Numerical prediction of fission product plateout and circulating coolant activities under normal operating conditions is crucial in the design of a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). The results are used for the maintenance and repair of the components as well as the safety analysis regarding early source terms under loss of coolant accident scenarios. In this work, a new computer code named POSCA (Plate-Out Surface and Circulating Activities) was developed based on a one-dimensional model to evaluate fission product plateout and circulating coolant activities within the primary circuit of a HTGR. The verification and validation of study for the POSCA code was done using available analytical results and two in-pile experiments (i.e., OGL-1 and VAMPYR-1). The results of the POSCA calculations show that POSCA is able to simulate plateout and circulating coolant activities in a HTGR with fast computation and reasonable accuracy.

폐플라스틱과 건조 슬러지를 원료로 제조한 RDF (Refused Plastic Fuel)를 순환유동층 보일러에서 연소 하는 새로운 개념의 기술이 개발 중이다. 연소시험을 통해 RDF의 연소특성과 배연특성을 연구하여 설계 자료를 확보하였다. 연소성은 양호하였으며 중요한 공해물질인 HCl 발생은 150ppm 미만으로 나타났다. 기존의 석탄용 순환유동층 보일러와 RDF 전용 순환유동층 보일러의 차이점을 분석하고 순환유동층 RDF 전용 보일러 공정의 개념 설계를 수행하였다.

This paper proposes a new reduction scheme of circulating current when two units of BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) are operated in parallel with conventional droop control. In case of using conventional droop, the terminal voltage of each BESS are not equal due to the unequal line impedance, which causes the circulating current. The operation performance of BESS is critically dependant on the circulating current because it increases system losses which causes the increasement of required system rating. This paper introduces a new reduction scheme of circulating current in which the terminal voltage difference of each BESS is compensated by adding feed-forward path of line voltage drop to the droop control. The feasibility of proposed scheme was first verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. After then a hardware prototype with 5kW rating was built in the lab and many experiments were carried out. The experimental results were compared with the simulation results to confirm the feasibility of proposed scheme. Two parallel operating BESS with proposed scheme shows more accurate performance to suppress the circulating current than those with the conventional droop control.

전세계의 인구 증가와 경제 발전은 지속적인 에너지 수요의 증가를 가져오고 있다. 특히, 전력부분에서는 아시아 및 아프리카, 그리고 중남미 등의 개발도상국을 중심으로 그 수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있어 주요 에너지원인 석탄의 이용도 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 그러나, 이산화탄소 및 대기오염원, 그리고 미세먼지 등의 배출 등은 석탄을 이용한 전력생산에 있어 환경친화적인 기술로의 대응방안 마련과 더불어, 고효율의 다양한 저급연료를 활용할 수 있는 발전 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이에, 기술개발 및 그 상용화 시장이 점차 증대되고 있는 초초임계 순환유동층 보일러에 대한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 초초임계 순환 유동층 보일러는 중소형의 아임계의 드럼형 구조에서 벗어나 대용량화의 기본 구조인 Once Through 형태의 증기 순환 구조를 지니고 100-300 MWe의 상업용 모듈의 복제를 통해 600 MW급이 상용화 운전 중에 있으며, 향후 설계가 완성된 800 MWe의 상업화 진행이 기대되고 있다. 초초임계 순환유동층 보일러는 2017년 이후 아임계 순환유동층 보일러 설치 용량을 추월하여 표준형 모델이 될 것으로 전망되고 있어, 본 논문에서의 이의 기술적 배경과 개발 현황 그리고 시장전망 등을 통해 기술적 이해를 도모하고자 한다.

In this study, an efficient clamp is proposed to reduce the switch voltage stress of a forward converter. The proposed clamp consists of a conventional LC snubber, a tertiary winding, and a diode. When the switch is turned OFF, the magnetizing inductor energy of the transformer is recovered directly into the flyback output, which is the tertiary winding and diode network, instead of circulating in the LC snubber. Therefore, switch voltage stress and circulating current caused by the magnetizing inductor energy are reduced. This condition improves the efficiency of the forward converter with limited switch voltage stress. A theoretical analysis and the design guidelines of the proposed converter are provided. Experimental results are also reported.

Circulating Fluidized-Bed (CFB) boilers which have been operated in Korea were manufactured by the design technology of foreign leading companies. As they are not active to transfer their technology, domestic companies don't have the enough ability to design it independently yet. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd. and Korean Institute of Energy Research are trying to develop and improve the particle re-circulating device among the components of CFB boiler. Our purpose is to control the amount of particles leaving the re-circulating system by adjusting utility air and reuse the heat of circulating particles. The results of experiments with cold model system show that a fluidization state in the particle re-circulating device is very stable when the amount of utility air is supplied to its wind box with 2.29 times of minimum fluidization velocity. Also the amount of particles entering the riser don't increase linearly when the amount of utility air is supplied over 2.5 times of minimum fluidization velocity. Now we are testing its functional run with the hotstate experiment set-up.

The green craze has hit all the world lately. The green revolution which means immense changes for sustainable development under the new environment-economy system is foretelling that we should have new angle to the environment and economy. This paper is about the development of the model and indicators for construction of ECO(Energy Circulating Organic)-Village which is the green growth option of local community. This model is composed of three concepts - SPDC (about procedural methodology of Model), Virtuous Circle (about functional relationships of three requisites), Network (about spatial relationships between communities) - and evaluation indicators. Environment, tourism, industry (Energy & Organic Agriculture) are set as the three requisites for green growth of local community. Nations of the world plunge into the green war which is silent, general, sweeping changes. We can not win this war with the existing thinking system and policy. We need revolutionary changes reconsidering of environmental value and sustainable development strategy of the region. Each of us should go through the changes and this work would be the one among those efforts.

The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has become a promising topology for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. To control a MMC system properly, the ac-side current, circulating current and submodule (SM) capacitor voltage are taken into consideration. This paper proposes a low-computation indirect model predictive control (IMPC) strategy that takes advantages of the conventional MPC and has no weighting factors. The cost function and duty cycle are introduced to minimize the tracking error of the ac-side current and to eliminate the circulating current. An optimized merge sort (OMS) algorithm is applied to keep the SM capacitor voltages balanced. The proposed IMPC strategy effectively reduces the controller complexity and computational burden. In this paper, a discrete-time mathematical model of a MMC system is developed and the duty ratio of switching state is designed. In addition, a simulation of an eleven-level MMC system based on MATLAB/Simulink and a five-level experimental setup are built to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the proposed low-computation IMPC strategy.

The conventional high frequency phase-shifted full bridge dc/dc converter has a disadvantage that a circulating current flows through transformer and switching devices during the freewheeling interval. Due to this circulating current, RMS current stress, conduction losses of transformer and switching devices are increased. To alleviate this problem, this paper provides a circulating current free type high frequency soft switching phase-shifted full bridge (FB) dc/dc converter with the modified energy recovery snubber (ERS) attached at the secondary side of transforemr.
