1. EAF(Electric Arc Furnace)
Efficiency Enhancement - AI Project

AI 전기로 그림.png

A statistical model to predict the Electronic Energy(EE) consumption of EAF

- The main task is to find inefficient momentum in the process process in terms of energy consumption and to find key variables that are highly related to power consumption to reduce energy loss and maximize process efficiency.


A statistical model to predict molten steel temperature of EAF

- The main task is to predict the temperature prediction of molten steel during steelmaking.
The operators predict and check the temperature of molten steel in the furnace based on their experiences. Repeated measurements of the temperature of the molten steel can cause heat and loss of productivity. The prediction will reduce the number of measurements, which will increase the productivity and efficiency significally.

▶ Investigation of Cooling system for EV super-fast charger

- Development of a phase change cooling system   using subcooled flow boiling and dielectric fluid

- When the power is increased for fast charging, the   amount of heat generated increases. By developing a   cooling system, charging time can be effectively   reduced.

- Unlike existing air/liquid cooling methods, cooling   performance is effectively improved by using boiling   because of latent heat.

- Develop a cooling system that directly cools by   utilizing the electrical insulation properties of   dielectric fluid.

▶ Small 12kW S-CO2 transcritical cycle loop experiment

- Small scale S-CO2 experimental facility was designed and manufactured in our lab.

- A experiment of transcritical cycle efficiency for small heat source(such as solar power) power cycle

- Designed Cycle Efficiency : 6.98%


- After installing IHX : 18.75%

 

▶ S-CO2 Brayton Cycle Design

- The supercritical CO2(S-CO2) power cycle research is a next generation technology that will replace conventional steam rankine  and gas turbine cycles.

- S-CO2 has both liquid and gas properties, which can significantly reduce the scale of the cycle and enable the establishment of a power generation system with high economic feasibility and efficiency.
