High level of reliability in facility operation is specifically required these days. The goal of this study is to secure a methodology for reliability analysis of hydro-power plant so that an appropriate decision for operation and investment can be made. Fault tree analysis of water supply system within hydro-power plant has been performed in this study. We briefly examined the electric power generation facility and water supply system. We then developed fault tree for the water supply system based on failure modes and effects analysis. We conclude this study and provided future research areas.

The purpose of this paper is to improve the service tree analysis introduced recently by Geum et al. [15]. Service tree analysis structures the service based on the customer participation perspective and provides a qualitative analysis method categorizing the service elements on the basis of its impact to top service. This paper attempts to apply the concept of reliability importance to the service tree analysis as a perspective of quantitative analysis, which is considered little in Geum et al. [15]. Reliability importance is a measure of the structural impact of the components that make up the system on the system lifetime in reliability engineering field and often used in fault tree analysis. We transform the reliability importance into service importance in accordance with service tree analysis, so that the influence of service elements on the service can be judged and compared. The service importance is defined as the amount of change of the service according to the change of the service element, therefore, it can be utilized as an index for determining a service element for service improvement. In addition, as an index for paired service elements, the relationship between the two service components can be measured by joint service importance. This paper introduces conceptual changes in the process of applying reliability importance to service analysis, and shows how to use the service importance for identifying the priority of service element for the final service and improving customer satisfaction through an example. By using the service importance and joint service importance in service tree analysis, it is possible to make efficient decision making in the process of determining the service elements for analyzing and improving the service.

Most fault prediction models have class imbalance problems because training data usually contains much more non-fault class modules than fault class ones. This imbalanced distribution makes it difficult for the models to learn the minor class module data. Data imbalance is much higher when severity-based fault prediction is used. This is because high severity fault modules is a smaller subset of the fault modules. In this paper, we propose severity-based models to solve these problems using the three sampling methods, Resample, SpreadSubSample and SMOTE. Empirical results show that Resample method has typical over-fit problems, and SpreadSubSample method cannot enhance the prediction performance of the models. Unlike two methods, SMOTE method shows good performance in terms of AUC and FNR values. Especially J48 decision tree model using SMOTE outperforms other prediction models.

Since a slight malfunction of control systems in a nuclear power plant may cause huge catastrophes, such control systems usually have multiple redundancy and reliable features, and their reliability and availability should be analyzed and verified thoroughly. This paper performed the reliability analysis of the SPLC (Safety Programmable Logic Controller) that is under developed as the control systems for the next generation nuclear power plant. One of the key features of SPLC is that it has multiple redundancy modes as faults happen, which means the reliability analysis for one fixed redundant model is not enough to analyze the reliability of SPLC. With considering this reconfigurable concept, FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) was used to capture fault-relationship among sub-modules. The analysis results show that MTTF (Mean Time to Fault) of SPLC is 45,080 hours, which is a about 4.5 times longer than the regulation, 10,000 hours.

시스템의 신뢰성은 디지털 컴퓨터 시대가 시작된 이래 가장 중요한 관심사가 되어 왔다. 신뢰성을 증가시키는 가장 최근 방법 중 하나는 결함허용 시스템을 고안하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 일반적 그래프 형태에 대해 결함 허용 시스템의 구성방법을 제안하였다. 이 시스템은 여러 개의 예비 노드를 가진다. 최근까지 결함허용 시스템 고안은 루프 형태와 트리 형태의 네트워크에서만 작용되어 왔다. 그러나 그것들은 매우 제한적인 경우이다. 본문의 알고리즘은 그러한 많은 제약을 가지지 않고서 어느 유형이든 적용될 수 있는 융통성을 갖도록 시도되었다. 이 알고리즘은 여러 단계로 구성되는데 최소 직경 스패닝 트리의 검출 단계, 최적 노드 결정 단계, 원래의 연결성 복구 단계 및 최종적으로 중복 그래프의 구성 단계이다.

Railway risk is evaluated by a method of linking event trees and fault trees as the general PSA(Probabilistic Safety Assessment) model for the risk assessment of complex systems. Accident scenarios causing undesirable events are modeled by event trees comprised of several accident sequences. Each branch located in the accident progression of the event tree is modeled by an fault tree or can be represented by some value too simply. We usually evaluate the frequency of the whole sequence by adding them after calculating the frequency of each sequence at a time. However, since there are quite a number of event trees and fault trees in the railway risk assessment model, the number of sequence to evaluate increases and preparation for the risk assessment costs much time all the more. Also, it may induce errors when analysts perform the work of quantification. Therefore, the systematic maintenance and control of event trees and fault trees will be essential for the railway risk assessment. In this paper we introduce an integrated assessment method using one-top model and develop a risk assessment tool for the maintenance and control of the railway risk model.

일반적인 이더넷 브리지망에서의 링크장애복구는 Spanning Tree Protocol(STP) 또는 Rapid STP에 의존하여 왔다. 그러나, 이러한 STP는 기본적인 복구지연시간 때문에 항공기제어와 같은 실시간 서비스에 필요한 신속한 장애 복구기능을 제공하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 BcN의 백본 장비간의 내고장성을 제공하는 ITU-T의 Automatic Protection Switching(APS)기술과 최근 A380에 항공기용 데이터버스로 기본 장착되고 있는 ARINC 664의 Avionic Full Duplex Switched Ethernet(AFDX)의 성능을 비교한 후, AFDX기술의 성능 향상을 위하여 기존 AFDX망을 메쉬 형태로 모든 스위치들을 연결하고, 링크 장애 발생 시 장애가 발생한 링크를 우회하여 데이터를 전송하여 고장 감내 기능을 향상시킬 수 있는 링크 우회 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 비교 검증하기 위하여 NS-2를 사용하여 기존의 이더넷과 AFDX, APS 및 제안된 기법을 모의실험하였다. 이러한 AFDX기술은 항공기뿐만 아니라 일반적인 BcN 백본망이나 산업자동화 통신망에서도 적용될 수 있는 특징이 있을 것이다.

On-line fault detection and diagnosis has an increasing interest in a chemical process industry, especially for a process control and automation. The chemical process needs an intelligent operation-aided workstation which can do such tasks as process monitoring, fault detection, fault diagnosis and action guidance in semiautomatic mode. These tasks can increase the performance of a process operation and give merits in economics, safety and reliability. Aiming these tasks, series of researches have been done in our lab. Main results from these researches are building appropriate knowledge representation models and a diagnosis mechanism for fault detection and diagnosis in a chemical process. The knowledge representation schemes developed in our previous research, the symptom tree model and the fault-consequence digraph, showed the effectiveness and the usefulness in a real-time application, of the process diagnosis, especially in large and complex plants. However in our previous approach, the diagnosis speed is its demerit in spite of its merits of high resolution, mainly due to using two knowledge models complementarily. In our current study, new knowledge representation scheme is developed which integrates the previous two knowledge models, the symptom tree and the fault-consequence digraph, into one. This new model is constructed using a material balance, energy balance, momentum balance and equipment constraints. Controller related constraints are included in this new model, which possesses merits of the two previous models. This new integrated model will be tested and verified by the real-time application in a BTX process or a crude unit process. The reliability and flexibility will be greatly enhanced compared to the previous model in spite of the low diagnosis speed. Nexpert Object for the expert system shell and SUN4 workstation for the hardware platform are used. TCP/IP for a communication protocol and interfacing to a dynamic simulator, SPEEDUP, for a dynamic data generation are being studied.

대부분의 화학공정은 매우 크고 복잡하기 때문에 전체 공정에 대한 진단시스템을 만드는 것은 매우 어렵다. 따라서, 대형공정을 몇 개의 부공정으로 분할하여 진단하는 체계적인 방법이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 이상-결과 트리모델에 기반하여 정성적 이상진단을 위한 공정분할전략을 제안하였다. 분할기준으로 유연한 진단, 지식베이스의 크기축소, 및 복잡한 지식베이스의 일관된 구축을 사용하였다 부공정간의 인과관계를 연결하기 위해 통로변수를 도입한 다음 오프라인 분석을 통해 통로변수의 이상-결과 트리모델을 구축하였다 계분할이 없는 경우와 같은 진단결과를 얻을 수 있도록 온라인 진단전략을 수립하였다 제안된 방법의 유용성을 대형 보일러 공정에 대한 이상진단시스템을 통해 보였다.
