The structural analysis of a reactor coolant pump(RCP) of a nuclear power plant is very important for the safety assessment of the plant. Accurate boundary conditions for the heat transfer coefficient are required for reliable thermal stress analysis of the pump casing, especially in transient operations of the pump since the coolant properties are largely dependent on operational conditions. In the present study, a 3D mixed flow type coolant pump was modeled from the RCP drawings and analyzed in the steady state and number of transient flow conditions by using a commercial code STAR-CD. From the result of the computation, it is seen that the average heat transfer coefficients for the cases considered are found to be the suggested values of the manufacturer, Westinghouse Energy System. The unevenness in local heat transfer coefficients, however, is found to be considerable so that the use of average heat transfer coefficients in all boundaries might not give reliable thermal stress predictions.

Coefficients of the adaptive filter are misadjusted by primary signals which are uncorrelated with reference signals of the adaptive filter. In this paper, the normalized sign algorithm is analyzed and compared with the NLMS algorithm by the steady state performance and the transient characteristics when target signals are included in primary signals. The excess mean square error of the NLMS algorithm is proportional to the power of target signals. That of normalized sign algorithm is proportional to the square root of the target signal power. However, the convergence speed of the normalized sign algorithm is slower than that of NLMS algorithm. In this paper, it is shown that theoretical analysis of the steady state performance and the transient characteristics are well consisted with the results of computer simulation.

This paper presents the modeling and power quality analysis of Jeju island power system connected with wind farm, and thermal power plant. It is for indicating the influence of wind farm operation in steady and transient state in Jeju island power system during the HVDC system overhaul period. For the computer simulation, three kinds of main item are modeled, which are 67[MW] wind farm, thermal power plant and Jeju power load. To analyze the influence of the wind power generation to the Jeju power system, two kinds of simulations are carried out by using the PSCAD/EMTDC program. One is the steady state operation under the variable speed wind, and the other is the transient state operation when all of wind farms in Jeju island are disconnected from the Jeju power grid instantaneously on the rated power output. With the comparison of these results, it is useful for analyzing the power quality of Jeju power system versus wind power generation.

The security analysis relates to the ability of the electric systems to survive sudden disturbances such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of system elements. It is composed of both steady state and dynamic security analyses, which are not two separate issues but should be considered together. In steady state security analysis including voltage security analysis, the analysis checks that the system is operated within security limits by OPF (optimal power flow) after the transition of a new operating point. On the other hand, dynamic security analysis deals that the transition will lead to an acceptable operating condition. Transient stability, which is the ability of power systems to maintain synchronism when subjected to a large disturbance, is a principal component in dynamic security analysis. Usually any loss of synchronism will cause additional outages. They make the present steady state analysis of the post-contingency condition inadequate for unstable cases. This is the reason of the need for dynamics of systems. Probabilistic criterion can be used to recognize the probabilistic nature of system components and shows the possibility of system security. A comprehensive conceptual framework for probabilistic static and dynamic assessment is presented in this paper. The simulation results of the Western System Coordinating Council (WSCC) system compare an analytical method with Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS). Also, a case study of the extended IEEE Reliability Test System (RTS) shows the efficiency of this approach.

This paper deals with the impact analysis of the impedance change of 345/154[kV] power transformers on the KEPCO system's overall performance. Through the steady-state and dynamic analysis of power system, the maximum available impedance of power transformers were determined. Checking violation of short-circuit current ratings and transformer overload, parallel operation of power transformers, calculation of voltage variation ratio according to the impedance changes of power transformers are included in the steady-state analysis. In addition, transient and voltage stability analysis are also performed in the study. Available magnitudes to be able to change the impedance of the transformers in KEPCO system are finally determined in the paper.

This study describes the analysis results of unsteady cavitating flows behavior inside nozzle of the prototype piezo-driven injector. This piezo-driven injector has been recognised as one of the next generation diesel injector due to a higher driven efficiency than the conventional solenoid-driven injector. The three dimensional geometry model along the central cross-section regarding of one injection hole has been used to simulate the cavitating flows for injection time by at fully transient simulation with cavitation model. The cavitation model incorporates many of the fundamental physical processes assumed to take place in cavitating flows. The simulations performed were both fully transient and 'pseudo' steady state, even if under steady state boundary conditions. We could analyze the effect the pressure drop to the sudden acceleration of fuel, which is due to the fastest response of needle, on the degree of cavitation existed in piezo-driven injector nozzle

In order to design the Linear DC Motor (LDM) with improved characteristics, transient and steady state analysis are required. furthermore, 3D analysis is also needed to analyze the precise characteristics like thrust, time harmonics. This paper deals with the transient and dynamic characteristic analysis of LDM by coupling of external circuit and motion equation using 3D Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method (EMCN). For the three dimensional analysis of electric machine, EMCN is very effective method that ensures high accuracy similar to FEM and short computation time. Also, The modeling by EMCN easily allows the mover to move with respect to the stater at each time step, and the spatial moving step is determined by the solution of the mechanical motion equation and the computed electromagnetic thrust The results are compared with experimental ones to clarify the usefulness and verify the accuracy of the Proposed method.

The static characteristic of a piezoelectric beam is for finding resonance frequency of the beam. In practice, it is required to analyze the beam with external command circuit including capacitors, inductors, and resistors for control. It means that the proper analysis of a piezoelectric beam with external command circuit is required by a dynamic analysis. We can also got transient and steady-state solution from the analysis. In this paper, the static and dynamic characteristic of the piezoelectric beam using FEM(Finite Element Method) are proposed.

A new nondimensional method for predicting the windmilling performance of centrifugal -flow turbojet engines in flight has been developed. The method incorporates loss correlations to estimate the performance of major engine components. Given basic engine geometry, flight Mach number, and ambient conditions, this method predicts transient and steady-state windmilling performance. Thus, this method can be used during the preliminary design stage when detailed hardware geometry and component performance data are not yet available. A nondimensional time parameter is newly defined, and using this parameter, the transient performance of different types of turbojets (e.g. centrifugal vs. axial) is compared. In addition, the predictions' sensitivity to loss correlations, slip factors, and inlet ambient temperatures are analyzed.

Reactive power support is considered to be necessary for dealing with a voltage stability issue with wind turbine system employing squirrel-cage induction generator(SCIG). This paper analyses steady-state characteristics of the SCIG wind turbine system by simulating torque-slip characteristics of SCIG with respect to variations of interconnecting network strength and generator terminal voltage. It also presents dynamics analysis of SCIG wind turbine system on Simulink to investigate the impact of static var compensator(SVC) and static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) on transient stability enhancement. It analysed transient stability with varying fault duration times and compared the transient stability characteristics with varying rated capacities of SVC and STATCOM. It is shown that the STATCOM has a better performance and reactive power support compared to SVC.
