포항제철소에는 13개의 발전기가 있어 제철소에서 필요로 하는 전력을 자체적으로 945MWH 규모로 공급하고 있다. 발전소에서 사용되는 에너지원은 제철공정에서 부수적으로 발생하는 부생가스(BFG, COG, LDG, CFG)와 외부에서 구매하는 중유, LNG가 있다. 안정적인 전력공급과 비용절감을 위한 발전기 가동계획을 수립하기 위해서는, 조업상황에 따라 변동되는 전력소요량 및 부생가스 발생량을 예측하여 발전기별로 사용될 연료량을 배분하고, 발전기별 효율을 반영한 발전량을 결정하게 된다 이러만 발전기 가동계획 수립을 수작업에 의존하고 있어, 수시로 변화하는 상황에 신속한 대처가 곤란하고, 모든 요소를 고려하기가 어려워 에너지비용을 절감할 수 있는 기회손실의 우려가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 LP 및 NLP를 적응하여 발전기별 연료배분 및 발전량을 결정하는 과정을 자동적으로 수행하는 발전기 가동계획수립 Model을 개발하였다. Data 입·출력용으로 Excel, LP Package는 What's Best, Programming Language는 VBA(Visual Basic for Application)를 활용하였다.

The purpose of this study is an economic analysis of power plant utilities by comparing electricity generating cost including environmental costs. Considering the enormous role of electricity in the national economy, it is very important to study the effect of environmental regulation on the electricity sector. Because power utilities need for large investment during construction, operation and maintenance, and also require much construction lead time. Economic analysis is the important process in the electric system expansion planning. This paper compares the costs of electricity generation including environmental costs between a coal-fired power plant and an LNG combined cycle power plants. With the simulation, this study surveys the sensitivity of fuel prices, interest rate and carbon tax. In each case, this sensitivity can help to decide which utility is economically better in environmental regulation circumstance.

최근 여러 선진국 등에서 도시환경 보존을 위하여 천연가스 차량에 대한 관심이 고조되어 대부분 천연가스와 기존연료 검용차량을 개발하여 계속 시험 중에 있으며, 천연가스 전용 차량으로서는 미국의 포드사가 1984년에 AFV (alternative fuel vehicle)를 개발하였고 일본의 스즈끼 공업이 1988년 LNG(liquified natural gas) 전용 차량을 개발하여 실용화를 추진하고 있다. 천연가스연 료는 청정에너지라는 장점에 저렴한 가격, 풍부한 매장량, 기존 가솔린이나 디젤엔진 보다 4배 정도 긴 엔진 수명연장, 충돌시 푹발위험에 대한 안전성 등의 장점에도 불구하고 연료통의 큰 부피로 인한 단거리 운행 가능과 충분한 가스충진소 설치 문제 등의 단점이 있으나 최근 기술의 발전속도로 볼 때 이러한 문제점은 조만간에 해결될 것이며 자동차용으로 천연가스의 이용은 세계적으로 확실될 것이라 판단된다. 이러한 세계적인 추세에 따라 국내에서도 냉난방용으로 전기모터 대신 천연가스 엔진구동을 위해 개발에 착수하였으며 단계적으로 자동차용 천연가스 엔진개발을 계획하고 있다.

A new approach using fuzzy dynamic programming is proposed for the flexible long-term generation mix under uncertain circumstances. A characteristic feature of the presented approach is that not only fuzziness in fuel and construction cost. load growth and reliability but also many constraints of generation mix can easily be taken into account by using fuzzy dynamic programming. The method can accommodate arbitrary shape of membership function as well as the operation of pump-generator. And so more realistic solution can be obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by the best generation mix problem of KEPCO-system which contains nuclear, coal, LNG, oil and pump-generator hydro plant in multi-years.

Electric motor with reduction gear systems are being adopted recently as main propulsion on the special-purposed ships. These specialized ships or offshore vessels require higher power rating generators for propulsion and accommodation power supply. This study investigated the cause of exciter components failure in the view of excessive vibration, force or abnormal ship motion in service. Countermeasures are proposed to address the exciter component failure. A 1.4 MW class dual-fuel engine generator using rigid foundation for a LNG carrier was used as research model.

Test Facility for hot firing test of small size liquid rocket engine has been developed to research the cooing characteristics of kerosene for cylinder part especially. Propellants for the tests are kerosene and liquid oxygen as fuel and oxidizer respectively and they are fed by gaseous nitrogen. The engine components used hot firing test except for cylinder are cooled by tap-water. Valves for supply of propellants and coolants are controlled by pneumatically. System control and data recording are conducted automatically.

The stability of the propulsion system is crucial for the autonomous vessel. Multiple power generation and propulsion systems should be provided for the stability of the propulsion system. High power generation capacity is calculated for stability, resulting in economical decline due to low load operation. To solve this problem, we need to optimize the power system. In this paper, an OPMS for electric propulsion ship is constructed. The OPMS consists of a hybrid power generation system, an energy storage system, and a control load system. The power generation system consists of a dual fuel engine, the energy storage system is a battery, and the control load system consists of the propulsion load, continuous load, intermittent load, cargo part load and deck machine load. The power system was constructed by modeling the characteristics of each system. For the experiment, a scenario based on ship operation was prepared and the stability and economical efficiency were compared with existing electric propulsion ships.

To eliminate the onset of combustion instabilities and develop effective approaches for control, flame structure is very important. In this study, we conducted experiments under various operating conditions with a model gas turbine combustor to examine the relation of combustion instability and flame structure by OH chemiluminescence and laser diagnostics of He-Ne laser absorbtion system. The swirling LNG($CH_4$)/air flame was investigated with overall equivalence ratio of 1.2 and dump plane fuel-air mixture velocity 25 ~ 70 m/s. We founded that the combustion instability phenomenon occurs at lower mixing velocity and higher mixing velocity conditions. We also concluded that fluid dynamical vortex frequency has major effects on the combustion instability characteristics at lower mixing velocity condition.

Kyoto Protocol against global warming came into effect in Feb 2005. Korea is expected to be put under obligation to decrease the $CO_2$ emission from 2013. Because the electric power plants burning fossil fuel occupy 25% of national $CO_2$ emission, calculating the amount is very important. This paper presents ; - a brief procedure of performance test of D thermal power plant - calculation and comparison of $CO_2$ emission of D power plant w.r.t the generator output for LNG and residual oil using the a, b, c coefficients obtained by the performance test - and a brief description on currently used chemical method for calculation of $CO_2$ emission

This paper analyses the Night Thermal-storage Power Service(NTPS) from the perspective of sustainability. It investigates the economic, environmental and social aspects of NTPS, thereby reveals that NTPS triggers the inefficient use of fuel, the increase of carbon dioxide emission and the increase of cross subsidy between consumers. This paper also analyses NTPS from the perspective of energy security. It investigates how NTPS makes LNG demand volatile in winter, thus threatens our energy security. According to the analysis, NTPS directly violates two basic principles of national energy policy; Sustainability and Energy Security. To solve these problems, not only the harmonized adjustment of Heating Oil Tax and Electric Power Rates is needed to curb the rapier increase of NTPS, but also another separate policy is necessary for converting the electric heating system based on NTPS into the one based on Heating Oil.
