Abstract

This paper attempted to serve as a research for the revival of the electric light plant (Jeondeungso) erected at the Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1887. This report provided a chronological overview of the development of electric light and power in late Joseon dynasty (Korea) before 1900's. It mainly focused on the establishment of light plant in the palace and the erection of new plant for lighting a detached palace Changdeokgung in 1894. Major installations in the first plant were inferred and set up for reconstruction. The powerhouse was a one-story building divided into an engine and dynamo room, and a boiler room. It consisted of the Edison central station lighting system: two 3kW Edison dynamo belted to a high-speed engine which supplied from a coal-fired boiler. Dynamo had capacity of 60, 16-candlepower lamps, thus giving a capacity of 120 incandescent lamps to the station. The new plant was located about midway between the palaces stood apart one-mile, and had capacity of 2,000, 16- candlepower lamps. It is revealed that electric lighting in the palaces has effected nation modernization and finally led the Emperor Gojong to establish Seoul Electric Company in 1898.

韩国电灯和电力发展的早期历史

1887年在景福宫建立的全灯所(全灯所)的恢复是为了研究这一问题。该报告书按时间顺序介绍了20世纪前朝鲜末年电灯和电力的发展情况。主要集中在1894年，在宫内设立了照明工厂，并在昌德宫新建了照明工厂。对第一个工厂的主要设施进行了推断和改造。发电站是一栋一层的建筑，分为发动机和发电机室以及锅炉房。它由爱迪生中央车站照明系统组成:两台3kW的爱迪生发电机与一台由燃煤锅炉供电的高速发动机相连。发电机有60,16支蜡烛的容量，从而为车站提供120盏白炽灯的容量。新工厂位于两座宫殿的中间，相距一英里，可生产2,000支16支蜡烛的灯。据悉，宫内的电灯照明对国家的近代化起到了积极的作用，1898年，高宗天皇设立了首尔电灯公司。
