The photovoltaic(PV) generation system have recently become widely used to solve the environmental problems and running out of fossil fuels. However, the study on maintenance is inadequate for PV system. This paper proposes the novel diagnosis method of output power decline to maintain the normal output performance of PV array. The diagnosis method used the proportional relation of irradiation-output current(S-I) of PV array at maximum power point(MPP). And, first order polynomial using the relation is proposed to easily apply PV system. To estimate the relation in case of separation of PV array producer and diagnosis system producer. Kalman Filter algorithm is also proposed at 30.2kW grid-connected PV system. Then, the performance of diagnosis method is evaluated using the hardware tests as well as the simulation.

In industry, various rotating machinery such as pumps, gas turbines, compressors, electric motors, generators are being used as an important facility. Due to the industrial development, they make high performance(high-speed, high-pressure). As a result, we need more intelligent and reliable machine condition diagnosis techniques. Diagnosis technique using hidden Markov-model is proposed for an accurate and predictable condition diagnosis of various rotating machines and also has overcame the speed limitation of time/frequency method by using compensation of the rotational speed of rotor. In addition, existing artificial intelligence method needs defect state data for fault detection. hidden Markov model can overcome this limitation by using normal state data alone to detect fault of rotational machinery. Vibration analysis of step-up gearbox for wind turbine was applied to the study to ensure the robustness of diagnostic performance about compensation of the rotational speed. To assure the performance of normal state alone method, hidden Markov model was applied to experimental torque measuring gearbox in this study.

This technology is applicable to Electrical vehicle that using Energy from Hydrogen Fueled Cell. Electricity & water is got from chemical reaction between H2 & O2 in stack. This technology is used when fault diagnosis of Fuel cell is needed. It is General method that measure each cell's voltage of stack for fault diagnosis. but, this technology is method of measuring entire voltage of stack. For this reason, fault diagnosis system is simplified and cost of system is lower than previous one. In normal stack condition, characteristic graph of voltage-current has linearity. In fault stack condition, it has non-linearity. we use this characteristic to diagnosis of stack fault. In this technology, Specific frequency current is injected into stack & Stack voltage is measured in response. After that, stack voltage difference is analyzed to diagnosis of stack fault. Presently, Development of current injection module & basic program of THDA is finished. in future we will develop the technology of precise measurement technology about entire stack voltage.

Background & Object : The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of electrogastrography in the diagnosis field of traditional medicine through a study of the relationship between gastric motility and health condition based on oriental medicine diagnostic theory in functional dyspepsia. Method : 86 patients (male 27, female 59) with functional dyspepsia and 10 healthy control subjects (male 5, female 5) were involved in the investigation. The disease information of functional dyspepsia (based on Rome criteria II) was used for dyspeptic index and scores were obtained from the comprehensive diagnosis of Qui, Xue, Shui was applied as index for health condition, those were all investigated by questionnaire. Gastric motility were recorded and analyzed using electrogastrography in fasting and postprandial period. Results : The total score of comprehensive diagnosis of Qui Xue Shui was influenced by the number of functional dyspepsia symptoms (p=0.026). In terms of electrogastrographical parameters, both postpranial normal slow waves regularity(p=0.003) and power ratio (p=0.001) in the patients had the statistical significance and they showed an incremental inverse correlation with the number of symptoms. Dominant frequency and fasting normal slow waves regularity ratio had no statistical significance. Conclusion : Results suggest that electrogastrography is useful in evaluating the health condition of patient by comprehensive diagnosis of Qui Xue Sui.

This paper pressents a condition-based maintenance (CBM) method through bibration analysis. The well known frequency analysis is employed for performing machine fault diagnosis. The statistical control chart is also applied for analyzing the trend of the bearing wear. Vibration sensors are attached to prototype machine and signals are continuously monitored. The sampled data are utilized to evaluate how well the fast fourier transform(FFT) and the statistical control chart techniques could be used to identify defects of machine and to analyze the machine degradation. Experimental results show that the propowed approach could classify every mal-function and could be utilized for real machine diagnosis system.

In recent years, a pattern recognition method has been widely used by researchers for fault diagnoses of mechanical systems. A pattern recognition method determines the soundness of a mechanical system by detecting variations in the system's vibration characteristics. Hidden Markov model has recently been used as pattern recognition methods in various fields. In this study, a HMM method for the fault diagnosis of a mechanical system is introduced, and a rotating machine with mass unbalance is selected for fault diagnosis. Moreover, a diagnosis procedure to identity the size of a defect is proposed in this study.

Acoustic emission technology is applied to diagnosis the internal leak and operating conditions of the major valves at nuclear power plants. The purpose of this study is to verify availability of the acoustic emission as in-situ diagnosis method. In this study, acoustic emission tests are performed when the pressurized high temperature steam flowed through gate valve(1st stage reheater valve) and glove valve(main steam dump valve) on the normal size of 4 and 8". The valve internal leak diagnosis system for practical field was designed. The acoustic emission method was applied to the valves at the site, and the background noise was measured for the abnormal plant condition. To improve the reliability, a judgment of leak on the system was used various factors which are AE parameters, trend analysis, signal level analysis and RMS(root mean square) analysis of acoustic signal emitted from the valve operating condition internal leak.

Within serviced period of time in transformer, thermal stress is the most influential parameter affecting the aging behavior of an insulation system. The thermal stress on the insulation system may occur from operation in a high temperature environment due to Joule's heat at winding coils. This paper describes a development of capacitive sensor and preventive diagnosis techniques for electrical insulating oil, widely used for power and distribution transformer. To survey the dielectric properties of the virgin and used mineral insulating oil, we utilized the highly precise measuring system of KRISS. And the results were used to determine the design factors of the sensor. To evaluate diagnosis by the sensor, we performed accelerated aging test about insulating oils. The condition of aged specimens were investigated by measurements of relative permittivity i.e. capacitance change by capacitive sensor.

Stability and reliability of a power system in many respects depend on the condition of power transformers. Essential devices as power transformers are in a transmission and distribution system. Being one of the most expensive and important elements, a power transformer is a highly essential element, whose failures and damage may cause the outage of a power system. To detect the power transformer faults, dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is a widely-used method because of its high sensitivity to small amount of electrical faults. Among the various diagnosis methods, Rogers diagonsis method has been widely used in transformer in service. But this method cannot offer accurate diagnosis for all the faults. This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method of oil-filled power transformers using PNN(Probability Neural Network) based Rogers diagnosis method. The test result show better performance than conventional Rogers diagnosis method.
