This paper proposes a new coordinated voltage control scheme between STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) and reactive power compensation devices, such as shunt elements(shunt capacitor and shunt reactor) and ULTC(Under-Load Tap Changer) transformer in a local substation. If STATCOM and reactive power compensators are cooperatively used with well designed control algorithm, the target of the voltage control can be achieved in a suddenly changed power system. Also, keeping reactive power reserve in a STATCOM during steady-state operation is always needed to provide reactive power requirements during emergencies. This paper describes the coordinative voltage control method to keep or control the voltage of power system in an allowable range of steady-state and securing method of momentary reactive power reserve using PSS/E with Python. In the proposed method of this paper, the voltage reference of STATCOM is adjusted to keep the voltage of the most sensitive bus to the change of loads and other reactive power compensators also are settled to supply the reactive power shortage in out range of STATCOM to cope with the change of loads. As the result of simulation, it is possible to keep the load bus voltage in limited range and secure the momentary reactive power reserve in spite of broad load range condition.

Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) makes electric power using hydrogen or reformed from methane and emits high temperature products that contain flammable species like hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane which varies with operation condition. SOFC/gas turbine integrated system which uses thermal and chemical energy of the discharges is more efficient than SOFC itself. Burning character of the SOFC products will affect the efficiency and stability of the system. Experiments were conducted to know the characteristics of the flame for two typical composition of SOFC products, i.e. start-up and steady state composition. When coflowing air temperature was higher than $600^{\circ}C$, auto-ignitin occurred for both fuels. Though start-up fuel has higher contents of hydrogen, it makes longer flame than steady state composition. It was inferred that the amount of oxidizer necessary to burn makes this phenomenon. Steady state composition fuel was unstable since it contains lots of water. Nozzle that had 6 holes, distance between each hole was 16.7 times of hole diameter, improved the stability of the flame.

This paper presents models for the dynamic simulation of a regenerative gas turbine and describes dynamic behaviors of a small regenerative engine. A quasi-steady model is introduced where the inertia of the working fluid is assumed to be negligible compared with the mechanical inertia of the rotating shaft. Based on this quasi-steady model, the transient model for the heat exchanger is employed to simulate the unsteady heat exchange in the recuperator. The effect of the thermal inertia of the recuperator metal on transient behaviors is analyzed by comparing the predicted results of the transient and steady state heat exchanger models. For several load change modes such as sudden increase, decrease and periodic variation, engine dynamic characteristics are investigated by applying a fuel control logic for the constant shaft speed. It is found that the thermal inertia of the recuperator metal has a dominant effect on the whole engine dynamic behavior.

This paper presents the operation strategy of KEPCO(Korea Electric Power COporation) ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW Bipole HVDC system that will be applied between Guemak C/S(converter station) and Hanlim C/S in Jeju island. Unlike intertie HVDC system, this system is located in AC power grid inside. Therefore, the enhancement of system security related with line flow and bus voltages can be major operation strategy. In this paper, in particular, the optimal operation algorithm in the abnormal(not steady state) power system is presented and simulated.

Chain drive power transmission system was developed for a low head hydro-turbine which generates power by energy transformation on the turbine blades attached to chains. Also, experimental and theoretical analysis for the sprocket wheel tooth load distribution were performed. The tooth load was measured by the specially designed load sensor. It was found that the tooth load distribution for the steady state operation was in good accordance with the quasi-static state results showing the peak load at the final meshing tooth. The trend of the experimental results agreed with the theoretical results based on the spring model analysis and difference in the magnitude of the maximum tooth load was considered to be the effect of the variable spring constant due to the moving contact point between the roller and sprocket wheel tooth.

본 논문은 순수한 고주파 (radio-frequency: rf) 모드의 반사형과 투과형 고주파 단일전자 트랜지스터 (RF-SET) 동작의 새로운 시뮬레이션 기법을 소개한다. 이 기법은 RF-SET 회로를 주파수 영역에서 self-consistent 방법으로 키리히호프 법칙에 기반한 미분 방정식의 해를 구한다. 또한, 이 기법은 정상상태와 시변 단일전자 트랜지스터 전류 모델들 두 가지를 포함한다. 순수한 rf 모드 반사형 RF-SET의 반사파와 순수한 rf 모드 투과형 RF-SET의 투과파를 계산한다. 정상상태 단일전자 트랜지스터 전류 모델을 포함한 RF-SET 계산의 정확성은 [참고문헌 2]에서 소개된 방법으로 확인한다.

본 논문은 채널에서 발생되는 진폭과 위상 찌그러짐을 보상하기위한 MCMA (Modified Constant Modulus Algorithm)의 비용 함수에서 weighting factor에 의한 자기 적응 등화의 성능을 비교한 것이다. MCMA 는 기존 방식인 CMA 의 비용 함수를 개선하여 등화기의 출력에서 진폭과 위상에 대한 오차 함수를 최소화할 수 있으며, 이때 weighting factor 의 값이 이용된다. 등화기의 성능을 비교할 때 initial state와 steady state로 분류하고 미리 정해진 레벨까지의 수렴 시간과 수렴 속도 및 안정된 등화 상태를 나타내며, 이들은 weighting factor에 의해 결정된다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 weighting factor에 따라 이들 2 가지 state 에 대한 각각 상이한 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 결과를 이용하여 사용되는 통신 채널의 환경에 따라 weighting factor 값을 적절히 선택한다면 고품질의 디지털 정보 전송이 가능하게 될 것으로 기대된다.

The KIER expressway mode was constructed from actual speed-versus-time traces generated by an instrumented test car driven a variety of expressways. This mode reflects the correct proportion of operation on each of the six expressways and preserves the non-steady-state characteristics of real driving. The average speed of the mode is 79.43 km/h and the mode length is 16.22 km.

In a wind farm, a large number of small wind turbine generators (WTGs) operate whilst a small number of a large generator do in a conventional power plant. To maintain high quality and reliability of electrical energy, a wind farm should have equal performance to a thermal power plant in the transient state as well as in the steady state. The wind farm shows similar performance to the conventional power plant in the steady state due to the advanced control technologies. However, it shows quite different characteristics during fault conditions in a grid, which gives significant effects on the operation of a wind farm and the power system stability. This paper presents an analysis of response of a wind farm during grid fault conditions. During fault conditions, each WTG might produce different frequency components in the voltage. The different frequency components result in the non-fundamental frequencies in the voltage and the current of a wind farm, which is called by "beats". This phenomenon requires considerable changes of control technologies of a WTG to improve the characteristics in the transient state such as a fault ride-through requirement of a wind farm. Moreover, it may cause difficulties in protection relays of a wind farm. This paper analyzes the response of a wind farm for various fault conditions using a PSCAD/EMTDC simulator.

The piping failure probability of the reactor coolant system in Kori unit 1 was evaluated considering stress corrosion cracking. The P-PIE program (Probabilistic Piping Integrity Evaluation Program) developed in this study was used in the analysis. The effect of some variables such as oxygen concentration during start up and steady state operation, and operating temperature, which are related with stress corrosion cracking, on the piping failure probabilities was investigated. The effects of leak detection capability, the size of big leak, piping loops, and reactor types on the piping failure probability were also investigated. The results show that (1) LOCA (loss of coolant accident) probability of Kori unit 1 is extremely low, (2) leak probability is sensitive to oxygen concentration during steady state operation and operating temperature, while not sensitive to the oxygen concentration during start up, and (3) the piping thickness and operating temperature play important roles in the leak probabilities of the cold leg in 4 reactor types having same inner diameter.
