국내에서 개발 중인 차세대 혁신형 안전경수로인 iPOWER는 피동용융노심냉각계통의 도입을 통해 중대사고시 노심용융물을 원자로 하부에서 장기간 냉각하고 안정화시키고자 한다. 아직 피동용융노심냉각계통의 최종 설계개념이 확정되기 전이나, 원자로용기 외벽냉각을 통한 노심용융물의 노내 억류 역시 주요 중대사고 대처 전략의 하나로 검토되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발된 열수력 계통해석코드인 MARS-KS를 이용하여 원자로용기와 단열체 사이에서 형성되는 2상 자연순환 유동을 모의하였다. 냉각수의 유로를 일차원으로 모델링하고, 노심용융물의 열부하에 따른 경계조건을 정의하여 자연순환 유량을 계산하였다. 또한 냉각수의 온도 및 수위, 원자로용기 하반구 주변 기포율 및 외벽에서의 열전달모드 등 주요 열수력 변수의 과도거동을 평가하였다.

Under traditional unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) control, a UPQC series converter (SC) is mainly used to handle grid-side power quality problems while its parallel converter (PC) is mainly used to handle load-side power quality problems. The SC and PC are relatively independent. The SC is usually in standby mode and it only runs when the grid voltage abruptly changes. In this paper, novel UPQC coordinated control strategies are proposed which use the SC to share the reactive power compensation function of the PC especially without grid-side power quality problems. However, in some cases, there will be a circulating current between the SC and the PC, which will probably influence the compensation fashion, the compensation capacity, or the normal work of the UPQC. Through an active power circulation analysis, strategies with and without a circulating current are presented which fuses the reactive power allocation strategy of the SC and the PC, the composite control strategy of the SC and the compensation strategy of the DC storage unit. Both of the strategies effectively solve the SC long term idle problem, limit the influence of the circulating current, optimize all of the UPQC units and reduce the production cost. An analysis, along with simulation andexperimental results, is presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.

A thermal-hydraulic analysis is conducted on the loss-of-coolant-accident (LOCA) during shutdown operation of YGN Units 3/4. Based on the review of plant-specific characteristics of YGN Units 3/4 in design and operation, a set of analysis cases is determined, and predicted by the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code during LOCA in the hot-standby mode. The evaluated thermal-hydraulic phenomena are blowdown, break flow, inventory distribution, natural circulation, and core thermal response. The difference in thermal-hydraulic behavior of LOCA at shutolown condition from that of LOCA at full power is identified as depressurization rate, the delay in peak natural circulation timing and the loop seal clearing (LSC) timing. In addition, the effect of high pressure safety injection (HPSI) on plant response is also evaluated. The break spectrum analysis shows that the critical break size can be between 1% to 2% of cold leg area, and that the available operator action time for the Sl actuation and the margin in the peak clad temperature (PCT) could be reduced when considering uncertainties of the present RELAP5 calculation.

This paper describes the dynamical performance of a four-quadrant circulation current mode control of dc motor drive, using the controlled flywleeling technique, a four-quadrant closed-loop control drive with an inner current control loop and a speed fuzzy PI regulator is designed. The obtained computer simulation results of a dc motor drive below and above the base speed are demonstrated. These result show that compare to a conventional dual-converter-fed dc motor drive with simultaneous control, the overal system performance has been improved and also, agood stability and robstness has been achieved.

A Superconducting Fault Current Limiter is an electric power device which limits the fault current immediately in a power grid. The SFCL must be cooled to below the critical temperature of high temperature superconductor modules. In general, they are submerged in sub-cooled liquid nitrogen for their stable thermal characteristics. To cool and maintain the target temperature and pressure of the sub-cooled liquid nitrogen, the cryogenic cooling system should be designed well with a cryocooler and coolant circulation devices. The pressure of the cryostat for the SFCL should be pressurized to suppress the generation of nitrogen bubbles in quench mode of the SFCL. In this study, we tested the performance of the cooling system for the prototype 154 kV SFCL, which consist of a Stirling cryocooler, a subcooling cryostat, a pressure builder and a main cryostat for the SFCL module, to verify the design of the cooling system and the electric performance of the SFCL. The normal operation condition of the main cryostat is 71 K and 500 kPa. This paper presents tests results of the overall cooling system.

We have developed an alternating magnetic field stimulation system consisting of a switched-mode power supply and a digital control circuit which modulates a duty ratio to maintain a magnetic field intensity of a few mT even while the frequency increases up to 4 kHz with a controllable coil temperature below $30^{\circ}C$ in air. This duty ratio modulation and water circulation are advantageous for cell culture under ac-magnetic field stimulation by preventing the incubator from exceeding a cell-viable temperature of $37^{\circ}C$. Although the temperature of the coil when subjected to a sinusoidal voltage rapidly increased, that of our system modulated by the duty factor did not change. This is a potentially valuable method to investigate the effects of intermediate frequency magnetic field stimulation on biological entities such as cells, tissues and organs.

유전체 배리어 방전 플라즈마를 모사 농산물 저장시설($1.0m^3$)의 에틸렌 제거에 적용하였다. 에틸렌이 포함된 공기를 플라즈마 반응기에 유입시켜 처리한 후 다시 농산물 저장시설로 재순환하는 방식으로 시험을 수행하였다. 주요 운전변수는 방전전력, 순환기체 유량, 초기 에틸렌 농도 및 처리시간이었다. 에틸렌의 분해속도는 주로 방전전력과 처리시간에 의해 결정되었다. 다른 조건을 일정하게 유지한 상태에서 플라즈마 반응기 후단에 이산화망간 오존분해 촉매를 설치했을 경우 오존분해 촉매가 없을 때 보다 에틸렌 제거속도가 더 빨랐는데, 이 결과는 플라즈마 반응기에서 배출되는 오존이 농산물 저장시설에 유입 축적되어 에틸렌을 추가적으로 분해했기 때문이다. 에틸렌 초기 농도 50 ppm을 기준으로 하면 이를 완전히 분해하기 위한 에너지 요구량은 약 60 kJ이었다.
