현재 건설중인 3톤/일 규모의 석탄가스화기 운전제어를 위한 콘트롤시스템은 각종 하드웨어와 소프트웨어로 구성된다. 하드웨어는 운전자가 접하게되는 컴퓨터 화면(Operator Console), 운전 제어용 판넬(Hardwired Console), 본 시스템의 핵심인 콘트롤러(PLC; Programmable Logic Controller), 폭발성가스와 분진이 있는 환경하에서의 안전운전을 위한 본질안전 장벽(Intrinsic Safety Barrier) 및 운전정보 수집과 운전 제어를 위한 각종 전/계장품(Field Instrument) 등으로 구성된다. 본 시스템에 포함되는 소프트웨어에는 운전자와 콘트롤러간의 통신을 위한 운전제어화면(GUI;Graphical User Interface), 전체적인 제어를 위한 콘트롤로직(Control Logic)등이있다. 한편 각종 펌프 및 보일러 등 보조설비로의 전기공급을 위한 MCC(Motor Control Center)도 하나의 구성원이 된다. 본 논문은 석탄가스화 반응기의 운전에 관한 전반적인 검토와 콘트롤시스템을 구성하는 각 요소와 각각의 특징 및 그 개발 현황에 대한 검토를 그 내용으로 한다. 본 연구과제를 통해 제작, 설치될 석탄가스화기는 차세대 발전 시스템으로 주목을 받고있는 석탄가스화 복합발전시스템의 핵심부분으로, 본 반응장치의 제어에 관한 경험은 상용 규모의 석탄가스화 반응기에도 유사하게 적용될 것으로 기대된다.

In order to investigate the impact properties of structural materials for LNG tank, instrumented Charpy impact tests were carried out at cryogenic temperatures. $9\%$ Ni steel showed a superior fracture resistance because of less degradation in toughness until 77 K. From the load-deflection curve obtained by an instrumented methods it was found that with the decrease of temperature from 173 K to 77 K, the peak load in the curve increased, but the total absorbed energy decreased. In addition, the energy absorbed during the crack growth was larger than one absorbed in the process of crack initiation. In SUS304L material, the energy absorbed in the process of the crack initiation was relatively large, but the energy absorbed in the process of crack growth was small, the behavior of absorbed energy was well agreed with the observations of the fracture surface which showed a relatively smooth fracture surface. The absorbed Charpy impact energy in the case of A5083 alloy was lower as compared with other steels, and some cracks were observed along the crack propagation direction at the fracture surface of 77 K.

It is the well-known fact that most part of goods transported are moved on the unfavorable ocean and even a small amount of accident on sea is extremely dangerous for human lives, financial losses, and social responsibility. Among the several causes of accidents, those by fire have occurred frequently and their damage has been highly serious. The aim of this paper is to assess the risk of fires due to oil leakage in the machinery space. To define the possible fire scenario, our team has performed the search of casualty database and reviewed the previous and various studies in the field. As a result, it is noted that the quantitative risk of the fire scenario have been evaluated on the ground of the FSA risk model. The expected frequency of a fire amounts to incidents during the life of a ship, and the expected financial damage amounts to 5,654 USD per a ship. By adopting Safety Instrumented System (SIS) introduced in IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, SIS model is designed to prevent oil leakage fire as a risk reduction method. It is concluded that System Integrity Level (SIL) 1 seems to be appropriate level of SIS.

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) have wide application area. They are of vital importance at process plants to detect the onset of hazardous events, for instance, a release of some hazardous material, and for mitigating their consequences to humans, material assets, and the environment. The integrated safety systems, where electrical, electronic, and/or programmable electronic (E/E/PE) devices interact with mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems are governed by international safety standards like IEC 61508. IEC 61508 organises its requirements according to a Safety Life Cycle (SLC). Fulfilling these requirements following the SLC can be complex without the aid of SIS supporting tools. This paper presents simple SIS support tool which can greatly help the user to implement the design phase of the safety lifecycle. This tool is modelled in the form of Android application which can be integrated with a Web-based data reading and modifying system. This tool can reduce the computation time spent on the design phase of the SLC and reduce the possible errors which can arise in the process. In addition, this paper presents an optimization approach to SISs based on cost measures. The multi-objective genetic algorithm has been used for the optimization to search for the best combinations of solutions without enumeration of all the solution space.
