A new algorithm for a coordinative control method is proposed with respect to voltage control and system stabilization of local substations. This is accomplished using control cooperation between a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and the existing voltage compensation equipment in the steady state and emergency state of a power system. A real-time system analysis was developed by combining a system analysis program with InTouch, which has primarily been used in factory automation for verification. PSS/E was used for the load flow calculation software, Python for language, Intouch as an HMI program, and MS SQL for the database. To test this system, the system in the vicinity of the Migeum and the Migeum substations was modeled and simulated.

The current-fed DC-DC converter has only one energy storage reactor in series with the input for any number of outputs and is insensitive to transformer volt-second unbalance. It is considered that these properties of the converter are considerable advantages over other maltiple-output circuits. The steady-state and dynamic characteristic and stability for the current-fed DC-DC con-verter are analyzed in detail. The analysis is carried out by the state-space averaging method for the operation with the duty ratio less than 50% and is confirmed by the experiment. From the evaluation of stability it is identified that the stability of this converter is excellent as compared with that of the conventional buck type converter.

Dynamic thermal rating (DTR) system is an effective method to improve the capacity of existing overhead line. According to the methodology based on CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric systems) standard, ampacity values under steady-state heating balance can be calculated from ambient environmental conditions. In this study, simulation analysis of relations between parameters and ampacity is described as functional dependence, which can provide an effective basis for the design and research of overhead transmission lines. The simulation of ampacity variation in different rating scales is described in this paper, which are determined from real-time meteorological data and conductor state parameters. To test the performance of DTR in different rating scales, capacity improvement and risk level are presented. And the experimental results show that the capacity of transmission line by using DTR has significant improvement, with low probability of risk. The information of this study has an important reference value to the operation management of power grid.

The operation regions of a three-phase(3Ø) voltage-source(VS) PWM converter are classified in the current vector plane of the synchronous reference frame and their characteristics are explained. In the the power-factor decreasing region, the current control with unity power-factor can not give satisfactory performance to the given load because of the distortion of input current and the ripples and the steady-state errors in DC link voltage. In this paper, the derivation of the optimal current vector is proposed to solve these problems. With this, the input current can be controlled sinusoidally with available maximum power factor and the DC link voltage be the given load, resulting the expansion of the operation region of the 3Ø VS PWM converter. The validity of the proposed control method is proved by the experimental results.

This paper presents the high-efficiency DC-DC converter using the multi-resonant-circuit. The proposed converter has the power topology of half-bridge and utilizes the multi-resonant-circuit that is composed of 2 inductors (LL) and 1 capacitor (C) to achieve high-efficiency. The multi-resonant-circuit forms each resonant circuit of series circuit type with each resonant frequency, according to the operation modes. This paper first describes the operation pirinciples of proposed converter by the operation modes and steady-state fundamental approximation modelling. Then it shows a design example of the proposed converter based on the principles. And it is validated that the proposed converter has the operation characteristics of high-efficiency DC-DC power conversion through the experimental results of prototype converter implemented by the designed circuit parameters.

In this thesis, the lead-lag compensator is designed to improve output characteristics of flyback zero voltage switching quasi-resonant converters. The switch and the diode are assumed ideally. And the SMPS is modelled by state equations with four operation modes. And the model for controller design is also achived by using a state space averaging method, which is continuous time average of state variables every period. The lag, the lead and the lead-lag compensator is designed the SMPS respectively. The time domain analysis and the frequency domain analysis are done for each compensated circuit. It is possible increasing the phase margin and improving the transient response by the compensators. The phase lag compensator has small overshoot comparatively. But the bandwidth is narrower than the others, so it has longest settling time. For the phase lead compensator, the response come to steady-state within short period. But the overshoot is the largest due to its large peak gain. Finally, the phase lead-lag compensator has medium characteristics in the overshoot and the settling time.

The technique named CORD is an algorithm that optimizes resources of Data Service Platform(DSP) in real time, and it has been developed for enhancing operability of DSP of Korean e-Navigation Project performed by Hanwha Systems and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries(MOF) since 2016. It plays a critical role to recognize the state of DSP in early time and handling problems immediately when it occurs logical, physical error in order to make DSP steady state condition, which has something in common with maximizing operability of DSP and seamless maritime service to various ships in the sea. Therefore, as developing a noble technique that makes DSP steady state by diagnosing resource and operation status of DSP as well as by reconfiguring service queue optimally in real time, DSP can have shorter response time and higher chance of providing proper maritime service to ships in voyage.

This paper proposes an operating frequency design method that limits the voltage applied to aload-side converter during the initial operation of a loosely coupled resonant dual-active bridge (LCR-DAB) converter and an initial operating strategy that applies it. The LCR-DAB converter uses two wireless power transfer coils instead of the high-frequency transformer of the general DAB converter. The wireless power coil has a physical distance of several tens of millimeter or more between the two coils; thus, the LCR-DAB converter is a bidirectional isolated power conversion system that can easily achieve high insulation performance. However, for the initial operation of the LCR-DAB, if the power-side converter is operated at the resonance frequency while the load-side converter is not operating, then a very high voltage due to resonance is applied to the load-side converter, thereby causing damage to the converter. Therefore, a method that can stably charge the DC link voltage of the secondary-side converter during the initial operation is needed. This paper proposes a method to initially charge the secondary-side DC link by operating the primary-side converter at a frequency with limited voltage gain rather than at a steady-state operating frequency. The validity of the proposed frequency design method and initial operating sequence is verified through simulation and experimentation of the 1 KW LCR-DAB converter.

A Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) benchmark for Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling (UAM) is defined in order to facilitate the development and validation of available uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis methods for best-estimate Light water Reactor (LWR) design and safety calculations. The benchmark has been named the OECD/NEA UAM-LWR benchmark, and has been divided into three phases each of which focuses on a different portion of the uncertainty propagation in LWR multi-physics and multi-scale analysis. Several different reactor cases are modeled at various phases of a reactor calculation. This paper discusses Phase I, known as the "Neutronics Phase", which is devoted mostly to the propagation of nuclear data (cross-section) uncertainty throughout steady-state stand-alone neutronics core calculations. Three reactor systems (for which design, operation and measured data are available) are rigorously studied in this benchmark: Peach Bottom Unit 2 BWR, Three Mile Island Unit 1 PWR, and VVER-1000 Kozloduy-6/Kalinin-3. Additional measured data is analyzed such as the KRITZ LEU criticality experiments and the SNEAK-7A and 7B experiments of the Karlsruhe Fast Critical Facility. Analyzed results include the top five neutron-nuclide reactions, which contribute the most to the prediction uncertainty in keff, as well as the uncertainty in key parameters of neutronics analysis such as microscopic and macroscopic cross-sections, six-group decay constants, assembly discontinuity factors, and axial and radial core power distributions. Conclusions are drawn regarding where further studies should be done to reduce uncertainties in key nuclide reaction uncertainties (i.e.: $^{238}U$ radiative capture and inelastic scattering (n, n') as well as the average number of neutrons released per fission event of $^{239}Pu$).
