The operational cost for maintaining the superconductivity of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables needs to be reduced for feasible operation. It depends on factors such as AC loss and heat transfer from the outside. Effective operation requires design optimization and suitable operational conditions. Generally, it is known that critical currents increase and AC losses decrease as the operational temperature of liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) is lowered. However, the cryo-cooler consumes more power to lower the temperature. To determine the effective operational temperature of the HTS cable while considering the critical current and AC loss, critical currents of the HTS cable conductor were measured under various temperature conditions using sub-cooled $LN_2$ by Stirling cryo-cooler. Next, AC losses were measured under the same conditions and their variations were analyzed. We used the results to select suitable operating conditions while considering the cryo-cooler's power consumption. We then recommended the effective operating temperature for the HTS cable system installed in an actual power grid in KEPCO's 154/22.9 kV transformer substation.

The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is planning the construction of the KIJANG Research Reactor (KJRR) for stable supply of ⁹⁹Mo. The Fission ⁹⁹Mo Production Process (FMPP) of KJRR produces solid waste such as spent uranium cake and alumina cake, and liquid waste in the form of intermediate level liquid waste (ILLW) and low level liquid waste (LLLW). This study thus established the operating range and optimum operating conditions for the cementation of ILLW from FMPP. It also evaluated whether cement waste form samples produced under optimum operational conditions satisfy the waste acceptance criteria (WAC) of a disposal facility in Korea (Korea radioactive waste agency, KORAD). Considering economic feasibility and safety, optimum operational conditions were achieved at a w/c ratio of 0.55, and the corresponding salt content was 5.71 wt%. The cement waste form samples prepared under optimum operational conditions were found to satisfy KORAD's WAC when tested for structural stability and leachability. The results indicate that the proposed cementation conditions for the disposal of ILLW from FMMP can be effectively applied to KJRR's disposal facility.

A dimensioning system in a manufacturing process is often complex, especially when a lot of operations are involved in the process. Determination of operational dimensions and tolerances becomes even more complicated if there exist inconsistencies between operational and design relationships among operational dimensions in machining. This chart furnishes a record of the relationships in an easy-to-grasp form, proves that sufficient stock for a cut is available even under adverse conditions, and also proves that separate operations, when taken together, will harmonize as desired. In this paper, various existing roles of the chart have been extended to an operational routing sheet by generating it automatically, providing machining conditions, and verifying operational tolerances.

To determine operational requirement, the environmental condition for an equipment must be investigated, and to certify equipment's normalized operation, appropriate test must be carried out under the considered environmental condition. The actual environmental conditions to which equipment is likely to be exposed are normally complex and will comprise a number of environmental factors and corresponding parameters, When defining the environmental conditions for a certain application it is, therefore, necessary to list the factors involved and select the appropriate severity. The operational environment is structured in two separate such as requirements, guidance and test specifications. For the preparation to determine operational requirement, operational environment of railway signalling equipment is investigated.

This paper provides a guideline for specifying the operational compliance characteristics considering the location of compliance center and the grasp points in assembly tasks using robot hands. Through various assembly tasks, we analyze the conditions of the achievable operational stiffness matrix with respect to the location of compliance center and the grasp points. Also, we show that some of coupling stiffness elements in the operational space cannot be planned arbitrarily. As a result it is concluded that the location of compliance center on the grasped object and the grasp points play important roles for successful assembly tasks and also the operational stiffness matrix should be carefully specified by considering those conditions.

Shrinkage of injection molded parts is different form operational conditions of injection molding such as injection temperature, injection pressure and mold temperature, and mold design such as gate size. It is also various for different resins which have crystalline structure or not. In this study part shrinkage was investigated for various operational condition and resins; PBT for crystalline polymer, and PC and PMMA for amorphous polymer was used in experiment. Crystalline polymer shows higher part shrinkage by about three times than amorphous polymer. Part shrinkage increased as injection temperature and mold temperature increased and injection pressure decreased. Part shrinkage decreased as gate size increased since the pressure delivery is mush easier for large gate size. Part shrinkage according to the gate location was that the position in the part with close to the gate showed large shrinkage and this phenomenon might be occurred by residual stress.

The dynamic characteristics including natural frequencies and excitation frequencies are evaluated for a small 10 kW vertical axis wind turbine. Acceleration responses were measured at 12 distributed locations for impact vibration tests, ambient vibration tests during non-operational and operational conditions, and braking tests during operational condition. The natural frequencies for the lowest 2 bending modes and the first torsional mode were estimated and also the excitation frequencies, i.e. 1P, 2P, 4P, were also estimated according to the rotational speed using the responses under operational conditions (i.e. power generation condition).

TBM penetration rate is a function of intact rock properties, rock mass conditions and TBM operational parameters. Machine rate of penetrationcan be predicted by knowledge of the ground conditions and its effects on machine performance. The variation of TBM operational parameters such as penetration rate and thrust plays an important role in its performance. This study presents the results of the analysis on the TBM penetration rates in schistose rock types present along the alignment of Golab tunnel based on the analysis of a TBM performance database established for every stroke through different schistose rock types. The results of the analysis are compared to the results of some empirical and theoretical predictive models such as NTH and QTBM. Additional analysis was performed to find the optimum thrust and revolution per minute values for different schistose rock types.

착륙장치 시스템의 올림/내림 작동특성은 다양한 설계변수, 운용조건 및 환경조건에 따라 변화한다. 최소한의 작동공간 및 성능 요구조건을 만족하기 위하여, 착륙장치 시스템은 관련계통의 영향성을 고려하여 기구학적/동역학적 작동해석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 T-50 착륙장치를 모델로 ADAMS를 이용하여 착륙장치 작동에 따른 동적거동을 해석할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 설계변수 설정, 유압 압력/유량의 관계 정의, 운동방정식을 유도하여 공력하중, 기동하중, 온도의 영향에 대한 착륙장치 및 덮개문의 정상/비상 작동 동적거동 해석결과를 제시하고 분석하였다. 이러한 해석결과를 바탕으로 향후 새로운 착륙장치 개발시 범용적인 해석이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 지상/비행시험의 문제점 발생시 고장탐구 해결에 활용할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a DC microgrid operational strategy and control method for improved service reliability. The objective is to supply power to as many non-critical loads as possible, while providing an uninterrupted power supply to critical loads. The DC bus signaling method, in which DC voltage is an information carrier, is employed to implement the operational strategy in a decentralized manner. During grid-connected operation, a grid-tied converter balances the power of the microgrid by controlling the DC voltage. All loads are connected to the microgrid, and operate normally. During islanded operation, distributed generators (DGs), a backup generator, or an energy storage system balances the power. However, some non-critical loads may be disconnected from the microgrid to ensure the uninterrupted power supply to critical loads. For enhanced service reliability, disconnected loads can be automatically reconnected if certain conditions are satisfied. Control rules are proposed for all devices, and detailed microgrid operational modes and transition conditions are then discussed. Additionally, methods to determine control parameter settings are proposed. PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed operational strategy and control method.
