Issues and themes concerned with nuclear power plant uprating are examined. Attention is brought to the fact that many candidate nuclear power plants for uprating have anyway been operated below their rated power for a significant part of their operating life. The key issues remain safety and reliability in operation at all times, irrespective of the nuclear power plant's chronological or design age or power rating. The effects of power uprates are discussed in terms of material aspects and expected demands on the systems, structures and components. The impact on operation and maintenance methods is indicated in terms of changes to the ageing surveillance programmes. Attention is brought to the necessity checking or revising operator actions after power up-rating has been implemented.

본 논문에서는 다중 프로세서 구조에서 캐쉬 메모리 동기화 시 생기는 전력 오버헤드를 줄이기 위한 애니캐스트 방식의 이벤트 드리븐(Event Driven) 동기화 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 동기화 방법은 기본적인 동기화 프로토콜에서 SHI(Snoop Hit Invalidate) 또는 SHR(Snoop Hit Read) 발생 시, 락 권한 획득에 실패 하였을 때 발생하는 불필요한 폴링 동작을 줄여 줌으로서 버스 대역폭이 낭비되는 것을 막아주고, 통신에 의한 전력 오버헤드를 감소시켜준다. 더 나아가 브로드캐스트 방식의 이벤트 드리븐 동기화 방법에 비해 불필요한 절전 상태 변화로 인하여 생기는 트랜지션 전력을 줄여 전력 소모를 더욱 감소시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과 기존 스핀-락 방식에 비해 15.3% 정도의 에너지 절감효과를 얻을 수 있었고 브로드캐스트 방식에 비해서 4.7%의 에너지 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 제안하는 동기화 방법은 저전력 다중 프로세서 시스템에 적합한 방식이라고 할 수 있다.

Elemental data was collected for agricultural biomass such as pruned branches with respect to unit area production and heating values. The results indicated that higher heating values for the biomass was comparable to those of woody biomass. Approximate estimations of power generation from biomass showed that over 100kW power plants could be installed in some districts.

Recently, study on the improvement of combustion performance for the diesel engine by using the impinging spray in the combustion chamber has been actively studied. The purpose of this study is to examine the variation of exhaust emission between the trial engine with impinging plate and the prototype engine in accordance with change of fuel injection timing and fuel injection pressure. The concentration of nitrogen oxide of trial engine decreased more than 50% compared to prototype engine. However, smoke of trial engine indicated very high concentration compared to prototype engine. The effect of fuel injection timing on the nitrogen oxide and smoke indicated different results, that is, the concentration of nitrogen oxide decreased as the degree of fuel injection start become slower, whereas the concentration of smoke decreased as the degree of fuel injection start become faster.

A study of the propeny and performance effect of Indolene - Methanol Plus High Alcolhols (MPHA) has been completed. This study invested the measurement of fuel properties and performance parameters. The fuel properties investigated are distillation characteristics, heating valuer flash point, specific gravity and water tolerance. The performance parameters measured are minimum advance for best torque (MBT) spark timing, power output. The alcohol concentration was varied from 0 to 100 percent by volume in clear Indolene. The measurement of fuel properties indicated that, in general, Indolene - MPHA blends have higher water tolerance, similar specific gravity, similar flash point and different distillation characteristics compared to Indolene - Methanol blends. The performance parameters were measured using a single cylinder spark ignition engine at different compression ratios. The results of the performance measurements indicated that Indolene - MPHA blends have a higher MBT spark advance, similar power output.

Next generation wireless receivers demand low computational complexity algorithms with high computing power in order to perform fast signal detections and error estimations. Several signal detection and estimation algorithms have been proposed for next generation wireless receivers which are primarily designed to provide reasonable performance in terms of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and bit error rate (BER). However, none of them have been chosen for direct implementation as they offer high computational complexity with relatively lower computing power. This paper presents a low-complexity power-efficient algorithm that improves the computing power and provides relatively faster signal detection for next generation wireless multiuser receivers. Measurement results of the proposed algorithm are provided and the overall system performance is indicated by BER and the computational complexity. Finally, in order to verify the low-complexity of the proposed algorithm we also present a formal mathematical proof.

Recently, due to increasing the application of power electronic equipment, harmonics generated from the non-liner load are fairly produced. Harmonics can cause a variety of problems such as the overheating of distribution transformer, the breakdown of device and communication interference. Interest about power quality decline of power system is very increased. In this paper, we are measured the harmonic voltage and current o( power system to analyze harmonic characteristics, and it is analyzed Total Harmonic Distortion(THD). Also, we Ere modeled power system using PSCAD/EMTDC. And it is analyzed harmonic voltage and current in steady-state. The study results have been indicated the utility about harmonics analysis and modelling for power system.

During these 2-3 years, there were many big and small power system black-out including america-canada black out(2003.08). It is indicated that cause of accident is not only obsolete equipment but also dispatcher's improper reaction. therefore, it raised its head for the importance of dispatcher training. Korea power exchange(KPX) which is splitted fromKEPCO as part of reconstruction of power industry(2001.04), is in chagre of stable and efficient power system operation. also, KPX created 'dispatcher training team' which is benchmarked from foreign advanced Power corporation. In this paper, it will be introduced KPX's dispacher training program and various training procedure.

We study on the power of local autonomous fire fighting in Korea. Chapter I which sets out purpose, scope and method, is followed by Chapter Ⅱ , dealing largely with the organization, man-power, equipment, activites of local fire fighting administration and the fire fighting environment. Chapter III made a comparative study on the power of autonomous fire fighting, local budget , fire fighting activities, fire present conditions. It is followed by concluding abservation made in Chapter Ⅳ and Chapter V. We indicated a few disputed points on the power of local autonomous fire fighting and suggested several alternatives to improve our fire fighting administration system. The alternatives suggested are as followes : (1) Reinforcement of the man-power, (2) Regulation of the standard fire fighting power, (3) Improvement of the using on fire fighting facilities tax and state finance, (4) Aplication of the local borrowings, (5) Tax reduction and exemption on the fire fighting equip-ment investment, and so forth.

The objective of this study is an understanding of the effect of inlet flow angle on the output power performance of a Francis hydraulic turbine, An optimum induced angle at the inlet of the turbine is one of the most important design parameters to have the best performance of the turbine at a given operating condition, In general. rotating speed of the turbine is varied with the change of water mass flowrate in a volute, The induced angle of the inlet water should be properly adjusted to the operating condition to have maximum energy conversion efficiency of the turbine, In this study. a numerical simulation was conducted to have detail understanding of the flow phenomenon in the flow path and output power of the model Francis turbine. The indicated power produced by the model turbine at a given operating condition was found numerically and compared to the brake power of the turbine measured by experiment at KIER. From comparison of two results, turbine efficiency or energy conversion efficiency of the model turbine was estimated. From the study, it was found that the rotating power of the turbine linearly increased with the rotating speed. It means that the higher volume flow rate supplied. the bigger torque on the turbine shaft generated. The maximum brake efficiency of the turbine is around 46$\%$ at 35 degree of induced angle. The difference between numerical and experimental output of the model turbine is defined as mechanical efficiency. The maximum mechanical efficiency of the turbine is around 93$\%$ at 25$\∼$30 degree of induced angle.
