This study is aimed to construct a marine small hydro power plant using discharge water of fish farm in Jeju Haengwon-ri. The difference of design methods between marine small hydro power plant and land small hydro power plant is to consider the tides. Moreover, ground condition should be examined because gushout sea water comes out from the ground at high tide in Jeju as the ground of Jeju beach consists of basalt stone. From the field test of the turbine generator after construction of the power plant, output power and efficiency of the turbine generator shows good conformance to the required conditions.

This study was conducted to investigate the possible installation of small hydro-power plant at the discharge point of Gumi sewage treatment plant (STP) using treated wastewater. Sufficient amount of water to transfer to electric power and the selection of proper location are two essential elements for the construction of small hydro-power facility. Preliminary analysis based on site visit and existing data in Gumi STP were made. Capacity of the small hydro-power plants and exact location were determined by geomorphological condition and flow duration characteristics. Flow duration characteristics and its duration curve were identified using monthly rainfall data in Gumi STP. Relevant facts of small hydro-power system in other STP were referred to adopt to Gumi STP situation. Flowrate of treated effluents and effective head between flow chamber and the location of hydraulic turbine in Gumi STP are found to be $3.70m^3$/sec and 3.5m respectively. Electric generation rate based on this feasibility study was estimated to be 86.3kW/h. Yearly electric generation rate was expected to be 932.4MMh. Proposed small hydro-power plant construction in Gumi STP is to be reasonable.

The output of small hydro power plant was generated less than rated output under high temperature. We Installed the artificial ventilation that blow cold wind from water supply pipe tunnel to small hydro power plant. The temperature of small hydro power has been decreased. The output of small hydro power plant has been increased from 405kW to 445kW.

Renewable and unutilized energy (biogas power generation, wind power, solar, small hydro-power, sewage heat source, etc.) seems to be suitable to install for the sewage treatment facilities. There are 357 sewage treatment plants in 2007. 17 plants among these have been operating for self-supporting energy by using solar power, small hydro-power and biogas in 2008. Newly built sewage treatment plant of 96,000 $m^3$/day for a newtown is expected to get up to energy consumption of 10 GWh/yr. If solar energy, small hydro-power and biogas-equipments were applied to the new treatment plant, self-supporting energy of the new sewage treatment plant will get up to 56.1%. As a results, about 2,379ton $CO_2$/yr $CO_2$ emission reduction can be expected by using renewable energy. These efforts for self-supporting energy will lead sewage treatment plant to new energy recycle center.

A performance prediction model for Small Hydro Power(SHP) sites has been studied and developed. Twelve SHP sites were selected and the performance characteristics were analyzed by using the developed model. Also, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, plant capacity, operational rate were suggested and feasibility for small hydro power sites were estimated. It was found that the design flowrate is most important parameter to exploit SHP plant and the methodology developed in this study can be a useful tool to analyze the performance of SHP sites.

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.

본 연구는 해양소수력발전소에서의 튜블러 수차의 성능평가를 위한 현장시험 및 그 결과에 대한 내용을 포함하고 있다. 현장시험용 수차의 발전기 최소출력은 측정된 유효낙차, 출력 그리고 효율을 이용하여 검토되었다. 정격 및 최대 출력시험은 수차 설치현장의 조수간만의 차에 의한 영으로 인하여 동일한 실험조건을 확보할 수 없었기 때문에 모델시험에 의한 성능 데이터를 이용하여 환산된 값을 사용하였다. 현장시험에 의한 수차의 성능은 최소출력, 정격출력, 최대출력 운전점에서 보증출력 및 보증효율을 만족시키는 결과를 나타냄을 확인하였다.

The performance evaluation of the Samcheonpo small-hydropower plant constructed on the October 25th,2006, was carried out focused on the turbine and generator efficiency analysis by using the measurement data. The unreasonable and unrealistic efficiency results are occurred in some periods because of the data variability, uncertainty, and measurement errors and mistakes. Whereas, the big mismatch is the tidal elevation predicted in the design processes. The difference between the measured and estimated tidal elevation is obvious during the low water period. It should be considered and checked in depth on the efficiency analysis of the planned and constructing small-hydro power plants in other coastal areas.

The variation of inflow at stream and hydrologic performance for small scale hydro power(SSHP) plants due to climate change have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow caused from rainfall condition. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for SSHP plants is established. Monthly inflow data measured at Andong dam for 32 years were analyzed. The existing SSHP plant located in upstream of Andong dam was selected and analyzed hydrologic performance characteristics. The predicted results from the developed models show that the data were in good agreement with measured results of long term inflow at Andong dam and the existing SSHP plant. Inflow and ideal hydro power potential had increased greatly in recent years, however, these did not lead annual energy production increment of existing SSHP plant. As a results, it was found that the models represented in this study can be used to predict the primary design specifications and inflow of SSHP plants effectively.

Now Korea depends upon the imported resources for about 97% of total using energy. So from October, 2001 Korean government has supported renewable energy business owners by providing them with Electric Power Industry Basis Fund. Only plant-use electricity of the small hydro power plant is exactly managed, but other renewable energy plants is unprepared or not yet managed. Therefore, in this paper, we'll analyze the plant-use electricity management of the small hydro power and propose improvement plans for plant-use electricity of the photovoltaic power plant.
