This paper presents a basic interposing logic program to control nuclear power plant. In this paper we select a target control loop among the whole interposing modules, develop logic algorithm and functional software to compose target control loop. After that we carry out V&V(Verification and Validation) into the developed logic program to improve quality and reliability.

This paper focuses on systematic design about the membership ranges of the main design factors such as control error, control error rate, and sampling time for the fuzzy logic control of the variable speed drive refrigeration cycle. The upper and the lowest limit of the membership ranges are set up from the data of static characteristics obtained by experiments. Three kinds of membership ranges on the control error and the control error rate are tested by experiments. Especially, an effect of sampling time on control performance is also investigated in the same way. Experimental data showed the control error rate and the sampling time strongly effected on the control performance of the refrigeration cycle with a variable speed drive.

The use of boost chopper in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) aims to capture maximum power at any wind speed condition. It is reached by adjusting the duty cycle of boost chopper. In this paper, fuzzy logic algorithm is used to find the duty cycle value which yields the maximum power output. This control scheme is verified by PSIM simulation. Another MPPT method is also simulated as a comparison.

The paper presents implementation of a PV fuzzy logic power tracking controller. Using maximum power point tracker with the intermediate converter can increase the system efficiency by matching the PV system to the load. A new fuzzy MPPT is proposed, where fuzzy inputs parameters are dp/dI and the last incremental of duty of duty ratio $L{\delta}D$, and the output is the new incremental value $(new{\delta}D)$ according to the maximum power point under various illumination levels.

This paper focuses on a new optimization technique of a fuzzy logic based proportional integral (FLPI) load frequency controller by the multiple tabu search (MTS) algorithm. Conventionally, the membership functions and control rules of fuzzy logic control are obtained by trial and error method or experiences of designers. To overcome this problem, the MTS algorithm is proposed to simultaneously tune proportional integral gains, the membership functions and control rules of a FLPI load frequency controller in order to minimize the frequency deviations of the interconnected power system against load disturbances. The MTS algorithm introduces additional techniques for improvement of the search process such as initialization, adaptive search, multiple searches, crossover and restart process. Simulation results explicitly show that the performance of the proposed FLPI controller is superior to conventional PI and FLPI controllers in terms of overshoot and settling time. Furthermore, the robustness of the proposed FLPI controller under variation of system parameters and load change are higher than that of conventional PI and FLPI controllers.

In order to respond to the demand for flexible operation of thermal power generation, development of natural sliding pressure operation that minimizes throttle loss by opening the turbine control valve 100% and maximize power generation efficiency in conjunction with ESS in order to quickly respond to fluctuations in the system frequency is required. The logic development of natural sliding pressure operation with ESS was developed to modify the existing logic at the power plant's top-level control logic such as the unit master, the boiler master and the turbine master. Cooperative control algorithms that complement the advantages and disadvantages of ESS operation (quick response, limited capacity) and power plant operation (slow response, continuous operation) not only improve efficiency when applied to actual power plants, but also respond quickly and flexibly to load demands to ensure system stability.

Rapid population growth with high living standards and high electronics use for personal comfort has raised the electricity demand exponentially. To fulfill this elevated demand, conventional energy sources are shifting towards low production cost and long term usable alternative energy sources. Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are becoming popular as stand-alone power systems for providing electricity in remote areas due to advancement in renewable energy technologies and subsequent rise in prices of petroleum products. Wind and solar power are considered feasible replacement to fossil fuels as the prediction of the fuel shortage in the near future, forced all operators involved in energy production to explore this new and clean source of power. Presented paper proposes fuzzy logic based Energy Management System (EMS) for Wind Turbine (WT), Photo Voltaic (PV) and Diesel Generator (DG) hybrid micro-grid configuration. Battery backup system is introduced for worst environmental conditions or high load demands. Dump load along with dump load controller is implemented for over voltage and over speed protection. Fuzzy logic based supervisory control system performs the power flow control between different scenarios such as battery charging, battery backup, dump load activation and DG backup in most intellectual way.

Maximum power consumption was up to 6,228kW in the summer of 2007 due to steady development of industry as well as increased demand of individual. Twenty fossil-Fired Thermal Power Plant for 500MW were underconstructed at present. KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute) manage 'Development of Advanced Fossil-Fired Thermal Power Generation System' project to construct high efficient power plant of 1000MW capacity for preparing increased demand of power. Design of control logic and data sampling were explained and high efficient control logic was simulated in detail in 'The Development of Next Generation Power Plant Instrument and Control System'(sub-project of 'Development of Advanced Fossil-Fired Thermal Power Generation System' project).

This paper introduces a high-speed low-power self-timed current-mode logic (STCML) that reduces both dynamic and leakage power dissipation. STCML significantly reduces the leakage portion of the power consumption using a pulse-mode control for shorting the virtual ground node. The proposed logic style also minimizes the dynamic portion of the power consumption due to short-circuit current by employing an enhanced self-timing buffer. Comparison results using a 80-nm CMOS technology show that STCML achieves 26 times reduction on leakage power consumption and 27% reduction on dynamic power consumption as compared to the conventional current-mode logic. They also indicate that up to 59% reduction on leakage power consumption compared to differential cascode voltage switch logic (DCVS).

Because the existing control system has been operating for about 20 years, it is necessary to upgrade the system for stable and efficient operation. But, there is a difficulty in maintenance by difference of manufacturer of each main control systems for boiler, turbine and generator. This developed IMCS(Integrated Monitoring and Control System) consists of more than 10,000 inputs and outputs for large scale thermal power plant. This paper consists of the development journey of IMCS MBC(mill and burner control) ; core binary protection & monitoring logic including prevention circuit of boiler explosion & implosion. In this project, the IMCS for boiler, turbine and generator was developed on basis of one communications platform. In this paper, the whole journey of development of IMCS MBC is dealt with designing software and hardware, coding application software, and validating software and hardware.
