This paper tries to analyze the efficiency structure and regulatory effects in electric power industry by using total factor productivity and indices based on cost function method. This paper performed an empirical analysis on the efficiency improvement and optimal scale taking the cost aspect in electricity industry into account. By expanding the cost structure framework, this paper proposes the analytical method regarding the needs of technology regulation and presents the empirical results which can be verified. Hence, this work can play a key role in decision-making of the national power development and regulatory policy. The empirical result indicates that the electricity industry in Korea has been in the state of economies of scale until 1980s, However, due to sustained growth of power generation, economies of scale declined and subsided after 1980s and then diseconomies of scale is shown recent years. The analysis on the effect of technology regulation shows the national large-scale base-load power plant development-oriented policy until so far contributed substantial cost effect to the electricity industry. The empirical result indicates that the reserve requirement as one of means of technology regulation policy did not contribute to the economies of scale but positive effect on the total factor productivity in Korea.

가동중정비(OLM : On-Line Maintenance)란 발전소 건전성 유지를 위해 운전 중에 수행하는 예방정비 활동으로 특히 안전설비에 대해 운전 중에 수행하는 예방정비 활동을 말한다. 국내 원자력발전소에서는 2009년부터 가동중정비 도입을 위한 타당성검토를 수행하였고 2010년 규제기관에서도 규제지침에 대한 연구과제를 완료하여 가동중정비 도입을 검토하였으나 후쿠시마 사고 등 원자력발전소의 대외여건 변화 등으로 도입검토가 중단된 상태이다. 하지만 원전의 안전성과 운전성을 향상시키기 위하여 근본적인 대책 수립이 요구되고 있는데 이를 위하여 필요한 가동중정비가 왜 필요한지 어떠한 효과가 있는지 등에 대하여 고찰하여 보았다.

As a typical active equipment, pump machinery is widely used in nuclear power plants. Although the mechanism of pump machinery in nuclear power plants is similar to that of conventional pumps, the safety and reliability requirements of nuclear pumps are higher in complex operating environments. Once there is significant performance degradation or failure, it may cause huge security risks and economic losses. There are many pumps mechanical parameters, and it is very important to explore the correlation between multi-dimensional variables and condition. Therefore, a condition monitoring model based on Deep Denoising Autoencoder (DDAE) is constructed in this paper. This model not only ensures low false positive rate, but also realizes early abnormal monitoring and location. In order to alleviate the influence of parameter time-varying effect on the model in long-term monitoring, this paper combined equidistant sampling strategy and DDAE model to enhance the monitoring efficiency. By using the simulation data of reactor coolant pump and the actual centrifugal pump data, the monitoring and positioning capabilities of the proposed scheme under normal and abnormal conditions were verified. This paper has important reference significance for improving the intelligent operation and maintenance efficiency of nuclear power plants.

The Nuclear power industry today faces a serious and rapidly emerging problem in reactor maintenance and occupational radiation exposure control. The basic problem is the need for much maintenance on nuclear power plants. The problem is seriously compounded by radiation exposure control requirements. Many studies are underway seeking solutions tut the industry is developing rapidly and new plants will not await the results of such studies. It is essential that attention be given to maintenance and exposure control in all phases of plant design, construction and operation.

최근 들어 화력발전소는 잦은 기동과 부하 변동 하에서 안정적인 운전 및 관리에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 특히 터빈, 보일러와 같이 고온 고압의 조건에서 운전되는 발전 설비의 경우 크리프 및 피로 손상의 영향으로 설비의 수명이 감소하게 된다. 보다 안전한 발전소 운영을 위해 설비의 정확한 수명평가가 중요하며 현재까지 다양한 방법이 개발되어 적용되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지는 표준화된 가이드라인이나 절차 없이 정성적/준정량적 분석에 의해 주요 설비의 수명을 평가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 크리프 및 피로 손상기구에 근거하여 국내 화력발전 주요 설비의 수명 소비율을 평가하는 표준화된 기준을 개발하였고 실제 설비에 적용하여 평가 기준의 활용성을 검증하였다. 본 기준은 2010 전력기술기준에 수록될 예정으로 수명평가의 정확성 향상과 수명관리 표준화에 기여할 것이다.

Korea has exerted her efforts to assimilate nuclear power technology, and reportedly localized 95 percent of nuclear power technology by 1995. This paper investigates the evolution of nuclear power program in Korea to exploit the development process of the nuclear power industry and key factors for the technological localization of nuclear power plant. In developing countries, an imitative catching-up process can be shown as a course for developing the absorptive capacity of foreign technology, which depends on prior knowledge base and the intensity of effort. The process of technological learning consists of five stages including preparation, implementation of foreign technology, acquisition of peripheral technology, acquisition of core technology, and improvement f foreign technology. Moreover, this paper discusses six essential factors that have influenced the successful achievement of technological localization of nuclear power plants in Korea. They include the role and strategies of the government, the leading role of utility firm, the development and cooperation of the related organizations, the development of human resources and their efforts, market conditions and the assistance of foreign donors, and social conditions. Finally, this paper discusses about implications offered by the Korean experience for other developing countries.

The reasons for monitoring the condition and maintaining the health of electrical apparatus were discussed. The experience at the fields and the criteria for the judgment are also discussed in detail.

This study dealt with the properties for fly ash of combined heat power plant and application for concrete industry. For this purpose, fly ash of ulsan combined heat power plant was analyzed for physical and chemical properties and tested the properties of the super flowing concrete. As results of fly ash, contents of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the fly ash of Ulsan were less than those of thermal power plant(Boryung), but contents of CaO were ten times as much as those of Boryung. In order to satisfy the properties of the Super Flowing Concrete using class C fly ash, mixing conditions were determined the optimum water-binder(w/b), volume ratio of fine aggregates(Sr) and coarse aggregates(Gv).

In the nuclear industry, in order to keep pace with the 4th industrial revolution era, they are trying to improve the construction and maintenance ability by utilizing the technologies such as digital twin and VR/AR from the construction stage. However, the nuclear 3D CAD model, which is used as the base in the latest technology, is heavy due to a large number of facilities per unit space compared to other industrial companies, and it is difficult to directly incorporate the latest technology into the results of CAD programs for design purposes. In this study, in order to improve usability, we tried to lighten the 3D model. First, we analyze the existing nuclear power plant 3D model and draw out the problems and features. Secondly, we derived the factors to consider when we make the 3D CAD models lightweight.

Engineering is a value-adding process applying knowledge and skills in the construction industry that includes the planning, feasibility study, project management (PM), front end engineering and design (FEED), detail design, procurement, construction, supervision, and operation. Among these engineering activities, FEED is defined as a comprehensive design practice in the early design phase focused on conceptual design and basic design. It is a particularly influencing area that determines the competitiveness of procurement and construction capability of construction firms (KNIN 2013). Nevertheless, previous studies in FEED have been limited to the design process, deliverable, or particular management technique (e.g. system engineering, collaboration, information etc.). In this context, the purpose of this study is to propose a comprehensive FEED business process structure for project management of thermal power plant construction projects encompassing the entire project life cycle. And an assessment methodology for FEED functions was developed. It is expected that the proposed structure of FEED functions and FEED evaluation methodology will contribute to improvement of competitive capability of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies.
