This study uses a level selection algorithm with fixed sampling frequency for modular multilevel converter (MMC) systems. Theoretically, the proposed method increases the level infinitely while the sampling time remains the same. The proposed method called cluster stream buffer (CSB) consists of several clusters, wherein each cluster is composed of 32 submodules that depend on the level of the submodules in the MMC system. To increase the level of the MMC system, additional clusters are used, and the sampling time between clusters is determined from the sampling time between levels needed for utilizing the entire level from the MMC system. This method is crucial in the control of MMC-type HVDC systems because it improves scalability and precision.

The tail probability of a function of a multivariate random variable is not easy to estimate by the crude Monte Carlo simulation. When the occurrence of the function value over a threshold is rare, the accurate estimation of the corresponding probability requires a huge number of samples. When the explicit form of the cumulative distribution function of each component of the variable is known, the inverse transform likelihood ratio method is directly applicable scheme to estimate the tail probability efficiently. The method is a type of the importance sampling and its efficiency depends on the selection of the importance sampling distribution. When the cumulative distribution of the multivariate random variable is represented by a copula and its marginal distributions, we develop an iterative algorithm to find the optimal importance sampling distribution, and show the convergence of the algorithm. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with the crude Monte Carlo simulation numerically.

The Improved Deterministic Truncation of Monte Carlo (iDTMC) is a powerful acceleration and variance reduction scheme in the Monte Carlo analysis. The concept of the iDTMC method and correlated sampling-based real variance estimation are briefly introduced. Moreover, the application of the iterative scheme to the correlated sampling is discussed. The iDTMC method is utilized in a 3-dimensional small modular reactor (SMR) model problem. The real variances of burnup-dependent criticality and power distribution are evaluated and compared with the ones obtained from 30 independent iDTMC calculations. The impact of the inactive cycles on the correlated sampling is also evaluated to investigate the consistency of the correlated sample scheme. In addition, numerical performances and sensitivity analysis on the real variance estimation are performed in view of the figure of merit of the iDTMC method. The numerical results show that the correlated sampling accurately estimates the real variances with high computational efficiencies.

Simple random sampling과 P.P.S. sampling의 효율을 비교하기 위하여 오스트리아 Salzburg 부근의 침엽수 장령림 임분에서 임목조사를 실시하였다. 축적 1:10,000의 흑백 적외선 사진을 판독하여, 조사 임지를 제지, 유령림, 너도 밤나무 장령림, 침엽수 장령림으로 구분하고, 침엽수 장령림 내에서 random sampling에 의한 99개의 표본점과 P.P.S. sampling에 의한 75개의 표본점을 흉고 단면적 제수 4인 Relascope에 의하여 야외 조사한 자료를 비교한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) random sampling에 의한 임분 재적의 추정치는 $422.0m^3/ha$이었고, P.P.S. sampling에 의해서는 $433.5m^3/ha$이었으나 이들간의 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 2) 5 %의 허용 오차내에서는 P.P.S. sampling에 의하여는 170점, random sampling에 의하여는 237점이 필요하였다. 3) P.P.S. sampling은 random sampling에 비하여 야외 조사 시간을 17% 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The wind-speeds among geographically close wind-farms have high correlations seasonally. This paper presents a novel wind-speed sampling method which sincerely reflects the correlation among wind-speeds of different wind-farms. In the proposed method, the wind-speed samples are generated through the statistical data analysis of the measured past wind-speed data and are adequate to be applied to generation adequacy assessment based on random sampling. In the proposed method, the specific probability distribution need not to be assumed and sufficiently accurate wind-speed samples can be generated based only on the measured past data. The proposed method is applied to the two wind-farm problem to show its applicability.

This paper presents a new uniform sampling method for two-dimensional contour. The proposed method improves the uniformity of contour sampling in terms of the interpolation of the corner points extracted from chain codes. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed through the length estimation and shape recognition of two-dimensional contour. The experimental results show the significant improvement over the conventional method.

A new in-line method for sampling neutrons emitted in (${\alpha}$,n) reactions based on alpha particle source information has been developed for continuous-energy Monte Carlo simulations. The new method uses a continuous-slowing-down model coupled with (${\alpha}$,n) cross section data to precompute the expected neutron yield over the alpha particle lifetime. This eliminates the complexity and computational cost associated with explicit charged particle transport. When combined with an integrated alpha particle decay source sampling capability, the proposed method provides an efficient and accurate method for sampling (${\alpha}$,n) neutrons based solely on nuclide inventories in the problem, with no additional user input required. Results from several example calculations show that the proposed method reproduces the (${\alpha}$,n) neutron yields and energy spectra from reference experiments and calculations.

Importance sampling methods have been developed with the aim of reducing the computational costs inherent in Monte Carlo methods. This study proposes a new algorithm called the adaptive kernel method which combines and modifies some of the concepts from adaptive sampling and the simple kernel method to evaluate the structural reliability of time variant problems. The essence of the resulting algorithm is to select an appropriate starting point from which the importance sampling density can be generated efficiently. Numerical results show that the method is unbiased and substantially increases the efficiency over other methods.

품질관리를 위한 샘플링검사 방식은 산업계에서 많이 제안되어왔다. 하지만 시간을 염두에 둔 품질인 신뢰성에 대한 샘플링검사 방식은 상대적으로 덜 제시되었으며, 일목요연하게 요약한 문헌도 그리 많지 않은 편이다. 이에 여기에서는 신뢰성 시험 중 대상 제품의 신뢰성 평가척도값이 목표로 하는 값을 만족하는지 확인하기 위한 신뢰성 적합시험의 설계에 대하여 설명한다. 이를 위해 먼저 소비자와 생산자가 모두 만족할 수 있는 조건은 무엇인지 OC곡선의 측면에서 살펴보면서 원하는 수준의 생산자위험과 소비지위험을 만족하는 샘플링검사가 무엇인지 알아본다. 이어서 신뢰성 샘플링검사 방식은 계수형과 계량형의 두 가지 방식이 있으므로 이들에 대해 살펴본다. 구체적으로 계수형 신뢰성 샘플링검사 방식은 대상 제품 중 n개의 시험품을 샘플링하여 일정 기간인 T시간 동안 시험하여 고장발생수가 c개 이하이면 합격시키는 형태이고, 계량형 신뢰성 샘플링검사 방식은 n개의 시험품을 미리 정한 기준의 시험시간 동안 시험하여 얻어진 시험 데이터를 이용하여 MTBF와 같은 신뢰성 평가척도값을 계산한 후 이 값이 일정 기준을 만족하면 합격시키는 형태이다. 계수형이든 계량형 신뢰성 샘플링검사이든 검사표를 이용할 수도 있다.

Objectives: In working environment measurement, sampling is an important stage for obtaining reliable result as analysis. A personal air sampling pump is one of the most fundamental and important element in the work environment measurement, but it remains at the level of calibrating the flow rate of the pump before and after sampling. There is no checking whether the flow rate set at the initial stage would be hold during sampling. The purpose of this study was to develop a method to evaluate the flow rate performance of particulate sampling pump with three-pieces cassette holder containing filters commonly used to sample particulate. Materials and methods: We tested back pressure of particulate sampling pumps commonly used in Korea with three-pieces cassette holder containing various filters, and tried to find out the combination conditions of filters in accordance with back pressure required by ISO standard 13137. Results: We found out the matrix of sampling media such as three-pieces cassette holder containing filters applicable to the pressure drop required by the ISO standard for evaluating the flow rate stability under increasing pressure drop and long term(8 hour) performance. Conclusions: This evaluation method using sampling media matrix for checking flow rate stability proposed by this study could be very useful tool to find out good performance pumps before sampling.
