원자력발전 비율이 증가함에 따라 전기에너지의 효율적인 이용과 원자력발전의 경쟁력 제고를 위하여 원자력발전소(이하 원전)의 부하추종운전 필요성이 점점 커지고 있다. G7과제의 하나로 개발되고 있는 차세대원자로(KNGR, Korean Next Generation Reactor)는 경쟁력 있는 원전의 설계를 위하여 "일일부하추종운전 능력의 확보"를 기본 성능요건의 하나로 하여 개발되고 있다. 그러나 수동으로 원자로출력분포를 제어하는 기존 원전의 제어방식으로는 상기목표를 충족시키기 어려워 원자로의 출력분포와 출력을 동시에 제어하는 새로운 자동 제어방식을 도입하였다. 본 논문에 기술된 제어방법은 원자로 출력분포 상태에 따른 비선형 제어방법이 적용되며 목표출력 부근에서의 Oscillatory Behavior 방지를 위해 설정된 Deadband 내에서의 다른 상태변수를 제어하기 위한 알고리즘도 포함된다. 개발된 제어방법의 성능을 확인하기 위해 원자로 증기공급계통 전체를 모델링한 성능분석 Simulator를 이용한 Numerical Simulation을 수행하였다. 일일부하추종운전은 100-50-100%P[$(10{\sim}16)-2-(10{\sim}4)-2$ hr] power cycle over a 24-hour period, 주파수제어는 일반적인 Grid Follow에 대해 Simulation하였다.

A nonlinear control scheme for preventing limit cycle due to the nonlinearity of themulti-step bang-bang actuator in mechanical position control systems is proposed. A linearized model, SIDF, fora multi-step bang-bang actuator is introduced to compensate the nonlinearity of the multi-step bang-bang actuator. Using that model, a $H_{\infty}$robust controller for position control systms with a bang-bang actuator is proposed by loop shaping tecniques with normalized coprime factorization stabilization to address the robustness. The proposed scheme needs a smaller deadband as a result of compensating the nonlinearity of the bang-bang actuator. A single-axis servo system is served in order to verify the proposed control scheme experimentally. Experimental results show that the controller can satisfy the special intersts, silent contact switching of the actuator.r.

In this paper, the Superconductor flywheel energy storage system (SFESS) was used for the load frequency control (LFC) of an interconnected 2 area power system. The robust SFESS controller using quantitative feedback theory (QFT) was designed to improve control performance in spite of parameter uncertainty and unexpected disturbances. An overlapping decomposition method was applied to simplify SFESS controller design for the interconnected 2 area power system. The model for simulation of the interconnected 2 area power system included the reheat steam turbine, governor, boiler dynamics and nonlinearity such as governor deadband and generation rate constraint (GRC). To verify robust performance of proposed SFESS controller, dynamic simulation was performed under various disturbances and parameters variation of power system. The results showed that the proposed SFESS controller was more robust than the conventional method.

The electronic expansion valve (EEV) may be used to control the refrigerant flow rate for the multi-type heat pump. Stepping motor driven EEV may precisely control the refrigerant flow rate to meet each internal load requirement. To control the EEV, PI algorithm may be used. But the hysteresis of EEV deteriorates the performance of superheat control. To reduce the performance degradation, the PI algorithm along with the dither signal may be used. The dither signal, with about 10 times higher frequency than the system crossover frequency and about 10 times larger magnitude than the deadband of hysteresis, was selected for the superheat control of EEV. Experimental results showed the improvement of EEV control by adding the dither signal to the PI algorithm.

Overlay parameter control of the semiconductor photolithography process is researched in this paper. Overlay parameters denote the error in superposing the current pattern to the pattern previously created. The reduction of the overlay deviation is one of the key factors in improving the quality of the semiconductor products. The semiconductor process is affected by numerous environment and equipment factors. Through process condition prediction and control, the overlay inaccuracy can be reduced. Generally, three types of process condition change exist; uncontrollable white noise, slowly changing drift, and abrupt condition shift. To effectively control the aforementioned process changes, control scheme using adaptive deadband is proposed. The suggested approach and existing control method are cross evaluated through simulation.

In this study, the performance of the tracking control of a pneumatic servo motor driven position control system using sliding mode is investigated. It is usually quite difficult to obtain precise tracking control of a pneumatic servo motor driven position control system because of the nonlinear deadband and stick-slip friction of the proportional valve. Therefore, a continuous sliding mode controller with velocity feedforward gain is proposed. Experimental results show that the tracking accurracy can be remarkably improved by adding a proper velocity feedforward term to continuous sliding mode controller.

Traditional statistical process control (SPC) applied to discrete part industry in the form of control charts can look for and eliminate assignable causes by process monitoring. On the other hand, engineering process control (EPC) applied to the process industry in the form of feedback control can maintain the process output on the target by continual adjustment of input variable. This study presents controlling and monitoring rules adopted by variable sampling interval (VSI) to change sampling intervals in a predetermined fashion on the predicted process levels under integrated EPC and SPC systems. Twelve rules classified by EPC schemes(MMSE, constrained PI, bounded or deadband adjustment policy) and type of sampling interval combined with EWMA chart of SPC are proposed under IMA (1,1) disturbance model and zero-order (responsive) dynamic system. Properties of twelve control rules under three patterns of process change (sudden shift, drift and random shift) are evaluated and discussed through simulation and control rules for integrated VSI EPC and SPC systems are recommended.

This paper deals with the concept design of HVDC system for controlling AC network reactive power. HVDC system can control active power and reactive power and the control concept of reactive power is similar to SVC(Static Var Compensator). Reactive power is controlled by adjusting firing angle of HVDC system under the condition that AC filters are switched. Reactive power depends on AC voltage condition, considering the steady-state and transient state to maintain the stable operation of AC network in the viewpoint of voltage stability. Therefore, in the design stage of HVDC, the reactive power required in the AC network must be considered. For the calculation of operation angle in HVDC system, the expected reactive power demand and supply status is examined at each AC system bus. The required reactive power affects the determination of the operation angle of HVDC. That is, the range of "control deadband" of operation angle should have the capability supplying the required reactive power. Finally, the reactive power control concepts is applied to 1GW BTB Pyeongtaek-Dangjin HVDC system.

This study was attempted to develop the electronic-hydraulic hitch control system for position control of tractor plow and investigate the control performance of the system through experiments. Experiments were carried out to investigate the responses of the system to the step and sinusoidal inputs in position control. The effects of control mode, hydraulic flow rate, reference deadband, and proportional constant on control performance of the system were investigated. The following conclusions were derived from the study; 1. For the position control system operated on on-off control mode, positions of implement were controlled within ${\pm}0.73^{\circ}{\sim}{\pm}1.46^{\circ}$ in rockshaft angle to the reference position when the hydraulic flow rates were 5~15 l/min. For the position control system operated on PWM control mode, positions of implement were controlled within ${\pm}0.73^{\circ}$ to the reference position regardless of hydraulic flow rates. It means that the implement could be positioned more accurately to the reference position on PWM control mode than on on-off control mode. 2. As results of the frequency responses of the position control systems, no clear difference in control performance between on-off control and PWM control modes was found. As the hydraulic flow rates increased, the corner frequencies of amplitude attenuation and phase-angle change increased. It means that the control performance of the system could be improved as the hydraulic flow rate increases.
