In order to overcome the power fluctuation issues in photovoltaic (PV) smart grid-connected systems and the inverter nonlinearity model problem, an adaptive backstepping command-filter and a double second order generalized Integrators (DSOGI) controller are designed in order to tune the AC current and the DC-link voltage from the DC side. Firstly, we propose to present the filter mathematical model throughout the PV system, at that juncture the backstepping control law is applied in order to control it, Moreover the command filter is bounded to the controller aiming to exclude the backstepping controller differential increase. Additionally, The adaptive law uses Lyapunov stability criterion. Its task is to estimate the uncertain parameters in the smart grid-connected inverter. A DSOGI is added to stabilize the grid currents and eliminate undesirable harmonics meanwhile feeding maximum power generated from PV to the point of common coupling (PCC). Then, guaranteeing a dynamic effective response even under very unbalanced loads and/or intermittent climate changes. Finally, the simulation results will be established using MATLAB/SIMULINK proving that the presented approach can control surely the smart grid-connected system.

Timber-Concrete Composite construction system consists of combining timber beam or deck and concrete with different connectors. Different fastener types are used in Timber-Concrete Composite systems. In this paper, the effects of two types of fasteners on structural behavior are compared. First, the notches were opened on timber beam, and combined with reinforced concrete slab by fasteners. This system is called as Notched Connection System. Then, timber beam and reinforced concrete slab were combined by new type designed fasteners in another model. This system is called as Notched-Slab Approach. Two laboratory models were constructed and bending tests were performed to examine the fasteners' effectiveness. Bending test results have shown that heavy damage to concrete slab occurs in Notched Connection System applications and the system becomes unusable. However, in Notched-Slab Approach applications, the damage concentrated on the fastener in the metal notch created in the slab, and no damage occurred in the concrete slab. In addition, non-destructive experimental measurements were conducted to determine the dynamic characteristics. To validate the experimental results, initial finite element models of both systems were constituted in ANSYS software using orthotropic material properties, and numerical dynamic characteristics were calculated. Finite element models of Timber-Concrete Composite systems are updated to minimize the differences by manual model updating procedure using some uncertain parameters such as material properties and boundary conditions.

Decision making at the early stages of a construction project has a significant impact on the project, and various scenarios created based on the owner's requirements should be considered for the decision making. At the early stages of a construction project, the information regarding the project is usually limited and uncertain. As such, it is difficult to plan and manage the project (especially cost planning). Thus, in this study, a cost model that could be varied according to the owner's requirements was developed. The cost model that was developed in this study is based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology. The model suggests cost estimation with the most similar historical case as a basis for the estimation. In this study, the optimization process was also conducted, using genetic algorithms that reflect the changes in the number of project characteristics and in the database in the model according to the owner's decision making. Two optimization parameters were established: (1) the minimum criteria for scoring attribute similarity (MCAS); and (2) the range of attribute weights (RAW). The cost model proposed in this study can help building owners and managers estimate the project budget at the business planning stage.

This paper presents a robust force tracking control of a smart flexible gripper featured by a piezoceramic actuator characterizing its durability and quick response time. A mathematical governing equation for the proposed gripper structure is derived by employing Hamilton's principle and a state space control model is subsequently obtained through model analysis. Uncertain system parameters such as frequency variation are included in the control model. A sliding mode control theory which has inherent robustness to the sys- tem uncertainties is adopted to design a force tracking controller for the piezoceramic actuator. Using out- put information from the tip force sensor, a full-order observer is constructed to estimate state variables of the system. Force tracking performances for desired trajectories represented by sinusoidal and step func- tions are evaluated by undertaking both simulation and experimental works. In addition, in order to illustrate practical feasibility of the proposed method, a two-fingered gripper is constructed and its performance is demonstrated by showing a capability of holding an object.

Integrated severe accident codes should be capable of simulating not only specific physical phenomena but also entire plant behaviors, and in a sufficiently fast time. However, significant uncertainty may exist owing to the numerous parametric models and interactions among the various phenomena. The primary objectives of this study are to present best-practice uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results regarding the evolutions of severe accidents (SAs) and fission product source terms and to determine the effects of mitigation measures on them, as expected during a short-term station blackout (STSBO) of a reference pressurized water reactor (optimized power reactor (OPR)1000). Three reference scenarios related to the STSBO accident are considered: one base and two mitigation scenarios, and the impacts of dedicated severe accident mitigation (SAM) actions on the results of interest are analyzed (such as flammable gas generation). The uncertainties are quantified based on a random set of Monte Carlo samples per case scenario. The relative importance values of the uncertain input parameters to the results of interest are quantitatively evaluated through a relevant sensitivity/importance analysis.

본 연구에서는 진주, 수원, 춘천의 정보로만 추정한 유전 모수(New1~New3)와 지역 조합으로 추정한 유전 모수(New4~New7), NICS (2010)와 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 개화시기 및 잠재수량의 예측력을 평가하여 기존의 유전 정보와 새로운 유전 정보에 대한 불확실 정도를 알고 다음 후속 연구에 활용 가능성을 알아보고자 수행했다. 결과적으로, 개별 및 지역조합 유전 모수에서 모수 추정 지점 혹은 참여한 지점의 유전 모수의 평가 지표들은 비교적 좋은 결과를 보여 주었지만 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 대구, 밀양, 전주에서 New7 유전 모수의 개화시기의 예측력은 NICS (2010)나 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 개화 시기 예측력보다 개선되지 않았다. 그러나 New7 유전 모수의 잠재수량의 예측력은 큰 차이는 아니지만 NICS (2010)나 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 잠재 수량 예측력보다 개선되는 현상을 보였다. 예를 들면, 밀양에서 NICS (2010)와 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수가 0.00과 0.01로 전혀 예측력이 없는 것으로 평가하였지만 New7 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수는 0.31로 나타났다. 반면, 전주에서 NICS (2010)과 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수는 0.66과 0.41로 평가되었는데, New7 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수는 0.00으로 예측력이 없는 것으로 평가되었다. 새로운 유전 모수의 예측력(New1~New7)이 기존의 유전 모수(NICS (2010)과 Kim et al. (2004))의 예측력보다 크게 개선되지는 않았지만, 평가 결과가 좋은 지역 조합 유전 모수를 지역별 개화시기 및 잠재수량을 예측하는 데에는 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a nonlinear sliding mode control (SMC) scheme with a variable damping ratio for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs). First, a nonlinear sliding surface whose parameters change continuously with time is designed. Actually, the proposed SMC has the ability to reduce the settling time without an overshoot by giving a low damping ratio at the initial time and a high damping ratio as the output reaches the desired setpoint. At the same time, it enables a fast convergence in finite time and eliminates the singularity problem with the upper bound of an uncertain term, which cannot be measured in practice, by using a simple adaptation law. To improve the efficiency of a system in the constant torque region, the control system incorporates the maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) algorithm. The stability of the nonlinear sliding surface is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability theory. Moreover, a simple sliding mode observer is used to estimate the load torque and system uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear SMC scheme is verified using comparative experimental results of the linear SMC scheme when the speed reference and load torque change under system uncertainties. From these experimental results, the proposed nonlinear SMC method reveals a faster transient response, smaller steady-state speed error, and less sensitivity to system uncertainties than the linear SMC method.

본 논문에서는 NIST에서 개발한 CFAST 화재 모델링 코드를 사용하여 원자력발전소 펌프실 화재를 모의하였다. 급기 제한, 최소 산소 농도(Lower Oxygen Limit), 복사열 방출비율(Radiative Fraction), 방화문 개방 정도 등의 CFAST 입력 변수 변화에 따라 화재 성장 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면 본 화재구역에서의 화재는 환기 지배형 화재이므로 급기 제한 및 최소 산소 농도 10%로 설정하는 것이 타당한 것으로 판단되며, 복사열 방출에 따라 상부층 가스 온도는 큰 변화가 없는 것을 알 수 있었다. 화재가 발생한 화재구역 내 펌프를 제외하고는 상부에 위치한 케이블은 모두 건전성을 유지하는 것으로 나타났으며, CCDP(Conditional CDP)를 평가한 결과 9.25E-07로, 화재위험도분석보다 현실적이고 불확실성이 감소한 결과를 도출할 수 있었다.
