Nowadays renewable energy has undergone major development, however most renewable energy resources still have demerit which is under the influence of environmental factors that can not be set up the power plants or can not be generated the rated power. To wander from the point of environmental instability, the present paper looks at the tidal current energy which can supply regular electric power. It has an important merit which is more predictable than others, however the place which can be set up is limited and the turbine system must be optimized. The development of the optimized rotor blades design is urgent to obtain regular electric power using the tidal current energy. Therefore, the paper expands on this idea and presents a conceptual design of 100kW horizontal axis rotor blade for the tidal current turbine using blade element momentum (BEM) analysis. The compatibility of horizontal axis tidal turbine (HATT) is verified using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, ANSYS-CFX. This paper presents results of the numerical analysis, such as pressure, streak line and the performance curves with torque data for the inflow of the horizontal axis tidal current turbine (HATT).

Understanding of seawater fouling characteristics is critical in designing a heat exchanger adapted in an effluent utilization system for a power plant. We reviewed three types of fouling mechanisms of general, biological, and crystallizing for a plate-frame heat exchanger, to be used for heat exchanging with heated effluent from a power plant. Also, mathematical models for each type of seawater fouling were suggested. Actual thermal resistance calculated from seawater fouling models were compared and implemented in designing a plate-frame heat exchanger. The bio-fouling model revealed the largest thermal resistance and the highest number of plates for a plate-frame heat exchanger under the same heat load. Overall heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of a plate-frame heat exchanger under fouling conditions was lower by 58 percent and higher by 2.85 times than those under clean conditions, respectively.

On 21st century, global warming is the most serious environmental problem threatening the existence of lives on the earth. One of the serious reasons of this nature phenomena was due to the greenhouse effect by carbon dioxide mainly produced with the combustion process of hydro-carbon fuel. and it is mostly produced. In the high oil prices age, intensification of energy efficiency promotion in the building sector is required. Windows are dominating large percentage whole building loads, and are regarding as the primary target of energy efficiency. The purpose of this research is on the obtaining of the renewable energy source in the skyscrape buildings in the metropolitan area. The air movement is happens due to the atmospheric pressure differences in the air. Due to this simple physical theory, it is easily expected to obtain the useful renewable nature energy through the high -raised vertical air stack installed in a tall building. However, there is one problem that should be resolved which is called air-hole effect in the sky -scrape buildings.

한국은 단위기 발전기 용량 1.4 GW, 20 GW를 초과하는 몇 개 지역의 대단위 발전단지, 대단위 발전단지에서 발전력을 인출하는 2~3개의 초고압 송전선로, 비수권에서 수도권으로 발전력을 수송하는 6개의 초고압 송전선로 구성 등 대용량 발전, 대규모 송전시스템 등 전통적인 전력계통 시스템의 특징을 가지고 있다. 이런 전력계통 특성으로 신재생에너지 진입 단계는 낮으나 주파수 안정도 문제 등으로 일부 발전기 출력 감발을 시행하고 있으며 향후 신재생에너지 확대 정책으로 전력계통 안정도 유지 문제가 가장 중요한 현안으로 떠오를 전망이다. 태양광, 풍력발전 같은 비관성 인버터 기반 신재생에너지 급증시 독립계통에서 전력계통 안정도를 향상시키는 수단은 Natural 관성 자원인 동기조상기와 가상 관성 자원인 BESS를 계통에 설치하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 신재생에너지가 계통안정도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 최저주파수를 유지하기 위한 BESS 효과를 계통 모의를 통하여 분석하였다. 발전제약 용량에 따른 BESS 효과는 최대 122.81%에 도달하는 것을 확인하였다.

$SF_6$ has been widely used in high voltage power equipment, such as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and gas insulated transmission line (GIL), because of its excellent insulation and arc extinguishing performance. However, $SF_6$ faces two environmental problems: greenhouse effect and high liquefaction temperature. Therefore, to find the $SF_6$ substitute gases has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this paper, the liquefaction characteristics of $SF_6$ substitute gases were studied. Peng-Robinson equation of state with the van der Waals mixing rule (PR-vdW model) was used to calculate the dew point temperature of the binary gas mixtures, with $SF_6$, $C_3F_8$, $c-C_4F_8$, $CF_3I$ or $C_4F_7N$ as the insulating gas and $N_2$ or $CO_2$ as the buffer gas. The sequence of the dew point temperatures of the binary gas mixtures under the same pressure and composition ratio was obtained. $SF_6/N_2$ < $SF_6/CO_2$ < $C_3F_8/N_2$ < $C_3F_8/CO_2$ < $CF_3I/N_2$ < $CF_3I/CO_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/N_2$ < $C_4F_7N/N_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/CO_2$ < $C_4F_7N/CO_2$. $SF_6/N_2$ gas mixture showed the best temperature adaptability and $C_4F_7N/CO_2$ gas mixture showed the worst temperature adaptability. Furthermore, the dew point temperatures of the $SF_6$ substitute gases at different pressures and the upper limits of the insulating gas mole fraction at $-30^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$ were obtained. The results would supply sufficient data support for GIS/GIL operators and researchers.

Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixtures are promising alternatives to $SF_6$ in environmentally-friendly gas-insulated transmission lines (GILs). Insulating gas heat transfer characteristics are of major significance for the current-carrying capacity design and operational state monitoring of GILs. In this paper, a three-dimensional calculation model was established for a GIL using the thermal-fluid coupled finite element method. The calculated results showed close agreement with experimentally measured data. The temperature distribution of a GIL filled with the Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ mixture was obtained and compared with those of GILs filled with $CO_2$ and $SF_6$. Furthermore, the effects of the mixture ratio of the component gases and the gas pressure on the temperature rise and current-carrying capacity of the GIL were analyzed. Results indicated that the heat transfer performance of the Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixture was better than that of $CO_2$ but worse than that of $SF_6$. When compared with $SF_6$, use of the Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixture caused a reduction in the GIL's current-carrying capacity. In addition, increasing the Fluoronitriles gas component ratio or increasing the pressure of the insulating gas mixture could improve the heat dissipation and current-carrying capacity of the GIL. These research results can be used to design environmentally-friendly GILs containing Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixtures.

In Korea, experiences in wind farm operation are limited and the foundation for setting standards in electrical system connection is still weak in comparison to the operation experience in connection of wind power to the electrical system of other countries around the world. Therefore, standards that are being applied in various countries for connection and optimal operation in wind farms need to be examined, and in addition, procedures for the assessment of the effects on the system are needed for setting connection standards and optimal operation plans in accordance with Korean electrical system characteristics. In this study, procedures for the assessment of effects of wind power connection to the electrical system are presented.

This paper analyses the economics of 50kW PV system installed in Tibet and using domestic technology. We show that this system can be expanded to very large-scale photovoltaic power generation [VLS-PV] system successfully. Based on this result, we conduct the economic analysis of 100MW VLS-PV system designed assuming that it will be installed from 2008 to 2017 in Tibet. In this analysis, future price of PV module and system are estimated based on the methodology of experience curve. In 50kW PV system, the generation cost is calculated at 567.2 won/kWh and this is lower than the one of domestic PV system. In future 100MW VLS-PV system. the generation cost is calculated at 305.4 won/kWh by declining system price. If the lifetime and efficiency of the system goes up, due to future technological improvements, the generation cost can be lowered. Moreover, under the environmental and political effect, VLS-PV system can be as competitive as the conventional energy within 20 years.
