화력발전이 많은 비중을 차지하는 전력생산 산업은 온실가스($CO_2$)의 최대 배출 원으로 알려져 있으며 증가하는 전력 수요 뿐 만 아니라 다가오는 기후변화협약에 대응하기 위하여 $CO_2$ 회수 및 공정 개선에 관한 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. 특히 현재 연구되고 있는 전력분야의 대표적인 $CO_2$ 회수기술은 연소 후 포집(Post-combustion capture), 순산소 연소(Oxy-fuel combustion), 연소전 탈탄소화(Pre-combustion) 3가지로 구분된다. 이중 연소전 탈탄소화 기술은 석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC) 기술과 연계하여 $CO_2$를 회수할 수 있는 방법으로 가스화 된 석탄가스에 Water-Gas Shift 반응과, $CO_2$ 분리로 얻어진 탈 탄소 연료를 통해서 전력을 생산한다. 이 기술의 핵심은 생성된 $CO_2/H_2$ 복합가스로부터 $CO_2$를 분리하는 공정으로 차세대 회수 기술로는 Membrance Reactor, SOFC, Oxygen Ion Transfer Membrane(OTM), 그리고 가스 하이드레이트가 있다. 이중 가스 하이드레이트는 $CO_2$의 회수 뿐 만 아니라 처리 기술에도 적용 가능하지만 우리나라에는 이에 관한 기술이 전무한 형편이다. 본 연구에서는 가스 하이드레이트 형성원리를 이용하여 정온 정압 조건에서 $CO_2/H_2$ 하이드레이트를 제조하였으며 특히, 하이드레이트 형성 촉진제인 THF(Tetrahydrofuran)를 첨가하여 THF 농도에 따른 상평형 및 속도론 실험을 수행 하였다. 이러한 연구는 연소전 탄소화 기술에서의 $CO_2$ 회수 분리에 대한 핵심 연구임과 동시에 탄소배출권 규제에 실질적인 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Much of the information is stored as data, research has been activated for analyzing the data and predicting the special circumstances. In the case of power data, the studies, such as research of renewable energy utilization, power prediction depending on site characteristics, smart grid, and micro-grid, is actively in progress. In this paper, we propose a power prediction model using the substation environment data. In this case, we try to verify the power prediction result to reflect the multiple arguments on the power and weather data, rather than a simple power data. The validation process is the effect of multiple factors compared to other two methods, one of power prediction result considering power data and the other result using power pattern data that have been made in the similar weather data. Our system shows that it can achieve max prediction error of less than 15%.

Korean manufacturing industry have recently faced the catch-up of China in the mass commodity product, such as automotive, display, and smart phone in terms of market as well as technology. Accordingly, discussion on the importance of achieving catch-up in complex product systems (CoPS) has been increasing as a new innovation engine for the industry. In order to achieve successful catch-up of CoPS, we explored emerging technologies of CoPS, which are featured by the characteristics of radical novelty, relatively fast growth and self-sustaining, through the study of emerging technologies of gas turbine for power generation. We found that emerging technologies of the gas turbine are technologies for combustion nozzle and composition of electrical machine for increasing power efficiency, washing technology for particulate matter, cast and material processing technology for enhancing durability from fatigue, cooling technologies from extremely high temperature, interconnection operation technology between renewable energy and the gas turbine for flexibility in power generation, and big data technology for remote monitoring and diagnosis of the gas turbine. We also found that those emerging technologies resulted in technological progress of the gas turbine by converging with other conventional technologies in the gas turbine. It indicates that emerging technologies in CoPS can be appeared on various technological knowledge fields and have complementary relationship with conventional technologies for technology progress of CoPS. It also implies that latecomers need to pursue integrated learning that includes emerging technologies as well as conventional technologies rather than independent learning related to emerging technologies for successful catch-up of CoPS. Our findings provide an important initial theoretical ground for investigating the emerging technologies and their characteristics in CoPS as well as recognizing knowledge management strategy for successful catch-up of latecomers. Our findings also contribute to the policy development of the CoPS from the perspective of innovation strategy and knowledge management.

In this paper, the comparative steady-state operating performance analysis algorithms of the stand-alone single-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is presented on the basis of the two nodal admittance approaches using the per-unit frequency in addition to a new state variable de-fined by the per-unit slip frequency. The main significant features of the proposed operating circuit analysis with the per-unit slip frequency as a state variable are that the fast effective solution could be achieved with the simple mathematical computation effort. The operating performance results in the simulation of the single-phase SEIG evaluated by using the per-unit slip frequency state variable are compared with those obtained by using the per-unit frequency state variable. The comparative operating performance results provide the close agreements between two steady-state analysis performance algorithms based on the electro-mechanical equivalent circuit of the single-phase SEIG. In addition to these, the single-phase static VAR compensator; SVC composed of the thyristor controlled reactor; TCR in parallel with the fixed excitation capacitor; FC and the thyristor switched capacitor; TSC is ap-plied to regulate the generated terminal voltage of the single-phase SEIG loaded by a variable inductive passive load. The fixed gain PI controller is employed to adjust the equivalent variable excitation capacitor capacitance of the single-phase SVC.

We have a lot of interest in alternative fuels to provide energy independence from oil producing country and to reduce exhaust emissions for air pollution prevention. Biodiesel, which can be generated from natural renewable sources such as new or used vegetable oils or animal fats, may be used as fuel without change of engine structure in diesel engine of compression ignition engine. In this paper, the test results on specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of neat diesel oil and biodiesel blends(10 vol.% biodiesel and 20 vol.% biodiesel) were presented using four stroke, direct injection diesel engine. Especially this biodisel was produced from rape oil at our laboratory by ourselves. This study showed that specific fuel consumption and NOx emission were slightly increased, on the other hand CO emission and Soot were tolerably decreased more in the case of biodiesel blends than neat diesel oil.

(HFC(hydrofluorocarbon, 수소불화탄소)는 오존층 파괴 지수가 낮기 때문에 CFC(chlorofluorocarbon)의 대체 물질로 냉매와 발포제로 널리 사용되고 있는 물질이다. 하지만 HFC는 지구온난화 지수가 높은 기체이므로 대기중으로 방출되는 것을 막기 위해 분리/회수하여 재활용하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 공기와 HFC의 혼합기체로부터 HFC만을 분리해 내는 방법으로 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 제안하였다. 이 방법의 열역학적 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 질소+HFC-134a 혼합기체에 대하여 275-285 K의 온도 범위와 1-27 bar의 압력범위에 걸쳐서 가스 하이드레이트 상평형을 측정하였다. 질소는 가스 하이드레이트를 형성하기 위하여 0 $^{\circ}C$에서 150 bar 이상의 높은 압력이 필요한 반면 HFC-134a는 대기압에 가까운 낮은 압력이 필요하다. 두 기체의 평형 압력의 차가 크다는 것은 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 이용할 경우 기체의 분리 효율이 매우 높다는 것을 나타낸다. 그리고, 본 실험을 통해서 얻어진 혼합기체의 하이드레이트상(H)-액상($L_W$)-기상(V)의 3상 평형선이 순수한 HFC-134a의 3상 평형선에 가깝게 위치하였다. 이는 가스 하이드레이트를 이용한 분리법이 낮은 압력에서 운전될 수 있음을 나타낸다. 이 분리법은 낮은 압력에서 운전되어 경제적일 뿐만 아니라 물 이외의 다른 매개체를 사용하지 않기 때문에 환경 친화적인 공정이라 할 수 있다.

Partail oxidation(POX) of n-butane was investigated in this research by employing ceria-promoted Ni/calcium hydroxyapatite catalysts ($Ce_xNi_{2.5}Ca_{10}(OH)_2(PO_4)_6$ ; x = $0.1{\sim}0.3$) which had recently been reported to exhibit good catalytic performance in POX of methane and propane. The experiments were carried out with changing ceria content, $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio and temperature. As the $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ feed ratio increased up to 2.75, n-$C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H_2$ yield increased and the selectivity of methane and other hydrocarbons decreased. But with $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ = 3.0, $n-C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H_2$ yield decreased. This is considered due to that too much oxygen may inhibit the reduction of Ni or induce the oxidation of Ni, which results in poor catalytic activity. The optimum $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio lay between 2.50 and 2.75. $Ce_{0.1}Ni_{2.5}Ca_{10}(OH)_2(PO_4)_6$ showed the highest $n-C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H-2$ yield on the whole. In durability tests, higher hydrogen yield and better catalyst stability were obtained with the $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio of 2.75 than with the ratio of 2.5.

Ejector system is a device to transport a low-pressure secondary flow by using a high-pressure primary flow. Ejector system is, in general, composed of a primary nozzle, a mixing section, a casing part for suction of secondary flow and a diffuser. It can induce the secondary flow or affect the secondary chamber pressure by both shear stress and pressure drop which are generated in the primary jet boundary. Ejector system is simple in construction and has no moving parts, so it can not only compress and transport a massive capacity of fluid without trouble, but also has little need for maintenance. Ejectors are widely used in a range of applications such as a turbine-based combined-cycle propulsion system and a high altitude test facility for rocket engine, pressure recovery system, desalination plant and ejector ramjet etc. The primary interest of this study is to set up an applicable model and operating conditions for an ejector in the condition of sonic and subsonic, which can be extended to the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Experimental and theoretical investigation on the sonic and subsonic ejectors with a converging-diverging diffuser was carried out. Optimization technique and numerical simulation was adopted for an optimal geometry design and satisfying the required performance at design point of ejector for hydrogen recirculation. Also, some sonic and subsonic ejectors with the function of changing nozzle position were manufactured precisely and tested for the comparison with the calculation results.

지열류량은 지열자원 개발 시 지열 이상대를 찾는데 있어서 중요한 자료로 사용된다. 우리나라의 지체구조별 지열류량 평균은 경기육괴 66 $mW/m^2$, 옥천습곡대 65 $mW/m^2$, 영남육괴 60 $mW/m^2$, 경상분지 72 $mW/m^2$, 연일분지 75 $mW/m^2$이다. 이러한 대륙 내의 지표 지열류량은 상부 지각내의 방사성 동위원소 붕괴에 의한 열생산율(${\sim}40%$)과 하부지각 및 상부맨틀에서부터 전도되어 올라온 지열류량(${\sim}60%$)으로 설명할 수 있다. 따라서 지열류량의 결정에 있어서 열생산율의 정보는 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 열생산율은 지각 내에 존재하는 주요 방사성 동위 원소인 U, Th, K의 붕괴열에 의한 것이며, 열생산율의 측정은 gamma-ray log 자료를 이용하는 방법과 화학분석을 통한 방법이 있다. 이 연구에서는 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 총 123개(화강암 86개, 편마암 37개) 지점에서의 열생산율을 산출하였다. 화강암의 열생산율 평균은 2.15 ${\mu}W/m^3$이며, 편마암의 열생산율 평균은 2.22 ${\mu}W/m^3$로 나타났다. 지체구조별 열생산율의 평균은 경기육괴 2.52 ${\mu}W/m^3$, 옥천습곡대 2.16 ${\mu}W/m^3$, 영남육괴 2.35 ${\mu}W/m^3$, 경상분지 2.01 ${\mu}W/m^3$로 나타났다. 지체 구조별 열생산율과 지열류량의 상관성 분석에서 우리나라의 경우 지열류량이 높은 지역에서 열생산율이 낮은 경향을 보인다. 따라서 열생산율이 지표 지열류량을 결정하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 요소가 아님을 확인할 수 있다.
