Plant life cycle consists of design, construction, certification, operation, and maintenance phases, and various and enormous plant life cycle data is involved in each phase. Plant life cycle data should be linked with each other based on its proper relationships, so that plant operators can access necessary plant data during their regular operations and maintenance works. Currently, the relationships of plant life cycle data may not be defined explicitly, or they are scattered over several plant information systems. This paper proposes high level design of a plant life cycle data management system based on pre-defined plant life cycle database design. ISO-15926 standard is adapted for the database design. User-interface designs of the plant life cycle data management system are explained based on analysis of plant owners' requirements. A conceptual design of the database is also described with the entity-relationship diagram.

Operation conditions of a reheat cycle gas turbine for a combined cycle power plant was analyzed. Based on measured performance parameters of the gas turbine, a performance analysis program predicted component characteristic parameters such as compressor air flow, compressor efficiency, efficiencies of both the high and low pressure turbines, and coolant flows. The predicted air flow and its variation with the inlet guide vane setting were sufficiently accurate. The compressor running characteristic in terms of the relations between air flow, pressure ratio and efficiency was presented. The variations of the efficiencies of both the high and low pressure turbines were also presented. Almost constant flow functions of both turbines were predicted. The current methodology and obtained data can be utilized for performance diagnosis.

Home automation networks are good environments for merging sensor networks and consumer electronics technologies. It is very important to reduce the energy consumption of each sensor node because sensor nodes operate with limited power based on a battery that cannot be easily replaced. One of the primary mechanisms for achieving low energy operation in energy-constrained wireless sensor networks is the duty-cycle operation, but this operation has several problems. For example, unnecessary energy consumption occurs during synchronization between transmission schedules and sleep schedules. In addition, a low duty-cycle usually causes more performance degradation, if the network becomes congested. Therefore, an appropriate control scheme is required to solve these problems. In this paper, we propose UDC (Unsynchronized Duty-cycle Control), which prevents energy waste caused by unnecessary preamble transmission and avoids congestion using duty-cycle adjustment. In addition, the scheme adjusts the starting point of the duty-cycle in order to reduce sleep delay. Our simulation results show that UDC improves the reliability and energy efficiency while reducing the end-to-end delay of the unsynchronized duty-cycled MAC (Media Access Control) protocol in sensor-based home automation networks.

In this study, LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) on 'Saemangum CSO Project' was carried out to evaluate environmental impact which occurred during the construction and operation periods and the potential environmental impact reduction was analyzed by comparing production and reduction level of pollution loads. LCA was conducted out according to the procedure of ISO14040 which suggested Goal and Scope Definition, Life Cycle Inventory Analysis, Life Cycle Impact Assessment and Interpretation. In the Goal and Scope Definition, the functional unit was 1 m3 of CSO, the system boundary was construction and operation phases, and the operation period was 20 years. For the data collection and inventory analysis, input energies and materials from civil, architecture, mechanical and electric fields are collected from design sheet but the landscape architecture field is excepted. LCIA(Life Cycle Impact Assessment) was performed following the procedure of Eco-Labelling Type III under 6 categories which were resource depletion, eutrophication, global warming, ozone-layer destruction, and photochemical oxide formation. In the result of LCA, 83.4% of environmental impact occurred in the construction phase and 16.6% in the operation phase. Especially 78% of environmental impact occurred in civil works. The Global warming category showed the highest contribution level in the environmental impact categories. For the analysis on potential environmental impact reduction, the reduction and increased of environmental impact which occurred on construction and operation phases were compared. In the case of considering only the operation phase, the result of the comparison showed that 78% of environmental impact is reduced. On the other hand, when considering both the construction and operation phases, 50% of environmental impact is increase. Therefore, this study showed that eco-friendly material and construction method should be used for reduction of environmental impact during life cycle, and it is strongly necessary to develop technology and skills to reduce environmental impact such as renewable energies.

본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC의 고성능 잔여 데이터 복호기를 위해 최적화된 하드웨어 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 하드웨어 구조는 새로운 역영자화 수식들을 적용한 공통 연산기를 갖는 병렬 역양자화기와 병렬 역변환기를 통합한 하드웨어 구조이다. 새로운 역양자화 수식들은 기존 수식에서 나눗셈 연산을 제거하여 연산량 및 처리시간을 감소시키고 새로운 수식들을 처리하기 위해 곱셈기와 왼쪽 쉬프터로 구성된 하나의 공통 연산기를 사용한다. 역양자화기는 4개의 공통 연산기를 병렬처리하기 때문에 $4{\times}4$ 블록의 역양자화 수행 사이클 수를 1 사이클로 감소시키고, 제안하는 역변환기는 8개의 역변환 연산기를 사용하여 $4{\times}4$ 블록의 역변환 수행 사이클 수를 1 사이클로 감소시킨다. 또한 제안하는 구조는 역양자화 연산과 역변환 연산을 동시에 수행하기 때문에 하나의 $4{\times}4$ 블록을 처리하는 데 1 사이클이 소요되어 수행 사이클 수가 감소한다. 제안하는 구조를 Magnachip 0.18um CMOS 공정 라이브러리를 이용하여 합성한 결과 게이트 수는 21.9k, critical path delay는 5.5ns이고, 최대 동작 주파수는 181MHz이다. 최대 동작 주파수에서 제안하는 구조의 throughput은 2.89Gpixels/sec이다. 표준 참조 소프트웨어 JM 9.4에서 추출한 데이터를 이용하여 성능을 측정한 결과 제안하는 구조의 수행 사이클 수가 기존 구조들 대비 88.5% 이상 향상되었다.

Due to large demand, the increase of fault current has caused the capacity of power machines in power grid to increase. Among several countermeasures, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been noticed as one of the promising countermeasures to solve these problems. However, in spite of excellent current limiting performances of the SFCL, the application of SFCL to power system has been delayed due to both the limited space for the SFCL's installation and its longer recovery time after the fault removal. In order to solve these problems, a hybrid type SFCL was developed. In this paper, we studied the operation characteristics of the hybrid SFCL with first half cycle non-limiting operation by modelling using PSCAD/EMTDC and experiment. It was shown through the simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC and the simulated experiment that the fault current limiting and the fast recovery operations of the hybrid SFCL with the first half cycle non-limiting operation were achieved.

This study aimed to evaluate SBR operation cycle for removing the high-concentration organic matter of distillery wastewater in the ginseng processing plant. The experiment was conducted with the use of a laboratory scale SBR reactor and distillery wastewater as the influent. The results indicated an increase in pH from 4.08 to 7.59 of distillery wastewater after aeration for 2 hours. Also, the optimum SBR operation cycle for the removal of organic matter and nitrogen was 2 hr of aeration and 6 hr of anaerobic conditions. Adjustment of proper pH through aeration time is most critical in the SBR operation for distillery wastewater treatment. In this study, we presented an efficient method for distillery wastewater treatment.

The electrons and holes trapped in the tunneling oxide and interface-states generated in the Si/SiO$_2$ interface during program/erase (P/E) operations are known to cause reliability problems which can deteriorate the cell performance and cause the V$_{th}$ window close. This deterioration is caused by the accumulation of electrons and holes trapped in the oxide near the drain and source side after each P/E cycle. we propose three new erase schemes to improve the cell's endurance characteristics: (1)adding a Reverse soft program cycle after the source erase operation, (2)adding a detrapping cycle after the source erase operation, (3)adding a convergence cycle after the source erase operation. (3) is the most effective performance among the three erase schemes have been implemented and shown to significantly reduce the V$_{th}$ window close problem. And we are able to design the reliable periperal circuit of flash memory by using the (3).(3).
