A gas turbine consists of an upstream compressor and a downstream turbine with a combustion chamber, and also the compressor and the turbine are generally coupled using a single shaft. Many casing bolts are used to assemble two horizontally separated casings, the gas turbine casing and the compressor casing, in both of axial and vertical directions. Because drilled holes for casing bolts in vertical direction are often too close to drilled holes for casing bolts in axial direction, one can observe cracks in the area frequently during operations of a gas turbine. In this study of the root cause analysis for the cracking initiating from the drilled holes of the casings of a gas turbine, the finite element analysis(FEA) was applied to evaluate the thermal and mechanical characteristics of the casings. By applying the field operation data recorded from combined cycle power plants for FEA, thermal and thermo-mechanical characteristics of a gas turbine are analyzed. The crack is initiated at the geometrical weak point, but it is found that the maximum stress is relieved when the same type of cracks is introduced on purpose during FEA. So, it is verified that the local fracture could be delayed by machining the same type of defects near the hole for casing flange bolts of the gas turbine, where the crack is initiated.

900 MW 복합화력발전소의 경우 소내 부하의 대부분은 회전기기이며 저역률로 운전되고 있고 역률 저하는 무효전력을 증가시켜 기기의 효율 저하 및 불필요한 소내 전력을 소비하는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방안인 무효전력을 흡수 및 제거하는 무효전력보상장치를 6.9 kV 소내 모선에 설치하여 운전함으로써 그에 대한 결과를 제시하고자 한다. 본 시스템의 적용 결과 우선 회전기기의 역률이 0.22로 개선 및 소내 부하전력량 1.4% 감소됨을 확인하였고 발전기 열효율 0.1%, 발전출력810 kW 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 다음으로 투자비 1.5억 원 대비 소내 전력손실비용 2억 원/년 감소 및 매출액 10억 원/년 증가로 경제성 있음으로 분석되었고 향후 건설 및 운영 시 비용절감이 가능함을 확인하였다.

우리나라 전력시장에서 한계비용 기반의 가격결정메커니즘에 관한 논의가 이루어질 때 마다 한계발전기의 수익 감소는 가장 큰 장애물로 인식되었다. 하지만 수익감소는 한계비용 기반의 가격결정메커니즘의 한계점이 아니라 시장개설 초기 CBP체제의 단기 운영 계획, 발전계획프로그램의 기능 부재, 성능시험의 구조적 결함이 결합된 문제이다. 다조합 복합발전기에 운전조합별 비용함수를 적용할 경우 고출력구간에서 한계비용이 평균비용을 초과할 수 있으며, 이것은 비용함수를 산정하는 방식에 따라 가격결정메커니즘 제도개선을 가로막았던 구조적인 장애물을 극복할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 수 있다. 실시간 시장, 계통운영보조서비스 시장 등 재생에너지 확대를 수용하기 위한 전력시장 개선 및 DR, ESS 등 새로운 자원들의 시장참여 확대 등 향후 전력시장의 복잡성은 더욱 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 전력시장이 복잡해질수록 합리적인 가격신호를 제공하는 것이 바로 전력시장의 가장 중요한 역할이며 한계비용 기반의 가격결정메커니즘이 바로 전력시장 선진화의 출발점이 될 것이다.

A flux determination methodology has been built which enables to develop constrained stoichiometric relationships and metabolic balances. The analysis differs from those developed for anaerobic growth conditions in that cell mass formation is a significant sink for carbon. When combined with experimental measurements, a determined system of equations results yielded tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and glycolytic fluxes. The methodology was implemented to determine the fluxes of E. coli B/r and K12, and it was found that as the growth rate in a glucose minimal medium increased, the cells became increasing glycolytic and the TCA fluxes either leveled off or declined. The pattern identified for the TCA fluxes corresponded to ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase's induction-repression pattern, thereby suggesting that the induction-repression of the enzyme could result in significant flux changes. When the minimum flux solution was contrasted to the glycolytic and TCA fluxes determined, two observations were made. First, the minimum flux could provide the cell's biosynthetic ATP requirements. Second, at a high growth rate in a glucose medium, the excess glycolytic flux exceeded that of the TCA cycle, which appeared to more closely match the biosynthetic needs.

The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) system is well known for its high efficiency compared with other coal fueled power generation system. The aim of this study is to confirm the feasibility of using bio gas in coal feeding system and syngas recirculation system. The effects of using bio gas in the gasifier on the syngas composition were investigated through simulations using the Aspen Plus process simulator. It was found that these changes had an influence on the syngas composition of the final stream and bio gas can be used in a gasifier system.

Recently over dropped frequencies of power system were recorded when power system was unbalanced between generation and demand. Therefore load following characteristic analysis of thermal and combined cycle power plant generators is necessary for low frequency condition analysis of power system. Frequency simulator supplies simulated frequency to the online generator for prescribed goal. This simulator needs to minimize effects to power system and requires stability first. This paper introduces design and manufacturing case of frequency simulator for load following characteristic analysis of generators.

This study set out to devise an optimized system to take into account life cycle cost(LCC) and ton of carbon dioxide($TCO_2$) by applying the weighted coefficient method(WCM) to "public-purpose" facility buildings according to the mandatory 5% and 11% of new renewable energy in total construction costs and anticipated energy consumption, respectively, based on the changes of the public obligation system. (1) System installation capacity is applied within the same new renewable energy facility investment according to the mandatory 5% of new renewable energy in total construction costs. Both LCC and $TCO_2$ recorded in the descending order of geothermal, solar, and photovoltaic energy. The geothermal energy systems tended to exhibit an excellent performance with the increasing installation capacity percentage. (2) Optimal systems include the geothermal energy(100%) system in the category of single systems, the solar energy(12%)+geothermal energy(88%) system in the category of 2-combined systems, and the photovoltaic energy(12%)+solar energy(12%)+geothermal energy(76%) system and the photovoltaic energy(12%)+solar energy(25%)+geothermal energy(63%) system in the category of 3-combined systems. (3) LCC was the highest in the descending order of photovoltaic, geothermal and solar energy due to the influences of each energy source's correction coefficient according to the mandatory 11% of new renewable energy in anticipated energy consumption. The greater installation capacity percentage photovoltaic energy had, the more excellent tendency was observed. $TCO_2$ recorded in the descending order of geothermal, photovoltaic and solar energy with the decreasing installation capacity of photovoltaic energy. The greater installation capacity percentage a geothermal energy system had, the more excellent tendency it demonstrated. (4) Optimal systems include the geothermal energy(100%) system in the category of single systems, the photovoltaic energy(62%)+geothermal energy(38%) system in the category of 2-combined systems, and the photovoltaic energy(50%)+solar energy(12%)+geothermal energy(38%) system and the photovoltaic energy(12%)+solar energy(12%)+geothermal energy(76%) system in the category of 3-combined systems.

The refrigeration cycle of automobile air-conditioners is simulated in an effort to provide a computational tool for optimum thermodynamic design. In the simulation, thermodynamic and heat transfer analysis was performed for the four major components : evaporator, condenser, compressor, and expansion valve. Effectiveness-NTU method was used for modeling both evaporator and condenser. The evaporator was divied into many subgrids and simultaneous cooling and dehumidifying analysis was performed for each grid to predict the performance accurately. Blance equations were used to model the compressor instead of using the compressor map. The performance of each component was checked against the measured data with CFC-12. Then, all the components were combined to yield the total system performance. Predicted cycle points were compared against the measured data with HFC-134a and the deviation was found to be less than 5% for all data. Finally, the system model was used to predict the performance of CFC-12 and HFC-134a for comparison. The results were very reasonable as compared to the trend deduced from the measured data.

The Firebrick Resistance-Heated Energy Storage (FIRES) concept developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology aims to enhance profitability of the nuclear power industry in the next decades. Studies carried out at Massachusetts Institute of Technology already provide estimates of the potential revenue from FIRES system when it is applied to industrial heat supply, the likely first application. Here, we investigate the possibility of operating a power plant (PP) with a fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor and a closed Brayton cycle. This variant offers features such as enhanced nuclear safety as well as flexibility in design of the PP but also radically changes the way of operating the PP. This exploratory study provides estimates of the revenue generated by FIRES in addition to the nominal revenue of the stand-alone fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor, which are useful for defining an initial design. The electricity price data is based on the day-ahead markets of Germany/Austria and the United States (Iowa). The proposed method derives from the equation of revenue introduced in this study and involves simple computations using MatLab to compute the estimates. Results show variable economic potential depending on the host grid but stress a high profitability in both regions.
