This study presents prediction of maximum fly ash conveying capacity of fly ash system in a power plant. The mixture ratio and pressure drop characteristics of air-fly ash flow in piping system are not well understood due to the complexity of particle motion mechanism. In this paper, the researcher investigated the optimum mixture ratio when the pressure drop of fly ash conveying system is equal to maximum static pressure of displacement fly ash transport blower and the capacity of fly ash transport according to the optimum mixture ratio by experimenting the fly ash conveying system of domestic D coal thermal power plants, which is currently in operation. The experiment results showed that the maximum fly ash conveying capacity of fly ash system were founded under the condition of maximum air volume 5,040 m3/h, static pressure of trip condition 1,163 mmH2O. In addition, it was predicted maximum mixture ratio of the air-fly ash was 8.66 and maximum capacity of fly ash conveying was 52,600 kg/h under these conditions.

Due to increasing operational security demands, digital and intelligent condition monitoring of nuclear power plants is becoming more significant. However, establishing an accurate and effective anomaly detection model is still challenging. This is mainly because of data characteristics of nuclear power data, including the lack of clear class labels combined with frequent interference from outliers and anomalies. In this paper, we introduce a Transformer-based unsupervised model for anomaly detection of nuclear power data, a modified loss function based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) is applied in the model training to improve the robustness. Experimental results on simulation datasets demonstrate that the proposed Trans-MCC model achieves equivalent or superior detection performance to the baseline models, and the use of the MCC loss function is proven can obviously alleviate the negative effect of outliers and anomalies in the training procedure, the F1 score is improved by up to 0.31 compared to Trans-MSE on a specific dataset. Further studies on genuine nuclear power data have verified the model's capability to detect anomalies at an earlier stage, which is significant to condition monitoring.

This paper considers maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of lifetime distribution under stress bounded ramp tests in which the stress is increased linearly from used condition stress to the stress u, pp.r bound. The following assumptions are used: exponential lifetime distribution under a constant stress, an inverse power law relationship between stress and mean of exponential lifetime distribution, and a cumulative exposure model for the effect of changing stress. Likelihood equations for the parameters involved in the model and asymptotic distribution of the estimators are obtained, and a numerical example is given.

This paper proposes a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control algorithm for PV-Cell (Photo voltaic) based on Incremental Conductance MPPT algorithm. The ICN (Incremental Conductance method) algorithm is widely used due to the high tracking accuracy and adaptability to the rapidly changing isolation condition. In this paper, a modified ICN MPPT algorithm is proposed. This method adjusts automatically the step-size of reference to track the PV-Cell maximum power point, thus it improves the maximum power point tracking speed and accuracy.

This paper proposes a minimum power factor control for maximum efficiency operation of an induction motor, under low load condition. Minimum input or maximum efficiency operation is achived by properly adjusting the amplitude of the stator voltage, with the three phase AC voltage controller. Through the simulation, the relationships between the delay angle and input power under various load conditions are examined. Experimental results are also given, which show good coincidence with the simulation results.

This paper proposes a field weakening control method for operating an induction motor with a variable DC input voltage condition. In the variable DC voltage condition such as a battery, the field weakening method are required for the maximum output power. The conventional field weakening control methods can be used for operating the induction motor over the rated speed in a constant DC-link voltage condition. However, the conventional methods for operating the motor with the variable DC voltage is not suitable for the maximum output power. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes the optimized field weakening control method to extend the operating range of the induction motor with a rated power in a limited thermal and a wide DC input voltage conditions. The optimized d-axis and q-axis current equations are derived according to the field weakening region I and II to extend the operating region. The experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper describes to access the insulation deterioration condition of the stator windings in six high voltage motors. Nondestructive tests have been carried out on stand-still motors. These tests include ac current increase rate($\Delta$I), delta tan delta(${\Delta}tan{\delta}$), and maximum partial discharge(PD). AC current and $tan{\delta}$ were measured by Schering bridge. The measurement of PD patterns were conducted using digital partial discharge detector. PD patterns were observed treeing and internal discharges in Motor 1 and 2. The stator windings of two motors were found to be in a poor condition and their were recommended to rewind. The stator. windings of four motors were judged to be in serviceable condition.

Photovoltaic(PV) system is one of power generation systems. Solar light in PV system is like the fuel of the car. The quantity of electricity generation, therefore, is fully dependent on the available quantity of solar light on the system of each site. If a utility can predict the solar power generation on a planned site, it may be possible to set up an appropriate PV system there. It may be also possible to objectively evaluate the performances of existing solar systems. Based on the theories of astronomy and meteorology, in this paper, Perez model is simulated to estimate the available quantity of solar lights on the prevailed photovoltaic systems. Consequently the conditions for optimal power generation of each PV system can be analyzed. And the maximum quantity of power generation of each system can be also estimated by applying assumed efficiency of PV system. Perez model is simulated in this paper, and the result is compared with the data of the same model of Meteonorm. Simulated site is Daejeon, Korea with typical meteorological year(TMY) data of 1991~2010.

This paper presents the effect of a reflective force computed from a first-order-hold method on the stability of a haptic system. A haptic system is composed of a haptic device with a mass and a damper, a virtual spring, a sampler and a sample-and-hold. The boundary condition of the maximum virtual stiffness is analytically derived by using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and the condition shows that the maximum virtual stiffness is proportional to the square root of the mass and the damper of a haptic device and also is inversely proportional to the sampling time to the power of three over two. The effectiveness of the derived condition is evaluated by the simulation. When the reflective forces are computed by using the first-order-hold method, the maximum available stiffness to guarantee the stability is increased several hundred times as large as when the zero-order-hold method is applied.

Nondestructive tests are used to evaluate the insulation condition of stator windings in rotating machine. These tests included ac current, tan delta and maximum partial discharge. The insulation condition of stator windings was assessed by three test items. The stator windings were generally in good condition, wash, reimpregnation and rewind. It was confirmed that nondestructive tests were most useful method to indicate the insulation condition of stator windings.
