This study has been motivated to evaluate the practicality of numerical simulation of impedance monitoring for damage detection in steel column connection. In order to achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, the theory of electro-mechanical (E/M) impedance responses and impedance-based damage monitoring method are outlined. Secondly, the feasibility of numerical simulation of impedance monitoring is verified for several pre-published experimental examples on steel beams, cracked aluminum beams, and aluminum round plates. Undamaged and damaged steel and aluminum beams are simulated to compare to experimental impedance responses. An aluminum round plate with PZT patch in center is simulated to investigate sensitive range of impedance responses. Finally, numerical simulation of the impedance-based damage monitoring is performed for a steel column connection in which connection bolts are damaged. From the numerical simulation test, the applicability of the impedance-based monitoring to the target steel column connection can be evaluated.

PMS(Plant Monitoring System) for simulation is the program for training that users such as instructor, operator, and supervisor can operate the plant virtually. Presented in this paper, are some lessons learned from implementation of PMS for simulation. First, this PMS fer simulation is based on LINUX instead of UNIX. These two OS(Operating System) have different platform and compiler version on it, so debugging needs to be done about variable defining part. Second, In LINUX system, the size of shared memory and message queue is already designated as a default value that user has to set up and use the RTAP DB. Third, to decrease the dummy data size, it has to be changed into binary formation. Lastly, PMS software for simulation provides several environments according to the command, so considered should be status monitoring, alarm, system organization, point and group monitoring, history storage and searching function.

Real Time Simulation (RTS) has long been used in the nuclear power industry for operator training and engineering purposes. And, Online Simulation (OLS) is based on RTS and with connection to the plant information system to acquire the measurement data in real time for calibrating the simulation models and following plant operation, for the purposes of analyzing plant events and providing indicative signs of malfunctioning. An OLS system has been developed to support PWR operations for CPR1000 plants. The OLS system provides graphical user interface (GUI) for operators to monitor critical plant operations for preventing faulty operation or analyzing plant events. Functionalities of the OLS system are depicted through the maneuvering of the GUI for various OLS functional modules in the system.

This paper describes a monitoring system that monitors power quality and undesirable accidents when distributed generations are connected to the power grid. Prior to develop and operate a physical monitoring system, we constitute a simulation device to simulate the monitoring processes for the situations. The simulation system consists of the server and the client that connected by communication line. This system has various functions to monitor the power quality and the connection situation. Those functions are generation, transmission, acquisition and analysis of the simulated power data. This research seems very important to get the reliable and intelligent connection algorithm through the result of simulated monitoring system. Also hereafter, as this system uses the remote monitoring system through network and constitute the data base(DB), it will play an important role in building the automation of power system efficiently and systematically.

This paper presents design and implementation of the monitoring system for the distributed simulation of underwater warfare. As importance of defense modeling and simulation(M&S) has raised, Simulation-Based Acquisition(SBA) was authorized for an obligatory process in the development process of weapon systems. Yet, it requires tremendous resources to develop a large-scale simulation system that describes complex and broad battlefields. Therefore, an approach of the distributed system was devised to develop a new simulation system combining legacy simulators that were developed for confined purpose and sole operations. High-Level Architecture(HLA) of distributed systems is a standardized protocol by IEEE for the distributed simulation system and Run-Time Infrastructure(RTI) is an implementation of HLA to structure efficient distributed systems. The main objective of this paper is to derive appropriate monitoring factors for underwater warfare simulation, design and implementation of the monitoring system to analyze the factors based on HLA/RTI.

An internet-based, real-time GPS synchronized wide-area power system frequency monitoring network(FNET) has been monitoring wide-area power system frequency in continuous time in the United States. This paper analyzes the FNET measurement to the verified disturbances in the US eastern interconnected power system and simulates it using the dynamic system model. By comparing the frequency measurements with its simulation results to the same disturbances in detail, this paper finds that the sequence of monitoring points to detect the frequency fluctuation caused by the disturbances is matched well in the measured data and the simulation results. The similarity comparison index is also proposed to quantify the similarity of the compared cases. The dynamic model based simulation result is expected to compensate for the lack of FNET measurement in its applications.

This paper proposed the real-time monitoring methodology of a traffic signal controller. The proposed methodology is based on the simulation technology, and it is necessary to construct a simulation model imitating the behavior of a traffic signal controller. By executing the simulation model, we can obtain the 'nominal system trajectory' of the traffic signal controller. On the other hand, an IoT(Internet of Things)-based monitoring device is implemented in a traffic signal controller. Through the monitoring device, it is possible to obtain the 'actual system trajectory'. By comparing the nominal system trajectory and the actual system trajectory, we can estimate the degree of deterioration of a traffic signal controller.

The spent fuel rod extracting machine is automatically operated in high radioactive environment, so high reliability of operation is required. In this paper, to enhance the reliability of this machine by providing a close monitoring capability. a real time graphic simulation method is suggested. This method utilizes conventional IGRIP (Interactive Graphics Robot Instruction Program) 3D graphic simulation tool to visualize and simulate the 3D graphic model of this machine. Also, the dedicated protocol is defined for transmission of the operational data of the machine. The real time graphic simulation is realized by developing the socket module between a graphic workstation and a machine control computer through the TCP/IP network and by dividing the 3D graphic simulation GSL(Graphic Simulation Language) program as a small sized sub routine. The suggested method is implemented while automatically operating the rod extracting machine. The result of implementation shows that the real time 3D graphic simulation is well synchronized with the actual machine according to the operational data.

Since the Internet-based real-time Global Positioning System(GPS) synchronized widearea power system frequency monitoring network (FNET) was proposed in 2001, it has been monitoring the power system frequency in interconnected United States power systems and numerous interesting behaviors have been observed, including frequency excursion propagation. We address the consistency of a frequency excursion detection order of frequency disturbance recorders in FNET in relation to the same generation trip, as well as the ability to recreate by power systems dynamic simulation. We also propose a new method, as an application of FNET measurement, to locate a tripped generator using power systems dynamic simulation and wide-area frequency measurement. The simulation database of all the possible trips of generators in the interconnected power systems is created using the off-line power systems dynamic simulation. When FNET detects a sudden drop in the monitoring frequency, which is most likely due to a generation trip in power systems, the proposed algorithm locates a tripped generator by finding the best matching case of the measured frequency excursion in the simulation database in terms of the frequency drop detection order and the time of monitoring points.

The objective of this paper is to propose a reference model of a fire detection and monitoring system using MS/TP protocol. The reference model is designed to satisfy the requirements of response time and flexibility. The reference model is operated on the basis of BACnet, a standard communication protocol for building automation systems. Validity of the reference model was examined using a simulation model. This study also evaluated the performance of the BACnet-based fire detection and monitoring system in terms of network-induced delay. Simulation results show that the reference model satisfies the requirements of the fire detection and monitoring system.
