  • In order to analyze the static and dynamic structural characteristics of the Obermeyer gate under overflow conditions, the force characteristics and vibration characteristics of the shield plate structure are studied based on the fluid-solid coupling theory. In this paper, the effects of the flow rate, airbag pressure and overflow water level on the structural performance of shield plate of air shield dam are explored through the method of controlling variables. The results show that the maximum equivalent stress and total deformation of the shield plate decrease first and then increase with the flow velocity. In addition, they are positively correlated with the airbag pressure. What's more, we find that the maximum equivalent stress of the shield plate decreases first and then increases with the overflow water level, and the total deformation of the shield plate decreases with the overflow water level. What's more importantly, the natural frequency of the shield structure of the Obermeyer gate is concentrated at 50 Hz and 100 Hz, so there is still the possibility of resonance. Once the resonance occurs, the free edge of the shield vibrates back and forth. This work may provide a theoretical reference for the safe and stable operation of the shield of the Obermeyer gate.

  • 최근 국내에서는 기후변화로 인해 수자원의 안정적인 확보가 위협받고 있으며, 그 대안으로 기존 수공시설물을 활용한 추가 수자원 확보를 추진하고 있다. 그러나, 이를 위한 댐 시설물의 재평가 및 연계운영을 통한 용수공급능력 확보는 대부분 다목적댐 및 용수공급댐을 중심으로 검토되어 발전용댐을 대상으로 한 분석 연구는 상대적으로 미흡하다. 특히 발전용댐의 특성을 고려한 정확한 용수공급능력 산정 기법이 요구되고 있으나, 그에 앞서 수력발전에 목적을 둔 발전용댐의 저류특성을 먼저 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전용댐의 저류용량, 저류활동빈도, 용수공급기여도 등의 저류특성을 고려하여 발전용댐의 유형을 구분하는 방안과 판단 기준을 제안하고, 북한강수계 발전용댐을 대상으로 그 적용 결과를 도출하였다. 본 연구 결과는 발전용댐의 정확한 저류특성 파악과 함께, 향후 발전용댐 특성에 적합한 용수공급능력 평가 체계 및 운영방안 마련에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • 최근 기후변화 및 기상이변 등으로 인해 가용 수자원 예측의 불확실성이 점차 커져가고 있다. 홍수 및 가뭄 예방 등 물관리에 대한 사회적 관심 또한 증가하고 있으며, 2018년 시행된 물관리일원화와 더불어 국내 물관리는 큰 전환점을 맞이하고 있다. 이러한 물관리 역량 강화의 일환으로, 과거 수력발전을 중심으로 운영되었던 발전용댐을 이·치수 목적으로 활용하기 위한 다양한 검토가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 주로 다목적댐을 대상으로 개발된 댐 평가 기법들이 발전용댐에 그대로 적용되고 있어, 발전용댐의 특성을 고려할 수 있는 추가적인 평가기법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 운영모의 방법을 활용하여 이수 측면에서 발전용댐의 운영 특성을 고려한 댐별 용수공급능력 산정 방법을 새롭게 제시하였으며, 여러댐이 상하류에 걸쳐 운영되고 있는 조건에서 연계 댐군의 종합적인 용수공급능력을 평가할 수 있는 저수지 연결모의 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법은 북한강수계 발전용 댐을 대상으로 적용되었으며, 개별 댐의 용수공급능력 산정 결과와 댐군 연결모의를 통한 용수공급능력을 비교 분석하였다. 향후 발전용댐의 가뭄시 물 공급 역할은 더욱 중요해질 것으로 예상되며, 본 연구 결과는 발전용댐을 활용한 지속가능한 국내 물 관리 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effect of hydropower factors (watershed, gross head), operation ratio and unit electricity cost on the benefit-cost ratio (B/C ratio) of small hydropower using agricultural reservoirs. The equation of B/C ratio was expressed as a function of watershed area, gross head, operation ratio and unit electricity cost. The benefit increased with watershed area, gross head and unit electricity cost, while the cost increased with watershed area and gross head but decreased with operation ratio. The B/C ratio increased with watershed area, gross head, operation ratio and unit electricity cost. While the effect of gross head on the B/C ratio decreased with watershed area, the effect of operation ratio and unit electricity cost on the B/C ratio increased with watershed area. The operation ratio is an important factor to affect the B/C ratio and therefore we need to develop hydropower for the heightened dams to expect high operation ratio due to continuous water release. The unit electricity cost is also an important factor to affect the B/C ratio and the B/C ratio was always below 1 unless unit electricity cost is over 60 Won/kWh under given conditions. The reservoirs with economic feasibility for small hydropower development were three in 21 when the equation of B/C ratio was appled to the study reservoirs. The results can be used to choose the appropriate reservoir with economic feasibility for development of small hydropower.

  • Hwacheon Reservoir is one of the reservoirs, which are located on the North Han River in South Korea. Construction of this reservoir was started in 1939 and completed in 1944. At the upstream of this reservoir there are Peace Reservoir, which is located in South Korea and Imnam Reservoir, which is located in North Korea. After construction of Imnam Reservoir, inflow regularity of Hwacheon Reservoir was changed and inflow of Hwacheon Reservoir also, was decreased. Peace Reservoir is used to decrease flood and damage at downstream due to unexpected release from Imnam Reservoir. This reservoir also, has a special role to regulate inflow of Hwacheon Reservoir. Hwacheon Reservoir has an important role for hydropower generation and flood control. Capacity and maximum discharge capacity of Hwacheon Reservoir are 1018 million $m^3$ and $9500m^3/s$, respectively. This reservoir has four generators to produce power and it is one of the important reservoirs for hydropower generation in South Korea. Due to the important role of this reservoir in generating power, maximization of hydropower generation of this reservoir is important and necessary. For this purpose, HEC-ResPRM model was applied in this study. HEC-ResPRM is a useful and applicable model to operate reservoirs and it gives optimal value for release to maximize power by minimizing penalty functions. In this study, after running the model, amount of release was optimized and hydropower generation was maximized by allocating more water for hydropower release instead of spillway release. Also, the model increased release in dry period from October to June to prevent high amount of release in flood season from July to September.

  • Recently with increase consumption of electric power, the scale of the electric system becomes bigger and complex. Then, it is increasing the hardship in the operation of electric system and the continuance of stability. Especially, as the differences between demand and supply in electric power keeping low frequency oscillating attenuation from electric power have been very important in the continuance part of stability. The more control time of electricity system is getting faster with digitalization the more stability of electricity system is getting worse. As solutions of these problems, by establishing Power System Stabilizing Controller putting PSS output signal and putting damping to vibration of the rotor at generators's AVR in area where is oscillated, We are willing to contribute the electricity system by holding in generator output vibration.

  • The behavior variation of concrete dam is investigated, based on a new method for analyzing the data model of concrete dam in service process for the limitation of wavelet transform for solving concrete dam service process model. The study takes into account the time and position of behavior change during the process of concrete dam service. There is no dependence on the effect quantity for overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional identification method. The panel data model is firstly proposed for analyzing the behavior change of composite concrete dam. The change-point theory is used to identify whether the behavior of concrete dams changes during service. The phase space reconstruction technique is used to reconstruct the phase plane of the trend effect component. The time dimension method is used to solve the construction of multi-transformation model of composite panel data. An existing 76.3-m-high dam is used to investigate some key issues on the behavior change. Emphasis is placed on conversion time and location for three time periods consistent with the practical analysis report for evaluating the validity of the analysis method of the behavior variation of concrete dams presented in this paper.

  • Cooling by the flow of water through an embedded cooling pipe has become a common and effective artificial thermal control measure for massive concrete structures. However, an extreme thermal gradient induces significant thermal stress, resulting in thermal cracking. Using a mesoscopic finite-element (FE) mesh, three-phase composites of concrete namely aggregate, mortar matrix and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) are modeled. An equivalent probabilistic model is presented for failure study of concrete by assuming that the material properties conform to the Weibull distribution law. Meanwhile, the correlation coefficient introduced by the statistical method is incorporated into the Weibull distribution formula. Subsequently, a series of numerical analyses are used for investigating the influence of the correlation coefficient on tensile strength and the failure process of concrete based on the equivalent probabilistic model. Finally, as an engineering application, damage and failure behavior of concrete cracks induced by a water-cooling pipe are analyzed in-depth by the presented model. Results show that the random distribution of concrete mechanical parameters and the temperature gradient near water-cooling pipe have a significant influence on the pattern and failure progress of temperature-induced micro-cracking in concrete.

  • The alarming climate change impacts are demanding the use of renewable energy sources like never before. Hydropower is one of the most cost-effective and environmental friendly energy technology recognized in the world. Big hydropower projects come up with the requirements of huge investment costs along with environmental impacts, whereas small hydropower(SHP) are considered a best solution for the economical source of energy. SHP, basically Run-of-River (RoR) type plants can be sustainable renewable energy sources and given the nature of perennial rivers flowing from steep gradient and rugged topography, feasibility of such plants is equally high in Nepal. The objective of this study is to determine the primary potential sites for the development of RoR type SHP sites using Geo-spatial Information System(GSIS). The use of GSIS enables precise survey of large area within a short period of time. This study has focused on the determination of locations by establishing defined criterions and methodologies and hence have located multiple locations rather than selecting one best location. The approach is applicable for the rapid initial screening of potential locations and results can facilitate detail feasibility study for the technical and economic analysis of SHP in the basin.
