PID(Proportional, Integral, Derivative) controller is the most popular process controllers in nuclear power plants. The optimized parameter setting of the process controller contributes to the stable operation and the efficiency of the operating nuclear power plants. PID parameter setting is tuned when new process control systems are installed or current process control systems are changed. When the nuclear plant is shut down, a lot of PID tuning methods such as the Trial and Error method, Ultimate Oscillation method operation, Ziegler-Nichols method, frequency method are used to tune the PID values. But inadequate PID parameter setting can be the cause of the unstable process of the operating nuclear power plant. Therefore the results of PID parameter setting should be simulated, optimized and finally verified. This paper introduces the simulation method of PID tuning to optimize the PID parameter setting and confirms them of the actual PID controller in the operating nuclear power plants. The simulation method provides the accurate process modeling and optimized PID parameter setting of the multi-loop control process in particular.

In order to realize the multi-objective control of single-input multi-output nonlinear differential algebraic system (NDAS) and to improve the dynamic characteristics and static accuracy, a design method of nonlinear control with multi-objective feedback (NCMOF) is proposed, the principium of this method to arrange system poles, as well as its nature to coordinate dynamic characteristics and static accuracy of the system are analyzed in detail. Through NCMOF design method, the multi-objective control of the system is transformed into linear space, and then it is effectively controlled under the nonlinear feedback control law, the problem to balance all control objectives caused by less input and more output of the system thus is solved. Applying NCMOF design method to generator excitation system, the nonlinear excitation control law with terminal voltage, active power and rotor speed as objective outputs is designed. Simulation results show that NCMOF can not only improve the dynamic characteristics of generator, but also damp the mechanical oscillation of a generator in transient process. Moreover, NCMOF can control the terminal voltage of the generator to the setting value with no static error under typical disturbances.

This paper presents steering system requirements to ensure the stabilized lateral control of autonomous driving vehicles. The two main objectives of a lateral controller in autonomous vehicles are maintenance of vehicle stability and tracking of the desired path. Even if the desired steering angle is immediately determined by the upper level controller, the overall controller performance is greatly influenced by the specification of steering system actuators. Since one of the major inescapable traits that affects controller performance is the time delay of the steering actuator, our work is mainly focused on finding adequate parameters of high level control algorithm to compensate these response characteristics and guarantee vehicle stability. Actual vehicle steering angle response was obtained with Electric Power Steering (EPS) actuator test subject to various longitudinal velocity. Steering input and output response analysis was performed via MATLAB system identification toolbox. The use of system identification is advantageous since the transfer function of the system is conveniently obtained compared with methods that require actual mathematical modeling of the system. Simulation results of full vehicle model suggest that the obtained tuning parameter yields reduced oscillation and lateral error compared with other cases, thus enhancing path tracking performance.

본 연구에서는 네온 변압기를 세라믹 계열의 압전 변압기를 이용한 인버터식 네온관용 변압기를 제안하였다 인버터식 네온관용 압전 변압기의 주요 구성은 정류부, 발진부, 공진형 하프브릿지 인버터회로부 및 압전 변압기부로 구성 제작하였다. 네온관용 변압기는 지금까지 개발된 압전 변압기 용량 보다 대부분 큰 용량을 필요로 하고 있기 때문에 압전 변압기의 용량 증가를 위해 병렬 구동하였다 이때 병렬로 연결된 단층형 압전 변압기간 내부 임피던스 값의 불일치로 발생하는 불평형 전류를 최소화 하기 위하여 압전 변압기별로 LC 필터값을 분석 부착하여 전압의 왜곡율을 최소화 하여 안정된 정현파 출력을 구현하였다. 그리고 이를 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 실험과 실제 네온관 부착 실험을 통하여 전력 밀도와 절연 레벨이 높고, 누설 자속이 없는 소형, 경량화된, 압전 변압기를 적용한 인버터식 네온관용 변압기가 기존의 자기식 네온관용 변압기 보다 우수함을 비교 입증하였다.

CSPACE (Core meltdown, Safety and Performance Analysis CodE for nuclear power plants) for a simulation of severe accident progression in a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) is developed by coupling of verified system thermal hydraulic code of SPACE (Safety and Performance Analysis CodE for nuclear power plants) and core damage progression code of COMPASS (Core Meltdown Progression Accident Simulation Software). SPACE is responsible for the description of fluid state in nuclear system nodes, while COMPASS is responsible for the prediction of thermal and mechanical responses of core fuels and reactor vessel heat structures. New heat transfer models to each phase of the fluid, flow blockage, corium behavior in the lower head are added to COMPASS. Then, an interface module for the data transfer between two codes was developed to enable coupling. An implicit coupling scheme of wall heat transfer was applied to prevent fluid temperature oscillation. To validate the performance of newly developed code CSPACE, we analyzed typical severe accident scenarios for OPR1000 (Optimized Power Reactor 1000), which were initiated from large break loss of coolant accident, small break loss of coolant accident, and station black out accident. The results including thermal hydraulic behavior of RCS, core damage progression, hydrogen generation, corium behavior in the lower head, reactor vessel failure were reasonable and consistent. We demonstrate that CSPACE provides a good platform for the prediction of severe accident progression by detailed review of analysis results and a qualitative comparison with the results of previous MELCOR analysis.

This paper deals with the frequency sensing methods at HVDC system. The objects of frequency information in HVDC system areto fire a valve and to control a frequency of AC network. Conventionally, there are two methods to measure a frequency of AC network. The first method is to draw out from the synchronous machine and the second method is from AC network. Two methods have advantages and disadvantage each other. For the extreme case of a receiving system of zero inertia (no generation), synchronous machine is essential. In this situation, the frequency information received from the synchronous machine shaft. However, the speed of synchronous machine is oscillated when a disturbance in AC network occurs, and HVDC may be oscillated due to an oscillation speed. To solve this drawback, in this paper, new frequency sensing method is proposed. A proposed method that is use a modified curve-fitting algorithm, has a robust characteristics against a harmonics and unbalanced faults. Consequently, A proposed method is verified by PSCAD/EMTDC Program and experimental test.

본 논문에서는 압력예측기법과 직접 순시토크 제어기법을 통한 유압펌프용 SRM의 압력제어 구동시스템을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 유압 펌프 시스템은 유압센서의 응답성으로 인하여 제어시스템의 시지연이 비교적 길어지게 되며, 이러한 시간지연은 PI 또는 PID 제어 구조에서 장시간의 진동과 불안정화를 만들기 쉽다. 본 논문에서는 시간 지연문제를 해결하고 리플이 없는 압력제어를 위하여 스미스 예측기(simth predictor)를 통한 지연보상과 직접 순시토크제어기법(Direct Instantaneous Torque, 이하 DITC)을 적용하였다. 제안된 제어 방식은 펌프와 센서간의 기구적 문제에 의한 지연문제 해결과 안정성을 확보하고, 펌프 압력제어의 동특성을 향상시키며 전류(轉流, commutation) 구간에서 균일한 토크를 발생시켜 토크 리플을 억제하기 위함이다. 제안된 제어방식은 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 효용성을 검증하였다.

This paper describes a compact and novel wireless vital sign sensor at 2.4 GHz that can detect heartbeat and respiration signals. The oscillator circuit incorporates a planar resonator, which functions as a series feedback element as well as a near-field radiator. The periodic movement of a human body during aerobic exercise could cause an input impedance variation of the radiator within near-field range. This variation results in a corresponding change in the oscillation frequency and this change has been utilized for the sensing of human vital signs. In addition, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter and power detector have been used to increase the system sensitivity and to transform the frequency variation into a voltage waveform. The experimental results show that the proposed sensor placed 20 mm away from a human body can detect the vital signs very accurately.

A CMOS relaxation oscillator, with high robustness over process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations, is designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. The proposed oscillator, consisting of full-differential charge-discharge timing circuit and switched-capacitor based voltage-to-current conversion, could be expanded to a simple open-loop frequency synthesizer (FS) with output frequency digitally tuned. Experimental results show that the proposed oscillator conducts subcarrier generation for frequency-modulated ultra-wideband (FM-UWB) transmitters with triangular amplitude distortion less than 1%, and achieves frequency deviation less than 8% under PVT and phase noise of -112 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. Under oscillation frequency of 10.5 MHz, the presented design has the relative FS error less than 2% for subcarrier generation and the power dissipation of 0.6 mW from a 1.8 V supply.

The purpose of this paper is to develop systematic analysis and automatic tuning rule of PID controller for industry servo applications. Considering the coupling of inner current control loop and speed loop delay, the target plant fit into second-order plus time delay model. Based on PID controller design for high-order plus known/unknown time delay plant model, some formulars are provided for the control gain calculation and system-based theoretical analysis is developed, and it also allows an automatic controller setup to benefit the inexperienced user. In addition, the proposed design rule gives uniformly satisfactory performance and the motor speed stays on a desired response curve with minimal oscillation and settling time. This approach can be applicable in conjunction with the cascaded control loop which is widely used in practice.
