  • 초고속 인터넷 서비스는 정보화 시대에 살고 있는 우리에게 없어서는 안 되는 존재가 되고 있다. 이에 맞추어 KT는 기존의 가입자 동선 케이블을 이용하여 초고속 인터넷 서비스를 제공하기 위해 서비스 속도 향상과 음영지역 해소를 위한 다양한 해결방안을 모색하여왔다. 그 결과로써. 옥외 통신장비를 수용하기 위한 방안으로 광전송장비를 지하에 수용할 수 있는 CEV의 필요성이 대두되었으며 CEV의 개발이 완료되는 시점이 다가옴에 따라 KT는 언제 어디서든 고품질의 인터넷 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 인프라를 갖추게 되었다.

  • 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.

  • Power plant start-up is a complicate process involving hundreds of operations that should be performed either automatically or manually. Several major operations should be proceeded in parallel and each major operation is again broken down into detailed operations that must be carried out in a strict sequence. Even though most of the operations are automated, still substantial portions of the operations are carried out manually and the operational status should be monitored by the crew members, which are quite stressful tasks to be performed in real time. In this paper, a data structure called an Event Sequence Monitoring Graph(ESMG) is proposed for monitoring a sequence of events involved in the power plant start-up process. The ESMG is currently being applied to a thermal power plant with a rated output of 500MW. An application example is shown with the boiler feed water pump system start-up process, which exhibits a good potential for future applications.

  • Nuclear power plant (NPP) operations with multiple objectives and devices are still performed manually by operators despite the potential for human error. These operations could be automated to reduce the burden on operators; however, classical approaches may not be suitable for these multi-objective tasks. An alternative approach is deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which has been successful in automating various complex tasks and has been applied in automation of certain operations in NPPs. But despite the recent progress, previous studies using DRL for NPP operations have limitations to handle complex multi-objective operations with multiple devices efficiently. This study proposes a novel DRL-based approach that addresses these limitations by employing a continuous action space and straightforward binary rewards supported by the adoption of a soft actor-critic and hindsight experience replay. The feasibility of the proposed approach was evaluated for controlling the pressure and volume of the reactor coolant while heating the coolant during NPP startup. The results show that the proposed approach can train the agent with a proper strategy for effectively achieving multiple objectives through the control of multiple devices. Moreover, hands-on testing results demonstrate that the trained agent is capable of handling untrained objectives, such as cooldown, with substantial success.

  • In this paper, we presents a systematic methodology for minimizing tardiness and maximizing resource utilization in a multi-plant supply chain. A methodology is represented to a multi-objective mathematical program model. The model offers flexible and efficient multi-plant planning and scheduling. Also, We develope a realistic and flexible planning model using the genetic algorithm to solve the model.

  • Given the flow matrix, plant size (rectangle shape) and department sizes, the algorithm in this paper provides the plant layout with rectilinear distance measure. To construct automated facility design, eigenvector approach is employed. A branch and bound computer code developed by Tillinghast is modified to find the feasible fits of departments without shape distortion (see [1])in the plant rectangle. The computational results compared with CRAFT are shown.
