In this paper, the RCF method is applied to analyze small signal stability of power systems including thyristor controlled FACTS equipments such as SVC. The eigenvalue sensitivity analysis algorithm in discrete systems by the RCF method are presented and applied to the power system including SVC. As a result of simulation, the RCF analysis method is very powerful to calculate the newly generated unstable oscillation modes precisely after periodic switching operations of SVC. Also the RCF analysis method enabled to precisely calculate eigenvalue sensitivity coefficients of dominant oscillation modes after periodic switching operations. These simulation results are very different from those of the conventional continuous system analysis method such as the state space equation method.

There are two methods to calculate design sensitivity such as direct differentiation method and adjoint method. A sort of direct differentiation method for design sensitivity analysis costs too much when number of design variables is much larger than the number of response functions whose design sensitivity analyses are required. Therefore, an adjoint method is suggested for the case that the dimension of design variables is lager than the number of response function. An adjoint method is required to compute adjoint variables from the simultaneous linear system equation, the so-called adjoint equation, requiring only the eigenvalue and its associated eigenvectors for mode being differentiated. This method has been extended to the repeated eigenvalue problem. In this paper, we propose an adjoint method for deign sensitivity analysis of damped vibratory systems with distinct eigenvalues.

In this paper, the RCF(Resistive Companion Form) analysis method is applied to analyze small signal stability of power systems including thyristor controlled FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) equipments such as TCSC(Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor). The eigenvalue sensitivity analysis algorithm in discrete systems based on the RCF analysis method is presented and applied to the power system including TCSC. As a result of simulation, the RCF analysis method is very useful to precisely calculate the variations of eigenvalues or newly generated unstable oscillation modes after periodic switching operations of TCSC. Also the eigenvalue sensitivity analysis method based on the RCF analysis method enabled to precisely calculate eigenvalue sensitivity coefficients of controller parameters about the dominant oscillation mode after periodic switching operations in discrete systems. These simulation results are different from those of the conventional continuous system analysis method such as the state space equation and showed that the RCF analysis method is very useful to analyze the discrete power systems including periodically operated switching equipments such as TCSC.

The spacer grids in nuclear fuel assembly locate and align the fuel rods with respect to each other. They provide axial and lateral restraint against an excessive rod motion mainly caused by coolant flow. It is understood that each rod Is supported by multiple spacer grid. In such a case, it is important to determine spacer grid span so as to avoid resonance between the natural frequency of the fuel rods and excitation frequency. Actually dynamic characteristics of the fuel rods can be improved by assigning adequate spacer grid locations. When a dynamic performance of the structure is to be improved, design sensitivity analysis plays an important role as like many structural redesign problems. In this work, a shape design concept, different from conventional design, was applied to the problem. According to the theory shape can be a design parameter and optimal shape design can be found. This study concentrates on eigenvalue design sensitivity of the fuel rod supported by multiple spacer grids to determine optimal spacer grids positions.

Eigenvalues are taken as performance criteria for structural damping design using viscoelastic material. Given material properties, optimal distribution of damping material is sought based on eigenvalue sensitivity. For eigenanalysis of frequency dependent viscoelastic material rented structures, Golla-Hughes-McTavish(GHM) model is used and some dominant modes are chosen for consideration. (omitted)

A systematic procedure for determining the elements of system state matrix is suggested. The interrelation of submatrices of the system matrix is investigated. Each element or each block can be represented in algebraic form. These results can be applied in the eigenvalue sensitivity analysis with respect to the changes in controller parameters.

An approximate method for the dominant eigenvalue of one machine connected to the infinite bus has been suggested. This method is based on combining the traditional eigenvalue sensitivity analysis and the structure of the system state matrix. Numerical examples are presented. This method is considered to be quite useful in the stability analysis for various initial conditions and for adjustment of generator controller parameters.

A procedure to determine the realizable optimal positions of rigid supports is suggested to get a maximum fundamental natural frequency. a measured frequency response function based substructure-coupling technique is used to model the supported structure. The optimization procedure carries out the eigenvalue sensitivity analysis with respect to the stiffness of supports. As a result of such stiffness optimization, the optimal rigid-support positions are shown to be determined by choosing the position of the largest stiffness. The optimally determined support conditions are verified to satisfy the eigenvalue limit theorem. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the optimal support positions of a plate model are investigated. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can effectively find out the optimal support conditions of the structure just based on the measured frequency response functions without any use of numerical model of the structure.
