In this study, the core dynamics of a PWR reactor is identified online by a recursive least-squares method. Based on the identified reactor model consisting of the control rod position and the core average coolant temperature, the future average coolant temperature is predicted. A model predictive control method is applied to designing an automatic controller for the thermal power control of PWR reactors. The basic concept of the model predictive control is to solve an optimization problem for a finite future at current time and to implement as the current control input only the first optimal control input among the solutions of the finite time steps. At the next time step, this procedure for solving the optimization problem is repeated. The objectives of the proposed model predictive controller are to minimize both the difference between the predicted core coolant temperature and the desired temperature, as well as minimizing the variation of the control rod positions. In addition, the objectives are subject to the maximum and minimum control rod positions as well as the maximum control rod speed. Therefore, a genetic algorithm that is appropriate for the accomplishment of multiple objectives is utilized in order to optimize the model predictive controller. A three-dimensional nuclear reactor analysis code, MASTER that was developed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) , is used to verify the proposed controller for a nuclear reactor. From the results of a numerical simulation that was carried out in order to verify the performance of the proposed controller with a $5\%/min$ ramp increase or decrease of a desired load and a $10\%$ step increase or decrease (which were design requirements), it was found that the nuclear power level controlled by the proposed controller could track the desired power level very well.

In this work, a PWR reactor core dynamics is identified online by a recursive least squares method. Based on this identified reactor model consisting of the control rod position and the core average coolant temperature, the future average coolant temperature is predicted. A model predictive control method is applied to design an automatic controller for thermal power control in PWRs. The basic concept of the model predictive control is to solve an optimization problem for a finite future at current time and to implement as the current control input only the first optimal control input among the solutions of the finite time steps. At the next time step, the procedure to solve the optimization problem is then repeated. The objectives of the proposed model predictive controller are to minimize both the difference between the predicted core coolant temperature and the desired one, and the variation of the control rod positions. Also, the objectives are subject to maximum and minimum control rod positions and maximum control rod speed. Therefore, the genetic algorithm that is appropriate to accomplish multiple objectives is used to optimize the model predictive controller. A 3-dimensional nuclear reactor analysis code, MASTER that was developed by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), is used to verify the proposed controller for a nuclear reactor. From results of numerical simulation to check the performance of the proposed controller at the 5%/min ramp increase or decrease of a desired load and its 10% step increase or decrease which are design requirements, it was found that the nuclear power level controlled by the proposed controller could track the desired power level very well.

연안으로 입사해 들어오는 파랑은 월파형 파랑제어구조물에 의해 증폭, 월파되어 구조물 배후의 유수지에 위치 에너지로 저장될 수 있으며, 수두차의 형태로 저장된 위치에너지는 초저낙차 수차 터빈을 통해 전기에너지로 변환될 수 있다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 월파형 파력발전에 있어서 주어진 입사파 조건에 대해 최대 월파 유량을 획득하는 월파형 파랑제어구조물의 최적 형상을 도출하기 위한 실험적 연구이다. 월파형 파랑제어구조물의 형상 도출을 위한 수조 실험은 삼차원 조파 수조에서 이루어졌으며, 평면 파랑 집중 형상을 가진 삼차원 구조물의 형상은 5가지의 종류로 제작되었다. 파랑제어구조물은 신과 홍(2005)에서 제안한 월파형 파랑제어구조물의 이차원 단면 형상을 토대로 수로폭 및 수렴각을 가진 삼차원 형상으로 확장한 것이다. 본 삼차원 월파실험에서는 20개의 입사파 조건과 각각의 파에 대한 $0^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$의 상대 입사각을 부여하여 계측된 월파량을 분석하였다.

차량과 무선 액세스망과의 연동을 통한 새롭고 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 차세대 텔레매틱스 기술이 새로운 유망산업으로 소개되고 있다. 초기의 텔레매틱스 기술은 단순히 차량내에서 전자제어장치간의 제어, 모니터링, 내비게이션 등이 주였지만, 최근에는 외부의 무선 액세스망과의 연결을 통하여 모바일 인터넷 서비스, 위치정보 서비스, 긴급구조 서비스, 멀티미디어 서비스 등을 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 서비스의 활성화와 효율성을 제공하기 위하여 차량내 텔레매틱스 모바일 플랫폼 구조를 제안한다.

A method of estimating mechanical parameters of the intact human muscle is proposed; force responses to ramp length perturbation of the muscle both at the resting and constant contracting states are compared with those of the model. The response during the short period (50ms) after the onset of the perturbation is used for the estimation. Time course of the length perturbation which could lead to the accurate estimation is determined by model analysis. Availability of this method is showed by applying it to the human thumb flexor muscle.

In this paper, a decentralized multilevel-adaptive controller for a boiler-turbine system is designed by using multiple model adaptive method. It is applied to the drum type boiler-turbine system which is simplified from Boryung T/P #1,2 model. A linearlized model is decomposed into three subsystems by means of linear transformation. Then the DMC based on such subsystem is designed and a Multiple Model Adaptive Control(MMAC) scheme is applied for the purpose of the good tracking to variable load demands of the thermal power plant. The good performance of the designed controller is shown by simulations in various conditions that have the large step and ramp change of power demamd.

This paper, a new simple controller operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) for Boost power factor collection converter is introduced. The duty ratios are obtained by comparisons of a sensed signal from inductor current and a negative ramp carrier waveform in each switching period. By using the proposed controller, input voltage sensing, error amplifier in the current feedback loop, and analog multiplier／divider are not required, then, the control circuit implementation is very simple. To verify the proposed controller, the circuit simulation for Boost power factor correction converter was applied. For the results, the input current waveform was shaped to be closely sinusoidal, implying low THD.

The desin and implementation of a CMOS analog integrated circuit that provides dual-mode modulations, PWM for active clamp reset converter and PFM for LLC resonant converter, is described. The proposed controller is capable of implementing programmable soft start and current-mode control with compensating ramp for PWM and frequency shifting soft start for PFM. Also it provides delay time for both modes. PWM mode is implemented by active clamp reset converter and PFM mode is implemented by LLC resonant convereter, respectively. The chip is fabricated using the 0.6um high voltage CMOS process.
