In the sodium-cooled fast reactor, the steam generator is a heat exchange device between sodium and water, which may cause leakage, resulting in a sodium-water reaction accident, which in turn affects the safe operation of the entire nuclear reactor. To this end, the electromagnetic vortex flowmeter is used to detect leakage of the steam generator and its signal processing method is studied in this paper. The hydraulic experiment was carried out by using water instead of liquid sodium, and the sensor output signal of the electromagnetic vortex flowmeter under different gas injection volumes was collected. The bubble noise signal is reflected by the base line of the sensor output signal. According to the relationship between the proportion of the bubble noise signal in the sensor output signal and the gas injection volume, a signal processing method based on the energy ratio calculation is proposed to detect whether the water contains bubbles. The gas injection experiment of liquid sodium was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the signal processing method in the detection of bubbles in sodium, and the minimum detectable leak rate of water in the steam generator was detected to be 0.2 g/s.

A steam generator (SG) tube is an important component of a nuclear power plant (NPP). It works as a pressure boundary between the primary and secondary systems. The integrity of a SG tube can be assessed by an eddy current test every outage. The eddy current technique(adopting a bobbin probe) is currently the main technique used to assess the integrity of the tubing of a steam generator. An eddy current signal analyst for steam generator tubes continuously analyzes data over a given period of time. However, there are possibilities that the analyst conducting the test may get tired and cause mistakes, such as: missing indications or not being able to separate a true defect signal from one that is more complicated. This error could lead to confusion and an improper interpretation of the signal analysis. In order to avoid these possibilities, many countries of opted for automated analyses. Axial ODSCC (outside diameter stress corrosion cracking) defects on the tubes of OPR1000 steam generators have been found on the tube that are in contract with tube support plates. In this study, automated analysis software called CDS (computer data screening) made by Zetec was used. This paper will discuss the results of introducing an automated analysis system for an axial ODSCC on the tubes of an OPR1000 steam generator.

In this paper, predistorter for PCS has been designed and fabricated. In predistorter system IMD signal generator was very important element. In this LPA IMD signal generator was fabricated using main signal cancellation and error signal cancellation of feedforward method and two amplifier that had same IMD characteristics. This LPA showed IMD characteristics of 52㏈c operation in 48㏈m(60W) and made 12㏈ IMD characteristic improvement when it was excited by two tone. In this LPA, to make more IMD characteristic improvement the IMD characteristic resemblance between main amplifier and predistortion amplifier is very important.

We develops a simulator to evaluate the performance of the autosyncronizer. The autosyncronizer is used to automatically syncronize magnitude, frequency, and phase of 3 phase signals of generator with respect to those of the utility grid. This autosyncronizer needs to be evaluated its performance to prevent malfunctions. To do this, 3 phase signals of generator and the utility grid are simulated and signals of the generator should be changed by ouput of the autosyncronizer with high precision. In this paper, we uses TMS320C31 to generate high precision sinusoidal 3 phase signals using Table Lookup method. In this process, it is very desirable to control magnitude, frequency, and phase of the signal with high precision and this is achieved by appropriate interpolation method. The resulted signal is well controlled and has low THD and could be used to evaluate the performance of the autosyncronizer.

In nuclear power plants, workers are reluctant of works in steam generator because of the high radiation environment and limited working space. It is strongly recommended that the examination and maintenance works be done by an automatic system for the protection of the operator from the radiation exposure. In this paper, it is proposed a new approach to the development of the automatic vision system to examine and repair the steam generator tubes at remote distance. Digital signal processors are used in implementing real time recognition and examination of steam generator holes in the proposed vision system. Performance of proposed digital vision system is illustrated by experiment for similar steam generator model.

최근 우주에서의 SAR(synthetic aperture radar) 시스템은 영상 해상도와 주파수가 높아지고 있다. 높은 품질의 영상 해상도 일수록 높은 대역폭이 요구되고 RF 구성을 사용하는 광대역 신호 발생기는 매우 복잡해지고 RF 소자의 불균형 성분이 증가한다. 그러므로 이러한 에러를 줄이고 성능을 개선하는것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서, 광대역 신호 발생기의 송신 신호는 위상 잡음, 직교불균형, 비선형 증폭기의 에러 모델이 적용된다. 그리고 광대역 파형 발생기의 가능한 구조들을 정의하고 평가 방법으로 PSLR(peak side lobe ratio)과 ISLR(integrated side lobe ratio)을 측정하였다. 또한, 파형으로부터 진폭과 위상 에러를 추출하고 이차 다항식을 사용하여 비선형 소자에 따른 성능 변화를 검토 하였다. 마지막으로 고출력 증폭기의 비선형 에러를 보상하기 위한 사전왜곡방식을 적용하여 혼변조 성분에 의한 증폭기 출력의 왜곡이 15 dB 감소됨을 확인하였다.

This paper discusses the impacts of large scale grid-connected wind farm equipped with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) on power system small signal stability (SSS) incorporating wind generation uncertainty and volatility. Firstly, a practical simplified PMSG model with rotor-flux-oriented control strategy applied is derived. In modeling PMSG generator side converter, the generator-voltage-oriented control strategy is utilized to implement the decoupled control of active and reactive power output. In modeling PMSG grid side converter, the grid-voltage-oriented control strategy is applied to realize the control of DC link voltage and the reactive power regulation. Based on the Weibull distribution of wind speed, the Monte Carlo simulation technique based is carried out on the IEEE 16-generator-68-bus test system as benchmark to study the impacts of wind generation uncertainty and volatility on small signal stability. Finally, some preliminary conclusions and comments are given.
