Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is an effective method of power generation, which has a small impact on the environment and can be utilized semi-permanently. This paper describes a dynamic model for a pilot OTEC plant built by the Institute of Ocean Energy, Saga University, Japan. This plant is based on Uehara cycle, in which binary mixtures of ammonia and water is used as the working fluid. Some simulation results attained by this model and the analysis of the results are presented. The developed computer simulation can be used to actual practice effectively, such as stable control in a steady operation, optimal determination of the plant specifications for a higher thermal efficiency and evaluation of the economic prospects and off-line training for the operators of OTEC plant.

In this paper we deal with a design of the evaluation system to assess the vehicle operational control algorithm for Personal Rapid Transit(PRT) system. PRT system is different from the conventional rail traffic system in such that the station is off-line so as to guarantee a very short headway. In this study we propose an evaluation system to assess the performance of the proposed vehicle control algorithm. The evaluation system is composed of virtual vehicles, central control system, virtual wayside facilities, monitoring equipments. The virtual vehicles are made up by the laptop computers and the central control system employs Power PC process of Motorola Inc. The wayside facilities are implemented by employing the PXI module of the National Instruments Corporation. In order to test the proposed evaluation system a test algorithm is used, which has been simulated in the combined simulation system between Labview Simulation Interface Toolkit and Matlab/Simulink.

Thyristor devices have 3-dimensional complicated structure and were sensitive to temperature characteristics. Therefore, it was difficult to optimize thyristor devices design. We have to consider many design parameter to characterize, and trade-off relations. The important parameters to design thyristor devices are cathode structure, effective line width, cathode-emitter shunt structure, gate structure, doping profile and carrier lifetime. So, we must consider that these design parameters were not acted separately. However, there are many difficulties to determine optimized design parameters by experiment. So, We used specific design software to design thyristor devices, and estimated the thyristor devices characteristics.

The Korean tilting train called Hanvit 200 was launched recently in Korea to improve train speed up to 200 km/h at conventional lines. In this paper, we propose a HILS system for simulations of mechanical braking of the Hanvit 200 train using actual ASCU, actual dump valves, Simulink, dSPACE board, and ControlDesk software. In the proposed HILS system, dynamics of wheelsets, bogies and car body, brake force generation, creep force generations are realized via mathematical models, and anti-skid logic is realized using actual components. The validity of the proposed HILS system is demonstrated via comparing results of real-time and off-line simulations.

This paper analyzes the THD(Total Harmonics Distortion) according to output power fluctuation of photovoltaic(PV) systems using real time simulator. For being close to reality, the PV system including inverter and MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) which composed of closed-loop using real-time simulator are modeled. The change of irradiance and temperature of PV module is modeled to consider the change of weather. The various simulations according to the weather conditions are performed and THD is calculated at each condition. In this paper, the results by off-line simulation are compared with the ones of real time simulation.

신속한 생산 대응력을 가지기 위해 산업 현장 여러 곳에서 로봇을 도입하고 있는 상황에서 로봇의 설치와 변경의 비용이 문제가 되고 있다. 최근에는 이를 해결하기 위해 컴퓨터 상에서 가상 작업장을 구축하고 시뮬레이션을 하면서 여러 검증을 해 볼 수 있는 OLP(Off-Line Programming) 방식이 많이 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 OLP시스템을 구축하는 데 있어서 중요한 역할을 하는 시뮬레이션 언어를 설계하고, 이 언어의 컴파일러를 구현했다. 또한, 컴파일의 결과물을 실행할 수 있는 가상머신을 구현했다.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid target tracking algorithm which combine the conventional Kalman filter algorithm and the fuzzy neural network. Conventional methods are degraded in the presence of uncertanties and the environmental noise. These problems can be resolved by the proposed method. The training data for the proposed target tracker is obtained by the off-line simulation. Unlike other target trackers usging fuzzy inference system, our method can be easily integrated into the existing system. A numerical simulation is included to show the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper presents a simulation model based on support vector regression (SVR) for flicker estimation emitted from the wind turbines. For the SVR training, the voltage variation and flicker level are selected as input and output, respectively. Through the off-line training, the relationship between the voltage variation and flicker level is derived. The required amount of data for the flicker measurement is decreased and its proessing time is also reduced. The simulation and experiment results have shown that the flicker estimation is performed accurately.

A STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM) is a shunt connected voltage source converter (VSC) based FACTS controller using Gate Turn Off (GTO) power semiconductor devices employed for reactive power control. The operation principal is similar to that of a synchronous condenser. A typical application of a STATCOM is voltage regulation at the midpoint of a long transmission line for the enhancement of power transfer capability and/or reactive power control at the load centre. This paper presents the modeling of STATCOM with twenty four pulse three level VSC and Type-1 controller to regulate the reactive current or the bus voltage. The performance is evaluated by transient simulation. It is observed that, the STATCOM shows excellent transient response to step change in the reactive current reference. While the eigenvalue analysis is based on D-Q model, the transient simulation is based on both D-Q and 3 phase models of STATCOM (which considers switching action of VSC).
