Submarine gas fields have focused because of the increasing fuel cost, the environmental regulations, and the safety & NIMBY problems. LNG-FPSO which is available for acid gas removal, recovery of the condensate & LPG and Liquefaction in topside process is one of high technology offshore structures. On the other hands, it is necessary to verify the pre-treatment efficiency by the ship motion and to apply to the design for LNG-FPSO. This study is to develop the pre-treatment technology for LNG-FPSO as taking account to the process efficiency by ship motion effects and the area optimization. Based on the simulation results, it founds that hybrid process shows the low circulate rate, the low heat duty and the small size of column dimensions compared to typical amine process. It will be verified the process efficiency in the various conditions by sea states as performing the 6-DOF motion test and CFD simulation.

As the shipbuilding and offshore plant industries grow larger and more complex, their maintenance and inspection systems become more important. Recently, maintenance and inspection systems based on augmented reality have been attracting much attention for improving worker's understanding of work and efficiency, but it is often difficult to work with because accurate matching between the augmented model and reality information is not. To solve this problem, marker based AR technology is used to attach a specific image to the model. However, the markers get damaged due to the characteristic of the shipbuilding and offshore plant industry, and the camera needs to be able to detect the entire marker clearly, and thus requires sufficient space to exist between the operator. In order to overcome the limitations of the existing AR system, in this study, a markerless AR was adopted to accurately recognize the actual model of the pipe system that occupies the most processes in the shipbuilding and offshore plant industries. The matching methodology. Through this system, it is expected that the twist phenomenon of the augmented model according to the attitude of the real worker and the limited environment can be improved.

Recently, seismic Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) methods have been developed for process plants, such as gas plants, oil refineries, and chemical plants. The framework originated from the PSA of nuclear power plants, which aims to assess the risk of reactor core damage. The original PSA method was modified to adopt the characteristics of a process plant whose purpose is continuous operation without shutdown. Therefore, a fault tree, whose top event is shut down, was constructed and transformed into a Bayesian Network (BN), a probabilistic graph model, for efficient risk-informed decision-making. In this research, the fault tree-based BN from the previous research is further developed to consider the multi-hazard of earthquake-induced fire and explosion (EQ-induced F&E). For this purpose, an event tree describing the occurrence of fire and explosion from a release is first constructed and transformed into a BN. And then, this BN is connected to the previous BN model developed for seismic PSA. A virtual plot plan of a gas plant is introduced as a basis for the construction of the specific EQ-induced F&E BN to test the proposed BN framework. The paper demonstrates the method through two examples of risk-informed decision-making. In particular, the second example verifies how the proposed method can establish a repair and retrofit strategy when a shutdown occurs in a process plant.

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.

IGCC (Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle) is a technology that generates electric power using coal gasification and gasified fuel. Carbon conversion value of IGCC is higher and the influence on the environment is lower than the pulverized coal power plant. Especially, in the nations where the weight of fossil fuel for power generation is remarkably high like in Korea, IGCC stands out as an alternative plan to cope with sudden limitation for the emissions. In this paper, system design study for the commercial IGCC system which the introduction is imminent to Korea was performed. Two cases of entrained gasification process are adapted, one is FHR(full heat recovery) type IGCC system for high efficiency and the other is Quench type IGCC system for low cost. System simulations using common codes like AspenPlus were performed for each system. In the case of Quench system, system option study and sensitivity analysis of the air extraction rate was performed. Thermal performance result for the FHR system is 42.6% (HHV, Net) and for the quench system is 40% (HHV, net) when 75% air is extracted.

In the era of energy climate, IGCC technology is one of the powerful solutions for the demands of new energy with low carbon green growth. The present study is conducted to investigate the combustion characteristics of syngas from the coal gasifier to predict problems when it is fed to the gas turbine. Through high and low combustion tests, we understood that hydrogen is the main reason of NOx emission but easily controled by injecting the dilution of nitrogen. CO emission of syngas was comparable with that of methane and pressure fluctuation of syngas was not significant. The data from this study will be used for the optimization of combustion in the Korea first IGCC plant in 2015.

In the power generation industry, various efforts are needed to cope with tightening regulation on carbon dioxide emission. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a relatively environmentally friendly power generation method using coal. Moreover, pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture is possible in the IGCC system. Therefore, much effort is being made to develop advanced IGCC systems. However, removal of $CO_2$ prior to the gas turbine may affect the system performance and operation because the fuel flow, which is supplied to the gas turbine, is reduced in comparison with normal IGCC plants. This study predicts, through a parametric analysis, system performances of both an IGCC plant using normal syngas and a plant with $CO_2$ capture. Performance characteristics are compared and influence of $CO_2$ capture is discussed. By removing $CO_2$ from the syngas, the heating value of the fuel increases, and thus the required fuel flow to the gas turbine is reduced. The resulting reduction in turbine flow lowers the compressor pressure ratio, which alleviates the compressor surge problem. The performance of the bottoming cycle is not influenced much.

모든 외재적 형식의 가뭄을 모니터링하고 예측 및 평가하기 위해서는 가뭄지수가 필수적 요소로써 이용된다. 일반적으로 가뭄지수는 단일지수(single index), 다중지수(multiple index), 복합지수(composite index)로 분류되며 대부분 강수량, 유출량, 토양 수분량 등과 같은 하나의 변수만을 사용하는 단일지수이다. 가뭄지수는 가뭄평가에 있어서 각각의 장단점이 있다. 하나의 변수를 사용하는 가뭄지수는 계산이 간편하지만 가뭄의 물리적 특성을 정확하게 반영할 수 없기 때문에 신뢰할 수 있는 가뭄평가에 충분하지 않다. CDI(Composite Drought Index)는 PDSI(Palmer Drought Index), ADI(Aggregate Drought Index), SWSI(Surface Water Supply Index)와 같은 다중지수의 개념을 착안하여 고안되었으며, 모든 가뭄 형태(농업적 수문학적 기상학적)와 관련된 강우량, 유출량, 정규식생지수(NDVI)를 변수로써 사용하였다. NDVI는 MODIS(Moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer)에서 제공하는 16일 간격의 위성자료를 이용하여 계산되었고 이와 시간 스케일을 맞추기 위해 나머지 두 변수 또한 16일 시계열을 사용하였다. CDI는 (1)각 변수들의 시계열을 행렬로 나타내고 (2)이것을 정규화하여 무차원 행렬로 변환한 후 (3)연구 지역의 최고습윤상태(most wet condition) 및 최고건조상태(most dry condition)의 차이값을 기반으로 하여 산정된다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 다른 유역에 비해 장기적이고 연속적인 자료를 확보할 수 있으며 농경지와 산림지역 비율이 높은 낙동강 유역을 대상유역으로 설정하였으며, 2001-2013년 기간의 자료를 이용하였다. 그 결과 연구 기간 중 실제 발생했던 가뭄을 반영하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 CDI는 다양한 변수의 활용으로 가뭄의 물리적 특성의 반영이 가능하며 연구 지역의 기상 조건에 직접적으로 관련된 결과를 나타낸다. 자료의 가용성에 따라 적용범위가 제한적일 수 있으나 입력값으로 사용된 변수와 시계열을 편의와 효율에 따라 유연하게 적용할 수 있다. 따라서 CDI는 농업적, 수문학적, 기상학적 가뭄의 모든 관점을 통합하는 실용적 가뭄지수로써 사용될 수 있는 가능성을 포함하고 있다.

The coal-fired power plant is operated by a combined operation method, which is operated by sliding pressure operation under low load and by fixed pressure operation under high load for improved efficiency. The combined operation is divided into two and three valve open modes. Each plant is operated by selecting the turbine control valve mode in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation, but is not really operating at the optimal sliding pressure operation according to load range, also Load range of each plant is configured differently. The internal efficiency of the high-pressure turbines is reduced due to loss of the turbine valves and the plant efficiency is reduced. To solve these problems, In this paper, the optimum load range is selected through the analysis method of thermal performance by each load in order to improve the optimum variable pressure operation load range by turbine control valve mode.
