생산지로부터 LNG 선박으로 수송되어 각 생산기지의 저장탱크로 저장되는 액화천연가스 (LNG; Liquified Natural Gas)는 극저은인 Boiling Point보다 약간 낮은 온도 ($-162^{\circ}C$)로 전송된다. LNG 전송은 배관을 통하여 이루어지며, 이로 인하여 배관 내에는 2상 유동 (2-Phase Flow)이 자주 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 이러한 배관내의 2상 유동대한 압력강하량 계산법을 연구하였고, 단열재와 배관 표면을 통한 외부 열유입량과 그에 따른 BOG (Boil-off Gas) 발생량 계산 방법을 연구하여, 이들을 기반으로 LNG 배관시스템의 열유동 해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 본 연구 및 프로그램 개발을 토대로 최적의 단열재 두께와 배관 Size를 구할 수 있는 최적 설계 프로그램을 구축하였다. 이는 배관설계 시 주어진 최대 허용 압력 강하량과 BOG 발생량 등의 허용 운전 조건과, 단위 길이 당 배관가격과 단위 부피당 단열재가격을 기준으로 허용 범위 내의 최소 설비 비용을 찾는 최적 설계 방법이다.

This paper introduces a simple nonlinear adaptive control method for pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) flow in natural gas pipeline. The dynamic behavior of the PIG depends on the different pressure across its body and the bypass flow through it. The system dynamics includes: dynamics of driving gas flow behind the PIG, dynamics of expelled gas in front of the PIG, and dynamics of the PIG. The method of characteristics (MOC) and Runger-Kuta method are used to solve the dynamics of flow. The PIG velocity is controlled through the amount of bypass flow across its body. A simple nonlinear adaptive controller based on the backstepping method is introduced. To derive the controller, three system parameters should be measured: the PIG position, its velocity and the velocity of bypass flow across the PIG body. The simulation has been done with a pipeline segment in the KOGAS low pressure system, Ueijungboo-Sangye line to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller. Three cases of interest are considered: the PIG starts to move at its launcher, the PIG arrives at its receiver and the PIG restarts after stopping in the pipeline by obstruction. The simulation results show that the proposed nonlinear adaptive controller attained good performance and can be used for controlling the PIG velocity.

This paper deals with verification of the theoretical model for dynamic behavior of Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) traveling through high pressure natural gas pipeline. The dynamic behavior of the PIG depends on the differential pressure across its body. This differential pressure is generated by injected gas flow behind the tail of the PIG and expelled gas flow in front of its nose. To analyze the dynamic behavior characteristics such as gas flow in pipeline, and the PIG position and velocity, not only the mathematical models are derived, but also the theoretical models must be certified by actual pigging experiment. But there is not any found results of research on the experimental certification for dynamic behavior of the PIG. The reason is why the fabrication of the PIG as well as, a field application are very difficult. In this research, the effectiveness of the introduced solution using the method of characteristics (MOC) was certified through field application. In-line inspection tool, 30" geometry PIG, was fabricated and actual pigging was carried out at the pipeline segment in Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) high pressure system, Incheon LT (LNG Terminal) -Namdong GS (Governor Station) line. Pigging is fulfilled successfully. Comparison of simulation results with experimental results show that the derived mathematical models and the proposed computational schemes are effective for predicting the position and velocity of the PIG with a given operational conditions of pipeline.

The fatigue crack growth behavior of high strength X80 pipeline steel was investigated with compact tension specimens that crack growth directions were aligned either parallel or normal to the rolling direction of the pipeline. Also, the fatigue crack growth rates for welded joint of X80 pipeline steel were investigated with compact tension specimens that crack growth directions were aligned either parallel or normal to the welding line. The experimental results indicated the fatigue crack growth behavior was markedly different in three zones, weld metal, heat affected zone and base metal of welded joints. There was a trend toward increment in the fatigue life of weld metal and heat affected zone as compared with the X80 pipeline steel.

극한지 천연가스 배관의 운전온도 범위는 가스 공급을 최적화하고 운전동안 극한지 환경에 대한 충격을 최소화하기 위해 기본적으로 제어되어야 한다. 배관에 흐르는 가스의 온도는 Joule-Thomson 효과와 배관과 토양의 열전달에 의존한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 매설 천연가스 배관의 열전달과 Joule-Thomson 효과를 상세히 고려하였다. 토양온도는 $0{\sim}-20^{\circ}C$, 총괄열전달계수는 $0{\sim}5.5W/m^2K$로 가정하였다. 토양온도와 총괄열전달계수 변화에 따른 배관 길이방향의 가스온도 변화와 압력손실을 동시에 계산하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 HYSYS 프로그램을 사용하여 토양온도와 총괄열전달계수에 따른 상변화와 하이드레이트 생성을 예측하였다.

전력선에 지락고장이 발생할 경우 대지로 유입된 고장전류에 의하여 인접한 배관에 아크 용융이 발생하면 가스폭발이나 기름유출과 같은 대형사고를 발생시킬 수 있으며, 배관의 유지 및 보수를 담당하는 작업자의 안전에도 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 대지를 통한 철탑과 배관 사이의 아크 발생에 대하여 알아보고, 국내외에서 사용되고 있는 철탑 인근에 매설된 배관의 이격거리 기준을 조사하였다.

Pressurized gas pipelines are subject to harmful effects from both the surrounding environment and the materials passing through them. Reliable assessment procedures, including fracture mechanics analyses, are required to maintain their integrity. Currently, integrity assessments are performed using conventional deterministic approaches, even though there are many uncertainties to hinder rational evaluations. Therefore, in this study, a probabilistic approach was considered for gas pipeline evaluations. The objectives were to estimate the failure probability of a corroded pipeline in the gas and oil industries and to propose limited operating conditions for different types of loadings. To achieve these objectives, a probabilistic assessment program was developed using a reliability index and simulation techniques, and applied to evaluate the failure probabilities of a corroded API-5L-X52 gas pipeline subjected to internal pressures, bending moments, and combined loadings. The results demonstrated the potential of the probabilistic integrity assessment program.

본 논문에서는 자기 누설 탐상법을 이용하여 획득한 자기 누설 신호에 SQI(self quotient image)를 적용하여 지하에 매설된 가스 배관에 발생한 결함의 길이를 추정하는 방법을 소개한다. 자기 누설 탐상 시스템(MFL)이 지나간 가스 배관은 탐상 시스템의 영구 자석에 의해 착자(magnetization) 된다. 착자된 가스 배관에 결함이나 부식 등의 손상이 있을 경우 손상 부위에서는 누설 자속이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 자기 누설 탐상 시스템의 홀센서를 이용하여 누설 자속을 계측한 후 SQI를 적용하여 결함의 길이를 추정한다. 한국가스공사(KOGAS)의 모의 시험 배관(KPSF)에 설치된 74개의 인공결함에 대해 제안한 알고리즘과 기존의 결함 길이 추정 알고리즘들의 성능을 비교하였다.

This paper introduces modeling and solution for the dynamics of pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) flow in natural gas pipeline. Without of bypass flow, the dynamic behavior of the PIG depends on the different pressure between the rear and nose parts, which is generated by injected gas flow behind the tail of the PIG and expelled gas flow in front of its nose. With bypass flow, the PIG dynamics also depends on the amount of bypass flow across its body. The mathematical model are derived for unsteady compressible flow of the PIG driving and expelled gas, and for dynamics of the PIG. The bypass flow is assumed to be incompressible with the condition of its Mach number smaller than 0.45. The method of characteristic (MOC) and the Runge-Kutta method are used to solve the system governing equations. The simulation is performed with a pipeline segment in the Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) low pressure system, Ueijungboo-Sangye line. The simulation results show that the derived mathematical model and the proposed solution are effective for estimation the dynamics of the PIG with and without bypass flow under given operational condition.
