Centrifugal pump is a key part of nuclear power plant systems, and its health status is critical to the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants. Therefore, fault diagnosis is required for centrifugal pump. Traditional fault diagnosis methods have difficulty extracting fault features from nonlinear and non-stationary signals, resulting in low diagnostic accuracy. In this paper, a new fault diagnosis method is proposed based on the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm-based variational modal decomposition (VMD) and relevance vector machine (RVM). Firstly, a simulation test bench for rotor faults is built, in which vibration displacement signals of the rotor are also collected by eddy current sensors. Then, the improved particle swarm algorithm is used to optimize the VMD to achieve adaptive decomposition of vibration displacement signals. Meanwhile, a screening criterion based on the minimum Kullback-Leibler (K-L) divergence value is established to extract the primary intrinsic modal function (IMF) component. Eventually, the factors are obtained from the primary IMF component to form a fault feature vector, and fault patterns are recognized using the RVM model. The results show that the extraction of the fault information and fault diagnosis classification have been improved, and the average accuracy could reach 97.87%.

본 논문은 가압 중수로형 원자력발전소 압력관의 건전성 평가에 적용하고 있는 각 비파괴검사기술의 특정을 평가하기 위해서 IAEA(International Atomic Energy Agency)주관으로 세계 6개국이 참여하는 수행한 다자간 비교시험(Round-Robin Test)결과를 분석한 내용이다. 이 다자비교시험에는 세계적으로 현재 가압 중수로형 원자력발전소를 운영하고 있는 한국, 카나다, 인도, 아르헨티나, 루마니아, 중국 등 총 6개구깅 참여하였으며, 시험에는 한국에서 제작한 인공결함시험편(시험편명 : "KOR-1")이 사용되었다. 본 연구를 위해 참여 6개국에서 적용한 비파괴검사 기술은 현재 압력관의 건전성 평가에 적용되고 있는 초음파검사와 와전류검사 등의 2가지 기술이다. 결함시험편에는 균열성 노치, 마모 등의 총 12개의 인공결함이 포함되어 있으며, 이 인공결함은 발전소 운전중 발생 가능성이 있는 결함과 유사한 형태를 가지고 있다. 다자비교시험 결과 참여 6개국에서 두가지 비파괴검사법을 적용하여 시험편내에 포함되어 있는 총 12개의 모든 인공결함을 검출하였으며, 결함 검출도는 초음파검사법이 와전류검사법보다 우수하였다. 또한 압력관 시험편 내경측 결함이 외경측 결함보다 용이하게 검출되었으며, 크기 측정 정확도는 결함 검출도와 동일하게 시험편 내경측 결함의 크기가 외경측 결함보다 더 정확하게 측정되었다.

본 논문에서는 국내의 고압 가공배전선으로 일반적으로 사용되는 ACSR-OC의 열회를 검출하기 위하여, 솔레 노아드 와류센서를 가진 비파괴 검사시스템의 설계와 실험을 다루었다. ACSR-OC 도체에 대한 부식기구와 열회 상태를 검토하므로써, 부식이 도채의 유효단면적을 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 노화도체의 극심한 부적정도룹 검출하고 정량화하기 위한 실용적인 전기.자기적인 방법올 제시하였다. 고주파 정전류원, 신호처리 부와 모터 구동/제어기로 구생되눈 계측시스템이 설계되고 시험되었다. 이 장치는 센서의 출력을 검출하고 검사도체의 직경변화를 연속적으로 추정하는 기능을 갖고 있다. 그 결과, 와류센서를 가진 부각검출시스템은 가공 재전선의 열화에 기인한 심각한 결함을 추정하고 극심한 노호도체가 단선되기 전에 사전 경고를 하는데 양호한 효용성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

Steam Generator(SG) tubes are classified as one of the key components in nuclear power plants, and they should be periodically examined by the intensified management program for the assurance and diagnosis of their structural integrity. In this study, we use the optimum analysis technique to draw the detection and categorization of bowing(BOW) signals; abnormal tube-to-tube proximity in the SG upper bundle free span area. The locations in which BOW signals are detected likely have latent degradation of ODSCC(Outer Diameter Stress Corrosion Cracking). For the sake of timely and correct detection of BOW signals and diagnosis of ODSCC, we carried out the experimental demonstrations using a reduced mock-up. And we validated the MRPC(Motorized Rotating Pancake Coil) analysis technique is better than the bobbin. Hence, it comes to conclusion that the optimum analysis technique can be a good alternative for the reliable SG tube examination.

Domestic nuclear steam generators with Alloy 600 HTMA tubes have experienced axial cracking at eggcrate tube support plates(TSPs). The axial stress corrosion cracks were observed at the crevice between outside of tubes and eggcrate TSPs. The root cause of axial cracking was investigated by thermal hydraulic analysis and sludge distribution diagnosis. It is suggested that deposition of sludge at eggcrate TSPs could increase the outside surface temperature of tube and promote the enrichment of impurities at crevice, and thus accelerate cracking. Additionally strategy for reducing the sludge ingress to steam generators is discussed.

A portable mould oscillation analyzer with an integrated computer, developed by POSCO, records the movement of the mould in every spatial direction. The system uses the gap sensors to measure the mould movement (displacement) in two horizontal directions according to the mould narrow and broad faces and the vertical strokes in the four corners of mould. The gap sensor is a non-contacting minute displacement-measuring device using the principle of high frequency eddy current loss. The mould oscillation diagnostic system integrates the gap sensors, their converters and the industrial portable computer with plug-in data acquisition boards. In an own expert module, which is included in the diagnosis program, one can obtain much information about the mould oscillation equipment.

In order to prevent shell sticking by providing sufficient lubrication between the strand and the mold, the mold oscillation has been used. Now it is well known that the shape of the oscillation curve has a decisive effect on the surface quality of the cast product. Besides, oscillation parameters such as stroke and frequency are also very important. In order to guarantee that parameters which have been found to be optimal for a certain grade of steel do not change with time, periodical checks of the physical condition of the whole equipment are necessary. The portable mold oscillation analyzer with integrated computer, developed by POSCO, records the movement of the mold in every spatial direction. The system uses the gap sensors to measure the mold movement (displacement ) in the two horizontal directions according to the mold narrow and broad faces and the vertical strokes in the four corners of mold. The gap sensor is a non-contacting minute displacement measuring device using the principle of high frequency eddy current loss. The mold oscillation diagnosis system integrates the gap sensors, their converters and the industrial portable computer with plug-in data acquisition boards. The all programs, such as the fast Fourier transformation module (amplitude and phase spectrums) and harmonic analysis module, was coded by LabVIEW$^{TM}$ software as the graphical language. In an own 'expert module' which is included in the diagnosis program, one can obtain much information about the mold oscillation equipment.
