Cover Story
The best customer satisfaction made
by‘Art of Hands’
Professor Hwang Woo-seok, who opened the door to life science through his study of embryonic stem cell, said
that it was possible because of‘chopstick culture’of Korean people. We were all surprised that up-to-date life
science could be completed only at the tip of the finger.
Maintenance of power plant is also completed by delicate and skilled hands of engineer who has reached the
level of masters.
Maintenance technology almost close to perfection, which were born at the tip of employee's finger, beyond
ethnic and language barrier, now opened three site offices in India alone. KPS's people, who give spirits to the
facilities with their delicate and skilled hands, are our hope lightening the world.

Key technologies for examining performance of Control Pac of Korean standard equipments for power generation
Electro-Hydraulic System Analyzer(EHSA)
Control Pac and control system, which drive a turbines steam valve
of Korean standard thermal power plant(500MW) and nuclear
power plant(1,000MW), control output and frequency of power
plant in operating service by adjusting the opening of a control valve
while protecting a turbine when the problem occurs by closing main
steam-intercepting valve immediately.
Since thermal and nuclear power plants(MARK Ⅱ~Ⅴ) were built,
many big and small problems with Control Pac occurred frequently
such as pressure drop, leak of control oil, hunting, low
reproducibility in unstable opening and closing of steam valve
interrupting stable supply of electric power.
Moreover, a governor system, unlike other equipments, is
composed of high-pressure hydraulic system, and therefore, control
oil must keep the cleanliness level above NAS grade 7. Thus there
are many restrictions in maintenance, which should be carried out
with pollutants intercepted.
To solve these problems, KPS Technology Rresearch &
Development Institute developed‘Electronic-Hydraulic System
Analyzer(EHSA)’in April, 2002, for the first time in the county and
performed the efficiency test on Control Pac during planned outage
maintenances of Samcheonpo TPP unit 1~4, Yeonggwang NPP
unit 3~4 and Weolseong NPP unit 2~4.
What is EHSA technology?
It is a technology developed to examine the problems through
EHSA simulation test regarding TBN Steam Valve Control Pac(MSV,
CV, IV, ISV) of Korean standard thermal and nuclear power plants'
DEHC(Digital Electro-Hydraulic Control) system and check the
reliability of facilities with acquired data.
Organization of DEHC system
DEHC System Control Pac of Korean standard thermal power
plant(500MW) and nuclear power plant(1,000MW) is composed of
steam valve, spring housing, actuator, servo valve, shut off valve,
fast acting solenoid valve, disk dump valve, LVDT(R, S, T), HPU
and controller.
EHSA's scope of application
It is used to examine performance of turbine valve operator in
Control Pac of Korean standard thermal and nuclear power plant and
other industrial facilities. By testing with the same oil pressure and
control signal as those in the field, you can check the reliability
according to operation of turbine valve hydraulic operator. You can
alaso examine whether there are internal problems with facilities
through monitoring, saving, output and analysis of various signals.
Result from the examination of performance using EHSA
You can operate a steam valve operator on the computer screen
connected to the controller and test the following items by
equipment.
① Steam Valve
- On the controller screen, confirm input current value of servo

valve vs the opening rate of a valve
- Confirm opening / closing time on the controller screen
- Confirm emergency closing time by filtering in Fast Acting
Solenoid Valve on the controller screen
- Confirm the hydraulic operator's operational direction and time
by taking Fail Safety Test through intercepting input current of
servo valve
- Check if various parameters are normal on the analyzer screen
during system operation and if overload or other problems
occur
- Whether there is interruption of Steam Valve's Bushing and Stem.
- Alignment of Steam Valve's Stem(Disk), Seat and
Actuator(Piston Rod)
② Fast Acting Solenoid Valve and Test Solenoid Valve
- Input and output signal value
- Normal amount of oil leakage
- Amount of oil leakage in times of Trip(On-Off)
- Change of actual pressure in times of Trip(On-Off)
- Input signal(Emergency Trip signal) and times of operation
③ Shut Off Valve
- Amount of oil leakage during operation.
- Amount of oil leakage in times of Fast Acting Solenoid Valve Trip
- Confirm the reliability of Shut Off Valve's Seat and Disk
④ Servo Valve
- Null Bias Leakage
- Null Bias Current
- Reproducibility and hysteresis
- Amount of oil leakage in times of Open and Closed operation
- Input current value(±16㎃, ±48㎃)
⑤ Confirm input and output of LVDT(R, S, T) (Check if there is noise) and
reliability
⑥ Examine the amount of oil leakage and abrasion in Power Cylinder
⑦ Examine the performance of Servo Valve
⑧ Examine the reliability of Solenoid Valve and Shut off Valve
Expected effects
Having developed EHSA for the first time in the country, applied it to
power plant facilities, and carried out separate inspection service,
KPS will continue to develope new technology and correspond to
customer's demands by utilizing accumulated knowhow and
eliminating the cause of unexpected breakdown.
