The reactor noise analysis was performed by the cross correlation method using two detectors to determine the dynamic stability and the system parameter of TRIGA Mark-II reactor under critical and subcritical conditions. The a values turned out to be 46.67 and 70.04 respectively at zero power and full power under critical condition, while 79.47 and 97.59 respectively at the safety rod dropping and the regulating rod dropping under subcritical condition. Prompt neutron life time of TRIGA Mark-II reactor measured 107 and 160 $\mu$sec, and shut down margin was -10.03$\times$10-4 at the safety rod dropping and -29-43$\times$10-4 at the regulating rod dropping CDC 3100/MSOS digital computer, HITACHI 505 Analog computer, and preamplifier, bandpass filter, FM modulator or demodulator designed for this specific purpose, were employed for the present investigation.

System-Integrated Modular Advanced Reactor (SMART), where major primary components such as modular helical steam generator and self regulating pressurizer are integrated into reactor vessel, is currently under development. The pressurizer is designed to control the primary pressure mainly with partial pressure of nitrogen gas and to maintain the fluid temperature as low as possible for the purpose of minimizing steam contribution. The steam generator (SG) is designed to produce super-heated steam inside tube at power operation. Because the in-vessel pressurizer and in-vessel SG are classified as the characteristic components of SMART, it is important to perform a steady state calculation of these components in order to evaluate the adoption of these components. A steady state analysis of the in-vessel pressurizer and in-vessel SG has been performed under normal power operation and the results show an acceptable performance of the components.

Switched Reluctance Motors(SRMs) have a considerable inherent torque ripple due to the driving characteristics of pulse current waveform and the nonlinear variation inductance profile. This paper describes a current shape characteristics to effect a torque ripple reduction, and one pulse mode switching control method is proposed to minimize torque ripple of a switched reluctance motor regardless of speed and load condition by regulating tow parameters, such as, advance angle and exciting voltage. The experiments are performed to verify the capability of proposed switching method on 6/4 salient type SRM.

This paper proposes a novel control method of voltage type current-controlled reactive/harmonic compensator. The proposed method does not rely on the explicit computation of load power, but indirectly controls the compensation current by regulating dc link voltage of the converter. It is shown that the system can be modeled as a simple linear system that facilitates an analytical approach to the system characteristics. With the model, the effects of the controller gains on the dynamic and steady state response of the system are investigated. Experimental results show that the proposed control method works well in spite of the simplicity of control circuitry.

Digital simulation algorithms and program for multimachine dynamic stability have been developed which represent the effects of machines much more complety than have been available previously. Emphasis is given to the savings of the memory spaces required, thus making it possible to use a small computer with limited capacity of core storage (without auxiliary storage). Both d- and q- aris quantities are fully represented, and the speed-governing and voltage-regulating system available are ertensive, thus allowing a very close approximation to any physical system. Facilities for dynamic and nonlinear loads are also included. The computational algorithms and program developed have been shown to be extensive and complete, and are very desirable features minimizing memory spaces for stability calculations. The capabilities have been demonstrated by several case studies for an actual power system of 44 generators, 22 loads and 33 buses. About 13-K words of memory spaces have been required for the case studies on the basis of two words per real variable and a word per integer variable.

For a power source of usual electronic devices such as PDA, smart phone, UPS and electric vehicle, the battery made of serially connected multiple cells is generally used. In this case, if there are some unbalanced among cell voltages, the total lifetime and the total capacity of the battery are limited to a lower value. To maintain a balanced condition in cells, an effective method of regulating the cell voltage in indispensable. In this paper introduced a method for battery balancing system using dissipation in the resistance.

This paper proposed a control strategy for flywheel energy/recovery system with induction machine. The system is based on a vector controlled induction machine driving a flywheel and address the problem of regulating the DC-Link system voltage against input power shut-down. And we proposed the method to damp the oscillation of DC-Link. Experimental results are presented which verify the performance of the strategy.

This paper considers the problem of regulating the output voltage of a current doubler rectified asymmetric half-bridge (CDRAHB) DC/DC converter via fuzzy integral control. First, we model the dynamic characteristics of the CDRAHB converter with the state-space averaging method, and after introducing an additional integral state of the output regulation error, we obtain the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model for the augmented system. Second, the concept of parallel distributed compensation is applied to the design of the TS fuzzy integral controller, in which the state feedback gains are obtained by solving the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, numerical simulations of the considered design method are compared to those of the conventional method, in which a compensated error amplifier is designed for the stability of the feedback control loop.

Feasibility study of burn-up analysis and monitoring using delayed fast neutrons was investigated at Missouri University of Science and Technology Reactor (MSTR). Burnt and fresh fuel elements were used to collect delayed fast neutron data for different power levels. Total reactivity varied depending on the burn-up rate of fuel elements for each core configuration. The regulating rod worth was 2.07E-04 𝚫k/k/in and 1.95E-04 𝚫k/k/in for T121 and T122 core configurations at 11 inch, respectively. Delayed fast neutron spectrum of F1 (burnt) and F16 (fresh) fuel elements were analyzed further, and a strong correlation was observed between delayed fast neutron emission and burn-up. According to the analyzed peaks in burnt and fresh fuels, reactor power dependency was observed and it was determined that delayed neutron provided more reliable results at reactor powers of 50 kW and above.

The objective of this study is to develop short-term prevention measures for minimizing possible human error in nuclear power facilities. To accomplish this objective, a group of subject matter experts (SMEs) were formed, which is consisting of those from regulatory bodies, academia, industries and research institutes. Prevention measures were established for urgent execution in nuclear power facilities on a short-term basis. This study suggests short-term measures for reducing human error on three different areas; (1) strengthening worker management, (2) enhancing workplace environments and working methods, and (3) improving the technologies regulating human factors. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Science and Technology, these short-term measures will be pursued and implemented systematically by utility and regulatory agencies. The details of prevention measures are presented and discussed.
