This study was performed to compare the analytical results among L2000DX and two GC/ECD methods (rapid and conventional). 15 samples of transformer oils were collected to compare the analytical results. In the analytical results of PCBs-containing transformer oil, the PCBs concentrations were in the range of 4.4 mg/L to 182.8 mg/L with L2000DX, N.D. to 14.63 mg/L with conventional GC/ECD, and N.D. to 13.03 mg/L using rapid GC/ECD. The PCB concentrations detected with the L2000DX showed a large difference to those detected with GC/ECD methods. Otherwise, little difference was shown between the two GC/ECD methods at a concentration range lower than 4 mg/L, although the rapid GC/ECD method tended to detect a slightly lower concentration near the regulation criteria of Korea for 2 mg/L.

현재 우리나라를 비롯하여 전세계적으로 친환경적인 물질이 트랜드로 각광받고 있다. 친환경 식물성절연유는 이러한 트랜드를 바탕으로 광유를 대체할 수 있는 물질이다. 친환경 식물성절연유는 광유에 비해 많은 특성이 우수하지만 냉각과 절연에 영향을 미치는 점도와 유동점이 높다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 환경적인 영향을 받는 유동점에 대한 전기적 절연특성은 장기적 안정성을 중요시하는 전력분야에서는 반드시 확인해야 하는 부분이다. 그렇기 때문에 실제 식물성절연유를 채운 변압기를 일정시간 냉각시켰고 뇌임펄스 시험을 진행한 결과 전파 100%에서 문제가 발생하였다는 것을 알 수 있다. 절연유의 냉각이 절연에 문제를 발생시킨다는 점을 인지하고 식물성절연유를 설계할 시 환경적인 영향을 고려하여 설계 제작해야 한다는 점을 알 수 있다.

In this experiment, it is decided to irradiated with a low dose of electron beam. Such that being things, the specimen is produced by the different dose, for example, 0.5[Mrad], 1[Mrad], 2[Mrad] except for original specimen. From the result of the analysis for the physical properties using FT-IR spectrum, it is confirmed that carbonyl groups of irradiated specimen is increased more than that of non-irradiated specimen. And all of nitric compound are disappeared by irradiating with electron beam. From the result of the dielectric characteristics, the specimen irradiated with 2[Mrad] is excellent.

In this paper, the FT-IR, conductivity and flow electrification phenomena of Vegetable oils were discussed. Vegetable oil has high flash point and eco-friendly properties compared to conventional mineral oil. Accelerated aging transformer oil samples produced in the oven at 140[$^{\circ}C$] for 500 hours, 1000 hours, 1500 hours, 2000 hours. Serial device to measure the flow electrification phenomena was designed and fabricated. Pico ammeter and the Labview data measurements were utilized. The effects of Temperature and antistatic agent on fluid flow electrification were investigated. Both Mineral and vegetable oil showed similar trends for temperature change. The polarity reversal occurred in mineral oil with antistatic agent above 10 ~ 30[ppm] and in vegetable oil with antistatic agent above 5[ppm].

The transformer is a static electrical device that transfers energy by inductive coupling. Then, heat is occurred at coils, inner transformer was filled with insulating oils for cooling and insulation. Although mineral oil as insulating oil has been widely used, it does not meet health and current environmental laws because it is not biodegradable. Therefore, in this study, the diglycerol ester was synthesized with diglycerol and fatty acids (oleic acid and caprylic acid) over various catalysts for insulating oil having biodegradability, high flash points and low pour points. The sulfated zirconia ($SO_4{^{2-}}/ZrO_2$) catalyst prepared at different calcination temperature shows the highest conversion of fatty acids at $600^{\circ}C$ due to crystallinity and high density of acid sites per surface area. When the molar ratio of oleic acid and caprylic acid is 1:3, the diglycerol ester shows superior insulation properties that are the flash point of $306^{\circ}C$ and pour point of $-50^{\circ}C$. The insulation properties of synthesized diglycerol ester shows the pour point of $-50^{\circ}C$ and the flash point of over $300^{\circ}C$. Therefore, diglycerol ester is superior to the vegetable oils in insulation properties.

A convenient procedure for the synthesis of fatty acid diesters was studied. Long chain diesters have been used as biolubricant and transformer oils. The series of octyl, dodecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, and octadec-9-enyl glycidyl ether were used to synthesize those diesters. Alkyl glycidyl ethers were reacted with fatty acid such as oleic acid and octanoic acid, and octanoic acid. The one-step / two-step reactions were compared during the condensation reaction. The products were confirmed by $^{1}H-NMR$, FT-IR, and HR/MS spectra. The yield of the product 1-O-acyl-2-O, 3-O-dioctadec-9-enoylglycerol was 55~60%.

The treatment efficiency of PCBs containing wastes has been investigated. The samples treated by electron beam and de-chlorination method were analyzed to verify the byproducts before treatment and after treatment. In the treated samples by electron beam irradiation, PCBs were not detected by comparing the peak matching using the Korean official waste test method. On the other hand, PCBs congeners were detected by analyzing individual isotope method using HRGC/HRMS. Most of PCB congeners in waste were decomposed to 3-chlorobiphenyls, lower chlorinated congener produced during the treatment of electron beam. In the chemical dechlorination treatment, it was found that the concentrations of PCBs in treated samples were lower than those of regulation criteria in Waste & POPs management law and the after treatment concentration were satisfied to the regulation criteria. Also, dioxins were not observed after the physio-chemical treatment processes of PCBs containing wastes.

PCBs는 잔류성유기오염물질(POPs) 중 하나로 변압기 절연유 등에 주로 사용되어 왔으나 환경 및 인체유해성이 밝혀짐에 따라 생산 및 사용이 금지된 물질로써 국내에서는 절연유 중 PCBs 분석이 전력산업과 변압기 절연유의 재활용 및 처리 분야에서 매우 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 현행 폐기물공정시험방법은 분석절차가 까다롭고 고가의 분석비용이 소모되며 고도로 훈련된 분석인력이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보다 저렴한 비용으로 신속하게 PCB를 분석할 수 있는 간이 분석법을 개발하고자 하였다. 현행 폐기물공정시험방법에 대한 기술적 검토를 수행하여 복잡한 전처리 절차를 축소하고 번거로운 정성 및 정량작업을 간소화한 결과, 분석비용은 약 1/2, 분석시간은 약 1/3로 줄일 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 간이 분석법을 현행 공정시험법과 적절히 병행하여 사용 할 경우 폐 변압기의 신속한 분석이 가능하여 분석비용 절감에 따른 큰 경제적 효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다.

발 변전설비 중 중요한 설비의 하나로 손꼽히는 변압기는 운전 중 신뢰성 확보가 관건이라 할 수 있다. 최근 안정적 전력공급에 대한 요구가 증대됨에 따라 변압기 이상진단 기술지원 요청이 매년 증가하고 있으며, 특히 절연과 냉각작용이 주기능인 전기절연유의 자체 품질관리는 변압기 예방진단을 위해 시행하고 있는 유중가스분석 못지않게 중요하다. 이에 전력연구원에서는 1999년 전산가 간이측정 기구를 개발하여 별도의 분석의뢰 없이 현장에서 바로 측정하여 절연유의 품질관리에 적용할 수 있도록 한 바 있다. 본 논문은 2008년 1월부터 4개월간 12개 전력관리처에 배분하여 66kV이상 급 모든 변압기의 전산가 현장측정을 완료하고 이에 대한 적용결과와 현장적용성을 검토하였다.

Polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs) are a group of highly toxic chlorinated industrial chemicals used as dielectrics, coolants and lubricants in electrical transformers. This article reviewed the state-of-the-art on technologies for decomposition of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), one of the persistent organic materials (POPs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of decontaminating PCBs contaminated pollutants using treatment technologies such as chemical dechlorination, photodegradation and biological transformation.
