The pumped-storage power system is the one of the hydroelectric power systems, generating electricity with hydraulic head difference. In this system, the electricity is produced during the hours of peak demand by using water that has been pumped into an upper reservoir from a lower reservoir during the hours of low demand. Generally, the system consists of an under-ground power house and tunnels such as the headrace, pressure, and tailrace tunnels. The Chungsong pumped-storage power station is the sixth one In the pumped-storage power station in Korea. Both the regional self-government and the population of chungsong -Goon had made a great effort to draw this power station construction into this area. The proposed Chungsong pumped-power station construction project was accepted by the central government as a part of the national electricity plan for the first time in Korea.

Total capacity of pumped hydro storage(PHS) in Korean power system reaches 4,700MW, though the share of it is about 4.56% of total capacity The Unit Commitment program, E-terracommit which is used for the operational purpose by KPX, includes the PHS model. But the model has a defect that it does not include the information of water level of upper reservoir. Therefore two types of improved the PHS models are represented in this paper. The first model is a optimized model by connecting the upper reservoir water level to the non-spinning reserve. The other model is to have priority allocate both the PHS and combined cycle generator for non-spinning reserve. The proposed two models and the E-terracommit model is compared and resulting to have improvement in estimating non-spinning reserve when using the proposed models.

Pumped-storage power plants pumps the water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir using the extra electric power at night and generates electric power in the daytime. Currently it tends to be a high-head large-capacity machine. In this paper, we developed the computer programs for vibration analysis of the pump/turbine and generator/motor rotor system considering electromagnetic force, hydrodynamic unbalance force, dynamic characteristics of guide bearings and add mass of water. This program was verified by applying it to the real model and calculating the critical speed, natural mode and unbalance response.

Pumped storage power plant is a system of generating electricity with hydroelectric power, in which at times of low electrical demand such as during nights, excess generation capacity of many power plants is used to pump water into the higher reservoir, and when there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, generating electricity. As pumped storage power plants across the nation are not on building registry under "the Article 6 of the Special Act by the Development of Power Resources", they are classified as a structure, not as a building. As a result, permit of fire protection facility is unnecessary, and fire protection administration is excluded from approval to completion of construction. Therefore, this study is to improve problems in accordance with the application of "he Article 6 of the Special Act by the Development of Power Resources", repair of facilities and problems with safety control to effectively prevent similar damages from repeatedly happening to pumped storage power plants in operation or under construction nationwide during a fire.

Spatial and temporal distributions of zooplankton were measured in an oligotrophic pumped storage-type hydroelectric reservoir which was composed of two reservoirs exchanging water daily, with water going up at night and going down during the day. Repetitive diel disturbance of the water column can be a unique feature of this reservoir system. Chl-${\alpha}$ concentration was highest in the early winter season. Phytoplankton density was lower in summer monsoon due to high flushing rate on rainy days. The zooplankton density was higher in the smaller upper reservoir possibly due to lower fish density in the upper reservoir. In the seasonal variation a time gap was observed between the phytoplankton bloom and the zooplankton bloom (particularly a rotifer, Keratella cochlearis). It is likely to that Keratella production is partially supported by heterotrophic food sources than phytoplankton. The dominance of a mixotrophic dinoflagellate (Peridinium bipes f. ocultatum) might have complicated the trophic relationship between phytoplankton and zooplankton. Our results provide some ecological information of zooplankton community in a highly disturbed alpine reservoir ecosystem relying on mostly allochthonous organic matter.

The extreme 2017 spring drought affected a large portion of South Korea in the Southern Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheongnam-do districts. This drought event was one of the climatologically driest spring seasons over the 1961-2016 period of record. It was characterized by exceptionally low reservoir water levels, with the average water level being 36% lower over most of western South Korea. In this study, we consider drought response methods to alleviate the shortage of agricultural water in times of drought. It could be to store water from a stream into a reservoir. There is a cyclical method for reusing water supplied from a reservoir into streams through drainage. We intended to present a decision-making plan for water supply based on the calculation of the quantity of water supply and leakage. We compared the rainfall-runoff equation with the TANK model, which is a long-term run-off model. Estimations of reservoir inflow during non-irrigation seasons applied to the Madun, Daesa, and Pungjeon reservoirs. We applied the run-off flow to the last 30 years of rainfall data to estimate reservoir storage. We calculated the available water in the river during the non-irrigation season. The daily average inflow from 2003 to 2018 was calculated from October to April. Simulation results show that an average of 67,000 tons of water is obtained during the non-irrigation season. The report shows that about 53,000 tons of water are available except during the winter season from December to February. The Madun Reservoir began in early October with a 10 percent storage rate. In the starting ratio, a simulated rate of 4 K, 6 K, and 8 K tons is predicted to be 44%, 50%, and 60%. We can estimate the amount of water needed and the timing of water pump operations during the non-irrigation season that focuses on fresh water reservoirs and improve decision making for efficient water supplies.

With increasing development of underground space, underground pumped storage power plants, which generate power by felling water in upper reservoir to lower reservoir, have been continuously constructed. For efficient and safe design, construction and maintenance or such power plants, it is very important to understand in-situ stress and the mechanical properties of the surrounding rock mass at the design stage. The power plant presented in this paper is under construction at a depth of $320{\sim}375m$. For stability evaluation of the structure, in-situ stress was measured by over-coring method. Also pressurementer test and a series or laboratory tests were performed to obtain the mechanical properties. Numerical analyses were conducted to check the efficiency of designed support patterns. The results showed that unstable areas occurred partly in the numerical model, and therefore supports were additionally applied. Finally complete stability was obtained and the following excavation has been operated successfully until now.

농업용저수지는 전국에 약 18,000여 개소에 이르며 지역특성에 따라 농업용수를 공급하는 체계가 각각 다르다. 저수지 용수공급체계는 자체유역에서 확보된 용수를 해당 수혜면적에 공급하는 것이 대표적이지만, 유역면적이 작거나 없어 용수확보가 어려운 지역은 양수시설을 통해 간접유역의 하천수나 재이용수 등을 저수지에 저류한다. 양수저류형 저수지의 설계를 위해 다양한 양수조건을 고려한 물수지분석을 수행하고 저수지의 설계용량 및 적정 양수량을 결정하고 있다. 그러나 최근 기후변화 등으로 인해 수자원 환경의 변화로 농업용수가 부족해지고 있는 상황 속에서 양수 저류형 저수지에 대한 용수공급능력의 재평가가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후변화에 따른 양수저류형 저수지의 용수공급능력을 재평가하였고, 물 부족을 극복하기 위한 적정 양수량을 산정하였다. 대상저수지는 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$저수지로 선정하였고 저수지 모의운영을 위한 양수량, 관개 재이용수 비욜 등의 입력정보는 당초 설계에 적용된 값을 사용하였다. 과거 기상자료는 1980-2010년, 미래 기후정보는 2011-2100까지로 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5 기후변화 시나리오를 적용하였다. 과거 및 미래 기후정보를 적용하여 양수저류형 저수지의 모의운영을 수행하고 이수안전도 90%의 만족여부를 검토하였다. 또한 기후변화에 대비하여 안정적 용수공급을 위한 적정 양수량을 산정하고 이를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구결과는 물 부족 지역의 농업용수 공급을 위한 양수저류형 저수지 운영에 있어 저수지 물관리의 기초정보로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
