  • This paper presents a novel SOFLIC(self organizing fuzzy logic intelligent controller) for reactor rod control system in nuclear power plant. The output of fuzzy controller is gener ated by using two signal : the error between reference and average temperature, and the error between reference and neutron flux-converted temperatures. Flexibility of the controller is enhanced by using self-organizing feature and the controller respond to variation of system parameter with more precision. performances of the SOFLIC and PID are simulated with the model developed for a nuclear power plant. The SOFLIC is superior to PID : SOFLIC provides more rapid load following capability. more robustiness for variation in process dynamics and minimization of engineer's mistakes in controller design.

  • Because of its predictability of the energy cycle and huge scale power output, the ocean energy from tidal power utilization has always received attention as a great energy source, even though its development cost, including the embankment construction, is so much higher than that of any other energy source. Nevertheless, nowadays many projects are being planned on account of institutional support from the government and the recent advance of construction technology. In Korea, the new industry field operating and managing the tidal power plant has already opened. But we are facing a number of problems for optimal operation of tidal power plant that are a lack of operation experience and a skill of professional management and others. This paper suggests a novel way to determine the starting head of power generation by generating power comparison method For this new method, the paper discusses many factors including changing the volume of the basin, the number of operating turbines and gates and forecasting the tidal amplitude and the characteristic curve of turbine and gate. Finally we verified that it can increase about 2% an annual power generation compared with the conventional method using the original operational function made in the plant design process.

  • The valve used in nuclear power plant must be qualified but the limitation of the test facility leads to use the numerical analysis. The flow coefficient is calculated with the consideration of the pressure, velocity and geometry. And the flow coefficient is the important physical property which is prepared using experiment or analysis by valve manufacturer. In this study, the analysis model was made according to ISA 75.02.01 and the mass flow rate and pressure drop ratio was calculated. The model of the expansion factor was applied to the simulation result and the pressure drop ratio at the start of the choked flow in the valve was found. With the simulation result, the consideration was performed that the expansion factor is the important physical property to the system engineer in addition to the flow coefficient.

  • Almost every industrial plant or building has their own boiler systems, so boilers are often called "kinds of social infrastructures"In Korea, We have many indistinct problems on efficient operations of industrial boiler systems. In this paper, to elevate thermal operation efficiency and to diminish air pollutions of the boilers, especially in urban area, at present, "The muliple installation systems of small type once through boiler(gas fired)" are suggested.

  • The nuclear power plant(NPP) construction is a mammoth project, which requires a huge construction budget and the long construction duration of about 7 years. Recently there is a trend to shorten the construction period, to save the construction cost and to ensure the competitiveness through adopting the open top construction method. In this method, the major equipment are moved into the building through its top, and the internal works of the reactor building are being in process without installation of a dome roof.

  • Roof gardens/Rooftop farm are most often found in urban environments. Plants have the ability to reduce the overall heat absorption of the building which then reduces energy consumption. Plant surfaces however, as a result of transpiration do not rise more than $4-5^{\circ}C$ above the ambient and are sometimes cooler. As Urban agriculture in an accessible rooftop farm, space becomes available for localized small-scale urban agriculture, a source of local food production. An urban garden can supplement the diets of the community it feeds with fresh produce and provide a tangible tie to food production.

  • What I would like to expect about this mater is that Korea would develop unique techniques of the waste water which are most suitable to social and other relevant conditions of that country, not entirely following models of sewerage construction of U.S.A. or European countries or Japan. Some cements will be made in the followings: (1) The investigation for the diffusion of seperated simple public sewerag, not the large scale sewerage treatment plant. (2) The plan for non-mixed treatment of lining waste water and industrial waste water. (3) Suggestion for "a man of ability" at the university education to cultivate a technologist of facilities and the elemental watchman at the sewerage maintenance.
