In this paper, an algorithm of fault detection and diagnosis during operation of induction motors under the condition of various loads and rates is investigated. For this purpose, the spectrum pattern of input currents is used in monitoring the state of induction motors, and by clustering the spectrum pattern of input currents, the newly occurrence of spectrum patterns caused by faults are detected. For the diagnosis of the fault detected, a fuzzy fault tree is designed, and the fuzzy relation equation representing the relation between an induction motor fault and each fault type, is solved. The solution of the fuzzy relation equation shows the possibility of occurence of each fault. The results obtained are summarized as follows : (1) Using clustering algorithm by unsupervised learning, an on-line fault detection method unaffected by the characteristics of loads and rates is implemented, and the degree of dependency for experts during fault detection is reduced. (2) With the fuzzy fault tree, the fault diagnosis process become systematic and expandable to the whole system, and the diagnosis for sub-systems can be made as an object-oriented module.

The objective of this paper is to suggest a new quantification method for multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) that removes the overestimation error caused by the existing delete-term approximation (DTA) based quantification method. So far, for the actual plant PSA model quantification, a fault tree with negates have been solved by the DTA method. It is well known that the DTA method induces overestimated core damage frequency (CDF) of nuclear power plant (NPP). If a PSA fault tree has negates and non-rare events, the overestimation in CDF drastically increases. Since multi-unit seismic PSA model has plant level negates and many non-rare events in the fault tree, it should be very carefully quantified in order to avoid CDF overestimation. Multi-unit PSA fault tree has normal gates and negates that represent each NPP status. The NPP status means core damage or non-core damage state of individual NPPs. The non-core damage state of a NPP is modeled in the fault tree by using a negate (a NOT gate). Authors reviewed and compared (1) quantification methods that generate exact or approximate Boolean solutions from a fault tree, (2) DTA method generating approximate Boolean solution by solving negates in a fault tree, and (3) probability calculation methods from the Boolean solutions generated by exact quantification methods or DTA method. Based on the review and comparison, a new intersection removal by probability (IRBP) method is suggested in this study for the multi-unit PSA. If the IRBP method is adopted, multi-unit PSA fault tree can be quantified without the overestimation error that is caused by the direct application of DTA method. That is, the extremely overestimated CDF can be avoided and accurate CDF can be calculated by using the IRBP method. The accuracy of the IRBP method was validated by simple multi-unit PSA models. The necessity of the IRBP method was demonstrated by the actual plant multi-unit seismic PSA models.

Conventional fault tree analysis has several problems as the estimations and tolerances of the failure probability values. To overcome these problems, fuzzy concepts with natural language can be applied to conventional fault tree analysis. And, we propose the evaluation method of the imprecision of top/basic events and possibility importances of basic events.

Nowadays in offshore industry there are emerging hazards with vague property such as act of terrorism, act of war, unforeseen natural disasters such as tsunami, etc. Therefore industry professionals such as offshore energy insurers, safety engineers and risk managers in order to determine the failure rates and frequencies for the potential hazards where there is no data available, they need to use an appropriate method to overcome this difficulty. Furthermore in conventional risk based analysis models such as when using a fault tree analysis, hazards with vague properties are normally waived and ignored. In other word in previous situations only a traditional probability based fault tree analysis could be implemented. To overcome this shortcoming fuzzy set theory is applied to fault tree analysis to combine the known and unknown data in which the pre-combined result will be determined under a fuzzy environment. This has been fulfilled by integration of a generic bow-tie based risk analysis model into the risk assessment phase of the Risk Management (RM) cycles as a backbone of the phase. For this reason Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Event Tree Analysis (ETA) are used to analyse one of the significant risk factors associated in offshore terminals. This process will eventually help the insurers and risk managers in marine and offshore industries to investigate the potential hazards more in detail if there is vagueness. For this purpose a case study of offshore terminal while coinciding with the nature of the Caspian Sea was decided to be examined.

공정의 위험성 평가를 위한 이상트리 작성은 많은 시간과 인력을 요하는 작업으로 대규모 화학공장에 적용하기가 매우 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 화학공정의 이상트리 합성을 위해서, 공정변수간의 인과관계를 나타내는 부호 유향그래프로 발생 가능한 모든 공정이상과 원인들을 표현하고, 부호 유향그래프상에 존재하는 경로특성에 따라 일반 조작자와 루프 조작자를 정의하여 이상사건의 원인을 탐색할 때 해당하는 경로의 특성에 맞는 조작자로 대치함으로써 이상트리를 자동합성하였다.

The application of fault tree technique to the analysis of compressor failure is considered. The techniques involve the decomposition of the system into a form of fault tree where certain basic events lead to a specified top event which signifies the total failure of the system. In this paper, fault trees are made by using fault train of screw type air compressor failure. The fault trees are used to obtain minimal cut sets from the modes of system failure and, hence the system failure rate for the top event can be calculated. The method of constructing fault trees and the subsequent estimation of reliability of the system is illustrated through compressor failure. It is proved that FTA is efficient to investigate the compressor failure modes and diagnose system.

폴트 트리 분석(Fault Tree Analysis)은 산업계에서 가장 널리 사용되는 안전성 분석 기법 중의 하나이다. 하지만, 이 기법은 보통 수작업으로 이루어지며, 분석 결과를 체계적이고 자동적으로 검증할 수 있는 방법이 없다는 약점을 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 모델 체커인 UPPAAL을 이용하여 안전성이 중요한 소프트웨어의 요구 사항들을 정형 명세하고, 수작업으로 찬성된 폴트 트리의 정확성을 검증하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 제안된 방법을 유용성을 확인하기 위해서 월성 원자력 발전소의 비상 정지 소프트웨어(Wolsung SDS2)에서 사용된 기능 요구 사항들을 예제로서 사용하였다. 폴트 트리는 월성 SDS2에 대한 전문적인 지식을 지니고 폴트 트리를 이용한 안전성 분석을 여러 번 수행해 본 경험이 있는 대학원생들에 의해 작성되었다. 기능 요구 사항들은 UPPAAL의 입력으로서 사용되기 위해서 시제 오토마타의 형태로 수작업으로 변환되었으며, 이 폴트 트리의 정확성을 검증하기 위해서 모델 체킹을 사용하였다 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 월성 SDS2 예제에 적용해 본 결과, 수작업으로 작성된 폴트 트리에 존재하는 오류를 찾을 수 있었으며, 이러한 작업을 통하여 제안된 방법이 폴트 트리 분석에 대한 신뢰도를 높이는데 유용함을 발견하였다.

The application of fault tree technique to the analysis of compressor failure is considered. The techniques involve the decomposition of the system into a logic diagram or fault tree in whichcertain basic or primary events lead to a specified top event which signifiss the total failure of the system. The fault trees are used to obtain miniumal cut sets from whichthe modes of system failure and, hence the reliability for the top event can be calculated. The method of constructing fault trees and the subsequent estimation of reliability of the system is illustrated through a compressor failure. FTA is roved to be efficient to investigate the compressor fault train.
