In this study, an ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) is investigated for a low-temperature geothermal power generation by a simulation method. A steady-state simulation model is developed to analyze cycle's performance. The model contains a turbine, a pump, an expansion valve and heat exchangers. The turbine and pump are modelled by an isentropic efficiency. Simulations were carried out for the given heat source and sink inlet temperatures, and given flow rate that is based on the typical power plant thermal-capacitance-rate ratio. HFC-245fa is considered as a working fluid of the cycle. Simulation results, at the given secondary working fluids conditions, show that even though the power can be presented by both the evaporating temperature and the turbine inlet superheat, it depends on the evaporating temperature primarily.

Modern aircraft is facing the increase of power demands and thermal challenges. In accordance with the application of more electric technology and advanced mission requirement, aircraft system requires increase of power generation and it cause increase of internal heat generation. Simultaneously, restrictions have significantly been imposed to the thermal management system. Modern aircraft must maintain low radar observability and infra-red signature. In addition, new composite aircraft skins have reduced the amount of heat that can be rejected to the environment. The combination of these characteristics has increased the challenges faced by thermal management. In order to mitigate the thermal challenges, the concept of system level thermal management should be applied and new modeling and simulation tools need to be developed. To develop and utilize system level thermal management technology, three key points are considered. Firstly, the performance changes of subsystems and components must be assessed at an integrated thermal system. It is because that each subsystem and component interacts with other subsystems or components and it can directly effects on overall system performance. Secondly, system level thermal management requirements and solutions must be evaluated early in conceptual design process as vehicle and propulsion system configuration decisions are being made. Finally, new component level thermal management technologies must focus on reducing heat generation and increasing the availability of heat sinks.

High power light emitting diode(LEDs), a strong candidate for the next generation general illumination applications are of interest. With major advantages of power saving, increased life expectancy and faster response time over traditional incandescent bulb, the LEDs are rapidly taking over many applications such as LCD backlighting, traffic light, automotive lighting, signage, etc. The increased electrical currents used to drive the LEDs have focused more attention on the thermal management because the efficiency and reliability of the solid-state lighting devices strongly depend on successful thermal management. There exist some problems that are caused by heat generation in the LED package, such as wire breakage, yellowing of epoxy resin, lifted chip caused by reflow of thermal paste chip attach and interfacial separation between LED package and silicon resin. The goal of this study is to analyze high power LED thermal properties of using pulsating heat pipe.

Economic assessment of solar thermal power generation systems was carried out by calculating the levelized electricity cost. Four different commercial (or near commercial) solar thermal power systems (parabolic trough system, power tower system with saturated steam, power tower system with molten salts, and dish-stilting system) were considered for assessment. The assessment also included sensitivity analysis covering the effects of system capacity, direct normal insolation, and the system efficiency.

일반적으로 열전발전 소자를 사용하여 에너지 하베스팅을 하는 경우, 시스템의 작동환경에 의해 주어지는 온도구배를 활용하게 된다. 따라서 열전소자의 특성상 큰 온도구배를 기대하기 어려운 작동환경에서는 원하는 출력을 얻을 수 없으며, 작동 온도가 높을 때 얻어지게 되는 최적의 발전효율을 기대하기 힘들다. 자연환경에서 얻을 수 있는 태양에너지를 활용한 신재생 에너지의 활용은 그 동안 태양광발전이나 태양열발전에 국한되어 왔다. 태양광발전은 태양광의 일정 파장대만 사용하고 빛의 산란에 의해 발전효율이 낮아지는 단점이 있으며, 태양열발전은 일반적으로 대규모 설비를 갖춰야 하는 공간상의 제약이 있다. 본 연구에서는 태양열을 집광하여 열전소자에 조사함으로서 큰 온도구배를 형성하여 상용 열전소자의 출력을 향상시킬 수 있는 간단한 소형 발전시스템을 설계 및 제작하였다. 장시간 태양열 집중을 위해 태양 추적 장치를 설치하였으며, 열전소자 하부에 고온의 태양열이 전달되어 온도 편차가 줄어드는 현상을 막기 위해 액체 순환식 냉각기를 설치하여 큰 온도구배를 유지할 수 있도록 설계한 후, 일련의 실험으로 시험하여 그 유용성과 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper is concerned with the unit commitment problem in an electric power system with both thermal and pumped-storage hydroelectric units. This is a mixed integer programming problem and the Lagrangean relaxation method is used. We show that the relaxed problem decomposes into two kinds of subproblems : a shortest-path problem for each thermal unit and a minimum cost flow problem for each pumped-storage hydroelectric unit. A method of obtaining an incumbenet solution from the solution of a relaxed problem is presented. The Lagrangean multipliers are updated using both subgradient and incremental cost. The algorithm is applied to a real Korean power generation system and its computational results are reported and compaired with other works.

This paper provides the procedure to derive model parameters from the field tests. Since the accuracy of power system analysis depends on the accuracy of models used to represent the generation units, the reliability of power system analysis could be affected by parameters used in those models. The objective of this paper is to validate and update the models. So the field test had performed for thermal units and adjusting the variables to match with the measured values derived their model parameters. And the model parameters are verified by comparing the variables between models.

콘덴서는 유도성 부하의 늦은 역률 보상으로도 사용되며, 비선형 부하에서 발생하는 고조파를 저감하기 위해 리액터에 직렬로 연결하여 사용되기도 한다. 전압, 전류의 증가와 열의 발생은 콘덴서 수명에 많은 영향을 준다. 전압이 증가할 경우 전류가 증가하고, 주파수의 증가도 전류의 증가로 이어지기 때문에 전압과 주파수의 증가는 바로 열의 증가로 콘덴서 절연에 스트레스로 작용하여 고장의 원인을 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전압의 크기와 주파수를 변화시킬 경우 콘덴서에서 발생하는 열의 분포도를 열화상 카메라로 측정하였다. 측정결과 전압과 주파수의 증가는 높은 열을 발생시켜 콘덴서의 수명을 단축시키는 요소로 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper is to build and develop the generation schedule program to provide a stable power supply and economic operation of power generation system. A practical algorithm is presented for solving the thermal unit commitment problem which is one of very important areas in economic operation of power system. This algorithm is based on priority ordering by the unit generation cost and it is shown that the operation cost of chosen sets of generators is the minimum. The proposed method is proven to be very practical, accurate and efficient in a KEPCO system.

This paper presents an economical generation planning for operating power systems with dispersed generation. As dispersed generation introduced into an electric power distribution system, the power system will be complicated and have much variable aspects. So there is need for developing new generation scheduling. In this paper, the proposed method is tested for distribution system with two battery storage resources. Optimal generation planning of 15 thermal units in 24-hours is achieved by improved genetic algorithm. Also, to show its effectiveness, the results are compared with those of not including battery storage resources.
