There are many studies to incorporate virtual reality technology into agricultural education. Interest in virtual reality is increasing not only for direct education such as agricultural machinery education but also for indirect education using games. A key technology in virtual reality is to model objects to feel as real as they are. Plants grown on a farm are equally affected by the environment of the farm. Plants also have their independent characteristics. In this paper, we propose a method to model plants in three dimensions in NPC form by reflecting these characteristics. The proposed method implements how individual plants reflect common weather and farm characteristics, and their unique characteristics. Implementation results show that the proposed method is simple but expresses the plants very realistically.

The system was constructed so that safety training of the region city gas governor could be carried out using virtual reality. This system was used to survey the general public and it was found that the operation controller has a great influence on the user in the training system. The same survey question was conducted to construct the safety training system of city gas governor using joystick and oculus touch. The results of these two surveys confirm the importance of the operation controller in the safety training system using virtual reality.

The performance prediction software developed in this paper is a process analysis tool that enables one to foretell the behavior of processes when certain conditions of operation are altered. The immediate objective of this research is to predict the process characteristics of combined heat and power plant under varying operating conditions. A cogeneration virtual power plant that mimics the mechanical performance of the actual plant was constructed and the performance of the power plant was predicted in the following varying atmospheric conditions: temperature, pressure and humidity. This resulted in a positive outcome where the performance of the power plant under changing conditions were correctly predicted as well as the calorific value of low calorific gas fuel such as shale gas and PNG. The performance prediction tool can detect the operation characteristics of the power plant through the performance index analysis and thus propose the operation method taking into consideration the changes in environmental conditions.

Due to safety of the plant, it became very clear the importance of study occurrence reactor coolant system (RCS) issues specially the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). The Systems Engineering (SE) approach is characterized by the application of a structured engineering methodology for the design of a complex system or component. Robotic devices have been used for internal inspection, maintenance and performing remote welding and inspection in high-radiation areas. In this paper, PWSCC overview and inlay and over lay welding methodology introduced, concept of robotic device that can be inserted into the piping via Steam Generator (SG) main way to access to primary piping of pressurized water reactor (PWR) is developed based on SE methodology. A 3D model of the inspection system was developed along with the APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor)reactor coolant systems (RCS) and internals with virtual 3D simulation of the operation for visualization to prove the validity of the concept.

The system performance of Engineered Safety Features is of utmost importance in a nuclear power plant. The human performance is identified as most critical to assurance of the optimal operability of safety systems during an emergency. The aim of this study is to determine how the performance of safety system could be evaluated using Augmented Reality technology. The paper presents a description of how a systems engineered approach could be used to develop the necessary operating conditions needed to conduct this measurement. Augmented Virtual Reality (AVR) interface technology is achieving ease of availability and widespread use in many applications today as illustrated by the launch of several AR and VR devices aimed at media consumption. As such, environments that incorporate such AVR hardware have become invaluable tools in designing human interface systems because of the high fidelity and intuitive response to natural human interaction that can be achieved [2]. The outcome of the measurement undertaken is to determine whether 1.) Operator(s) performance can be enhanced by introducing an improved cognitive method of monitoring plant information during an Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) and 2.) In correlation, inform the performance of the diverse safety systems on the basis of human factors.

It is necessary to predict hydrodynamic derivatives when assessing the maneuverability of a submarine. The force and moment acting on the vehicle may affect its motion in various modes. Conventionally, the derivatives are determined by performing captive model tests in a towing tank or applying a system identification method to the free running model test. However, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method has also become a possible tool to predict the hydrodynamics. In this study, virtual captive model tests for a full-scale submarine were conducted by utilizing a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver in ANSYS FLUENT version 18.2. The simulations were carried out at design speed for various modes of motion such as straight forward, drift, angle of attack, deflection of the rudder, circular, and combined motion. The hydrodynamic force and moment acting on the submarine appended rudders and stern stabilizers were then obtained. Finally, hydrodynamic derivatives were determined, and these could be used for evaluating the maneuvering characteristics of the submarine in a further study.

In a conventional power system, the frequency is recovered to the nominal value by the inertial, primary, and secondary responses of the synchronous generators (SGs) after a large disturbance such as a generator tripping. For a power system with high wind penetration, the system inertia is significantly reduced due to the maximum power point tracking control based operation of the variable speed wind generators (WGs). This paper proposes a virtual inertial control for a wind power plant (WPP) based on the maximum rate of change of frequency to release more kinetic energy stored in the WGs. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated in a model system, which consists of a doubly fed induction generator-based WPP and SGs using an EMTP-RV simulator. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve the frequency nadir after a generator tripping. In addition, the algorithm can lead the instant of a frequency rebound and help frequency recovery after the frequency rebound.
