This paper presents evaluating procedure for engine generator operated over 13 years which are usually installed at the island and therefore, isolated to the main distribution line. To decide continual operation of the generator, their diagnosis results should guarantee safety running. So the determination of criteria for continual usage or replacement is essential for economical and reliable maintenance. We present all the courses of evaluating the condition which includes the processes from acquiring basic data to comprehensive determination of generators. All the test was applied to serial number 3 generator in Jodo Engine Power Plant.

In this paper, the changes in performance parameters, e.g., the combustor pressure, turbine power, engine mixture ratio, temperature of gas generator, and product gas, of a liquid rocket engine employing gas generator cycle with the variations in propellant-supply pressure have been described. Engine performance is numerically calculated using the 13 major system-level variables of the rocket engine. The combustor pressure and turbine power increase with an increase in the oxidizer-supply pressure and decrease with an increase in fuel-supply pressure. The lower mixture ratio of gas generator for increased fuel mass flow rate decreases the gas generator gas temperature and deteriorates the gas material properties as the turbine working fluid. The turbine power decreases with an increase in fuel-supply pressure; this results in a decrease in the main-combustor pressure, which is directly proportional to engine thrust.

The main engine of a vehicle is used an common rail diesel engine for improving the efficiency of the whole load area. However, the generator engines is still used mechanical fuel injection valve drive cams. In addition, most of generator engines is applied a part-load operation of less than 50%. Therefore, diesel engine of vehicle set at 100% load is necessary to readjust in order to perform efficient operation because of part-load operation. In this study, the objective is to report the results of the part-load fuel consumption improvement by injection timing readjust to identify the operational characteristics of a generator engine currently operated in the facilities.

Mode analysis is very important for the development of liquid rocket engine in various applications. We developed a mode analysis program for the gas-generator cycle liquid rocket engine by proposing 13 independent equations with 13 independent variables which can be solved by Newton method. As an example we calculated the change of engine operating mode according to the control valve's loss coefficient change located in the gas-generator oxidizer supply line. And we concluded that this program can give basic idea for the mode analysis of gas-generator cycle liquid rocket engine.

Concern for new and renewable energy is growing globally. Biogas is one of the alternative fuels and consists of methane and carbon dioxide. It is difficult to achieve efficient engine operation due to a lower heating value of biogas compared to that of natural gas. In order to improve generating efficiency, finding an optimum point of ignition timing and excess air ratio is important. From this fact, generating efficiency and pollutant emissions of 2300cc gas engine generator operated by biogas as functions of ignition timings and excess air ratios were investigated in this study. As a test result, the generating efficiency of the gas engine generator using biogas was 27.34 % in the condition of the BTDC of $16^{\circ}$ and the excess air ratio of 1.4.

The emergency diesel generator(EDG) of the nuclear power plant is designed to supply the power to the nuclear reactor on Station Black Out(SBO) condition. The operation reliability of onsite emergency diesel generator should be ensured by a conditioning monitoring system designed to monitor and analysis the condition of diesel generator. For this purpose, we have developing the technologies of condition monitoring for the wolsong unit 3&4 standby diesel generator including diesel engine performance. In this paper, technologies of condition monitoring for the wolsong standby diesel generator are described about three step. First is for selection of operating parameter for monitoring. Second is for technologies of online condition monitoring, Third is for monitoring of engine performance.

Operating mode analysis of a liquid propellant rocket engine(LRE) is a crucial tool through the development of an engine. The operating mode analysis of an engine based on a collection of the acceptance tests of components shows discrepancies when compared to the test results. We propose a correction method for performance parameters to develop an engine analysis model for the gas generator cycle of an LRE. In order to simulate engine behavior, the performance parameters for the analysis model are tuned based on the test results of the 75tf engine of KSLV-II.

This paper describes the continuing effort to analysis and design on dynamic and electrical behavior of gamma-type free piston Stirling engine/generator with dual-opposed linear generator for domestic micro-CHP (Combined Heat and Power) system. The double acting Stirling engine/generator has one displacer and two power piston which are supported by flexure springs. Two power pistons oscillate with symmetric sinusoidal displacement and are connected with moving magnet type linear generators for power generation. To operate Stirling engine/generator, combustion heat of natural gas is supplied to hot-end and heat is rejected from cold-end by cooling water. The temperature difference across the displacer induces the oscillating motion, and it can be explained with mass-spring vibration system. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design process of linear generator for the double acting free-piston Stirling engine.

This paper presents results of the development of the turbo generator system with structure which is HSG(High Speed Generator) installed directly to gas-turbine engine. Turbo generator with a high speed motor-generator directly has many advantages aspects of weight, size, lubrication system and complexity of the system compared of conventional turbo generator system with a gear box. But because of direct high speed operation of the high speed generator, we have to need stable high speed motor driving algorithm for perfect engine ignition when engine start. Also we have to need the design of the Power conditioning unit(PCU) for converting high speed AC output power to conventional AC power or needed DC power.

An analysis program of specific impulse has been developed for a gas generator cycle rocket engine. The program has been verified by comparing the published performance data of the same cycle engine with RP-1 as fuel. A model for pressure drop of regenerative cooling and film cooling mass flow rate has been suggested to satisfy the necessary cooling condition with Jet-A1 as fuel. The engine mixture ratio is defined by the film cooling mass flow rate and the core mixture ratio. The optimal condition of the combustor pressure and engine mixture ratio has been found for maximum specific impulse.
