Turbine power control devices at a nuclear / thermoelectric power plant lead to failure by creating mechanical shocks and strong vibrations that are due to the strong elasticity of a spring and the inertia of the valve face during its rapid movement to block steam. To ensure durability of the turbine power control device, which is the main component in the power plant, it is necessary to develop a device that can prevent such vibrations. In this study, a cushion mechanism is added to the head of the hydraulic servo actuator, which is a turbine power control device. Moreover, the cushion mechanism, which includes various modifies shapes and orifices is investigated dynamically through modeling and simulations.

Recently, methods of verification for electro-hydraulic servo controllers are various and the required number of testing controllers is continuously increasing in some specific systems. In this study, a PCB-based electronic simulator of hydraulic actuators is designed and developed to simplify test set-up for controllers and to facilitate alteration for characteristics of the simulator. Several features to reduce required time and manpower for verifying controllers are described. Especially, the simulator is considerably efficient to examine some controllers for different hydraulic actuators in a test. Response characteristics of the simulator are compared with those of real actuators to demonstrate validity of this method. Results reveal utilizing the designed simulator for inspecting controllers is equally effective as using hydraulic actuators.

A sun tracking controller for PTC(parabolic trough concentrator) is a control system used to orient the concentrator toward the sun always, so that the maximum energy can be collected. The work presented here is a design and development of microprocessor based sun tracking control system for PTC. Sun tracking control system consists of a sun sensor and a single axis tracking control system. 80c196KC based control system consists of an analog input unit, 24V DC servomotor drive unit, I/O unit. Sun sensor has been constructed using photodiode and can detect the sun located within ${\pm}50^{\circ}$ measured from the sun sensor normal direction. The sun tracking system developed is being implemented and shows a good sun tracking performance.

The brushless DC motor is widely being used in unmanned factories for its easy maintenance and characteristics of controllability. In this paper, we designed a speed control servo system of a sinusoidal type bmshless DC motor which has high efficiency and usefulness in the industrial fields. This servo system is realized by a controller which is required for driving motors and a new auto-tuning PI control algorithm. The DSP(Digita1 Signal Processor) is adopted as a main controller and a sensor signal processor owing to its fast computational capability and suitable architecture. Also, the hardware PWnl(Pulse Width Modulation) current controller is implemented to pursue a speed command exactly. By experimental results, it is verified that the speed response is pursued fast after command value and the steady-state response is well converged for command value variation without overshoots.

원자력/화력 발전소에서 사용중인 터빈출력제어장치(turbine power control device)는 유압 서보액추에이터(hydraulic servo actuator)로 구동하는 특수 스팀 밸브(steam valve)로서 터빈의 속도를 제어하고 스팀을 차단하는 기능이 있다. 대형 발전기(500~1000Mw)를 구동하여 양질의 전기를 생산하기 위해서는 발전기에 연결된 고압 및 저압터빈에 최적량의 스팀을 공급하여야 하고, 고속(화력 3600 rpm, 원자력 1800 rpm)으로 회전하는 터빈이나 스팀계통에 이상이 발생할 경우 터빈의 과속(over speed) 방지를 위하여, 즉시 터빈으로 공급되는 스팀을 차단하여 터빈을 보호해야 한다. 따라서 터빈의 속도제어와 계통의 스팀 량을 감시하여 차단하는 발전소의 특수 밸브의 신뢰성확보기술이 요구된다. 특히 원자력발전소의 경우 핵연료교환주기(약 24개월)에 밸브들을 정비 또는 교체하고 있어 이때마다 시스템과 매칭(튜닝)기술이 요구되었다. 본 연구에서는 전량 수입에 의존했던 원자력/화력 발전소의 특수 밸브인 터빈출력제어장치의 국산화 개발과 신뢰성확보기술 효과에 대하여 논하였다.

The precision hydraulic valve is widely used in various industrial field like aircraft, automobile, and general machinery. Servo actuator is the most important device for driving the precise hydraulic valve. The reliable operation of servo actuator effects on the overall hydraulic system. The performance of servo actuator relies on frequency response and step response according to arbitrary input signal. In this paper, we performed the analysis for the components of servo actuator to satisfy the reliable operation and response characteristics through the reliability analysis, and also induced the design parameters to realize the reliable operation and fast response characteristics of servo actuator for hydraulic valve operation through the empirical knowledge of experts and electromagnetic theories. We suggested the design equations to determine the values of design parameters of servo actuator as like bobbin size, length of yoke and plunger and turn number of coil, and verified the achieved design values through FEM analysis and performance tests using some prototypes of servo actuators adapted in hydraulic valve.

최근 산업 분야에 걸쳐서 고속, 고정밀도의 요구사항에 따라, 회전 모터와 볼 스크류, 벨트를 이용한 직선구동방식보다 빠르고 정확하며, 효율이 높은 직접구동 방식의 리니어모터 및 컨트롤러의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이런 상황에 고속 연산을 수행할 수 있는 DSP(Digital Signal Processor)의 사용이 불가피하며, 기존의 칩들은 A/D변환기, PWM발생장치 등이 내장되지 않아 제어장치의 부품 수증가 및 복잡성을 피할 수 없었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 SVPWM(Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation) 및 QEP(Quadrature Encoder Pulse) 회로와 PWM 발생기, 12bit의 고속 A/D변환기, 파워 드라이버보호회로 등을 내장한 TMS320F2812 DSP를 사용하여 반도체장비분야, 자동화분야 등에 사용되는 LBLDCM의 제어를 가능하게 만들었다. 또한, 기존의 DSP 시리즈 보다 연산속도가 고속화되어 고속연산에 의한 시간적 제한을 극복 할 수 있게 되었고, 제어에 필요한 하드웨어적인 기능들을 내장하고 있어서 주변회로가 필요 없게 되었다. 따라서 하드웨어의 간소화와 개발 시간의 단축 및 신뢰도의 향상과 모터 효율의 향상을 가져오도록 하였다. 제안된 제어장치는 제작되어, 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

An ultra high- pressure system generally consists of a hydraulic power unit, an oil supply unit, an electrical power supply device, and an electrical control device. The hydraulic power unit supplies the hydraulic power to the intensifier to create generate ultra high pressure. The intensifier amplifies increases the pressure using the oil supplied from by the hydraulic power unit. The electrical supply devices and control devices maintain are provided for the electric motors, valves, and sensors. In this study, instead of a flow-control device, a pressure-control type device was mounted on a manifold block in the hydraulic power unit instead of the flow-control type. A servo valve was fitted in the intensifier, and the performance characteristics of the intensifier varied according to the variations of in the pressure cycle and with the temperature of the operating oil in the hydraulic power unit.
