오늘날 전기제품의 다양화, 대용량화와 더불어 전기화재의 발생이 점차 증가하고 있다. 반면 저압 배전계통에서 사용되고 있는 기존의 과부하겸용 누전차단기 즉, RCD의 저조한 응답특성으로 인한 전기화재 원인의 대부분을 차지하는 단락사고 및 과부하사고에 대한 대응이 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기존 RCD에 대한 모의 사고실험을 통하여 그 비신뢰성을 확인하고, 이러한 RCD의 단점을 개선하고자 고정밀 전류센서를 이용한 전기화재 방재장치를 제안하여 저압 배전계통에서의 단락 및 과부하사고로 인한 전기재해를 방지하고자 한다. 제안한 장치의 고정밀 전류센서로 사용된 리드스위치는 각종 전기사고에서 수반되는 단락전류 및 과전류에 의한 배전선로의 상승된 자속을 정밀 감지한 후, 자체 차단장치를 동작시키거나 또는 기 설치된 RCD를 신속히 차단시키는 이중 보호용 제어 동작원리를 가진다. 다양한 동작특성 분석을 통해 기존의 차단기와 비교하여 차단동작 응답속도와 신뢰성이 입증된다. 이로써 제안한 전기화재 방재장치는 기존 RCD들의 빈번한 오동작과 비신뢰성, 저조한 응답특성으로 인한 각종 전기사고 및 전기화재의 발생을 방지하고자 한다.

It is important to develop new effective technologies to increase the interruption capacity and to reduce the size of a UB(Gas Circuit Breakers). Major design parameters such as nozzle geometries and interrupting chamber dimensions affect the cooling of the arc and the breaking performance. But it is not easy to test real GCB model in practice as in theory. Therefore, a simulation tool based on a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) algorithm has been developed to facilitate an optimization of the interrupter. Special attention has been paid to the supersonic flow phenomena between contacts and the observation of hat-gas flow for estimating the breaking performance. However, there are many difficult problems in calculating the flow characteristics in a GCB such as shock wave and complex geometries, which may be either static or in relative motion. Although a number of mesh generation techniques are now available, the generation of meshes around complicated, multi-component geometries like a GCB is still a tedious and difficult task for the computational fluid dynamics. This paper presents the CFD program using CFB-CAD integration technique based on Cartesian cut-cell method, which could reduce researcher's efforts to generate the mesh and achieve the accurate representation of the geometry designed by a CAD tools.

Power system engineers use power systems solution programs such as PSS/E, DSATool, Power World simulators for power system analysis. In this reason, KEPCO has begun to develop independent power system program, KW-PSS(KEPCO World Power system Solution) since 2002 and KW-PSS ver2.0 development was completed in 2011. However, it did not have much better functions compared with other programs. Therefore, we focused on the development of the practical and specialized functions. Consequently, PAZ(Power system AnalyZer) ver3.0 has been developed and it realized a differentiation than previous version. In other words, previous version focused on the basic function of power system analysis, PAZ ver3.0 has implemented many automated functions for power system operators were driven maximize operational efficiency. The unique feature of the implementation is as follows : Automated check for exceeding the breaker capacity, Scheduled outage automation, Control-file wizard for various voltage stability analysis, Scenario-based multiple transient stability analysis and Auto calculation of transmission line impedance. As shown in these functions, Those functions provide to use power system analysis easily by automation and simplification for power system engineers. We will secure national expertise through PAZ ver3.0. In addition it will be able to gain competitive edge through the steady development in the world market.

This study is intended to identify issues on the basis of investigating the actual state of laboratory environment and outlet circuit, and derive end states by expressing sequences from the initiating event of disaster to accident in leakage current, poor contact and overload through ETA(event tree analysis). To this end, this study investigated the actual state of electric equipment of laboratory at universities in all parts of country. And it is shown that most of them are failure in electric work and user negligence in the investigation of actual state. It is found that there is earth fault and defect in wire diameter in the failure of electric work and the problem of partial disconnection due to wire bundling and poor contact in user negligence. Outlet-related component, failure rate and initiating events are composed of a total of 41 initiating events, i.e., 30 internal initiating events and 11 external initiating events. And end states are composed of a total of 15 parts, i.e., 3 electric power parts and 12 safety parts. Earthing class 3 is the most important safety device against leakage current (initiating event). And in case of poor contact, it is necessary for manager to check thoroughly because there is no safety device. In case of overload/overcurrent, when high-capacity equipment is connected, a molded case circuit breaker, safety device, worked. However, in most cases, it is verified that this doesn't work. This study can be utilized as electric equipment safety guide for laboratory safety manager and managers.

본 연구에서는 자흡식 마이크로버블 발생장치를 운전함에 있어서 수심 변화에 의한 수압이 산소 용해율에 미치는 영향에 대하여 평가하였다. 연구결과, 흡입 공기량의 경우 수압이 증가할수록 노즐 토출부에 작용하는 힘의 증가로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 산소전달계수는 수심이 증가할수록 수압 증가에 의한 흡입 공기량 감소와 반응조 용적의 증가로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 수심이 증가할수록 자흡식 마이크로버블 발생장치에서 발생되는 마이크로버블의 체류시간이 증가하여 산소 용해율은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 자흡식 마이크로버블 발생장치 용량에 대비하여 수심이 과도하게 깊을 경우 낮은 흡입 공기량 및 산소전달계수로 인하여 산소 용해율은 감소할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 자흡식 마이크로버블 발생장치 운전 시 수압이 중요한 고려사항이 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
