As the penetration of different types of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems (ESS) increases, the importance of stability in AC microgrid is being emphasized. Especially, RES and ESS which are operated using power electronics have difference in output characteristics according to control structures. When faults like single-line-to-ground fault or islanding operation occur, this means that a fault should be interpreted in different way. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze fault characteristics in AC microgrid in case of grid-connected mode and standalone mode. In this paper, the fault analysis for AC microgrid is carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC and an overvoltage problem and the countermeasures were proposed.

The electromagnetic (light) waves are limited to penetrate the media, ie, water and sea-bottom layers, due to high energy attenuation, but acoustic (sound) waves play as the good messenger to gather the underwater target information. Therefore the acoustic methods are applied to almost of ocean equipments and technology in terms of in-water and sub-bottom surveys. Generally the sound character is controlled by its frequency. In case that the sound source is low frequency, the penetration is high and the resolution is low. On the other hand, its character is reversed at the high frequency. The common character at the both of light and sound is the energy damping according to the travel distance increase.

As a result of increasing environmental concern, the penetration of renewable power on power systems is now increasing. Wind energy can be considered as the most economical energy sources to generate electricity without depletion of fossil fuel. To devise adequate control strategies for wind farms, time domain simulation analysis needs to be performed. This paper presents a time domain simulation method for wind farms with fixed speed wind turbines (FSWT) connected to the external power systems. In this paper, an example of time simulation of the wind farm with four FSWT.

최근 세계 전력시장은 시장개방 및 통합, 환경규제 강화, 기술개발에 따라 신재생에너지 시장이 매우 빠른 속도로 성장하고 있다. 이와 발맞추어 최근 국제에너지 가격의 급등과 미국, 중국 등의 에너지안보 강화에 따라 신재생에너지는 미래 에너지원의 큰 축을 차지할 것으로 전망됨에 따라 EU 전력시장 내 전력회사들은 신재생에너지 시장을 핵심 사업영역의 하나로 추진하고 있다. 반면 국내 신재생에너지 시장은 정부 보급목표와 비교할 때 미미한 수준에 머무르고 있다. 이는 국내 신재생에너지 지원정책의 한계와 시장의 구조적인 문제점에 기인하는 것으로 분석된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 EU 신재생에너지 시장의 분석을 통해 국내 신재생에너지 시장 확대를 위한 대안과 국내 전력회사들의 역할 및 시장진입전략을 살펴보고자 한다.

World demand for natural gas has generated the need for many new land transmission pipelines to be installed in the next decade or so. Although mechanized gas metal arc welding is well developed, there are opportunities for cost savings by using alternative welding processes. Hybrid Nd:YAG laser - gas metal arc welding enables fibre optic delivery of the laser energy to a robotic welding head to be combined with the addition of extra energy and a consumable to produce good quality, deep penetration welds in a single pass. The present paper describes initial procedure development to optimize the laser and gas metal arc welding parameters for making joints in pipeline steel. Satisfactory joint quality was obtained and it is intended to develop the process to prototype field trials.

Spray impingement and fuel film formation models with cavitation have been developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code, STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process was modeled by considering the effects of surface temperature conditions and fuel film formation. The behavior of fuel droplets after impingement was divided into rebound, spread and splash using the Weber number and parameter K(equation omitted). The spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation, and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. The fuel film formation model was developed by integrating the continuity, momentum, and energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. Zero dimensional cavitation model was adopted in order to consider the cavitation phenomena and to give reasonable initial conditions for spray injection. Numerical simulations of spray tip penetration, spray impingement patterns, and the mass of film-state fuel matched well with the experimental data. The spray impingement and fuel film formation models have been applied to study spray/wall impingement in high-speed direct injection diesel engines.

Residual stresses are inherently introduced into the engineering components during manufacturing including rolling, forging, bending and welding processes. Excessive residual stresses are known to be detrimental to the proper integrity and performance of components. Neutron diffraction has become a well-established technique for the determination of residual stresses in welds. The deep penetration capability of neutrons into most metallic materials makes neutron diffraction a powerful tool for the residual stress measurements through the thickness of the weld specimen. Furthermore, the unique volume-averaged bulk characteristic of the scattering beam and mapping capability in three dimensions is suitable for the engineering purpose. In this presentation, the neutron diffraction measurements of the residual stresses will be introduced and measurement results will highlighted in thick weld plates.

To add alloying elements into a pure copper melt, the wire-feeding efficiency of cored (alloy containing) wire was evaluated using a commercial, computational fluid-dynamics program. The model design was based on an industrial-scale production line. The variables calculated included wire feed rate, melt temperature, wire diameter, melt flow rate and wire temperature. Efficiency was evaluated after a series of calculations based on the penetration depth of the alloy-wire into the molten copper bath. Of the five variables investigated, the wire feed rate and wire diameter were the most influential factors affecting the feeding efficiency of the cored-wire.

Light reflectance and arc resistance of PTFE composites were investigated. PTFE composites have been used widely as a material for circuit breaker nozzle. Arc energy is transported to the nozzle material by radiation. It is needed to add some fillers to PTFE to avoid energy penetration into the nozzle material. In this paper, some fillers that have endurance in the high temperature arc environment were added into PTFE. The light reflectance and arc resistance of PTFE composites according to the kinds and content of fillers were investigated.
