In this study, Event Type Analysis System (ETAS) is developed for the accident evaluation in nuclear power plant. The ETAS system can be used in supporting regulator and/or operator under event situation in nuclear power plants. The ETAS system can categorize the all transient events to 3 categories such as Down-2000, Down-2173, and Slow Fluctuation. We develop the program structure for ETAS system and web-based ETAS system. The ETAS system will be used as sub module of Knowledge-Based Event Evaluation Network (K-EvENT) which is developing for the against the accident in nuclear power plants.

In a large scale robot system, one of important problems is software integration, which involves three elements: modularity, reusability and stability. By these issues, the degree of convenience of system integration, its required time and the performance of the system stability can be determined. In addition, the convenience of system management can be determined by the degree of completion of service components. This paper explains the template based service component (TBSC) for the integration of service components in networked robot. The important characteristics of TBSC are automatical execution and recovery process by a PnP supporting robot framework, which helps a system operator to manage a robot system comfortably. For easy implementation and system stability, we provide a service component creator and a verification tool to developers.

Real Time Simulation (RTS) has long been used in the nuclear power industry for operator training and engineering purposes. And, Online Simulation (OLS) is based on RTS and with connection to the plant information system to acquire the measurement data in real time for calibrating the simulation models and following plant operation, for the purposes of analyzing plant events and providing indicative signs of malfunctioning. An OLS system has been developed to support PWR operations for CPR1000 plants. The OLS system provides graphical user interface (GUI) for operators to monitor critical plant operations for preventing faulty operation or analyzing plant events. Functionalities of the OLS system are depicted through the maneuvering of the GUI for various OLS functional modules in the system.

In this paper, we proposed an electromyography(EMG) based control method of a virtual robot arm as an adaptive human supporting system or remote control system, which consists of an shoulder control part, elbow control part, and wrist control part. The system uses four surface electrodes to acquire the EMG signal from operator. It is shown from the experiments that the EMG patterns during arm motions can be classified sufficiently by using SOM and LVQ. The interface system based on PC environment is constructed to 3-D graphic user interface(GUI) program. Experimental results show that proposed method obtains approximately 94 percent of success in classification.

Method of designing and implementing the XML Gateway is proposed for supporting the data movement between the Legacy databases. XML technologies, Oracle XML Utility, and JDeveloper are used for this purpose. The data in Legacy database are extracted by XSQL pages, parsed, transformed by XSL, and finally saved by XMLHttprequest object of XSQL servlet. With the help of the implemented system, an assigned operator does not have to handle the database with the SQL＊Plus tools. In addition, the data movement is easily carried out by using the familiar Web interface offered by system.

The boundary evaluation technique for Boolean operation on non-manifold models which is regarded as the most popular and powerful method to create and modify 3-D CAD models has been developed. This technique adopted the concept of Merge and Selection in which the CSG tree for Boolean operation can be edited quickly and easily. In this method, the merged set which contains complete information about primitive models involved is created by merging primitives one by one, then the alive entities are selected following the given CSG tree. This technique can support the hybrid representation of B-rep(Boundary Representation) and CSG(Constructive Solid Geometry) tree in a unified non-manifold model data structure, and expected to be used as a basic method for many modeling problems such as data representation of form features, and the interference between them, and data representation of conceptual models in design process, etc.

최근 우리나라는 선박 종류별 해양사고 발생률 중 100톤 미만의 어선 및 소형선박이 차지하는 비중이 72%에 달하고 있다. 그 원인을 살펴보면, 경계, 침로선정, 선위확인등 항해일반원칙의 미준수가 상당부분 차지하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 비교적 고령화되고 운항지식이 충분하지 못한 소형선박의 항해사에게 안전한 최적항로를 안내해주는 지능형 항해지원시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 항로계획 프로그램과 항로전송부, GPS Plotter로 구성되어있다. 지능형 항해지원시간템을 통해 임의의 위치에서 목표지점까지 최적항로를 퍼지 언어표현으로 안내해주는 시스템을 개발하여 그 유효성을 확인하였다.

Most publications confirm that an ecological interface is a very efficient tool to supporting operators in recognition of complex and unusual situations and in decision-making. The present article describes the experience of implementation of an ecological interface concept for visualization of material balance in a drum separator of RBMK-type NPPs. Functional analysis of the domain area was carried out and revealed main factors and contributors to the balance. The proposed ecological display was designed to facilitate execution of the most complicated cognitive operations, such as comparison, summarizing, prediction, etc. The experimental series carried out at NPPs demonstrated considerable reduction of operators' mental load, time of reaction, and error rate.

The adoption of expert systems mainly as operator supporting systems is becoming increasingly popular as the control algorithms of system become more and more sophisticated and complicated. The verification phase of knowledge base is an important part for developing reliable expert systems, especially in nuclear industry. Although several strategies or tools have been developed to perform potential error checking, they often neglect the reliability of verification methods. Because a Petri net provides a uniform mathematical formalization of knowledge base, it has been employed for knowledge base verification. In this work, we devise and suggest an automated tool, called COKEP(Checker Of Knowledge base using Extended Petri net), for detecting incorrectness, inconsistency, and incompletensess in a knowledge base. The scope of the verification problem is expanded to chained errors, unlike previous studies that assume error incidence to be limited to rule pairs only. In addition, we consider certainty factor in checking, because most of knowledge bases have certainty factors.

The present study examines an efficient congestion management system compatible with the evolving environment. The key is to build an information model shared and exchanged for marketbased solutions to alleviate congestion. Traditional methods for congestion management can be classified into two categories, i.e., the centralized scheme and the decentralized scheme, depending on the extent to which the independent system operator (ISO) is involved in market participants' (MPs) activities. Although the centralized scheme is more appropriate for providing reliable system operation and relieving congestion in near real-time, the decentralized scheme is preferred for supporting efficient market operation. The minimum set of information between the ISO and MPs for decentralized scheme is identified: i) congestion-based zone, ii) Power Transfer Distribution Factors, and iii) transmission congestion cost. The mathematical modeling of the proposed information is expressed, considering its process of making effective use of information. Numerical analysis is conducted to demonstrate both cost minimization from the MP perspective and the reliability enhancement from the ISO perspective based on the proposed information exchange scheme.
