More than 100 liquefied hydrogen tanks are expected to be introduced in Korea by 2030. Since liquefied hydrogen is stored in a vacuum insulation structure tank at -253℃, there is a possibility of a major disaster in which the tank bursts if there is a problem with insulation. Therefore, the law stipulates that PRV should be installed as the last bastion. It is important to note that in the case of liquefied hydrogen, it becomes useless if the pressure drop of the pipe is ignored and the capacity is calculated incorrectly. In CGA S-1.3, the pressure drop rate of the PRV inlet and outlet pipes is set to less than 3% and less than 10%, respectively. However, there is an interdependence between the amount of pressure drop and the flow rate of the pipe, making it impossible to calculate these values at once. Therefore, we developed a simulator that calculates the pressure loss rate of PRV system using MATLAB/Simulink and evaluated the sensitivity of the pressure drop rate to design elements.

In recent years, the companies of electric power equipment for MV, HV class trend to develop that the eco-friendly insulated(solid, eco-gas, air etc.) switchgear replace with existent SF6 gas insulated switchgear by environmental problems such as global warming and soon. This paper introduces the Solid Insulated Switchgear(SIS) which is the epoxy of eco-friendly insulation material. The characteristic of SIS to introduce in this paper is as following. 1) Eco-friendly. (SF6 gas free) 2) The structure of flexible system. (Expansion) 3) The optimum design. (The Analysis of electrical & mechanical) 4) An Interface treatment between epoxy and insert. (Molding technology) This paper described about some technology for development of SIS.

Groundwater and animal wastes are typical example which are underutilized resources than their value in agriculture. This paper was to investigate the actual patterns of utilization of water curtain for greenhouses and methane gas utilization from swine wastes in a view point of promoting more efficient use of alternative energy. The results from measurements can be summarized as follows : 1.It was estimated that the maximum heating load per l0a was around 23,2804/hr and the heating load at January showed 3.93X 1064 respectively for strawberry greenhouses with insulation by the water curtain. 2.The average heating cost of the greenhouse with water curtain system amounted to about 75,000 Won per l0a. This result suggested that the greater cultivated area provides less heating cost. 3.The operating volume was about 73 percent of the optimum size of the digester. The net available methane gas rates of the produced gas remained close to 62 percent, But the conventional and small size of the digester was maintained at a lower level of around 20 to 29 percent. 4.It appeared that major problems of biogas production system were required to maintain the temperature of the fermentation above ambient temperature and the optimum volume of digester.

This paper proposes the optimal shape of an LNG fuel tank with a lattice pressure vessel (LPV) design for a tugboat. The LPV is a Type C tank with a design philosophy of "design by analysis," which facilitates greater variability of shape compared with other traditional Type C tanks. Further, compared with conventional cylindrical fuel tanks, the LPV provides better volumetric efficiency. Considering the shape of a fuel tank room, a trapezoidal shape of the LPV is concluded as the most optimal design. This study performs two major analyses of the LPV: structural and heat transfer analyses. First, a design procedure of the LPV based on structural analyses is elaborated. The finite element method is used for the analyses. Furthermore, the results guarantee that the maximum stresses by applied loads do not exceed an allowable stress limitation. Second, the heat transfer analysis of the LPV is conducted. LNG boil-off gas generation is analyzed based on various insulation materials and the degree of acuum.

In this paper, the ZnO surge arrester performance of power distribution class has been studied under different manufacturing conditions such as housing materials(polymeric, porcelain), interface sealants and one-body molding type. In the recent years, the polymeric ZnO surge arresters have been developed and put into operations based on their excellent characteristics. For polymeric surge arresters, the inner gas volume is extremely small, especially in solid insulation polymeric arresters there are not any gas volume inside arresters in the structure due to polymeric materials are filled into the internal gas volume. The sealing integrity is related to safe operation of surge arrester, the prime failure reason of porcelain housed arresters is moisture ingress. In this paper, the sealing integrity of polymeric surge arresters is investigated with moisture multi-aging test and ingress test. The evaluation techniques are used to inspect the sealing integrity of polymeric arresters, including leakage current, surface temperature, reference voltage and dissipation factor.

It is necessary to install the arc generation facility in order to obtain the important technology for the design of breakers and switches, and for the improvement of their performance and reliability. With this facility, it is possible, to study the characteristics of Arc in air/gas/vacuum insulation environment. The facility briefly consists of capacitor bank which can charge enormous energy, an air-core reactor, experimental arc-chamber, and several measurement equipments. This facility can simulates the arc phenomena in breakers and switches by means of generating high currents. In order to study the arc phenomena in SF6 gas and vacuum and to test the quenching performance of the extinguishing chambers which are developing. we made experimental $SF_6$gas/vacuum chambers and measured several parameter's of chambers. And besides we visualized arc ignition and arc movement by means of high speed camera.

The performance of circuit interruption of $SF_6$ puffer cylinder type gas circuit breaker(GCB) has been evaluated from the results of electrical insulation strength which is depend on material property, such as $SF_6$ gas density in circuit breaker tank. In order to determine circuit breaker dimension in the safety criteria. electrical field analysis has been done by finite element method. Gas density of concerned area in the circuit breaker has been calculated. In order to predict small current break performance, Electrical field analysis result must be calculated based the results of density from cold flow dynamics. The proposed method has been carried out and evaluated for 362kV class high voltage GIS.

Microheaters with different structures were fabricated and compared to find an optimal configuration enhancing the performances of $C_2H_2$ gas sensor. Three temperature sensors were integrated on the surface of the insulation layer over the microheater, and resistance changes were observed to check the generated heat from the microheater. A low operating voltage of 1mV was applied to the temperature sensor to minimize any influence of thermal heat from the resistance type temperature sensor, whereas high voltages in the range between 10 and 20V were applied to the microheater. A microheater structure generating maximum heat at low voltage was determined. The generated heat was verified by the temperature sensors on the top of the $Si_3N_4$ and infrared camera. A long term stability and accuracy of the microheater were observed. The developed microheater was applied to enhance the performances of $C_2H_2$ gas sensor and successfully confirmed that the developed microheater greatly contributes to the improvement of sensitivity and selectivity of gas sensor.

This paper studied the streaming electrification with the spinning cylinder system, and compared and analyzed it with the conventional forced flowing system which used a pump or gas for oil flowing As results, in spinning cylinder system, characteristics of the streaming electrification to its rotational speed and oil temperature are same tendency as those of the forced flowing system and it showed the spinning cylinder system is useful to study the streaming electrification. The spinning cylinder system has a simple mechanical structure and needs smaller amount of insulation oil than the conventional forced flowing system and the ef fects of various materials on the streaming electrification could be investigated more conveniently than other methods.
