Environmental qualification (EQ) for safety-related equipment is required to ensure that those equipment will perform their required function even under the harsh environment conditions arising from design basis accident in the nuclear power plant. As a part of EQ program, the room temperature analysis in case of a loss of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning(HVAC) system was carried out to ensure the operability of the safety-related equipment of a nuclear power plant randomly chosen among the Korean nuclear power plants. In this paper, this analysis was performed in the conservative perspective using GOTHIC code. The room temperature analysis includes selecting the rooms in which the safety related equipment are located but not supported by safety related HVAC and determining the temperature of the selected rooms. Target rooms for the analysis consist of W229/W237 (Aux. feedwater pump room), W232 (Aux. feedwater tank room) and W230 (Equipment passageway). The results showed the temperature range from $43^{\circ}C$ to $83^{\circ}C$, in 72 hours after a loss of HVAC. Those values are far below of generic EQ temperature($171^{\circ}C$). Therefore, it is satisfied with EQ requirement of temperature limits on safety related equipment.

최근 회전기계에 대한 세계적인 기술추세를 볼 때 해를 거듭할수록 더욱 정밀해지고 고속화에 대한 요구가 한층 증대되고 있으며 이러한 측면에서 여러 분야에 우수한 장점을 지니고 있는 능동적 자기베어링의 회전축계 활용에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 프랑스를 중심으로 한 미국, 일본 등이 이에 대한 연구를 활발하게 수행하여 고속 공작기계 스핀들을 비롯한 고진공 펌프 및 각종 터어빈, 압축기 등에 실용화시키는 단계에 있다. 그러나 국내 관련기술에 대한 연구는 연구소, 학계를 중심으로 실험실적인 기초연구로서 부분적으로 수행하는 단계에 있으며 관련분야 활용을 위한 본격적인 연구는 수행되지 못하고 있는 실정이고 이를 실용화시키기 위한 일환으로 능동적 자기 베어링의 회전 축계를 구성하고 있는 요소기술 중 하나인 전력 증폭기의 개발이 이뤄져야 할 필요성이 있는데 본 논문에서는 네트웍 기반 전력 증폭기 개발을 시도하였다. 전력 증폭기는 크게 리니어 앰프와 스위칭 앰프로 구분된다. 리니어 앰프의 경우 회로가 간단하고 노이즈가 비교적 작다는 장점이 있지만 전력손실 및 발열이 크기 때문에 에너지 측면에서 저 효율이라는 점과 따로 방열판을 부착해야 한다는 단점을 가지고 있고, 스위칭 앰프의 경우 전력손실이 작은 반면, 회로가 비교적 복잡하고 노이즈의 발생 가능성이 높다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에선 위 두 가지 방식을 혼합한 혼합형 전력 증폭기로 설계하였다. 또한 기존에 전력증폭기의 경우 상위 주제어기로부터 제어량을 아날로그 신호로 통신하기 때문에 발생할 수 있는 EMI 노이즈신호에 대한 대책을 세워야 하는데 본 연구를 통해 개발된 전력증폭기는 따로 보조제어기(TMS320LF2406A)를 두어 상위 주제어기에 전력증폭기의 상태값을 궤환할 수 있도록 명령 신호체계를 전체 시스템의 샘플링 시간을 고려하여 비교적 전송 속도가 빠른 CAN(Controller Area Network)으로 구축하여 주제어기와 전력 증폭기간에 양방향 통신이 가능하도록 하였다. 이로써 전력증폭기의 상태정보를 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 칩 설계기술의 발전으로 가격대 성능비가 우수한 DSP(TMS320LF2406A)를 이용하여 과거의 아날로그 방식의 명령신호체계를 디지털 신호체계로 바꿈으로써 네트웍을 통해 전력증폭기의 상태진단 가능성을 검증한다.

We demonstrate an S/S＋band discretely tunable thulium doped fiber laser (TTDFL), anchored on a 50-㎓ ITU-T grid. Investigating the inversion analysis of the thulium doped fiber (TDF) in applying a dual wavelength (1.4 m and 1.5 m) pumping scheme, a laser whose tuning range covers most of the S/S＋band has been obtained. Within the wide 3-㏈ bandwidth of 65.1 nm, the output power of the tunable laser exceeds 6.1 ㏈m with very flat spectral profile and the number of DWDM channels generated is as large as 178. If we increase the subsidiary pump power to 22 ㎽, the bandwidth is expanded up to 66.2 nm. By controlling the temperature of the fine grid filter, we have also shown that the frequency locking capability of the laser can be improved. The laser developed in this work is expected to be utilized as a practical optical source providing reference wavelengths in the S/S＋band.

Emission gas regulations and constantly increasing fuel costs call for the worldwide use of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient machines in industry. To meet these requirements, a hybrid excavator prototype has been developed that incorporates an electric swing motor, engine assist motor, and ultra-capacitor module into a conventional hydraulic excavator of the 22-ton class. This paper mainly describes a few techniques to optimize its energy efficiency. These include 1) controlling the engine speed in proportion to the load torque, 2) controlling the pump displacement when driving the electric swing system, 3) managing the ultra-capacitor voltage to minimize the electrical energy loss, and 4) reducing the cooling fan speed to improve the energy efficiency of the system.

Ion exchange metal composite(IPMC) has toughness equivalent to the range of human's muscle, transformation-actuation force by relatively low voltage and the fast response time. Thus, as a new method for preparing thicker IPMC, the solution casting method to make the films of various thicknesses out of liquid nation was attempted in this study. To reduce the surface resistance of electrode, the first plated electrode prepared by Oguro method was replated with Au and Ir using ion beam assisted deposition(IBAD). The microstructures of electrode surfaces before and after IBAD plating were investigated using SEM. The change of water and ion-conductivity in IPMC were measured under applied voltage. The displacement and driving force of IPMCs with various thicknesses were measured to evaluate the driving properties.

In this study, a post-fire safe shutdown analysis (PFSSA) including multiple spurious operation (MSO) treatments for cables was conducted with an imaginary nuclear power plant for training using a deterministic fire analysis code. The imaginary nuclear power plant for the training consisted of a reactor containment building and an auxiliary building, including a total of 22 fire areas. The equipment including valves, pumps, emergency diesel generators, switch gears, motor control centers, and logic controllers were located in each fire area of the imaginary plant. It was assumed that each equipment is connected with two cables and that each cable passes through the fire areas along the cable trays. A database containing the information on the equipment and cables for the imaginary plant was constructed for the fire area analysis. The fire area analysis was performed for several assumed MSO scenarios, equipment logics, and cable logics. A mitigation measure using a three hour rated wrap was applied to the failed cables and cable trays after the fire area analysis.

This paper presents a jitter and phase noise characteristic improved phase-locked loop (PLL) with loop filter voltage detector(LFVD) and frequency voltage converter(FVC). Loop filter output voltage variation is determined through a circuit made of resistor and capacitor. The output signal of a small RC time constant circuit is almost the same as to loop filter output voltage. The output signal of a large RC time constant circuit is the average value of loop filter output voltage and becomes a reference voltage to the added LFVD. The LFVD output controls the current magnitude of sub-charge pump. When the loop filter output voltage increases, LFVD decreases the loop filter output voltage. When the loop filter output voltage decreases, LFVD increases the loop filter output voltage. In addition, FVC also improves the phase noise characteristic by reducing the loop filter output voltage variation. The proposed PLL with LFVD and FVC is designed in a 0.18um CMOS process with 1.8V power voltage. Simulation results show 0.854ps jitter and 30㎲ locking time.
