Power Plant is requested, by environmental bodies and fisherman, to correct the pollution of coastal area due to the outflow of foam from the outlet of the power plants. Foam wastewater cause a lot of environmental problems, expecially in aesthetic points of view. Therefore, It is needed to be collect from the stream into nearby ocean, and the collected foams should be treated before being discharged into nearby ocean. The most effective and feasible treatment method researched for the effective treatment of foam wastewater generated at the power plants. The result of the test is confirmed with collecting Foam wastewater by inhalation force. The treatment pilot ($3m^3/hr$) collected wastewater was operated by Biological degradation method(Aerobic/anaerobic Processes) for approximately two months. It was removed SS, COD, nutrient(T-P, T-N), etc. The System is expected successfully by Minimizing the operating costs such as electricity, repair expenses, chemicals and supplies expenses.

We fabricated large single grain YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ (Y-123) superconductors. The single grain Y-123 was grown by top seeded melt growth (TSMG) method. In a conventional box furnace with uniform temperature distribution, it was very difficult to grow large single grain Y-123 superconductors due to the size limitation in growth. To overcome the size limitation, we applied a radial thermal gradient (lower temperature at sample center and higher temperature on the sample edge) to the TSMG process. In this case, large single grain Y-123 could be easily grown. This is attributed that the liquid of the sample edge was maintained at the high temperature compared to the growth front. Using this method, we successfully fabricated a large single grain Y-123 of 6.4 cm X6.4 cm

풍력발전기와 같은 신재생에너지원은 기존 동기화력발전기의 특성과 매우 다르기 때문에, 상정고장과 같은 가혹한 상황에서는 주파수 변동에 신속히 대응하지 못하므로 주파응답성능을 저하시킬 수 밖에 없다. 특히, 풍력발전의 수용률이 높은 상황에서 상정고장이 발생한 경우, 전력계통에 안정화를 위해서 풍력발전의 수용이 더욱 제한될 가능성이 잠재되어 있다. 이를 위해, 본 논문에서는 풍력발전의 전력계통 동적 수용한계를 산정하는 절차를 구현하고, 산출된 결과로부터 풍력발전의 동적 수용한계를 증대시키기 위한 BESS의 적용방안을 모색하였다.

The SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) pursues high power density to reduce its capital cost. The fast spectrum SCWR, called a super fast reactor, can be designed with a higher power density than thermal spectrum SCWR. The mechanism of increasing the average power density of the super fast reactor is studied theoretically and numerically. Some key parameters affecting the average power density, including fuel pin outer diameter, fuel pitch, power peaking factor, and the fraction of seed assemblies, are analyzed and optimized to achieve a more compact core. Based on those sensitivity analyses, a compact super fast reactor is successfully designed with an average power density of 294.8 W/$cm^3$. The core characteristics are analyzed by using three-dimensional neutronics/thermal-hydraulics coupling method. Numerical results show that all of the design criteria and goals are satisfied.

The premature failure of a servovalve used for six months in a thermal power plant has been analyzed. The servovalve was made of stainless steel, containing 16Cr-0.44Mo, along with other elements. An overload of oil-supply pumping and an abnormal increase in the oil flux were observed during operation. A study revealed that erosion and corrosion could be the main causes of the failure. The visual examination of the servovalve did not show any appreciable damage. However, corrosion and erosion of the servovalve were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Upon examination of the servovalve, the corrosion was found to have occurred throughout the bushing and spool; however, erosion occurred at only the edge-side. In addition, the condition of the electrohydraulic control system (EHC) oil was investigated with respect to its satisfaction of the management standard.

1887년 경복궁 건천궁에서 최초로 전기점등 행사를 시행한 이후 2012년 11월 기준의 대한민국 발전설비 용량은 81,737 MW, 그리고 2012년도 최대전력 수요는 71,230 MW로 이전기록을 경신한 바 있다. 이렇게 급속하게 증가하는 전력수요를 충족하기 위하여 정부에서는 대용량 유연탄 화력과 원자력발전소를 건설하여 운영 중에 있으나 전력수요는 주중에 집중되고 주말에는 급감하여 주말의 예비률이 40% 이상을 상회하고 있어 양수발전기를 이용하여 주말수요를 창출하는 한편 감소된 주말의 전력수요에 맞추어 서울화력발전소을 포함한 고원가 발전소에 대한 주말정지를 시행하고 있다. 서울화력발전소는 전력수요지의 중심지인 수도 서울에 위치하였음에도 발전원가가 높아 2008년도 이후 매년 30회 이상의 주말정지를 시행함으로 기동정지 과정에서 많은 비용을 지출하고 있어 본 연구에서는 1969년 준공하여 열병합설비로 개조한 서울화력발전소 제5호기를 대상으로 온간기동 과정에서 보일러 강제순환펌프 입구 관수온도 상승률을 증가시켜 온도상승 공정에 소요되는 시간을 약 35% 단축하고 기동시간 종합관리 프로그램을 구성하여 운영함으로써 전체적으로 온간기동 시간을 23% 단축할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

While analyzing the specimens before and after the thermal shock test, we found that the power drop rate of the bare cell was 5.08%, while the power drop rate of the ribboned cell was 16.49%. In comparative terms, the efficiency was lower at the ribboned cell than at the bare cell. While analyzing through EL (Electroluminescence) shots and cross sections, we tried to decipher the exact cause of the power drop. Although mere color change of the cell was observed at the surface of the bare cell, no abnormality could be found inside the cell. On the surface of the ribboned cell, the short circuit of gridfinger extended from the front part of the front electrode of the ribboned cells. Therefore, cracks occurred on the surface of the cell. Cracks also appeared inside the cell. While analyzing the I-V curve, we determined an increase in the leakage current and an increase of resistances in series in the bare cell. In the ribboned cell, the resistances in parallel reduced remarkably. An increase of resistances in series could also be verified. Conclusively, we deduced that the power drop rate in the bare cell is a life span of the cell itself; aging is the cause of power drop rate in cells. In case of ribboned cell, the power drop rate was directly influenced by internal cracks and an intermetallic compound layer joining the ribbon at the front electrode.

The experiments were designated to evaluate the anti-nociceptive effect of low power laser stimulation on acupoint or non-acupoint using arthrogenic solution induced poly arthritis animal model. Evaluation of potential antinociceptive effect of low power laser on arthritis has employed measurements of the foot bending test, the development of either thermal or mechanical hyperalgesia following the arthritis induction. The analysis of thermal hyperalgesia includes Hargreaves's method. Randall-Sellitto test was utilized for evaluating mechanical hyperalgesia. In addition, the antinociceptive effect of low power laser stimulation on arthritis induced spinal Fos expression was analyzed using a computerized image analysis system. The results were summerized as follows: 1. In laser stimulation on acupoint treated animal, laser stimulation dramatically inhibited the development of pain in foot bending test as compared to those of non acupoint treated animal group and non treated animal group. 2. The threshold of thermal stimulation was significantly increased by low power laser stimulation on acupoint as compared to that of non treated control group. 3. Laser stimulation on acupoint dramatically attenuated the development of mechanical hyperalgesia as compared to that of non treated group. 4. Low power laser stimulation on acupoint significantly suppressed arthritis induced Fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord at 3 week post arthritis induction. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that low power laser stimulation on acupoint has potent anti-nociceptive effect on arthritis. Additional supporting data for an antinociceptive effect of laser stimulation was obtained using Fos immunohistochemical analysis on spinal cord section. Those data indicated that laser stimulation induced antinociception was mediated by suppression of spinal neuron activity in pain sensation.

A 3 kW grid-tied PV inverter with Gallium nitride high-electron mobility transistor (GaN HEMT) for domestic commercialization was developed using boost converter and full-bridge inverter with LCL filter topology. Recently, many GaN HEMTs are manufactured as surface mount packages because of their lower parasitic inductance characteristic than standard TO (transistor outline) packages. A surface mount packaged GaN HEMT releases heat through either top or bottom cooling method. IGOT60R070D1 is selected as a key power semiconductor because it has a top cooling method and fairly low thermal resistances from junction to ambient. Its characteristics allow the design of a 3 kW inverter without forced convection, thereby providing great advantages in terms of easy maintenance and high reliability. 1EDF5673K is selected as a gate driver because its driving current and negative voltage output characteristics are highly optimized for IGOT60R070D1. An LCL filter with passive damping resistor is applied to attenuate the switching frequency harmonics to the grid-tied operation. The designed LCL filter parameters are validated with PSIM simulation. A prototype of 3 kW PV inverter with GaN HEMT is constructed to verify the performance of the power conversion system. It achieved high power density of 614 W/L and peak power efficiency of 99% for the boost converter and inverter.
