As the modernization of the nuclear instrumentation system progresses, research reactors have adopted digital wide-range neutron power measurement (DWRNPM) systems. These systems typically monitor the neutron flux across a range of over 10 decades. Because neutron detectors only measure the local neutron flux at their position, the local neutron flux must be converted to total reactor power through calibration, which involves mapping the local neutron flux level to a reference reactor power. Conventionally, the neutron power range is divided into smaller subranges because the neutron detector signal characteristics and the reference reactor power estimation methods are different for each subrange. Therefore, many factors should be considered when preparing the calibration procedure for DWRNPM channels. The main purpose of this work is to serve as a reference for performing the calibration of DWRNPM systems in research reactors. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the calibration of DWRNPM channels by describing the configuration of the DWRNPM system and by summarizing the theories of operation and the reference power estimation methods with their associated calibration procedure. The calibration procedure was actually performed during the commissioning of an open-pool type research reactor, and the results and experience are documented herein.

측정 명령어에 따른 정확도와 소요시간은 효율적인 Ka 밴드용 자동 시험 장비(ATE)를 구축하는데 중요한 요소이다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 RF 대표 계측기 Power Meter의 측정 명령어에 대해 연구하였다. 30 G ~ 31 GHz에서 Power Meter의 측정 명령어 FETCH와 MEASURE의 각 측정 레벨에 따른 정확도와 소요시간을 비교하였으며, -70 ~ +20 dBm 영역을 2가지 Power Sensor로 측정하였다. 측정 결과 신속하게 데이터를 불러오는 FETCH 명령어는 잡음 레벨보다 높은 선형 구간에서 비교적 정확한 데이터를 얻을 수 있었다. 가장 정확한 데이터를 얻을 수 있는 MEASURE 명령어는 FETCH 대비 시간이 많이 소요 되었으며, 최대 13.2초가 소요 되었다. 이를 통해 30 G ~ 31 GHz에서 Power Meter 측정 명령어의 정확도와 측정 소요시간을 확인할 수 있었고, 해당 연구 결과는 효율적인 Ka 밴드용 ATE를 구축하는데 기준을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objective : The present study was designed to compare Global Field Power Measurement and conventional method in P300 determination. Method : The subjects were composed of patients(N=20) with schizophrenia by DSM-IV and normal controls(N=20). The auditory event related potential P300 was measured by "oddball paradigm". P300 components were determined by Global Field Power Measurement and conventional method at 5 electrodes(Fz, Cz, Pz, $T_3$, $T_4$). Results : P300 amplitudes of patients were smaller than those of controls across all electrodes and in both methods, but there was no differential power in P300 determination between two methods. Asymmetry of auditory event-related potential P300 was not shown between patients with schizophrenia and normal controls. Conclusion : It is implicated that it depends on clinical situations and research purposes what method of P300 determination will be more appropriate for patients with schizophernia.

태양 전지, 연료 전지 및 소규모 풍력발전 등 소규모 분산 전원의 보급에 따라, 소규모 전력 수용가측의 전원 구성은 종래의 단일 전력 사업자로부터 전원을 공급 받는 방식에서 분산 전원과 연계하여 동시에 사용하는 방식으로 바뀌고 있다. 이에 따라 분산전원을 사용하는 수용가에서는 계통과 연계하여 운전되는 분산 전원에 대한 상시 감시 제어 시스템이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 감시제어 시스템을 구성하는데 필수적으로 요구되는 계통의 전압, 전류 등을 측정하기 위한 시스템을 구현하였다. 그리고 계통의 정상상태는 물론 전원 투입과 탈락 시, 부하의 급격한 증감 시 발생하는 과도현상 데이터 등을 실시간으로 계측하고, 측정된 데이터들을 여러 가지 목적으로 사용할 수 있도록 USB 통신을 이용 PC로 전송하여 저장한다. 또한 PC에 전송된 데이터를 계측기를 사용한 측정 결과와 비교하여 제작한 시스템의 신뢰성을 검증한다.

Under frequency load shedding (UFLS) is an effective way to prevent system blackout after a serious disturbance occurs in a power system. A novel centralized adaptive under frequency load shedding (AUFLS) scheme using the synchronous phase measurement unit (PMU) is proposed in this paper. Two main stages are consisted of in the developed technique. In the first stage, the active power deficit is estimated by using the simplest expression of the generator swing equation and static load model since the frequency, voltages and their rate of change can be obtained by means of measurements in real-time from various devices such as phase measurement units. In the second stage, the UFLS schemes are adapted to the estimated magnitude based on the presented model. The effectiveness of the proposed AUFLS scheme is investigated simulating different disturbance in IEEE 10-generator 39-bus New England test system.

Since the magnetic bearing system has unstability inherently it is necessary to measure the displacement for stable operation. Normally the displacement measurement is implemented by using sensors. The sensor for the displacement measurement is selected by precision, installation space, effect of magnetic field and response speed. And the cost of displacement measurement sensor also is considered. At the cost the hall effect sensor has a large advantage comparing with the others. Therefore this study concern about the basis experimental test for the displacement measurement of the magnetic bearing system that uses the hall effect sensor coupled with a tiny permanent magnet. The experimental results confirm the validity and practicability for this displacement measurement sensor.

U.S. nuclear regulatory commission(NRC) regulatory guide(RG) 1.20 requires a comprehensive vibration assessment program(CVAP) for use in verifying the structural integrity of reactor vessel internals(RVI) for flow-induced vibrations prior to commercial operation. The CVAP program consist of vibration and fatigue analysis, a vibration measurement program, an inspection program, and a correlation of their results. One of the main purposes of the analysis program is to select measurement locations, however measurement locations can not be determined by only analysis results, therefore we developed selection criteria of measurement locations for advanced power reactor 1400(APR1400) RVI CVAP, It will be used to select measurement locations and instrument types for APR1400 RVI CVAP.

The renewable resource are getting more attentions with increased concerns on the depletion of fossil fuels and several environmental issues like emission problem. Wind power is a representative option among several renewable sources and the generation capacity using wind power is being increased. However, the wind generation is so volatile on its output characteristic, so it is required to assess the grid impact of wind power generation by measuring the fluctuation effect more precisely. This paper proposes the method for measuring the generation output according to IEC 61400-21(Measurement and assessment of power quality characteristics of grid connected wind turbines) to assess the power quality of wind turbine generation. In addition, it shows an application case to a small-scale wind power generator. In the case study, it suggests a structure design of the proposed measurement instrument both on hardware and software aspects, which is composed of a remote monitoring & data analysis program and an FPGA based real-time signal processing device.

In this research, piezoelectric smart structures are applied for SEA(Statistical Energy Analysis), which is well known approach for high frequency analysis. A new input power measurement based on piezoelectric electrical power measurement is proposed and compared with the conventional method in SEA. As an example, a simple aluminum beam on which piezoelectric actuator is attached is considered. By measuring the electrical impedance and electrical current of the piezoelectric actuator, the electrical power given on the actuator is found and this is In turn converted into the mechanical energy. From the measured value of the stored energy of the beam, the Internal loss factor is calculated and this value shows a good agreement with that given by the conventional method as well as the theoretical value. To compare the coupling loss factor, L-shape beam system which consists of a aluminum beam subsystem and a steel beam subsystem coupled by three pin is taken as second example. The input power and stored energy of each subsystem are found by the proposed approach. The coupling loss factor found by the electrical input power obtained from the piezoelectric actuator exhibits similar trend to the value found by the conventional method as well as the theoretical value. In conclusion, the use of SEA for high frequency application of piezoelectric smart structures is Possible. Especially, the input power that is essential for SEA can be found accurately by measuring the electrical input power of the piezoelectric actuator.
