원자로 냉각재 계통의 주요 구성요소중의 하나인 증기발생기는 원자로의 정상운전 과정에서 발생되는 고온의 열에너지를 2차 측으로 전달하여 터빈을 구동하기 위한 증기를 생산하는 역할을 하게 된다. 동적하중으로부터 증기발생기를 보호하고, 정상운전시 고온 고압에 의해 발생하는 열팽창을 흡수하기 위하여 유압식 스너버를 이용하여 증기발생기를 지지한다. 본 연구에서는 증기발생기 스너버의 이동거리를 해석하기 위한 링크장치의 기하학적 계통을 모델링하여 제시하고, 스너버의 이동거리 해석에 영향을 미치는 인자를 추출하여 검토하였다. 또한 스너버의 강성값 결정 과정에서 요구되는 레버기구의 하중분담율을 해석할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 해석 결과의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 현재 건설중인 1000Mwe급 표준 가압형 경수로 발전소의 고온 성능시험과정에서 실측한 결과와 비교 검토하였다.

고온 고압의 부식 환경 하에서 사용할 수 있는 고내구성 재료 개발은 항공기와 선박의 추진체 및 발전기 등과 같이 고온부에서 작동하는 장치 설비의 수명 확보 및 안전성 보장을 위해 관련 산업계의 지속적인 연구 개발이 요구되고 있는 분야이다. 최근 세계 각국에서 발전소를 중심으로 한 새로운 고효율 에너지 생산 시스템화 계획이 구체화됨에 따라, 과거 한 종류의 연료 연소 방식으로부터 다양한 연료를 사용할 수 있는 시스템으로 전환함과 더불어 극심한 고온 산화 환경 변화에 유연하게 대응할 수 있는 소재 개발이 주요한 기술적 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 이와 같은 측면에서, 소재 '표면'의 기계적 열화를 극복하면서 생산 경쟁력을 갖춘 '새로운' 보호 코팅 기술은 가스 터빈 엔진 제조업체와 같은 장치 설비 제조 업체의 요소 기술 영역으로 자리매김 하고 있다.

고압회전기의 운전중 부분방전을 효과적으로 측정하고 진단하기위해 고정자 권선과 슬롯사이에 취부 되는 방향성 결합기형태의 부분방전센서가 일부 사용되고 있다. 기존 결합기형 센서는 마이크로스트립 등의 전송선로 타입으로, 센서 출력 단자의 효과적인 매칭을 목표로 설계되었으나, 센싱도체의 폭이 좁아 권선으로부터 효과적인 커플링이 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 고정자 권선 및 슬롯 구조의 전계분포 계산결과를 바탕으로 부분방전 신호 측정에 효과적인 형태의 센서를 설계하였다. 제작된 센서를 실제와 동일한 고정자 권선 및 슬롯 구조에서 타 센서와 비교하여 성능을 시험한 결과, 기존 마이크로스트립타입의 센서와 상용센서에 비해 좋은 감도를 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) is an essential element consisting of a super-alloy base and ceramic coating designed to achieve long operational time under a high temperature and pressure environment. However, the top coat of TBC can be delaminated at certain temperatures with long operation time. As the delamination of TBC is directly related to the blade damage, the coupling status of the TBC should be assured for reliable operation. Conventional studies of nondestructive evaluation have been made for detecting generation of thermally grown oxide (TGO) or qualitatively evaluating delamination in TBC. In this study, the ultrasonic C-scan method was developed to obtain the damage map inside TBC by estimating the delamination in a quantitative way. All specimens were isothermally degraded at $1,100^{\circ}C$ with different time, having different partial delamination area. To detect partial delamination in TBC, the C-scan was performed by a single transducer using pulse-echo method with normal incidence. Partial delamination coefficients of 1 mm to 6 mm were derived by the proportion of the surface reflection signal and flaw signal which were theoretical signals using Rogers-Van Buren and Kim's equations. Using the partial delamination coefficients, the partial delamination maps were obtained. Regardless of the partial delamination coefficient, partial delamination area was increased when degradation time was increased in TBC. In addition, a decrease in partial delamination area in each TBC specimen was observed when the partial delamination coefficient was increased. From the portion of the partial delamination maps, the criterion for delamination was derived.

To produce adequate electricity in nuclear and thermal power plants, an optimal amount of steam should be supplied to a generator connected to high- and low-pressure steam turbines. A turbine output control device, which is a special steam valve employed to supply or interrupt the steam to the turbine, is operated using a hydraulic servo actuator. In power plants, the performance of servo actuators is degraded by the air generated from the hydraulic system, or causes frequent failures owing to an increase in the wear of the seal. This is due to the seal being burnt as generated heat using the produced compressed air. Some power plants have exhausted air using a fixed orifice, and thus they encounter power loss due to mass flow exhaust. Failures are generated in hydraulic pumps, electric motors, and valves, which are frequently operated. In this study, we perform modeling and analysis of the load-sensing air-exhaust valves, which can be passed through very fine flow under normal use conditions, and exhaust mass flow air at the beginning stage as with existing fixed orifices. Then, we propose a method to prevent failures due to the compressed air, and to ensure the control accuracy of hydraulic servo actuators.

석탄가스화기술은 매장량이 풍부하여 안정적인 공급이 보장되는 석탄을 이용함과 동시에 환경오염물질 감소라는 사회적 요구조건을 충족시키면서 화학제품, 석탄-가스화, 석탄-디젤화, 연료전지, 복합발전 등 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 특히 석탄가스화복합기술(Intergrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle, IGCC)은 석탄을 고온, 고압하에서 가스화시켜 일산화탄소(CO), 수소($H_2$)가 주성분인 합성가스를 제조, 정제 후 가스터빈 및 증기터빈을 복합으로 구동하여 전기를 생산하는 친환경 차세대 발전기술로 주목을 받고 있다. 현재 IGCC 기술은 세계적으로 볼 때 상용화단계에 있고, 우리나라의 경우 한국형 IGCC 기술의 확보를 위한 연구사업이 진행중에 있다. 본 연구는 IGCC 발전플랜트의 발전효율을 결정하는 가장 중요한 부분이라 할 수 있는 가스화반응기의 모델링 기술을 개발하는 목적으로 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 석탄가스화 반응기에서 발생하는 석탄의 휘발화와 Char의 표면반응 그리고 기상에서의 가스화반응등의 현상을 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics)을 이용하여 모델링하는 방법론이 연구되었다. 해석을 위한 형상은 해석에 소요되는 시간을 줄이고, 형상이 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 줄이고자 2차원으로 구성하였다. 해석을 위한 수학적모델으로는 난류모델, 가스화반응모델, Lagrangian particle tracking, Char reaction 등을 포함하였고, 해석을 위한 Solver는 Fluent를 이용하였다. 모델링결과에 의해 예측되는 합성가스의 조성을 상용급 IGCC 가스화기의 운전결과와 비교해 본 결과 본 연구에서 설정한 모델로 예측되는 온도 및 가스농도가 실험치와 유사하게 나타남을 알 수 있었고 이를 통하여 본 연구에서 설정한 모델링방법이 적절함을 알 수 있었다.

The high-power 6.6 kV XLPE (or CV) cables at Korean electric power stations have been in operation for the last 40 years. Most of the XLPE cables starts deteriorating in 6-8 years from the operating instant of time, some cables may be breakdown at any moment even though they were installed in recent years, causing, huge socioeconomic losses. In order to prevent unexpected cable accident, the operating status of power cables should be monitored in regularly, timely bases. We have invented a device in order to systematically monitor and prevent an abrupt accidents of high-power cables in operation at power station. It has been installed at Korean Western Power Co. Ltd. at Taean, and operating normally for the last 4 years. In this paper, we introduce the functions and operating principles of the measuring device, and present the relationship between humidity and insulation status of XLPE cables for the load of electric turbine generator.

In order to reduce NOx emissions in the 20kW class microturbine under development, the low NOx characteristics, as being an application to the lean premixed combustion technology, have been investigated. The study has been conducted at the conditions of high temperature and high pressure. Theair from a compressor with the pressure of 2.5bar, 3.0bar, 3.5bar was supplied to the combustor with the temperature 560K through the air preheat-treatment. The sampling exhaust gas was measured at the immediate exit of the combustor. For the effect of temperature on NO and CO emissions, though NOx were increased, CO was decreased with increasing inlet air temperature. With increasing inlet air pressure, NOx were increased and CO was decreased also. NOx were decreased, but CO was increased with increasing inlet air mass flow rate. The test has been performed on the equivalent ratio of 0.10 to 0.16 in the lean region. NOx were increased with increasing equivalent ratio, but CO was decreased as an influence of flame temperature. CFD work with an appropriate combustion model predicated a complicated swirling flow pattern in the combustor, and also produced a numerical value of NOx and CO emissions which was to be compared with the experimental one. As the results of this study, NOx are expected to be reduced to less than 42ppm at 15% O2 when operated at the design condition of the 20kW class microturbine.

A liquid rocket engine fuel-rich gas generator has been developed for the first time in the country, which can produce combustion gas over the rate of 4 kg/s at 900 K and 58 bar. The gas is not only for driving a turbopump but also for providing heat source for propellant supply tanks. The final design of the gas generator had been fixed based on the concept and preliminary development tests, and was validated through structure and heat transfer analysis. The manufacturing involved precision machining, surface finish, and special welding technique. The final assessment on the characteristics of ignition and combustion had been carried out for two different versions of injector heads. This concluded that the present product satisfies the development requirements such as spatial temperature distribution and the development has been successful.
