The importance of ensuring uninterrupted electric power supply was reaffirmed on the occasion of the Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake in 1995, when the district was affected by extended power failure. The notice has been attached to the resistance of power generation facilities to severe earthquake. The seismic proving test of equipment and structures in thermal conventional power plant was conducted. Tests were performed to demonstrate the earthquake resistant property of the LNG tank and to verify the validity of the FEM analysis. It was adopted for analyzing lateral slipping and EFB. With the comprehensive evaluation of tests and analysis, the seismic capability of LNG tank was assessed.

The Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake in 1995 has recognized us the importance of the resistance capability against earthquakes on the thermal power plant. In this respect, seismic proving tests on the equipment of the thermal power plant have been planned and carried out. Vibration tests and FEM analysis were performed to demonstrate the earthquake resistant property of the tank. FEM analysis was adopted for analyzing lateral slipping and elephant foot bulge (EFB). To verify the validity of the FEM analysis, the results of tests were compared with those of analysis. Using these analysis methods, we estimate the seismic capability of the LNG tank under severe seismic excitation. As the results, we confirmed that lateral slipping and EFB did not occurred at severe seismic excitation.

We recognized the importance of the seismic capability against earthquakes of the thermal power plant on the occurrence of the Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake in 1995. In this respect, seismic proving tests on the equipment of the thermal power plant had been planned and carried out. Vibration tests and FEM analysis were performed to demonstrate the seismic capability of the equipment. A liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank was selected as one of the subjects. One of the remarkable nonlinear phenomena of an actual large tank was Elephant Foot Bulge (EFB). To investigate the EFB behavior of the tank, vibration test of the large scale model tank and FEM analysis were conducted. Then we estimated EFB behavior of the tank.

Lending OperationsThe International Bank for Reconstruction and Development made a loan on November 19, 1954, of $16.2 million to finance the foreign exchange costs of a thermal electric power plant in Bombay, India. The National City Bank of New York had agreed to participate in the loan without the Bank's guarantee to the extent of $1,364,000. The recipients of the loan, the Tata Hydro Electric Power Supply Co., Ltd., the Andhra Valley Power Supply Co., Ltd., and the Tata Power Co., Ltd., had already raised the equivalent of $6.2 million toward the rupee costs of the project ($11.3 million). The loan, which was for a period of 20 years, bore interest of 4¾ percent per annum, including the Bank's 1 percent commission.

In modern power enterprises, the stability of auxiliary power supply is related to the safe and stable operation of units, so the high spee amage in serious cases. This paper could provide reference for safety operation through a case of transfer failure of high-voltage auxiliary power transfer device in an expansion power plant.
