  • In the area of environmental chemistry of power plant, flow analysis of the reactor with built-in impeller is a very important part from the perspective of the improvement of the efficiency of the entire process. As a wide range of methods are being proposed for the analysis of the flow pattern within the reactor, this study analyzed the flow within the reactor according to the baffle structure (height) installed on the internal wall of the reactor in order to improve the reaction efficiency through the inducing of the up and down stirring with the reactor. As the results of the execution of the flow analysis for each of a diverse range of cases by utilizing the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method, it was possible to confirm that the flow is markdely improved by inducing the up and down stirring among the reactants within the reactor if the baffle is elevated to the level below the water surface. In particular, as the results of the analysis of the general cases in which the baffle is elevated all 4 steps and the cases in which the baffle is elevated only 2 steps, elevating the baffle only 2 steps achieve the same effect as the elevating of the baffle by 4 steps. Therefore, it was possible to expect to improve the efficiency with out the need to increase the use of electric power substantially if the outcomes of this study is applied to the actual sites of power plants in the future.

  • The loss of offsite power test was successfully performed on YGN 4 to demonstrate that the reactor can be shutdown and the RCS can be maintained in a hot standby condition following a loss of all offsite Alternating Current (AC) power. Following the loss of main generator and all offsite AC power, the ensile emergency diesel generators were automatically started and the plant was stabilized via natural circulation. Plant conditions were maintained in hot standby for at least 30 minutes before offsite power was restored. Thus, the capability of equipment, controls and instrumentation necessary to remove decay heat from the core using only ensile emergency power was demonstrated, thereby satisfying all objectives and acceptance criteria of the test.

  • 원자력 발전소는 발전소 안전과 방사선 안전등의 이유로 해서 복잡한 건물 및 기기들로 이루어져 있다. 특히 고 방사성 물질들을 함유하고 있는 1 차계통(NSSS System) 기기들은 평상 운전시 뿐 아니라 정기보수(O/H) 기간 중에도 고 방사능 지역에 위치하여 운전원의 접근이 어려운 지역이다. 본 고에서는 이러한 접근 제약성을 극복할 수 있는 교육시스템으로서 전력연구원에서 개발한 울진 표준형원전 가상현실 교육훈련 지원시스템(KSNP VRCATS)의 일환으로 가상 공간에 구현된 가상발전소(Virtual Plant)와 각종 기기 구조물, 가상 주제어실(Virtual MCR)의 개발 내용 및 특징을 기술하였다.

  • The steam turbine used in nuclear power plant is modeled for the purpose of verification of control system rather than the operator education. The valves, reheater and generator are modeled also and integrated into the simulator. After that, the operation data and the designed data such as heat balance diagram are utilized to identify the model parameters. It was evident that model outputs of developed simulator are very close to the measured operating ones. The simulator within dynamic model was used to verify and validate the whole control system together with field instruments. And the target plant has been operating long time.

  • The thermal energy from nuclear fission is transferred to the steam generator which is a kind of a large heat exchanger. After the feedwater is injected into the steam generator and absorbs the thermal energy, it is converted into the steam. This steam goes into the turbine. The balance between the generated energy and the consumed energy is required for the nuclear power plant to be stable. For the purpose of which, the feed water, a parameter for energy transfer, should be controlled in stability. Usually, the nuclear power plants are operated in base load in the view of power system for the stability of fission system. Therefore, though there will be almost no unbalance, there can be some instability from unbalance in case of startup/shutdown or disturbance. In this case, the controllability of feedwater pump is very important for the quick recover of stability.

  • As the technology of a large scale battery have advanced, it's application to the electric power network have been active in foreign country. By providing the electric power energy stored in the electric power storage system when needed, there are many advantages that it is able to reduce the gap between the electric power demand and supply for day and night to increase capacity factor, to upgrade the electric power quality degraded from the unbalance between power demand and supply and to compensate the fluctuation of wind power plant and photovoltaic power generation. In this study, the current application of electric power storage system using battery is introduced in detail, and I have thought out it's application fields based on the foreign examples. These are demand side response, upgrade of the power quality, stabilization of fluctuation of renewable energy and distributed generation for filling elapse.
