The Emergency Diesel Generator(EDG) is a very important piece of equipment for the safety of a Nuclear Power Plant(NPP). In this study, the operating vibration or three kinds or EDG system was measured. The target EDG systems art Yonggwang 5 unit, Ulchin 2 unit and Ulchin 3 unit. The Yonggwang 5 and Ulchin 3 unit EDG system is the same type but the foundation systems are different. One is an anchor bolt type and the other is a spring and viscous-damper type. The purpose of this measurement is for a verification of the vibration isolation effect according to the foundation system. As a result. it can he said that the spring and viscous damper system of the EDG performed well for the vibration isolation.

The excitation control system of an emergency diesel generator is classified as a kind of safety-related system. Compared with other control systems in a power plant, this system is required to be more reliable and have better performance. In this paper, the digital multi-redundant excitation system for a diesel generator was proposed. The signal processing system of the proposed system makes high speed signal processing and arithmetic in excitation control possible. The improved soft start algorithm and multiple PI parameters adaptation considering the diesel generator characteristics were implemented in the proposed system. The developed system was applied to a nuclear power plant successfully.

An Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) manufactured by a French company Wartsila SACM, is a tandem type engine, consisted of two 10 cylindered diesel engines on each side. Manual provided by the manufacturer states that engine bearing requires inspection every 15 years. However, it is difficult for an inspector to access through a manhole located in the lower compartment of engine. Furthermore, during a routine or scheduled maintenance, it is not possible to disassemble main engine bearing and crank shaft, and perform inspection. Two methodologies are suggested here to resolve the problem. One method is to lift the engine and partially perform the maintenance service, and the other method is to disassemble the engine completely and to perform maintenance service by the manufacturer. Pros and cons of two methodologies were thoroughly compared.

산업이 고도화되는 과정에서 에너지의 고효율화를 위하여 고온, 고압 등의 극한환경 하의 공정이 불가결하며, 이에 따라 초미세분진인 나노 입자가 증가되고 있다. 이에 따라 해당 나노의 입자 처리를 위하여 다양한 용도에서의 고온 필터가 산업적으로 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 디젤엔진 매연저감 후처리 장치, 소각로, 발전소 등의 미세 분진 포집 필터로서의 응용을 위해, 카본 파이버에 SiC 휘스커를 증착하는 실험을 진행하였다. 휘스커 증착 공정은 촉매없이 SiC 휘스커를 카본 파이버 위에 화학증착하였다. 휘스커 성장 시 증착 조건의 변화를 통하여 다양한 휘스커의 증착 형태 및 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 또한 높은 포집 효율 및 기체투과도를 갖추기 위해, 휘스커가 증착된 시편의 포집효율 및 기체투과도 향상을 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 해당 실험의 결과로, 증착된 필터는 70% 이상의 포집효율을 보이면서도 기체 투과도는 현재 상용화되어 있는 코디얼라이트보다 5배 이상 높았다. 또한 필터에 추가적인 SiC 침윤공정을 통하여 시편의 내산화성, 내마모성, 내열성 등의 특성이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Diesel generator of nuclear power plant has a role for supply of emergency electric power to protect reactor core system in event of loss of off-site power supply. Therefore diesel generator should be tested periodically to verify the function that can supply specified frequency and voltage at design power level within limited time. For this purpose, appropriate maintenances in case that abnormal conditions were found are required in allowed time. In this paper, results of development of engine condition diagnosis technology and study on power plant of its technology for diesel generator are described.

In an effort to reduce the onset of global warming, the International Maritime Organization Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO MEPC) proposed the reduction in ship speeds as a way of lowering the proportion of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in the Green House Gas emissions from ships. To minimize fuel costs, shipping companies have already been performing slow steaming for their own fleets. Specifically, the slow steaming approach has been adopted for most ocean-going container lines. In addition, because of the increased marine fuel cost that is required to enable increased capacity, there is an urgent need for more advanced fuel-saving technologies. Therefore, in this present study, we propose a fuel-cost reduction method that can improve the performance of diesel engines. We introduce a predetermined amount (0.025% of the amount of fuel used) of fuel additive (oil-soluble calcium-based organometallic compound). For improved experimental accuracy, as the test subjects, we utilize a large two-stroke diesel engine installed in land plants. The loads of the test engine were classified as low, medium, and high (50, 75, and 100%, respectively). We compare the engine performance parameters (power output, fuel consumption rate, p-max, and exhaust temperature) before and after the addition of fuel additives. Our experimental results, confirmed that we can realize fuel-cost savings of at least 2% by adding the fuel additive in low load conditions (50%). Likewise, the maximum combustion pressure was found to have increased. On the other hand, we observed that there was a reduction in the exhaust temperature.

This paper describes an integrity evaluation method for emergency diesel generator(EDG) and rotor part of EDG. EDG is a very important equipment in the nuclear power plant(NPP). EDG supplies electricity to the safety-related equipments for the safety shut down of NPP in an emergency situation of earthquake. The safety of the rotor part of EDG is also important during seismic impact from earthquake. The finite element modelling of the EDG including rotor part was constructed. The modal analysis of EDG was firstly performed. The first natural frequency was calculated and revealed higher than the cutoff frequency of seismic spectrum. Then the stress analysis was done to compare with the allowable stress. The safety of the rotor part was investigated by the finite element analysis of the rotor and journal bearing interaction to find film thickness and critical speed. The seismic load was applied to rotor part in a manner that the load was a weighted static load. Analysis results showed that the maximum stress was within the range of allowable stress and the film thickness is larger than the permissible minimum thickness, and the critical speed was out of the operating speed. Hence, the structural and dynamic integrity of EDG could be confirmed by the numerical analysis method used in this paper. However, dynamic analysis of a rotating rotor and supporting bearing with the seismic impact needs to be investigated in a more rigorous method since the seismic load to the rotating part complicates the behavior of rotating system.

최근 바이오디젤의 원료로 미세조류가 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 미세조류는 물, 이산화탄소와 태양광을 이용해 광합성 성장이 가능하며, 지질(오일) 성분이 풍부하여 바이오디젤의 원료로 이용할 수 있다. 미세조류는 단위 면적당 오일 생산량이 곡물류의 50-100배 이상이며, 이산화탄소를 기질로 이용하므로 온실가스 직접 저감이 가능하다. 또한 배양시 비경작지나 황무지를 사용할 수 있으므로 기존 식용작물과 경쟁하지 않으며, 하수, 해수, 폐수 등 다양한 물자원을 이용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고농도 $CO_2$에 내성을 지닌 Chlorella sp. KR-1을 대상으로 1 L 규모 기포탑 광생물반응기에서 균체 성장 및 지질(바이오오일) 합성에 대한 $CO_2$ 농도, 가스 공급속도, 질산염 농도 등 환경 및 영향 조건의 영향을 조사하였다. 가스 공급속도 0.4 L/min에서 $CO_2$ 농도를 0.03-20% 범위에서 조사하였을 때 최대 균체성장은 $CO_2$ 10%에서 관찰되었다. 균체내 지방산 함량은 $CO_2$ 농도 0.03%에서 가장 낮았고, 5-20% 범위에서는 $CO_2$ 농도 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 가스 공급속도를 0.2 L/min에서 0.8 L/min으로 증가시켰을 때 최대 균체농도는 0.6-0.8 L/min의 범위에서 관찰되었고, 생체내 최대 지방산 함량은 0.4 L/min에서 관찰되었다. Nitrate 농도 1-20 mM 범위에서 최종 균체농도는 nitrate 농도 증가에 따라 10mM까지 증가하였으나 그 이상에서는 증가하지 않았다. 반면 지방산 함량은 nitrate 농도 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 본 실험에서 얻은 최대 지방산 생산량은 1,100 mg/L이었으며, 주요 지방산은 C10:0(1.7%), C16:0(28.5%), C18:0(11%), C18:1n9c(25.9%), C18:2n6c(26.3%), C18:3n3(6.6%)이었다. 현재 100 L 규모 광생물반응기에서 석탄발전소 배가스($CO_2$ 12-15%, SOx 50ppm, NOx 100ppm)를 이용한 바이오오일 생산 실험이 진행 중이다.

The physico-chemical characteristics and nanostructure of the aerosol samples from a coal-fired power plant, a charcoal kiln and diesel vehicles were investigated with focusing on black carbon (BC). Aerosols from the coal-fired power plant were mostly comprised of mineral ash spheres which are heterogeneously mixed. The main components of the aerosols from coal-fired power plant were calcium compounds, iron oxide, alumino-silicate without BC. The typical combustion-generated BC which shows the shape of bunch of grapes with 20~50 nm particles which were detected in aerosol particles from diesel vehicles. The nanostructure of each BC particle shows the shape of concentric circles which is comprised of closely-packed graphene layers. Aerosols from charcoal kiln were likely condensed organic carbon generated from the low-temperature combustion process.
