In this paper, we induce the linear transfer function of Downcomer water level of NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) Steam Generator using Genetic Algorithm and Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm. The characteristic of NPP S/G mechanism is so high-non-linear that it is hard to achieve mathematical expression. So we use non-mathematical Algorithms to get the model function of NPP S/G water level. S/G level controller would be designed with this transfer function as the plant.

This paper presents a new economic dispatch algorithm to improve the unit commitment solution while guaranteeing the near optimal solution without reducing calculation speed. The conventional economic dispatch algorithms have the problem that it is not applicable to the unit commitment formulation due to the frequent on/off state changes of units during the unit commitment calculation. Therefore, piecewise linear iterative method have generally been used for economic dispatch algorithm for unit commitment. In that method, the approximation of the generator cost function makes it hard to obtain the optimal economic dispatch solution. In this case, the solution can be improved by introducing a inverse of the incremental cost function. The proposed method is tested with sample system. The results are compared with the conventional piecewise linear iterative method. It is shown that the proposed algorithm yields more accurate and economical solution without calculation speed reduction.

When grasping a movable object or making an object move, humans feel kinesthetic sense. The kinesthetic sense is the human sense that the human feels in response to the motion acted on him. The objective of the paper is to transform the kinesthetic sense associated with the human arm into the quantified data that are useful from the engineering viewpoint. A 2-dimensional motion generator composed of two linear motors was developed to provide various motion patterns. It can change its stiffness and damping values on the real-time basis by properly regulating the force generated by the linear motors. Based on Taguchi method, the most dominant factors to affect the kinesthetic sense were investigated. Also, a reference function adequate to quantify the kinesthetic sense was found. Based on this function, the effects of changes in stiffness and damping on the kinesthetic sense were investigated. Various tests show that the damping is a more dominant factor than the stiffness in forming the kinesthetic sense.

Cerebellar Model Linear Associator Net(CMLAN), a kind of neuro-net based adaptive control function generator, was applied to the problem of direct inverse calibration of three and six d.o.f. POMA 560 robot. Since CMLAN autonomously maps and generalizes a desired system function via learning on the sampled input/output pair nodes, CMLAN allows no knowledge in system modeling and other error sources. The CMLAN based direct inverse calibration avoids the complex procedure of identifying various system parameters such as geometric(kinematic) or nongeometric(dynamic) ones and generates the corresponding desired compensated joint commands directly to each joint for given target commands in the world coordinate. The generated net outputs automatically handles the effect of unknown system parameters and dynamic error sources. On-line sequential learning on the prespecified sampled nodes requires only the measurement of the corresponding tool tip locations for three d.o.f. manipulator but location and orientation for six d.o.f. manipulator. The proposed calibration procedure can be applied to any robot.

메모리 테스트는 Built-In Self Test(BIST)와 같이 메모리에 내장된 회로를 통하여 자체 점검하는 방법과 테스터를 통하여 생성된 패턴을 주입하는 방법이 있다. 테스트 패턴 생성방법으로는 각각의 고장모델에 대한 테스트 패턴을 deterministic하게 생성해주는 방법과 Pseudo Random Pattern Generator(PRPG)를 이용하여 생성하는 경우로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 PRPG를 패턴 생성기로 사용하여 여러 가지 메모리의 결함을 대표한다고 볼 수 있는 Static 및 Dynamic Neighborhood Pattern Sensitive Fault(NPSF) 등 다양한 종류의 고장을 점검할 수 있도록 메모리 BIST를 구성하였다. 기존의 Linear Feedback Shift Register(LFSR)보다 본 연구에서 제안하는 Linear Hybrid Cellular Automata(LHCA)를 이용한 PRPG가 높고 안정된 고장 점검도를 나타내었다.

We consider a problem of application of analytical redundancy to engine synchronization process of spark ignition engines, which is critical to timing for every ECU process including ignition and injection. The engine synchronization process we consider here is performed using the pulse signal obtained by the revolution of crankshaft trigger wheel (CTW) coupled to crank shaft. We propose a discrete-time linear model for the signal, for which we construct FDI (Fault Detection & Isolation) system consisting residual generator and threshold based on linear observer.

A method is given for obtaining low-order models for a linear time-invariant system of high-order by minimizing a functional of the reduction error between the output response of the original system and the low-order model. The method is based on the Astrom's algorithm for the evaluation of complex integrals and the conjugate gradient method of Fletcher-Reeves. An example illustrating the application of this method is given for approximation of a 4-th order system to be used in the load frequency control of generator systems.

최근 대두되고 있는 에너지 문제와 더불어 대체에너지 개발 및 에너지의 이용효율을 높이려는 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 수소에너지는 비 탄소계 연료로서 그 중요성에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있으며, 다양한 분야에서 수소에너지를 이용하기 위한 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 수소는 재순환이 가능하고, 환경에 미치는 영향이 적기 때문에 미래형 에너지원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 수소이용 기술 중 연료 전지는 에너지 변환효율이 높고 유해 배출물이 생성되지 않아 차세대 발전시스템으로 유망하지만 비용과 기술적 제약으로 단기간에 상용화하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 저비용, 고효율의 수소에너지를 이용 할 수 있는 시스템 개발이 요구되고 있다. 리니어동력/발전시스템은 저비용으로 제작이 가능하고 기존 기술의 인프라를 활용할 수 있는 장정과, 크랭크 기구가 없기 때문에 얻어지는 변환손실, 열손실을 최소화 할 수 있는 효율의 장점 때문에 고효율의 수소 이용 기관으로 평가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수소이용 통력시스템의 직선운동을 전기적인 에너지로 변환 할 수 있는 고효율의 리니어 발전시스템 개발을 위해 Prototype의 평판형 및 원통형의 리니어발전기를 제작했고 각각의 성능에 대한 평가와 엔진과 발전기의 연계운전 결과를 비교하여 시스템 전체에 대한 성능예측을 했으며 연계운전을 통해 출력된 발전기의 출력파형을 PCS로 변환하여 정현파의 AC 출력을 얻었다.

A hybrid ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator for audio applications is presented in this paper. The pulse generator for digital-to-analog converter alleviates the requirement of the external clock jitter and calibrates the coefficient variation due to a process shift and temperature changes. The input resistor network in the first integrator offers a gain control function in a dB-linear fashion. Also, careful chopper stabilization implementation using return-to-zero scheme in the first continuous-time integrator minimizes both the influence of flicker noise and inflow noise due to chopping. The chip is implemented in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology (I/O devices) and occupies an active area of 0.37 $mm^2$. The ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator achieves a dynamic range (A-weighted) of 97.8 dB and a peak signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio of 90.0 dB over an audio bandwidth of 20 kHz with a 4.4 mW power consumption from 3.3 V. Also, the gain of the modulator is controlled from -9.5 dB to 8.5 dB, and the performance of the modulator is maintained up to 5 nsRMS external clock jitter.

We calculate the benefit of distributed combined heat power generators from avoiding a transmission expansion cost by building distributed generators near electricity demand centers. We determine a transmission expansion plan by solving a mixed integer linear problem, where we modify capacities of existing transmission lines and build new transmission lines. We calculate the benefit by comparing the sum of generation and transmission expansion costs with or without distributed generators through two simulation frames. In the first frame, for the current demand, we substitute existing distributed generators for non-distributed generators and measure an additional cost to balance the generation and demand. In the second frame, for increased future demand, we compare the cost to invest only in distributed generators to the cost to invest only in non-distributed generators. As a result, we show that the distributed generators have at least 5.8 won/kWh of the benefit from avoiding the transmission expansion cost.
