  • This paper focuses on construction cost volatility for the purpose of private sector investment by use of a financial model with key indices of IRR and DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio). A case project, 1,000 MW pumped storage hydropower plant, has shown that its financial impacts by cost volatility of underground works are less measured than interest rates impacts by interest rate of loans. Probabilistic analysis of costs under geotechnical conditions has been made by Indicator Kriging method. And, in the modeling of interest rates, geometric Brownian motion has been applied. Both of these impacts are measured on the same financial model.

  • This paper deals with the Harmonics on the power lines in the computer room. The voltage and current at each phase of electric power from UPS to the load must be ensured less than 5% distortion rates according to the regulation terms from KEPC(Korea Electric Power Corporation) and the KSC4310 Uninterruptible Power Supply regulation. However, measurements show that the voltage distortion rate conforms those regulations but the current distortion rate exceeds much the limit. This current distortion is stabilized from 34.98% to 15.22% nearly half by an AC current filter.

  • Two dosimeters are provided to radiation workers participating in tasks where high radiation exposure is expected during maintenance at nuclear power plants. At Korean nuclear power plants, two dosimeters are currently provided for tasks where exposure rates exceed 1 mSv/hr, the difference of equivalent dose to specific parts of the body is more than 30% and an exposure of more than 2 mSv is expected in a single task. These conditions for the provisioning of two dosimeters are based on previous field test results, and it is recommended that the dosimeters be worn on the chest and back. It was also found that the workers felt it was more convenient when they wore two dosimeters on chest and back rather than on chest and head. After the application of previous field test results to practice, it was found that the calculated effective dose for workers during radiation work was lower than the maximum dose of chest or back dosimeter by approximately 10%-30%. This performance is regarded not only to meet the international guideline but also to provide convenience for workers during radiation work.

  • Electricity can be generated when the natural gas passes through a turbo-expander pressure reduction system at natural gas pressure reduction stations. Efficiency of the turbo-expander depends on the ratio of the natural gas flow rates to the design flow rate of the turbo-expander. Therefore, the optimal conditions for the operation of the pressure reduction system can be determined by controlling the natural gas flow rates. In this study, we have calculated the electric energy generation depending on the natural gas flow rates at the two low-pressure reduction stations when the pressure of the natural gas is reduced from 17.5 bar to 8.5 bar and have found the optimal conditions for the turbo-expander pressure reduction system through the comparison with the calculation results. The turbo-expander generates the electric power efficiently for the high natural gas flow rates which variations are slight. The determined design flow rate of the turbo-expander has the highest coverage of the natural gas flow rates. The electricity generation is calculated as much as 9 MW(B station) and 12 MW(D station) at each pressure reduction station.

  • As the energy consumption increases continuously, the emission amount of air pollutants is growing, and after all it can influence the global environment as welt as the regional atmosphere. So, the clean energy which emits less air pollutants should be developed and widely used to reduce emission of pollutants. Electricity, known for clean energy in the side of consumption, is not actually clean in the process of generation. Electric power is generated using fossil fuels which produce acidic gases like $SO_{2}$, $NO_{x}$, etc. The emission rates of $SO_{2}$, $NO_{x}$, $CO_{2}$ are 2g,0.78g and 1 l0g per electric power generating Ikwh. If one light(60 watt bulb) be turned off at each house for a month electricity will be saved about 1.Skillion kwh a year. This is almost the same as 4,170 tons of $SO_{2}$ and $NO_{x}$. As a result the economization of electricity will be one of the effective strategy to reduce the air pollution and to keep our life clean and comfortable.

  • 대기중에 위치한 뇌운안에 전하가 떠다니는 상태에서는 구름안과 주변에 높은 전계의 전위가 발생한다. 이 전하가 축적되면 대지 방전이 발생하고 송전선로 등에 뇌격이 침입하게 된다. 뇌 방전은 수 km에 달하는 대기중에 발생하는 거대한 전기현상이지만 이 낙뢰가 전기의 흐름이라는 것은 벤자민 프랭클린의 현장 시험에 대해 최초로 증명되었다. 이러한 대기중에 발생하는 거대한 전기현상인 낙뢰가 송전선로에 침입하여 송선선로 애자련을 섬락시키는 과정은 대단히 복잡한 전자기적인 현상이다. 그것은 가스 방전 현상, 감속에 중요한 역할을 하는 전자계의 빠른 변화, 도체와 철탑에 나타나는 코로 나와 관련된 비선형 효과 및 주파수 및 전류와 관련된 대지의 임피던스 통 다양한 현상이 종합적으로 관련된다. 따라서 가공 송전선로의 낙뢰에 대한 동작특성의 평가시 낙뢰 현상의 불규칙한 특성 및 신뢰할만한 데이터의 부족에 따른 많은 불확실성이 존재한다. 이 때문에 가공 송전선로에서 낙뢰에 의한 트립(Trip) 사고수의 계산을 위해 단순화된 방법이 아주 유용하며 효과적일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 EGM (Electrogeometric Model) 모델을 사용하여 대지경사자의 크기에 따른 차폐실패 트립 사고율의 영향을 검토하였다.

  • 산업이 고도화되고 전력수요가 증가함에 따라 전력의 안정적인 공급에 대한 국민들의 요구가 점점 증가하고 있다. 그러나 전력을 수송하는 대부분의 송전선로는 가공 송선선로로서 낙뢰에 의한 고장에 노출되어 있어 한전에서는 이를 최소화하려는 노력을 하고 있다. 현재 한전에서는 년간 100km당 1건 이내로 낙뢰에 의한 고장을 제한하는 것을 목표치로 설계하여 운영하고 있으나 낙뢰에 의한 고장을 더욱 감소시키기 위하여 각종 내뢰 시책을 시행하고 있다. 이를 위해서는 근본적으로 낙뢰에 의한 송전선로의 고장을 가능한한 정확하게 예측하는 것이 중요하며, 본 논문에서는 낙뢰 고장 예측 계산을 위해 중요한 요소인 차폐실패 고장률 계산 알고리즘을 검토하고자 한다.

  • The forced cooling system has been widely applied to passing more electric current in the underground power transmission cable technology. In this paper, the optimum cooling span of the in-trough-indirect water cooling method within an electric tunnel was investigated. A parametric study was performed for the cable currents, the coolant flow rates, and the coolant inlet temperatures. As a result, the temperature of the inlet air has been found as the most important parameter in determination of the optimum cooling span.
