VR (Virtual reality) technologies have given engineers the ability to design, test, and evaluate engineering systems in a virtual environment. The virtual plant is the highlight of the application of the VR technology to plant engineering. Plant design, maintenance, control, management, operation are integrated in the virtual plant. The VR monitoring system including the concept of the virtual plant is developed to replace a current control room that has number of gages and warning lamps in two-dimensional panels which shows the operating status of a plant. The operating status of the plant is displayed in the VR monitoring system through the realistic computer graphics. Sophisticated, realistic and prompt control becomes possible. The VR monitoring system consists of advanced visualization, walk-through simulation and navigation. In the virtual environment, a user can navigate and interact with each component of a plant. In addition, the user can access the information by just clicking interesting component. The VR monitoring system is operated with various modules, such as (1) virtual plant constructed with Graphic Management System (GMS), (2) Touch & Tell System, and (3) Equipment DB System of Part. In order to confirm the usefulness of the VR monitoring system, a pilot gas plant which is currently being used for plant operator training is taken as application. The end of the paper gives an outlook on the future work and a brief conclusion.

Digital twin technology, which copies information from real space into virtual space, is being used in a variety of fields.Interest in digital twins is increasing, especially in advanced manufacturing fields such as Industry 4.0-based smart manufacturing. Operating a digital twin system generates a large amount of data, and the data generated has different characteristics depending on the technology field, so it is necessary to efficiently manage resources and use an optimized digital twin platform technology. Research on digital twin pipelines has continued, mainly in the advanced manufacturing field, but research on high-speed pipelines suitable for data in the plant field is still lacking. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a pipeline design method that is specialized for digital twin data in the plant field that is rapidly poured through Apache Kafka. The proposed model applies plant information on a Revit basis. and collect plant-specific data through Apache Kafka. Equipped with a lightweight CFD engine, it is possible to create a digital twin model that is more suitable for the plant field than existing digital twin technology for the manufacturing field.

The IMO has adopted emission standards that strictly restrict the use of bunker C oil for vessels. Accordingly, research and bunkering pilot projects for LNG fueled ships are being actively carried out, which is expected to substantially reduce environmental pollution. In this study, we have adopted the turret moored Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal (FLBT) designed to receive the LNG from LNGCs and to transfer LNG to LNG bunkering shuttles in ship to ship moored condition. Numerical simulations have been performed with a 1-year return period of wind, wave, and current. Damping values of numerical model were adjusted from the results of model tests to obtain accurate simulation results. The results confirm safe berthing operation during the 1-year return period of environmental condition. Safety depends on the direction of environment, with increasingly stable operation facilitated by the application of heading-control function of FLBT to avoid beam-sea conditions.

This paper presents an estimation method for the static configuration of a steel lazy wave riser (SLWR) using the dynamic relaxation method applied to estimate the configuration of structures with strong geometric non-linearity. The lumped mass model is introduced to reflect the flexible structural characteristics of the riser. In the lumped mass model, the tensions, shear forces, buoyancy, self-weights, and seabed reaction forces at nodal points are considered in order to find the static configuration of the SLWR. The dynamic relaxation method using a viscous damping formulation is applied to the static configuration analysis. Fictitious masses are defined at nodal points using the sum of the largest direct stiffness values of nodal points to ensure the numerical stability. Various case studies were performed according to the bending stiffness and size of the buoyancy module using the dynamic relaxation method. OrcaFlex was employed to validate the accuracy of the developed numerical method.

소유역 내 첨두유량 산정 시 자주 활용되는 합리식은 유역 내 저류효과를 고려하지 못한다는 한계가 있다. 여기서, 저류효과를 고려하여 첨두시간과 첨두유량을 산정하게 되면 규모가 큰 유역에 합리식을 적용했을 때 발생 가능한 불확실성을 어느 정도 줄일 수 있다. 즉, 합리식의 경우, 집중시간과 동일한 지속기간에서 첨두유량이 최대가 되지만 저류효과를 고려하는 경우, 집중시간보다 긴 지속기간에서 첨두유량이 최대가 될 가능성이 크며 이에 따른 임계지속기간이 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유역 내 저류효과를 고려한 합리식을 제안하기 위해 집중시간과 다른 지속기간에도 적용 가능한 선형저수지 이론 기반의 수정합리식을 개발하였다. 특히, 가상 유역 및 실제 유역 내 개발된 수정합리식을 적용함으로써 지속기간과 집중시간 간의 차이에 따른 첨두시간 및 첨두유량의 변동 특성을 분석·평가하였다.

에너지 플랜트, 화학공장 등 대형 기계설비의 복잡도 증가는 그에 따른 위험요소 복잡도를 증가시키고 있다. 대형 기계설비에 대한 위험 관리와 시스템 신뢰도 향상을 위해서는 위험도 기반의 안전 설계/해석, 상태 감시 및 진단을 이용한 설비 모니터링, 인적 신뢰도 향상이 요구되며 설계 단계에서부터 운영 및 유지보수 단계까지의 시스템 생애주기 전반에 걸친 지속적인 활동을 필요로 한다. 인적 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위해서는 설비 운영자가 응급 또는 이상상황에 대처할 수 있는 능력 즉, 안전사고 대응 능력 확보가 필수적이다. 대상 설비에 대한 실제 훈련은 시간, 비용, 훈련자의 안전 확보가 어렵고 반복적인 훈련 및 평가가 어렵기 때문에 가상 환경을 이용한 안전대응 훈련 플랫폼을 설계하였다. 훈련자에게 몰입형 가상 환경을 제공하기 위하여 가상현실 및 안전사고 시뮬레이션 기술을 이용하였으며 이를 통하여 훈련자의 안전을 유지하면서 안전대응 능력을 향상시킬 수 있다.

원자력발전소는 다중방호의 개념에서 복수의 안전설비를 갖는 등 계통이 팽대하고 복잡하며 또한 엄격한 품질관리를 실시하므로 다른 발전형식에 비해 건설비가 높은 편이다. 따라서 설비의 유효이용을 도모하는 것이 중요하다. 이와 같은 관점에서 앞으로 기설발전소의 장수명화를 도모하고, 전수명기간의 발전전력량을 증대시킴으로서 원자력발전 코스트를 다른 발전코스트보다 유리하게 하는 것도 가능하다. 장수명화를 실현시키기 위해서는 수명평가상 중요한 구조기기의 노화진단기술, 수명예측방법 및 수명을 좌우하고 교환이 곤란한 기기$\cdot$시스템의 보수기술$\cdot$공법 등에 관한 기술개발이 중요한 과제이다.

This paper represents the application of a virtual plant simulator and a Ladder Diagram of PLC. A target plant is a material transport car that repeatedly conveys along the rails. The whole process is automatically operated by PLC. The simulation system consists of the POSFA PLC and the virtual plant simulator.
