This paper presents the Simplified Simulation Technique that evaluates the adequacy of an electric power system using only a portion of the outage period instead of each hour. Reliability evaluation may be performed at various hierarchical levels, generation, transmission and distribution system. The Simplified Simulation Technique simplifies the adequacy evaluation process reducing the number of calculations considerably. Therefore the computation time can be significantly reduced. This paper is done to compare the results of the simulation model with the Simplified Simulation Technique against the results of the simulation model without the Simplified Simulation Technique. The reliability indices such as the Loss of Load Probability(LOLP), the loss of load frequency(LOLF), the average duration of load curtailment(DLC) and the average demand of load curtailment(ADLC) are calculated. The proposed methods and procedures are tested by using the IEEE-RTS with 24-bus system.

The hydraulic or pneumatic valve spools become essential as the important components on the production of automatic hydraulic or pneumatic machinaries as mechanical industry is developed rapidly. The machining precision is asked for manufacturing the valve spools. They could be unstable in the quality by the conventional arc welding and they have a lot of technical problems in manufacturing because their shapes are generally small. By the Precision casting process such as lost wax process, the production cost will be increased. But by the friction welding technique, they will be able to be made without such problems. Furthermore, there is a few study on friction welding of such hydraulic valve spool steels and in-process real-time weld quality evaluation technique by acoustic emission. So that, the final purpose of this study is 1) the development of design and manufacturing technique of hydraulic or pneumatic valve spool by optimizing of friction welding, and 2) the development of in-process real-time weld quality evaluation technique by acoustic emission.

Although the current evaluation system has been revised four times since it was revised in 1996, it is insufficient to utilize it as a basis for predicting the performance degradation from the long-term viewpoint and prioritization decision for the budget input due to the evaluation system limited to securing the structural safety. Therefore, this study proposes a new evaluation system suitable for the performance evaluation of conventional (ASSM) tunnels among the various types of existing road tunnels using Delphi technique and AHP technique. Since the existing evaluation systems and evaluation items in domestic and overseas are limited in scope of evaluation criteria, the survey was conducted in conjunction with closed questionnaires on existing items and open questionnaires for eliciting new items. The validity of the questionnaire results were verified and the performance evaluation factors suitable for conventional (ASSM) tunnels were derived. After calculating weighted value of the derived evaluation item using AHP technique, a new evaluation system is proposed to meet the characteristics of the ASSM tunnel, so that they can be used as reference materials for revising and supplementing detailed guidelines of performance evaluation in the future.

In this paper, the Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulation(HILS) of missile systems are studied. The HILS is an effective performance evaluation technique that bridges the simulation fidelity gap between analytic all-digital simulations and actual flight tests of missile systems. The HILS may be required to perform system integration tests, performance evaluation at system or subsystem level. Major elements of this HILS facility will include the flight table, simulation computers, I/O computer and peripheral equipments. HILS of missile systems typically involve computer modeling of flight dynamics coupled with a hardware guidance and control(G/C) systems. This paper describes a real time performance evaluation technique of a G/C system, Development of a HILS for a Autopilot of SAM G/C will be used as an example.

The performance evaluation technique of a heat exchanger is described by using a transient response analysis for the determination of an average heat transfer coefficient. The model using a finite difference method can accommodate arbitrary inlet fluid temperature as well as longitudinal conduction. Temperature histories are obtained from the experiments at the inlet and outlet of test core. Heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of the plate array are obtained in short times using the data reduction program of transient response analysis in the single-blow method. The results agree very well with theoretical results. It is shown that the rms deviations are very small and the performance evaluation technique gives rapid and accurate results.

This paper presents the unified reliability evaluation technique of distribution system. To calculate accurate reliabi1ity and reliability indices which can consider line limitation and voltage drop of distribution system, we employed the deterministic evaluation technique with PLOC technique. And to evaluate the distribution system, we presented the evaluating method which is based on Analytic network process. As a result, we can evaluate the distribution system and build the expansion planning of the system considering system load and reliability indices.

It is well recognized that improving capacity of positive grid in battery is one of key factors for controlling the expected long lift-time of Battery Energy Storage System(B.E.S.S). Thus it is really important to characterized material properties of positive grid which are mainly affected by fabrication process. In this study, two kinds of positive grids, which were fabricated by gravity casting and die-casting technique were used. Micro-structural observation and tensile test were conducted to investigate the effect of fabrication process of positive grid. Ultrasonic measurement based on pulse-echo method and ultrasonic C-scan technique also performed to correlate ultrasonic velocity with porosity ratio in positive grid. It was found that the porosity ratio of grid fabricated by gravity casting technique increased significantly compared to the grid fabricated by die-casting technique. It was also shown that ulrasonic technique is effective to evaluate the porosity ratio in positive grid.

The present paper reviews the widely used surface microstructural investigation technique and micro/nano nondestructive evaluation(NDE) technique which is able to evaluate the surface and subsurface. In general, the micro/nano defects and microstructural state of surface have great influence on the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of bulk materials. The investigation technique of surface microstructure is possible to evaluate the defects and microstructural state with high reliability. The various applications and developments of each inspection technique have been introduced. Consequently, it is thought that the technique developments and applications of micro/nano NDE in nondestructive industries are extensively possible hereafter.

In this study, images taken using a grid and images taken using Air Gap Technique were evaluated in X-ray chest radiography. Subjective Evaluation The ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) evaluation was evaluated by 5 radiologists who had worked for more than 10 years in the radiology department of a university hospital. Objective evaluation SNR (Signal to noise ratio) was evaluated. As a result of the analysis, the Cronbach Alpha value was 0.714, which was significantly higher. In the Air Gap Technique, the distance between the phantom and the subject was set at 20 cm, and the image was taken with a tube voltage of 100 kVp, a tube current and a recording time of 8 mAs. In the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) evaluation, the highest score was obtained with 18 score and an objective evaluation SNR (signal to noise ratio) of 6,149 scored. Also, in the imaging method using a grid, when the distance between the phantom and the constant receptor is 15 cm apart, and the tube voltage is 110 kVp, the tube current and the recording time are taken at 8 mAs, the ROC evaluation score is 19 and the objective evaluation SNR (Signal to noise ratio) is the highest with 6.622 scored. Therefore, if the Air Gap Technique imaging method is used, which overcomes the shortcomings such as delay in reading, increase in patient's exposure dose, and shortening of mechanical lifespan, as well as re-radiography due to the cut-off phenomenon of the grid that appears using the grid, the It is thought that it will be very helpful for chest imaging, including the case of using a portable X-ray imaging device.
