The flame image processing and it's analysis system has been developed for optimal coal firing of thermal power plant, especially for reducing NOx and safe operations. We aimed at gaining the relationship between burner flame image, emissions of NOx and LOI(Loss on ignition) in furnace by utilizing the flame image processing methods. And the relationship determines quantitatively the conditions of combustion on the individual burners. The test was conducted on Samchonpo thermal power plant #4 unit(560MW) of KOSEP which has 24 burners. The system simplified the burner adjustment works in accordance with the real time trending of flame behavior like NOx profiles and unburned carbon profiles for individual burners. But, This kind of conventional method increases the cost as the number of burner are increased. Also there is a difficulty to measure exhausted gas of each burner because of measurement errors. This paper intends to propose the useful "Flame Monitoring System" that can find Low NOX and LOI at the upper furnace and to compare with the conventional System.

Various intelligent distribution facilities installed at distribution systems have voltage sensor, current sensor, aging monitoring sensor. Intelligent Feeder Remote Terminal Unit (IFRTU) tied to intelligent distribution facilities process information from facilities and it checks information of fault, power quality and aging of distribution facilities. The information is transmitted to master station through communication line. The master station have remote monitoring system covers substation, distribution network, distributed generations and customers. It also have various application programs that maintain optimal network operation by using information from on-site devices.

The management of power factor(PF) in the distribution line is treated according to the measurement a month about the feeder unit at the substation. In Korea, we have not researched into power factor in distribution system due to it's less weight. The reactive power in advanced countries is controlled automatically by the compensative condenser switch on/off under the monitoring. This paper first presents the optimal condenser position and proper capacity by lagrangue factor ${\lambda}_{Q}$ which is the line loss index about reactive power unit. Therefore, the largest ${\lambda}_{Q}$ node is the condenser injection point and we find out the best condenser capacity when the line loss is saturated by the moderation of condenser volume. By this method, we suggest 0.6% uprising PF by injection of 15 kVA condenser. Additionally, PF is analysed into 5 areas; large city, middle city, small city, farm village, fishing village by the use of Power Platform which is classified the same concept of the low load management in KEPCO. Two feeders of each area are selected by the worst results of PF in specified areas.

In this study, the seepage flow monitoring method by the hydraulic head loss rate was developed for the purpose of application to offshore construction site enclosed by cofferdams in which seepage force varies periodically. The amount of the hydraulic head loss rate newly defined in this graph was in a range between 0 and 1. The zero of the rate means the existence of flow with no seepage resistance. The 1 of the rate means no seepage flow through the ground. The closer to 1 the coefficient of determinant in the hydraulic head loss graph is, the more the ground through which seepage water flows is stable. The closer to 0 the coefficient of determinant in the hydraulic head loss graph is, the more the ground through which seepage water flows was unstable and the higher the possibilities of existence of empty space or of occurrence of piping on the seepage flow pass in the ground is. The hydraulic head loss graph makes it possible to monitor sensitively the situation of seepage flow state, and the graph helps to understand easily the seepage flow state at the specific section on the whole cofferdam.

PMU based power grid monitoring and control system, WAMAC (Wide Area Monitoring And Control) system is required system design for accurate power data without error and loss through a system-wide. In the paper, we propose system design that measured data from PMU transmitted without loss to PDC and DSM server. and we propose a method to verify the real-time "data has been transmitted accurately". Verification system has been designed to reflect the WAMAC system. Therefore the WAMAC can enhance the reliability of the analysis of the data, and it can monitor lossless real-time trend data.

The Nd： YAG laser is commonly used throughout many fields such as accurate material processing, IC marking, semiconductor annealing, medical operation devices, etc., due to the fact that it has good thermal and mechanical properties and is easy to maintain. In materials processing, it is essential to vary the laser power density for specific materials. The laser power density can be mainly controlled by the current pulse width and pulse repetition rate. It is important to control the laser energy in those fields using a pulsed laser. In this paper we propose the constant-frequency current resonant half-bridge converter and monitoring of capacitor charging voltage. This laser power supply is designed and fabricated to have less switching loss, compact size, isolation with primary and secondary transformers, and detection of capacitor charging voltage. Also, the output stabilization characteristics of this Nd： YAG laser system are investigated. The test results are described as a function of laser output energy and flashlamp arc discharging constant. At the energy storage capacitor charges constant voltage, the laser output power is 2.3％ error range in 600[V].

The incidence of fire in underground utility tunnel is lower than other fires, but the damage caused by fire can cause social loss due to social management paralysis as well as economic loss. Hereupon, this paper presents the results of an empirical test on the construction of the underground utility tunnel condition monitoring system using the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. For this reason, a verification test was conducted by connecting a inductive coupler 200 Mbps power line communication modem with insertion loss characteristics of $-6{\pm}2dB$ to the installed the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. As a result, We confirmed sending/receiving of IP cameras up to 500 m. Therefore, it is judged that it is possible to construct a condition monitoring system for underground utility tunnel by using the leakage coaxial cables installed in the underground utility tunnels without installing additional communication lines for data transmission.

In power system, substation facilities have become too complex and larger according to an extended power system. Also, customers require the high quality of electrical power system. However, some facilities become old and often break down unexpectedly. The unexpected failure may cause a break in power system and loss of profits. Therefore it is important to prevent abrupt faults by monitoring the condition of power systems. Among the various power facilities, power transformers play an important role in the transmission and distribution systems. In this research, we develop intelligent diagnosis technique for predicting faults of power transformer by FCM(Fuzzy c-means) and Euclidean based distance measure. The proposed technique make it possible to measures the possibility and degree of aging as well as the faults occurred in transformer. To demonstrate the validity of proposed method, various experiments are performed and their results are presented.

Recently, the most wide-area blackout in North America, Canada and Europe had shown us indirectly the importance of Wide-Area Power System Protection and had influence on the direction of domestic electric power industry. After reorganization of the electric power industry in 2001, market incentives controls the power generation, transmission and distribution rather than stability of power grid, and moreover it produce bad results like inefficient facility management and too much competition. In addition, we can easily predict the massive loss of social and economic when the wide-area outage occurs by north direction load flow which is a pending problems of domestic power system and in a changed industry likes hi-tech manufacture and information technology industries. This paper introduces the development of infra systems for prevent wide-area blackout in situations of the power system operations.
