Analog circuit design is comparatively more complex than its digital counterpart due to its nonlinearity and low level of abstraction. This study proposes a novel low-level hybrid of the sine-cosine algorithm (SCA) and modified grey-wolf optimization (mGWO) algorithm for machine learning-based design automation of CMOS analog circuits using an all-CMOS voltage reference circuit in 40-nm standard process. The optimization algorithm's efficiency is further tested using classical functions, showing that it outperforms other competing algorithms. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the variation and power usage, while satisfying all the design limitations. Through the interchange of scripts for information exchange between two environments, the SCA-mGWO algorithm is implemented and simultaneously simulated. The results show the robustness of analog circuit design generated using the SCA-mGWO algorithm, over various corners, resulting in a percentage variation of 0.85%. Monte Carlo analysis is also performed on the presented analog circuit for output voltage and percentage variation resulting in significantly low mean and standard deviation.

EPA(Electric Power Automation IT Infra) is a System for Protective Information Transmitter & Receiver and network service. KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) is building up a high-speed communication network to accept Smart Grid Infra expansion and various terminal communication media characteristic. Recently, MSPP(Multi Service Provisioning Platform) System is establishted to network service. But there are many considerations for optimal design of network service for the Electric Power Automation IT Infra.

DNP 3.0 is the most widely used data communication protocol for electric power control systems. KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) also uses DNP 3.0 as a data transmission protocol for the DAS(Distribution Automation System) and the SCADA system of the transmmission system. But DNP 3.0 is one of the oldest industrial standard having many restrictions and there are many considerations for optimal design of DNP 3.0 network for the Distribution Automation System.

Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) operation for a Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system can be achieved by designing a ZVS controller. However, the performance of the controller in some industrial applications needs to be designed tightly. This paper introduces a ZVS controller design method for WPT systems. The parameters of the controller are designed according to the desired performance based on the closed loop dominant pole placement method. To describe the dynamic characteristics of the system ZVS angle, a nonlinear dynamic model is deduced and linearized using the small signal linearization method. By analyzing the zero-pole distribution, a low-order equivalent model that facilitates the controller design is obtained. The parameters of the controller are designed by calculating the time constant of the closed-loop dominant poles. A prototype of a WPT system with the designed controller and a five-stage multistage series variable capacitor (MSVC) is built and tested to verify the performance of the controller. The recorded response curves and waveforms show that the designed controller can maintain the ZVS angle at the reference angle with satisfactory control performance.

The nuclear design analysis requires time-consuming and erroneous model-input preparation. code run. output analysis and quality assurance process. To reduce human effort and improve design quality and productivity. Innovative Design Processor (IDP) is being developed. Two basic principles of IDP are the document-oriented desigll and the web-based design. The document-oriented design is that. if the designer writes a design document called active document and feeds it to a special program. the final document with complete analysis. table and plots is made automatically. The active documents can be written with Microsoft Word or created automatically on the web. which is another framework of IDP. Using the proper mix-up of server side and client side programming under the LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) environment. it e design process on the web is modeled as a design wizard style so that even a novice designer makes the design document easily. This automation using the IDP is now being implemented for all the reload design of Korea Standard Nuclear Power Plant (KSNP) type PWRs. The introduction of this process will allow large reduction in all reload design efforts of KSNP and provide a platform for design and R&D tasks of KNFC.

'소방시설 내진설계 의무화'에 발맞추어 내진설계의 신뢰성과 효율성 향상을 위해서는 설계 자동화 소프트웨어 개발이 필수불가결하다. 본 연구에서 개발한 내진 설계 자동화 S/W는 소방청의 「소방시설의 내진설계 기준(이하 "국내 기준")」에 따른 흔들림 방지 버팀대(이하 "버팀대")의 자동 배치, 계산서 출력 및 그리고 물량 자동 산출 등의 기능을 제공한다. 또한, 자동화 S/W는 설계자의 수동설계와 비교하였을 때 약 3배 정도의 업무 속도를 단축시켜줄 뿐만 아니라 버팀대 등의 설계물량과 관련한 휴먼에러를 줄임으로써 설계안의 신뢰성을 높여준다. 뿐만 아니라 그동안 보수적으로 접근했던 소방시설의 내진설계방식에 있어 적어도 버팀대 사용에 대해서 컴퓨터 알고리즘을 이용한 최적의 내진설계를 수행할 수 있었다.

Concrete slab bridge is one of most common structures employed for local road constructions because of its simplicity in design and construction. Computer applications were developed to automate the repetitive computation for these simple structures. However, in most cases, managing the electronic documents produced by these applications has not been incorporated with design automation application yet. Resultant documents are often managed by individuals and disappear as time goes by due to lack of systemic management. This paper introduces a Web-based application developed to not only speed up the design process but also enhance the collection and manipulation of resultant electronic documents.
