본 연구에서는 조력발전소 배수갑문의 형상과 배치에 따른 방류능력을 해석하는데 3차원 수치모의가 효과적으로 이용될 수 있음을 보였다. 3차원 수치모형은 RANS를 지배방정식으로 하는 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하였다. 본 연구결과 배수갑문의 방류능력은 물받이길이와 도류벽의 접근각도에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이의 개선 여부에 따라 $10\%$ 이상의 방류량 차이가 발생하였다. 또한 방류량은 배수문과 수차구조물을 연결하는 구조물의 형상과 물받이 끝 사면경사의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 배수갑문의 설계시 방류능력 개선을 위해서는 수리학적 검토가 필요하며, 수치모형실험이 수리모형실험과 더불어 유용한 해석도구로 이용될 수 있음을 보였다.

This presentation describes an experimental approach for the detection of cavitation in hydraulic machines by use of ultrasonic signal analysis. Instead of using the high frequency pulses (typically 1MHz) only for transit time measurement different other signal characteristics are extracted from the individual signals and its correlation function with reference signals in order to gain knowledge of the water conditions. As the pulse repetition rate is high (typically 100Hz), statistical parameters can be extracted of the signals. The idea is to find patterns in the parameters by a classifier that can distinguish between the different water states. This classification scheme has been applied to different cavitation sections: a sphere in a water flow in circular tube at the HSLU in Lucerne, a NACA profile in a cavitation tunnel and two Francis model test turbines all at LMH in Lausanne. From the signal raw data several statistical parameters in the time and frequency domain as well as from the correlation function with reference signals have been determined. As classifiers two methods were used: neural feed forward networks and decision trees. For both classification methods realizations with lowest complexity as possible are of special interest. It is shown that two to three signal characteristics, two from the signal itself and one from the correlation function are in many cases sufficient for the detection capability. The final goal is to combine these results with operating point, vibration, acoustic emission and dynamic pressure information such that a distinction between dangerous and not dangerous cavitation is possible.

우리나라 남서해안의 조차는 지역에 따라 3~8m까지 발생하며 이 지역의 풍력기초들은 조류의 다양한 흐름에 의한 세굴로 전체 구조물에 예상치 못한 진동에 의한 장기적인 불안정성이 야기될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 흐름방향을 고려할 수 있도록 개선된 관수로식 수리저항성능 실험기를 이용하여 압밀압력과 흐름방향의 변화가 지반의 수리저항성능에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험결과 양방향 흐름에 노출된 시료의 세굴률이 일방향 흐름에서보다 크며, 한계전단응력은 감소하여 세굴에 더욱 취약해지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 압밀압력이 증가함에 따라 세립질 토사의 한계전단응력과 같은 수리저항특성은 증가하여 세굴에 대한 저항성이 증가하나 조립토의 수리저항 성능은 크게 변화하지 않았다. 지반공학적 특성과 수리저항특성의 상관관계를 검토한 결과, 비배수전단강도는 한계전단응력과 비례관계이며 세립토 및 조립토의 흙 분류와 관계없이 하나의 상관관계로 효과적으로 한계전단응력을 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며 전단파 속도는 한계전단응력과 비례관계에 있으며 조립토와 세립토의 영역에 따라 비교적 명확히 구분되었다.

This paper presents a CFD-based methodology for the prediction of guide vane torque in hydraulic turbine distributor for aligned and misaligned configurations. A misaligned or desynchronized configuration occurs when the opening angle of one guide vane differs from the opening angle of all other guide vanes, which may lead to a torque increase on neighbouring guide vanes. A fully automated numerical procedure is presented, that automates computations for a complete range of operation of a 2D or 3D distributor. Results are validated against laboratory measurements.

The aim of this study was comparative analysis of sediment-induced erosion on optimized design and traditional design of Francis runner blade. The analysis was conducted through laboratory experiments in a test rig called Rotating Disc Apparatus. The results showed that the extent of erosion was significantly less in the optimized design when compared based on the material loss. It was observed that the optimized design could reduce sediment erosion by about 14.4% if it was used in place of the reference design for entire duration of the experiment. Based on the observations and results obtained, it has been concluded that the optimization of hydraulic design of blade profile of Francis runner can significantly reduce the effect of sediment-induced erosion.

원자력/화력 발전소에서 사용중인 터빈출력제어장치(turbine power control device)는 유압 서보액추에이터(hydraulic servo actuator)로 구동하는 특수 스팀 밸브(steam valve)로서 터빈의 속도를 제어하고 스팀을 차단하는 기능이 있다. 대형 발전기(500~1000Mw)를 구동하여 양질의 전기를 생산하기 위해서는 발전기에 연결된 고압 및 저압터빈에 최적량의 스팀을 공급하여야 하고, 고속(화력 3600 rpm, 원자력 1800 rpm)으로 회전하는 터빈이나 스팀계통에 이상이 발생할 경우 터빈의 과속(over speed) 방지를 위하여, 즉시 터빈으로 공급되는 스팀을 차단하여 터빈을 보호해야 한다. 따라서 터빈의 속도제어와 계통의 스팀 량을 감시하여 차단하는 발전소의 특수 밸브의 신뢰성확보기술이 요구된다. 특히 원자력발전소의 경우 핵연료교환주기(약 24개월)에 밸브들을 정비 또는 교체하고 있어 이때마다 시스템과 매칭(튜닝)기술이 요구되었다. 본 연구에서는 전량 수입에 의존했던 원자력/화력 발전소의 특수 밸브인 터빈출력제어장치의 국산화 개발과 신뢰성확보기술 효과에 대하여 논하였다.

Microcomputer-based PID governor which can be provided either stability or rapid response for small hydro power plant at low cost is developed and adapted to the 5 KW model hydro power for the performance test. The effects of PID gains on stability boundaries of the hydraulic turbine generating system is investigated. For the optimum selection of the PID gains, general equations are derived on the base of the experiments. This control system has a good performance at the model of hydro power plant. For the prediction of the control system, a mathematical model was developed and the results of the simulation using this model was matched with the experimental results.

The control performances of a fuzzy controller depend on its control rules, I/O membership functions, and scaling factors. Scaling factors are very important to adjust control parameters to the process which is to be controlled. For tuning the sealing factors, trial and error method is used in conventional fuzzy controller, which is very difficult and time consuming. This paper proposes a tuning method of scaling factors based on the concept of tuning rules for the conventional Pl controller parameters. The proposed automatic tuning fuzzy controller was evaluated by computer simulations. Good results have been obtained for the small hydro power plant.

Crack initiation and propagation of blades is a serious matter in turbomachinery. Outages are common due to these problems that occur during the service of the machine resulting in a huge loss of revenue. Once in a while, the problems become serious and cause major shutdowns which can in some cases result in the loss of the whole machine in a catastrophic manner. In this presentation, we will discuss the crack initiation studies of a hydraulic machine runner blade by local stress strain approach and crack propagation at the root of a low pressure stage steam turbine blade by means of stress intensity factor approach. In both the cases, we will show how the present day technologies can predict actual field observations.

The effect of inlet velocity profile on the heat transfer coefficient in a rotating smooth channel was investigated experimentally. Three simulated inlet flow conditions of fully developed, uniform, and distorted inlet conditions were tested. The Reynolds number based on the channel hydraulic diameter was ranged from 10,000 to 30,000 and the transient liquid crystal technique was used to measure the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient in the rotating channel. Results showed that the overall heat transfer coefficient increased as the Reynolds number increased. Also, the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient was strongly affected by the inlet flow condition. Generally, the fully developed flow simulated condition showed the highest heat transfer coefficient.
