발전소 냉각수 배수로에는 유속 2 m/s 이상의 빠른 흐름의 수로가 존재하여 수력발전을 꾀할 수 있어, 하동화력의 경우 조류발전 수차인 헬리컬 수차를 이용한 수력 개발이 진행 중이다. 하동화력 배수로는 약 630 m의 암거와 약 250 m의 개수로로 이루어져 있는데, 현재 상업용 발전설비 개발을 위해 시험용 수차발전 설비를 개수로로 이어지는 암거 출구부에 설치하여 성능 시험을 추진하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 발전 설비의 설치로 인한 수위 증가가 냉각수 순환 계통에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 배수로 구간의 수위변화 또는 압력변화를 수치해석을 통해 분석하였다. 배수로 암거 출구부에 가로 3.6 m ${\times}$ 세로 1.5 m 헬리컬 수차 1 set를 설치하는 경우 저조시에는 seal well 후단(하류측)의 수위가 seal well의 위어 정부표고를 넘지 않아 수차구조물에 의한 압력변화가 상류로 미치는 영향이 없었다. 그러나 고조시에는 seal well 전 후단이 만관 관수로 흐름이 되어 하류의 압력변화가 상류로 전파되었다. 단, 수차구조물을 설치한 경우 순환수 펌프를 처음 기동할 때 압력파의 전파로 인해 초기 약 10 분간 불안정한 압력변화가 발생하나 수차구조물 설치 전인 현상태에서 발생하는 압력변화 범위를 벗어나지는 않고 이내 안정되며, 수차구조물 설치로 인한 수위 증가분만큼의 펌프 양정고 증가로 소요 동력이 증가할 수 있으나 0.2 m 내외의 미약한 증가이므로 정상 운전에는 문제가 없을 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 수차구조물 설치 시, 저조시에는 순환수계통에 영향을 주지 않으며, 고조시에도 일부 시간 동안 미약한 수두변화만 있을 뿐 순환수 계통의 안전에는 지장을 주지 않을 것으로 확인되었다.

The cross flow turbine is economical because of its simple structure. For remote rural region, there are needs for a more simple structure and very low head cross flow turbines. However, in this kind of locations, the water from upstream always flows into the turbine with some other materials such as sand and pebble. These materials will be damage to the runner blade and shorten the turbine lifespan. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new type of cross flow turbine for the remote rural region where there is availability of abundant resources. The new design of the cross flow turbine has an inlet open duct, without guide vane and nozzle to simplify the structure. However, the turbine with inlet open duct and very low head shows relatively low efficiency. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to optimize the shape of the turbine inlet to improve the efficiency, and investigate the internal flow of a very low head cross flow turbine. There are two steps to optimize the turbine inlet shape. Firstly, by changing the turbine open angle along with changing the turbine inlet open duct bottom line (IODBL) location to investigate the internal flow. Secondly, keeping the turbine IODBL location at the maximum efficiency achieved at the first step, and changing the turbine IODBL angle to improve the performance. The result shows that there is a 7.4% of efficiency improvement by optimizing turbine IODBL location (open angle), and there is 0.3% of efficiency improvement by optimizing the turbine IODBL angle.

The cross-flow turbine is a key hydraulic power system that is widely due to low costs, high efficiency, and low maintenance. In particular, the cross-flow turbine considered as the most suitable turbine for low head situations as it is known to operate down to 5 m of water head. However, the conventional cross-flow turbine is unsuitable for ultra-low head situations with less than a 3 m water head. In this study, we propose an inverted-type cross-flow turbine to overcome the limitations of conventional cross-flow turbines under ultra-low head situations. First, we described the limitations of conventional turbines and suggested a new turbine for the ultra-low head circumstances. Second, we investigated the performance of the new turbine using CFD analysis. Results demonstrated the effects of the design parameters, such as number of blades and rotor diameter ratio, on the performance of the suggested turbine. As a result, we developed an inverted-type cross-flow turbine with up to 60% efficiency under low water head conditions.

The cross flow turbine attracts more and more attention for its relatively wide operating range and simple structure. In this study, a novel type of micro cross flow turbine is developed for application to a step in an irrigational channel. The head of the turbine is only H=4.3m and the turbine inlet channel is open ducted type, which has barely been studied. The efficiency of the turbine with inlet open duct channel is relatively low. Therefore, a guide nozzle on the turbine inlet is attached to improve the performance of the turbine. The guide nozzle shapes are investigated to find the best shape for the turbine. The guide nozzle plays an important role on directing flow at the runner entry, and it also decreases the negative torque loss by reducing the pressure difference in Region 1. There is 12.5% of efficiency improvement by attaching a well shaped guide nozzle on the turbine inlet.

Recently, the cross flow turbines attract more attention for their good performance over a large operating regime at off design point. This study employs a very low head cross flow turbine, which has open inlet duct and has barely been studied before, to investigate the performance of the cross flow turbine with air suction from the rear part of the runner. Unlike conventional cross flow turbines, a draft tube is attached to the outlet of runner to improve the turbine performance. Water level and pressure in the draft tube are monitored to investigate the influence of air suction. Torque at local blade passage of three parts of runner is examined in detail under the conditions of different air suction. Consequently, it is found that with proper air suction in the runner chamber, the water level in the draft tube gradually drops to Stage 2 of the runner and the efficiency of the turbine can be raised by 10%. Overall, the effect of air-layer on the performance of the turbine is considerable.

The cross-flow turbine is one of the most famous and widely used hydraulic power systems for a long time. The cross-flow turbine is especially popular in many countries and remote regions where off-grided because of its many benefits such as low cost, high efficiency at low head, simple structure, and easy maintenance. However, most modern turbines, including the cross-flow turbine, are unsuitable for the ultra-low head situation, known as less than 3m water head or zero head with over 0.5m/s flow velocity. In this study, we demonstrated a 20kW class inverted-type cross-flow turbine's performance. First, we reevaluated our previous studies and introduced how to design the inverted-type cross-flow turbine. Secondly, we fabricated the 20kW class inverted-type cross-flow turbine for the performance test. And then, we designed a testbed and installed the turbine system in the demonstration facility. In the end, we compare the demonstration with its previous CFD results. The comparing result shows that both CFD and real model fitted on guide vane angle at 10 degrees. At the demonstration, we achieved 42% turbine efficiency at runner speed 125 RPM.

연안으로 입사해 들어오는 파랑은 월파형 파랑제어구조물에 의해 증폭, 월파되어 구조물 배후의 유수지에 위치 에너지로 저장될 수 있으며, 수두차의 형태로 저장된 위치에너지는 초저낙차 수차 터빈을 통해 전기에너지로 변환될 수 있다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 월파형 파력발전에 있어서 주어진 입사파 조건에 대해 최대 월파 유량을 획득하는 월파형 파랑제어구조물의 최적 형상을 도출하기 위한 실험적 연구이다. 월파형 파랑제어구조물의 형상 도출을 위한 수조 실험은 삼차원 조파 수조에서 이루어졌으며, 평면 파랑 집중 형상을 가진 삼차원 구조물의 형상은 5가지의 종류로 제작되었다. 파랑제어구조물은 신과 홍(2005)에서 제안한 월파형 파랑제어구조물의 이차원 단면 형상을 토대로 수로폭 및 수렴각을 가진 삼차원 형상으로 확장한 것이다. 본 삼차원 월파실험에서는 20개의 입사파 조건과 각각의 파에 대한 $0^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$의 상대 입사각을 부여하여 계측된 월파량을 분석하였다.
