The need for zero-energy building is increasing as a means of actively responding to climate change. Since pipe insulation is a factor that minimizes heat loss of cooling and heating facilities, it is necessary to check pipe insulation standards and prepare improvement plans of preparation for certification of zero energy buildings. In this study, domestic pipe insulation standards were checked to prepare new insulation standards based on energy performance. Through the development of a pipe insulation calculation program, the heat loss according to the insulation thickness of the piping for mechanical facilities was compared and reviewed. As a result, applying the insulation thickness of the KCS standard for the same conditions increased the heat loss by an average of 10% compared to the ASHRAE standard. For this reason, it is necessary to revise the pipe insulation thickness standard in consideration of heat loss due to thermal conductivity and pipe insulation thickness. Using the program in this paper, it is possible to design pipe insulation based on energy performance and help to determine the standard for pipe insulation thickness.

This paper describes the insulation coordination scheme of line in distribution system when the direct lightning surge strikes. The BIL that is applied to distribution system is not properly considered the performance and operation of arresters. Because of that, the high BIL is being used at partial system. This paper variously analyses the lightning overvoltage of line and equipment with earth of overhead grounding wire and installation types of arrester. From these result. authors examine the rationality of BIL.

This is study of the planning of thermal insulation to prevent heat loss in a basement, is aimed at investigating the heat loss from the basement space and basement structures. The results analyzed in these researches are as follows; To analyze the heat loss from basement structures, this study experimented on the heat flow phenomenon of a non-insulation structure and two insulation structure models. From the result, the interior surface temperature of two insulation structures(B, C, model) showed an equal temperature, but the interior surface temperature of a non-insulation structure (A model) is different from the two models, Therefore, we understand that the insulator constructed in the basement structure makes a role of preventing the heat loss from the basement. In addition, the exterior surface temperature of two insulation structure models showed an equal temperature. Specially, judging from the temperature difference of C model. we understand that the performance of insulator is low under the definite depth of underground. The thermal insulation design should be constructed under the definite depth of underground considering outdoor and building conditions.

Furthermore, we compared the breakdown characteristics of the butt gap and bended mini-model cable that comes into being in this kind of cryogenic insulation type. It is necessary to understand the winding parameter of insulation paper/L$N_2$composite insulation.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the thermal insulation of air-filled winter jackets according to the amount of air-filler using a thermal manikin. The insulation of these jackets' was compared to a down padded jacket with an identical design and size. The amounts of air-filler were 100% (26,219 cm³), 70% (18,645 cm³), 50% (13,110 cm³), and 0% (0 cm³). The results showed that a clothing insulation (Icl) of 0%, 50%, 70%, and 100% air, and 100% down jackets was 0.208, 0.243, 0.207, 0.176, and 0.315 clo, respectively. In addition, the down jacket with waisttaped had a clothing insulation of 0.369 clo. However, the highest value of clothing insulation per clothing weight was the 50% air-filled jacket in all conditions. In terms of regional power consumption of the thermal manikin, the down jacket consumed less power for the shoulder and chest than the air-filled jackets. In conclusion, in order to maximize the thermal insulation of air-filled jackets, an optimal amount of air-filler, that is, an amount which does not compromise (break) the layer of inner air between the surface of manikin and the lining of the jacket, should be explored. Further studies on lining materials, end-closed design, and changes in thermal insulation under the conditions of strong wind or heavy snow are recommended.

As the LNG demands are growing, the constructions of LNG FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Off-loading) and LNG carriers have been constantly increased, and the various design of storage tank has been tried. This paper propose that the material of inner storage tanks is made of 5~9% Ni steel plate and perlite powder insulation instead of urethane foam block. It needs essentially to obtain the proper design specifications that are the pressure of perlite, the characteristics of resilient blanket as the pressure absorber, optimum thickness of blanket and design pressure of tank wall, etc. to enable the perlite insulation system to LNG carrier, The results show that the design thickness of blanket should be between 1/4 to 1/3 of insulation width and the optimum rate becomes 30%, and the design pressure be applied below 1,500 Pa with blanket thickness.

High temperature superconductors can only be applied against an engineering specification that has to be determined for each particular application form the design requirements for economic viability and for operation margins in service. However, in order to realize the HTS transformer, it is necessary to establish the high voltage insulation technique in cryogenic temperature. Therefore, the composite insulation of double pancake coil type transformer are described and ac breakdown voltage characteristics of liquid nitrogen($LN_{2}$) under HITS pancake coil electrode made by Bi-2223/Ag are studied. Breakdown in $LN_{2}$ is dominated electrode shape and distance. And we investigated AC breakdown properties of $LN_{2}$ and complex conition of cryogenic gaseous nitrogen($CGN_{2}$) obove a $LN_{2}$ surface. Also, the surface voltage of GFRP was measured as a function of thickness and electrode distance in $LN_{2}$ and complex condition of $CGN_{2}$ above a $LN_{2}$ surface. This research presented information of electrical insulation design for double pancake coil type HTS transformer.

A common problem in many fields of cryogenic power engineering is to apply high voltage to cold parts of superconducting equipment. In many of these cases a bushing provides electrical insulation for the conductor which makes the transition from ambient temperature to the cold environment. The cryogenic high voltage bushing for the 154kV, 100MVA high temperature superconducting(HTS) transformer is described. The bushing is energized with the line-to-ground voltage between the coaxial center and outer surrounding conductors, in the axial direction there is a temperature difference from ambient to about 77 K. For the insulation design of cryogenic bushing, the arrangement of condenser cone and electrical insulation characteristics of GFRP, Air, $LN_2$ and $GN_2$ were discussed in this paper.

In this study, superconducting coil arrangements and cryostat concept design were conducted for the development of 13.2kV/630A bifilar winding type high temperature superconducting(HTS) fault current limiter(FCL) with YBCO coated conductor(CC) wire. The coil consists of several layers with unique non-inductive solenoid winding method. Six types of HTS coil arrangements were investigated for the optimal insulation design of HTS FCL. And, conceptual design of cryostat was conducted for the decrement of thermal invasion and the prevention of low voltage insulation breakdown in the LHe which is used as pressurization gas in sub-cooling condition of liquid nitrogen(LN2). As the results, it was found that the modified suspended type cryostat with horizontal coil arrangement is beneficial to the insulation design of 13.2kV level bifilar winding type HTS FCL.
