In this study, the core dynamics of a PWR reactor is identified online by a recursive least-squares method. Based on the identified reactor model consisting of the control rod position and the core average coolant temperature, the future average coolant temperature is predicted. A model predictive control method is applied to designing an automatic controller for the thermal power control of PWR reactors. The basic concept of the model predictive control is to solve an optimization problem for a finite future at current time and to implement as the current control input only the first optimal control input among the solutions of the finite time steps. At the next time step, this procedure for solving the optimization problem is repeated. The objectives of the proposed model predictive controller are to minimize both the difference between the predicted core coolant temperature and the desired temperature, as well as minimizing the variation of the control rod positions. In addition, the objectives are subject to the maximum and minimum control rod positions as well as the maximum control rod speed. Therefore, a genetic algorithm that is appropriate for the accomplishment of multiple objectives is utilized in order to optimize the model predictive controller. A three-dimensional nuclear reactor analysis code, MASTER that was developed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) , is used to verify the proposed controller for a nuclear reactor. From the results of a numerical simulation that was carried out in order to verify the performance of the proposed controller with a $5\%/min$ ramp increase or decrease of a desired load and a $10\%$ step increase or decrease (which were design requirements), it was found that the nuclear power level controlled by the proposed controller could track the desired power level very well.

The temperature control system for semiconductor test handler is designed. We controlled the temperature of chamber using 3-wire RTD sensor and MVME EMbedded controller. VxWorks that is a real-time operating system is used and heater is controlled by PWM. Temperature fluctuation of chamber is decreased within 0.3.deg. C, which is about one-half of that of commercial controller.

It is important and difficult to control the steam temperature in the once through boiler. Generally, steam temperature of once through boiler not only is controlled by boiler spray water flow, but also is influenced by feed water flow and fuel flow. So we have to make the same gain of fuel flow controller and feed water flow controller. This paper is shown the design and test of steam temperature and feed water flow control system for once through boiler in pusan thermal power plant.

The improvement of cooling efficiency for the cabinet of automatic controller is the most efficient method of it's application. Therefore, this study has been analyzed and investigated the improvement of cooling efficiency and reduction of energy for the cabinet of automatic controller, respectively. So this study was conducted to enhancement of cooling efficiency for the cabinet of automatic controller by making a structure which produces difference of air pressures in the entrance tube of external air. And the structure has capacity of the pyrogen source (PTC elements) to make temperature range from $145^{\circ}C$ to $155^{\circ}C$. Consequently, temperatures of the upper, the lower in the interior of the cabinet of automatic controller and the exhaust part were revealed $28.57^{\circ}C$, $23.38^{\circ}C$and $36.14^{\circ}C$(average temperature of the exhaust part in case of existing method : $45^{\circ}C$) in target test of this study, respectively. It was found that the cabinet of the automatic controller has better cooling ability than the cabinet of automatic controller by using an existing method.

This paper describes the bending traveling-wave type ultrasonic motor which generates the traveling wave by combining two standing waves with phase difference time and space. In $+20^{\circ}C{\sim}30^{\circ}C$, the USM motor operation character has represented normal condition. But the other temperature, (that is say, when long time operating condition) USM operation characteristic has abnormal condition, that is driving frequency, drive current and r.p.m is down. The recent USM has controller without temperature compensation. This study aimed at fuzzy controller which must follow the frequency at operation temperature and then r.p.m and torque increase.

In this paper, a HVAC controller which has a bilinear system is designed to control the air temperature in building room and a saving of energy on the HVAC system. For modeling of the HVAC bilinear system, AHU(Air Handling Unit) is modeled on the control of inside-outside air flow using three dampers in a duct. A heat exchanger and the single room are also modeled by the energy conservation law. Under the modeling of the HVAC bilinear system, the control's law of the bilinear HVAC system is derived by Lyapunov's non-linear theory and Deress's the linear feedback laws for bilinear system. In this paper it was proved that the controller of the HVAC bilinear system is able to control the air temperature with a disturbance in order to get a target of temperature in the building room by the computer simulation when the control inputs regulate the air flow rate and a capacity of the heat exchanger.

This paper is proposed cooling system of BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) by micro-controller. The output power of PV generation system is not systematically tracked and influenced by various factors; solar irradiance, solar cell temperature. The temperature of solar module should be minimized to increase electrical output. Therefore, it is proposed that micro-controller cools to decrease temperature of solar module using thermoelement. The validity of this paper is proved by comparing solar module temperature of cooling system and un-cooling system.

In this paper, a temperature controller of a test plate for semiconductor is developed using LQG/LTR methodology. The liquid is heated or cooled in a tank by a heater of a cooler. The controller controls the flow of heated or cooled liquid in the plate by controling an electronic valve. The developed controller is applied to the plate designed for function test of a semiconductor under high or low temperature environment. As a result, control using the heater and the cooler together shows better control performance than using the heater or the cooler separately.

본 논문에서는 밴드갭 기준전압을 이용하여 동작온도에 무관한 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 제어 회로를 설계 하였다. 동작온도에 무관한 PWM 제어기는 BiCMOS 기술을 이용하여 동작온도에 무관한 기준전압과 동작온도에 따라 변화하는 두개의 기준 전압을 이용하였다. 설계되어진 회로는 공급전압 3.3volt를 사용하였으며, 출력 주파수는 1MHz이다. 회로의 시뮬레이션 결과 동작 온도가 $0^{\circ}C$에서 $70^{\circ}C$까지 변화할 때, PWM 제어기의 출력 펄스폭의 변화는 상온에 비하여 +0.86%에서 -0.38%였다.
