This paper presents a reliability assessment model for the power semiconductors used in wind turbine power converters. In this study, the thermal loadings at different timescales of wind speed are considered. First, in order to address the influence of long-term thermal cycling caused by variations in wind speed, the power converter operation state is partitioned into different phases in terms of average wind speed and wind turbulence. Therefore, the contributions can be considered separately. Then, in regards to the reliability assessment caused by short-term thermal cycling, the wind profile is converted to a wind speed distribution, and the contribution of different wind speeds to the final failure rate is accumulated. Finally, the reliability of an actual power converter semiconductor for a 2.5 MW wind turbine is assessed, and the failure rates induced by different timescale thermal behavior patterns are compared. The effects of various parameters such as cut-in, rated, cut-out wind speed on the failure rate of power devices are also analyzed based on the proposed model.

The suspension insulators are subjected to harsh environments in service for a long time. The long-term reliability of tile insulators is required for both mechanical and electrical performances. This study describes some basic performance tests and accelerated aging test by cool-heat cycling methods and thermal mechanical performance test methods on alumina porcelain insulators (new and aged) used for transmission line in KOREA. There was no fail in electrical and mechanical performance tests such as a high voltage strength, a flashover voltage, and an impact strength in all samples. But in the case of accelerating aging tests which have above 9$0^{\circ}C$ temperature gradient, fracture phenomena was happened by a thermal shock in tile aged sample(sample A) with low alumina porcelain body. It was indicated that sample A was more severely aged than other samples. According to results of HRB test and microstructural analysis, it was reasoned that insulator bodies with the matrix reinforced with alumina crystalline phase have advantages over the suppression of crack advance. And cool-heat aging and mechanical thermal ageing tests shows that a temperature gradient is more effective to accelerating than a cycling number.

Recently, ultrasound is becoming a universal way of treatment when it comes to clinic. The thermal effect of therapeutic ultrasound can raise the temperature of tissue without damage and thus increases the flow rate, and this leads to the oxygen transportation velocity of peripheral tissue and ultimately facilitates the metabolism. The purpose of this research is analyzing relations between PTT and transmission time of therapeutic ultrasound, and in this study the PTT variation due to respective transmission time of ultrasound upon 17 normal persons was measured and as a result, it was observed that PTT increases as transmission time of therapeutic ultrasound

Dynamic thermal rating (DTR) system is an effective method to improve the capacity of existing overhead line. According to the methodology based on CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric systems) standard, ampacity values under steady-state heating balance can be calculated from ambient environmental conditions. In this study, simulation analysis of relations between parameters and ampacity is described as functional dependence, which can provide an effective basis for the design and research of overhead transmission lines. The simulation of ampacity variation in different rating scales is described in this paper, which are determined from real-time meteorological data and conductor state parameters. To test the performance of DTR in different rating scales, capacity improvement and risk level are presented. And the experimental results show that the capacity of transmission line by using DTR has significant improvement, with low probability of risk. The information of this study has an important reference value to the operation management of power grid.

To investigate invar alloy as a core material for increased capacity over-head transmission line which have high strength and low thermal expansion coefficient, hardness and thermal expansion coefficient of Fe-Ni-Co alloy have been studied. It is necessary that invar alloy have low thermal expansion coefficient and high strength for increased capacity over-head transmission line. In this paper. we tried to find out the effect of Ni and Co which has ferromagnetic properties and high saturation magnetization. It was found that Ni decrease thermal expansion coefficient and hardness, Co decrease thermal expansion coefficient but increase hardness in Fe-xNi-Co system. In Fe-(29-x)Ni-Co system, the material has no low thermal expansion properties substituting Co instead of Ni in concentration range of $1\sim7$%Co.

Generally, Invar alloy shows very low thermal expansion characteristics, lower than $2{\times}10^{-6}$/K approximately. To apply Fe-Ni-Co-C Invar alloy as a core material for large ampacity transmission line we studied the effects of magnetic properties on coefficient of thermal expansion. The coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) suddenly decreases with addition of a little carbon(0.08%), increases with the increasing carbon and has a constant value at the composition over than 1.0%C. The trend of Curie temperature change with carbon is similar with that of CTE. Therefore, the CTE has a linear relationship with Curie temperature. However, the CTE linearly decreases with the ratio of saturation magnetization and Curie temperature(${\sigma}_s/T_c$).

국내에서 주로 사용되고 있는 건물에너지 성능평가 시뮬레이션 마다 상이한 재료의 열전도율로 평가 되고 있음이 파악되었다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 정확한 건물에너지부하를 평가하기 위하여, 각 시뮬레이션에서 목조건축물의 스터드로 사용되고 있는 목재의 열전도율을 확인하고, 이에 따른 벽체의 열관류율과 부재 접합부위에서의 선형열교 차이를 연구하였다. 각 시뮬레이션은 동일 수종에 대해 상이한 열전도율을 채택 후, 각 시뮬레이션에서 추출한 열전도율 간의 차이가 가장 상이한 소나무의 열전도율을 스터드에 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 간 지붕, 벽체, 지면 슬래브의 열관류율 중 최대오차는 $0.023W/m^2{\cdot}K$이었으며, 지붕의 서까래 접합부, 지붕-벽체 접합부, 지면슬래브-벽체 접합부 중 최대 선형열교 오차는 $0.025W/m{\cdot}K$이었다. 또한, HEAT2 정상상태전열해석 프로그램을 활용하여 선형열교 및 벽체의 온도변화에 대한 전열해석 이미지를 분석하였다. 구조체에 온도 분포를 선으로 표시하여 단열이 부족한 곳에서는 온도선이 급격하게 변하는 것이 확인되었고, 온도선이 급격하게 변하는 부위에서는 다른 곳보다 온도가 낮으며, 다른 구조체 부분보다 더 많은 열류가 손실됨이 확인되었다.

지중 송전선은 전기저항에 의한 발열현상이 늘 있으며, 그 주변의 되메움재를 통하여 열을 방출하게 된다. 따라서, 송전관로의 설계에는 발생하는 열을 주변 지반이 효과적으로 외부에 전달하여, 열적 안정성을 확보하는 것이 매우 중요한 설계 요소가 된다. 본 연구에서는 지중 송전관로 되메움재용 순환골재의 현장 적용성을 향상시키기 위하여, 순환골재의 품질기준 및 시공기준을 제시하고, 현장 실증시험을 통하여 송전관로의 열안정성을 분석하였다. 현장 실증시험에서는 순환골재 두 종류와 현재 되메움재로 사용하고 있는 모래의 열적 거동을 비교하였다. 시험 결과, 순환골재는 시간경과와 관로에서의 이격거리에 따라 온도와 함수비 변화가 모래와 유사하게 나타났다. 따라서 순환골재는 지중 송전관로 되메움재로서 일반 모래를 대체하여 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
