection for power usage are possible so as consumption pattern analysis. KORAIL is one of the biggest consumer in electric power market so it is necessary to investigate power consumption pattern. This paper presents electric power rate definition program based on billing system database and also basic power rate optimization method. Base on the substation annual power usage DB data, the characteristic of the substation power consumption are investigated and effective electrical billing system are compared each other. Through this program it is verified that we can save more then several hundred million won for a year.

Photo-assisted wet chemical etching of GaN thin film was studied using KOH based solutions. A $2{\mu}m-2{\mu}m$ titanium line-and-space pattern was used as a etching mask. It is found that the etching characteristics of the GaN thin film is strongly dependent on the pattern direction by unisotropic property of KOH based solution. When the pattern was aligned to the [$11\bar{2}0$] directions, ($10\bar{1}n$)-facet is revealed constructing V-shaped sidewalls.

In this paper, the 1,700 V level SiC-based power MOSFET device widely used in electric vehicles and new energy industries was designed, that is, a single trench gate power MOSFET structure and a double trench gate power MOSFET structure were proposed to analyze electrical characteristics while changing the design and process parameters. As a result of comparing and analyzing the two structures, it can be seen that the double trench gate structure shows quite excellent characteristics according to the concentration of the drift layer, and the breakdown voltage characteristics according to the depth of the drift layer also show excellent characteristics of 200 V or more. Among them, the trench gate power MOSFET device can be applied not only to the 1,700 V class but also to a voltage range above it, and it is believed that it can replace all Si devices currently applied to electric vehicles and new energy industries.

The integrated power system combining a tidal power plant and two ocean current power parks is suggested. It is characterized by the set up of an ocean current power park in the lake side by installing a number of ocean current turbines generating electricity by using sea water flow discharged into the lake side from the turbine generator of a tidal power plant and an ocean current power park in the sea side by installing a number of ocean current turbines generating electricity by using sea water flow exiting into the sea side through the sluice gate from the lake side. The vision of the integrated power system is demonstrated by the simple theory and simulation results of the SIWHA Tidal Power Plant. And it is shown that the newly proposed integrated power system combining tidal power and ocean current power can produce very high economical benefits.

In this paper, The SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifier) is 100 watts amplifier which is used with C-Band Satellite communication Up-Link frequency, 5.875 ∼6.425 GHz. SSPA requires more output power than is available from a single GaAs FET with result it is necessary to combine the output of many device. To achieve a high power, it is important to make a good N-way power divider which has a small different phase, good combining efficiency and high power handling capability. The reliability of Power GaAs FET decrease with increasing junction temperature, power amplifier in general dissipate amount of power. It is important to provide them with a heatsink and a temperature compensation circuit to dispose of the unwanted heat. To compensate temperature, Using PIN diode attenuator, it is enable to get a precision gain control. The output power of the SSPA is more than 100 watt with which the TWTA (Traveling-Wave Tube Amplifier) can be replaced. Each stage was measured by the Network analyzer PH8510C, Power meter Booton 42BD, The gain is more than 53 dB, flatness is less than 1.5 dB.

This paper presents a study on the power factor improvement of the Wind turbine Generation System(WTGS) at Haeng-won wind farm in Jeju Island. Vestas WTGS named V47 as a model system is selected in this paper, and has 660 kW Power ratings. In this system, power factor correction is controlled by the conventional method with power condenor bank. So, model system at Haeng-won wind farm has very low power factor in the area of low wind speed, which is from 4 m/s to 6 m/s. This is caused by the power factor correction using power condenser bank To improve the power factor in the area of low wind speed, we used the static var compensator(SVC) using current controlled PWM power converter by IGBT switching device. finally, to verify the profosed method, the results of computer simulation using Psim program are presented to support the discussion.

This paper discusses the evaluation of interconnection capacity of small cogeneration(SCOGN) systems to the power distribution systems from the viewpoint of voltage regulation. Power utilities are required to keep the customers' voltage profile over a feeder close to the rated value under all load conditions. However, it is expected that the interconnection of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems impacts on the existing voltage regulation method and customers' voltage variations. Therefore, SCOGNs should be integrated to the automated power distribution systems to prevent interconnection problems and supply high quality electricity to the customers. For these reasons, we should proceed with the evaluation of interconnection capacity of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems. However, it is generally impossible to perform actual testing on the power distribution systems, and standardized methodologies and guidelines are not developed to evaluate it. The criterion indexes for voltage regulation and variations are presented in order to evaluate the interconnection capacity of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems. In addition, the evaluation methodology of interconnection capacity of SCOGNs for power distribution systems is presented. It is expected that the resulted of this paper are useful for power system planners to determine the interconnection capacity of SCOGNs and dispersed storage and generation (DSG) systems to the power distribution systems.

In this paper, we derived the formula for estimating the power of the electric motors needed to operate the Decanter-type centrifuge. In the derivation of the formula the sludge-removal torque is to be supplied from the formula derived in the first paper. The intricate nature of the transmission mechanism in the planetary gear trains of the sludge-removal power and torque has been clarified in this second paper. In particular we considered two-motor system, where the main motor drives the machine while the differential-speed control motor plays the role of braking in adjusting the differential speed. Sample calculation for the specific design treated in the first paper showed that the selection criterion for the main motor depends on the lower limit of the differential speed; when the lower limit is set low, it should be selected based on the steadily operating power, while it should be selected based on the starting power when the lower limit is set high. The total power required by both the main motor and the differential-speed control motor increases as the differential speed is decreased. It is suggested that the power loss in the differential-speed control motor could be minimized by attaching an electric generator to it.
