For many years, T/G Supplier has constructed a number of thermal power plants and researched to improve the performance and the reliability of steam turbine, which are achieved by advances in design and materials technology. In recent, interest is renewed in advance steam condition as means of improving economy of thermal power plant and reducing environmental pollution. Improvements in the maximum power have been driven by the development of advanced rotor and bucket material and longer last stage bucket. Improvements in efficiency have been brought through advance in mechanical efficiency and thermodynamic efficiency. This paper describes a number of new steam path design features introduced to the steam turbine product. And also this paper describes new design technologies' development, new technologies' trend and technologies' development for ultra-super critical steam turbine.

The small punch test have been developed to evaluate the material strength of the power plant components. This small punch test specimen is very small than the conventional strength test specimens. Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI) have been applying this test to assess accurately the life of thermal power plant and enhancing the reliability. The small punch test for gas turbine blades is under development. It's possible to compare the relative strength among the same materials having different operation histories. In this paper, the strength reductions of gas turbine materials are investigated by the small punch tests. All materials shows the almost same strength and deformation with the allowable deviation. At the same test temperature, the damaged material has the maximum load value. The strength reduction is not shown in this small punch test results.

This paper deals with a ride-through technique of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine systems using energy storage unit (ESU). By increasing the machine speed, some portion of the turbine power can be stored in the system inertia during grid faults. Also keeping the operation of rotor-side converter (RSC) and grid-side converter (GSC), the rotor current and DC-link voltage can be limited. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results for 2[MW] DFIG wind turbine system.

This study simulated the effect of steam injection on the performance and operation of a gas turbine combined heat and power (CHP) system. A commercial simple cycle gas turbine was analyzed. A full off-design analysis was carried out to investigate the variations in not only engine performance but also the operating characteristics of the compressor caused by steam injection. Variation in engine performance and operation characteristics according to various operation modes were examined. First, the impact of full steam injection was investigated. Then, operations aiming to guarantee a minimum compressor surge margin, such as under-firing and partial steam injection, were investigated. The former and latter were turned out to be relatively superior to each other in terms of power and efficiency, respectively.

This study aims to analyze operating performance of a micro gas turbine with the aid of detailed measurements of various system parameters. In addition to embedded measurements, parameters such as exhaust temperatures, engine inlet temperatures and fuel flow rates are measured Variations in measured data and estimated performance parameters are analyzed. Those data are processed to calculate losses along the power transmission line and the net gas turbine performance (power and efficiency based on the gas turbine shaft end) is isolated from the overall system performance. On the basis of the measured data, analytical approach is tried to estimate design characteristic and performance parameters such as component efficiencies and unmeasured temperatures.

Last blades of low-pressure turbine in nuclear power plant are the highly damaged part and always suffered from different types of loadings leading to various stress components, stresses due to centrifugal force and steam flow loading. Especially, centrifugal stress generated by turbine rotation is one of the main problems and more significant than other stresses as they have the greatest effect on total stress. Therefore, this study was performed to obtain the important information for estimation model development of the blade centrifugal stress level and distribution.

An axial-type turbine design technology is developed. In order to design one-stage turbine, preliminary design method is applied, and then design parameters are chosen after analyzing the gas properties within the turbine passage using the streamline curvature method. Stator blade is designed using C4 Profile, and rotor blade is designed using shape parameters. The output power is measured with various RPM and input power. The experimental result shows that the output power is proportionally decreased with the negative incidence angle.

We developed the PERUPS system to aid the on-line performance analysis for the turbine cycle of the YongGwang 3 and 4 nuclear power plants. Procedure of measurement validation is included in the performance calculation to obtain heat balance. Precision of on-line performance calculation is increased via practical modifications of standard calculation algorithms based on the PTC (Performance Test Code). The proposed system also provides useful Web-based aids for performance analysis, including performance data management, a graphic viewer for heat balance and turbine expansion lines, and synthesized reports of performance.

This paper proposes a low-cost power converter for micro wind turbine systems using permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG). The proposed converter consists of a two-leg three-phase PWM inverter for the generator control and a single-phase half-bridge PWM converter which is connected to the utility grid. For the two separate DC-link voltages, a balancing control is added and the adverse effect of the DC-link voltage ripples on the inverter output voltage is compensated. The control performance of the proposed converter topology for the micro wind turbine system is shown by the simulation results using PSIM software.
