In this paper, studied condenser operating management which is affecting power plants efficiency considering the cost of poor quality. Sea water temperature and condenser pressure have clear correlation in S power plants. As the sea water temperature changes, condenser pressure changed -1.7~+20 mmHg from design condenser pressure(38.1 mmHg). Use the heat rate correction curve from manufactory company, realized that efficiency and cost of poor quality changed 0.0201%, 12,830 won/h at Unit #1,2 but 0.0155%, 9,832 won/h when condenser pressure 1 mmHg rise. Also, checked that it is changed depend on seasonal corresponding operation, plant ageing and the point of preventive maintenance like overhaul maintenance. This study said if we considered complying with management range and planning overhaul maintenance, then it could help reducing operating maintenance losses minimum 2.5 billion won per 1 year (case : Unit #1, forty days maintenance).

영광 1호기의 일차계통인 원자로 냉각재 평균온도( $T_{avg}$)를 적정값으로 미세조정하여 운전할 때, 2차계통 주요 운전변수인 주증기압력이 상승하고 터빈출력이 상승함을 발견하여 이에 대한 터빈사이클 열성능 변화를 발전소 전체 열평형 계산에 의해 정량적으로 파악하고, 그 원인을 열역학 2법칙에서의 엔트로피개념을 이용한 유용에너지의 최대값인 엑서지이론을 적용하여 분석하고자하였다. 분석 결과 열평형 계산에서는 전체 열량의 대부분인 63.2%가 복수기에서 손실되는 것으로 나타나는 반면, 열역학 제2법칙의 엑서지를 이용한 분석에서는 비가역손실이 주로 터빈(전체 엑서지의 12.7%)에서 일어나고 그 다음이 복수기(5.7%), 급수가열기(2.1%) 그리고 1,2단 재열기 (1.0%)의 순으로 전체 사이클에서 일어나며, 주증기 압력이 상승할 때 터빈 출력이 상승하는 주원인은 주증기의 유용성(엑서지)이 크게 증가하는 것에 비해 터빈사이클에서의 비가역손실은 적게 증가하기 때문으로 나타났다.다.

During this study, number of fan by ambient air temperature that condenser pressure satisfies steam turbine exhaust pressure condition with intervals of $3^{\circ}C$ within the 150 MW thermal power plant site temperature range of $-17.1^{\circ}C$ to $36.7^{\circ}C$ was reviewed. An air cooled condenser changes its operating pressure influenced by cooling air circulation amount by atmospheric temperature and number of fan. For stable power plant operation, these were confirmed to maximize a quantity of air-cooled condenser fans at above or equal from design ambient temperature and to reduce an amount of circulating air to an air cooled condenser by depending on a quantity of fan considering exhaust pressure operation condition of a steam turbine at below design ambient temperature.

Because there are no isolation valves in condensate system of nuclear power plants, circulating water pump was shutdown for the condenser repair. When circulating water pump was shutdown, power plant output decreased about 45%. These output decreasing can minimize by establishing isolation valves. In this paper, evaluated effect to flow conditions change of condensate system, structural integrity of system, condenser pressure of in case of establish isolation valves to condensate system. Results of the evaluation, the flow rate due to the installation of the isolation valve decreased 0.3% when the valve was fully opened and 4.5% when fully closed. In addition, it was found that the vacuum degree of the condenser decreased with decreasing flow rate, but the integrity of the system was maintained.

The present study performs a test of a change in a condenser pressure on two kinds of power plants having different condenser pressure-heat rate correction curve and evaluates the results. According to a result of the test, it is confirmed that a sub-critical drum type steam power plant is optimally operated at the condenser pressure of 38㎜Hga that is designed, even during winters. On the other hand, it can be found that a supercritical once through type steam power plant operated at the condenser pressure that is reduced below a design value, that is, up to 28㎜Hga during winters is advantageous in view of turbine efficiency and is operated without a problem in facility operation such as moisture erosion, turbine vibration, etc. Also, the present study compares and reviews a condenser pressure-heat rate correction curve proposed by a manufacturer and a test value. The present study proposes optimum condenser operation pressure capable of concurrently satisfying the stable operation and efficiency improvement of the power plant facility that is operating, making it possible to support an efficient operation of a power plant.

A methodology to determine the most conservative initial condition based on random sampling of operation parameters is established, in which a best-estimate computer code is adopted to minimize the conservatism in code models. To validate the applicability of the suggested method, safety evaluation for a transient of loss of condenser vacuum in a pressurized water reactor is performed. One-hundred different initial conditions are generated by MOSAIQUE program automatically and the peak pressure for the most conservative case is determined from transient analyses. The safety margin obtained with the new approach is almost equivalent to the values determined with the existing methodologies. It is found that the time and human resources required for the safety evaluation could be reduced with the suggested approach.

In this study, the cycle performance of an air conditioner with multi-indoor units is analyzed and simulated. The cycle performance could be predicted through the integration of mathematical formulation for these devices. The condenser pressure is obtained by an iteration process to match the mass flow rates of the compressor and the expansion valve and the evaporator pressure is determined by an iteration process, in which the suction super heat is tracing the targeted super heat. The required software was developed by system programming. the software algorithm is extended to predict the cycle performance of an air conditioner system with multi-indoor units, and then the numerical results are compared with experimental results. This mathematical model is validated from the result of experiments conducted on 8.3kW air conditioner. The errors in capacity, electronic power, and COP are found to be within 10% in general.

원자로 건물 내부에는 원자로의 안전운전을 위한 다수의 계통, 구조물 및 기기들이 위치하고 있다. 원자로의 안전과 직결되는 안전계통 변수 (수위, 압력) 들은 경우에 따라서는 현장확인이 요구된다. 원자로 가동 중에 운전원에 의한 안전계통변수의 현장확인이 용이하도록 원자로 건물 내부의 출입구 (2 중문) 부근에 수위계, 압력계 등의 현장계기가 위치하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일본의 (주) 동경전력이 공개한 후쿠시마 제 1 원자력발전소 1 호기 원자로건물의 IC (비상용 복수기, isolation condenser) 조사영상에 나타나는 현장계기의 영상인식에 대해 기술한다. 조사 영상의 분석에 의하면 현장계기들은 기계식의 아날로그 타입이다. 아날로그 타입의 기하구조를 이용하여 계기판 눈금을 인식하고, 계기판 바늘의 기울기 계산을 통해 계기판을 영상 판독할 수 있었다. 이러한 계기판의 영상판독은 후쿠시마 원전 사고와 같이, 고방사선 피폭 우려로 인해 사람대신에 로봇이 원자로 건물내부에 진입하여 주요 계통, 구조물 및 기기의 현장계기를 판독한다고 가정하면, 유용한 기능이다.

It is required that a developed control system should be verified using simulator in terms of functionality and reliability prior to application to a power plant that is a very critical facility in the industry. In this paper, the control model for turbine bypass system was developed for power plant simulator. In order to develop the control model for turbine bypass system, the tool that can be used to implement turbine bypass control logic was developed based on the turbine bypass control system manual. The developed tool was merged into the simulator development environment. The functionality of the developed tool was verified via the simulation based on the each function block specification. The HP turbine bypass pressure control logic was implemented using the developed tool and was integrated with process models and other control models such as boiler control model, turbine control model and boiler feed water pump turbine control model for 500 MW korean standard type fossil power plant. Finally, the validity of the developed control model was shown via simulation result under the integrated simulation environment.
