The aim of this study is to investigate the daily heating performance of ground source multi-heat pump system with vertical single U-tube type GLHXs, which were installed in a school building located in Cheonan. Daily average COP of heat pump unit on Jan. 12th, 2009 at heating mode was lower than it on Nov. 10th, 2008 and Dec. 15th, 2008, because of lower EWT of the outdoor heat exchanger and relatively smaller size of condenser and evaporator. But, the system COP on the former was higher than it on the latter because ground loop circulating pump was operated in rated speed. It is suggested that the new algorithms to control the flow rate of secondary fluid for GLHX according to load change have to be developed in order to enhance the performance of the system COP.

This paper propose seamless transfer operation between grid-connected and stand-alone mode in the three-phase inverter for microgrid. The inverter operates grid-connected mode and stand-alone mode. Grid-connected mode is the inverter connected to grid and stand-alone mode is to deliver energy to the load from inverter at grid fault. When conversion from gird-connected to stand-alone mode, the inverter changes current control to voltage control. When grid restored, the inverter system is conversion from stand-alone to grid-connected mode. In this case, load phase and grid phase are different. Therefore, synchronization is essential. Thus Seamless transfer operation stand-alone to grid-connected mode. In this paper, propose sealmless transfer operation between grid-connceted and stand-alome mode, and this method is verified through simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes the novel open-fault detection/isolation scheme of inverter switch in two-phase excited VSI. This scheme identify open-fault using voltage sensor at lower switches of each phase according to the operating mode. It has benefit of simple implementation, fast detection and robustness in the load so that stab of the system is improved. Also, at faulty mode, it minimizes faulty effect and makes possible continuous operation through the reconfiguration procedure applying four-switch operation. The validity of proposed fault detection scheme is verified by experimental results.

고온초전도 선재 중에서 YBCO 박막을 금속테이프에 증착하여 제조되는 coated conductor는 높은 자기장에서도 임계전류밀도의 감소가 크지 않아 고자장용 초전도 자석을 제조하는데 많이 활용될 것으로 기대되고 있다. coated conductor를 고자장용 초전도 자석제작에 활용하기 위해서는 긴 길이의 도체를 제조하는 것과 함께, 도체의 접합기술이 필요하다. 이는 초전도 자석을 영구전류모드로 운전하기 위해서는 도체의 접촉저항이 충분히 적어야 하기 때문이다. 그러나 박막형 coated conductor는 아직 긴 길이의 선재제조기술이 확립되어 있지 않고, 또 박막형 coated conductor의 형태와 사용되는 제조기술이 본질적으로 초전도 접합을 형성시키기에 매우 어려워서 아직 까지 초전도 접합에 대한 연구결과가 발표되지 않고 있으며, 접합 특성을 측정하는 기술도 개발되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 coated conductor의 접합특성을 측정하기 위한 기본적인 시험방법을 제안하고, 전도성 금속접합재를 이용한 접합시료를 제작하여 그 특성을 평가한 결과를 발표한다.

현대 산업사회에서 발전소는 중요한 시설물이다. 특히 원자력발전소는 지진 과 같은 천재지변시 매우 위험하기 때문에 내진설계가 필수적으로 요구되어 진다. 최근 국내 원자력발전소의 증가와 1986년 이후 만들어진 내진관련 법 규에 따라 내진설계가 보편화 되어가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전소에서 쓰 이는 입축펌프를 해석대상기종으로하여 구조해석과 내진해석을 수행하엿다. 입축펌프는 큰 질량을 가진 모터가 펌프의 윗부분에 위치하고 있어 진동문 제가 야기되는 기종이다. 펌프의 고유진동수는 기초부의 강성과 수조의 내수 위에 따라 변하며, 펌프의 축계의 진동수에 비하여 구조계의 진동수가 운전 회전수에 가깝기 때문에 구조계의 진동이 문제시된다. 해석에 있어서 펌프는 단면이 변하는 Euler Beam으로 보고 유한요소법을 사용하여 모델링하였고, 물의 저항에 의한 부가질량을 고려하였다. 내진해석은 응답스펙트럼법으로 수행하였으며 GRS는 Housner가 0.2g에 대하여 제작한 것을 OBE 조건 (0.12g)으로 scaling하여 사용하였다. 각 모드에 대한 합성방법은 SRSS 법을 적용하였다. 또한 응답스펙트럼법과 시간이력해석의 결과를 비교하였으며, 시간이력해석에서, 수치해석방법으로는 Newmark법을 적용하였다. 지진자료 는, 1940년, California에서 발생한 Elcentro 지진 자료를 이용하였다. 연구수 행과정에서 기초강성계수와 수조내 물의 수위를 주된 인자로 하여 이들의 값에 따라 변하는 고유진동수를 고찰하고, 지진입력시 예상되는 최대응답을 구하여, 비교 분석하였다.

Authors design a rotary-type small-scaled linear induction motor(LIM) and a performance test machine before manufacturing a real-scaled LIM for a railway transit. The designed LIM is a single-sided, short primary type and its primary has 4 poles. The rated power is 10(kW). In order to analyze characteristics of the LIM, authors use a mixed 2D-3D FEM analysis. 3-D FEM analysis is used for calculating a distribution of eddy-current on the semi-caped AL-sheet of the secondary reaction. Authors calculate a correction factor of conductivity and an equivalent conductivity on the secondary AL-sheet using a normalized eddy-current. The equivalent conductivity which is calculated in this way includes a transverse edge-effect of the LIM. Authors apply the equivalent conductivity on the secondary AL-sheet of 2D-FEM model and get performance characteristics of the LIM. Basic characteristics such as thrust and normal force, input current, efficiency and power factor of the LIM have been analyzed with the variation of frequency and speed. In order to apply an air-gap control system, the variation of the basic characteristics have been analyzed with the air-gap length variation of the LIM. Finally, authors introduce an operation mode using the air-gap control system and conduct a research on feasibility of the system.

Hybrid electric propulsion systems (H-EPSs) are an intermediate step for integrated full electric propulsion warships. H-EPSs are a dynamic combination of mechanical and electrical propulsion systems to achieve the required mission performances. The system modes could adapt to meet the requirement of the various operation conditions of a warship. This paper presents a configuration and operating modes of H-EPSs considering the operation conditions of a destroyer class warship. The system has three propulsion modes, namely, motoring mode, generating mode [power take off (PTO) mode], and mechanical mode. The PTO mode requires a careful fuel efficiency analysis because the fuel consumption rate of propulsion engines may be low compared with the generator's engines depending on the loading power. Therefore, the calculation of fuel consumption according to the operating modes is performed in this study. Although the economics of the PTO mode depends on system cases, it has an advantage in that it ensures the reliability of electric power in case of blackout or minimum generator operation.

In DC distribution systems, a TAB converter employing multiple transformers is one of the most widely used topologies due to its high power density, modularizability, and cost-effectiveness. However, the conventional control technique for a grid-connected mode in the TAB converter cannot maintain its reliability for an islanding mode under a blackout situation. In this paper, the islanding mode control technique is proposed to solve this issue. To verify the relative stability and dynamic characteristics of the control technique, small-signal models of both the grid connected and the islanding mode are derived. Based on the small-signal models, PI controllers are designed to provide suitable power control. The proposed control technique, the accuracy of small-signal models, and the performance of the controllers are verified by simulations and experiments with a 1-kW prototype TAB converter.

Recently, many researches have been carried out for a high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet which is advantageous in high critical current density and critical temperature. In HTS magnet, however, critical current is decreased by perpendicular magnetic field and persistent current is hard to maintain due to a low index value and high joint resistance compared with low temperature superconducting (LTS) magnet. In this paper, the HTS magnet using BSCCO wire was simulated through finite element method (FEM) and manufactured. we experimentally investigated operating characteristics of the compensating mode of the HTS magnet for current decay and made a comparison between persistent current mode and compensating mode. A feedback control unit was used to sustain current within specified ranges with defined upper and lower limits.

Cryogenic LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) which is stored in the cylindrical storage tanks of $100,000m^3$ has very complex flow phenomena and the changes of thermal properties with exterior conditions and operation modes. These complex thermofluid behaviors are affected by the storage, exterior conditions of LNG, design specifications and heat transfer characteristics of tanks. Also, those have influence on the stable storage and supply of LNG in the storage tanks. Thus this study peformed the analysis on the 2-D heat transfer of the tank with exterior conditions, on the Cool Down Process in order to cool down the LNG Storage Tank at the initial normal state, and on the Filling Process considered for incoming and rising of LNG. The analysis on the Mixing LNG Storage was studied too. At last, the visualized program on the complex thermofluidodynamic analysis was developed on the basis of the above analyses. The development of this program becomes to be used to the basic design of the commercial tanks as well as to assure technical skill of the analysis on the thermal stability of the stored LNG in the LNG Storage Tank.
