A new improved excitation control system for power plant synchronous generators has been developed by KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute). In this paper a description of the developed control system with detailed design concept is given. Field tests are conducted to show the system performance and to obtain the model parameters. Based on the measurement approached by field tests excitation model parameters supposing a mathmatical model is given can be determinded. This paper also proposes a algorithm of parameter estimation and identification in the synchronous Generator Excitation Control System.

This paper describes the optimal PSS parameter design for the PSS of EX2000 excitation system. The suggested tuning technique uses the model-based PSS tuning method which have three steps: generation system modeling, determination of PSS parameters, and on-site test. Using this method, the PSS parameters of EX2000 system in Dangjin T/P #4 was designed and verified by linear analysis program, PSS/E, and EMTDC/PSCAD.

The failure probabilities of pipes in nuclear power plants due to stress corrosion are obtained using the P-PIE program, which is developed for evaluating failure probability of pipes based on the existing PRAISE program. Leak, big leak and LOCA(loss of coolant accident) probabilities are calculated as a function of operating time for several pipes in a domestic nuclear plant. The sensitivity analysis is also performed to find out the important parameters for the failure of pipes due to stress corrosion. The results show that the steady state oxygen concentration and steady state temperature are important parameters and failure probability is very low when the oxygen concentration is maintained according to the regulation.

Helidecks are vital structures that act as a last exit in an emergency. They transport people and goods to and from ships and offshore plants. When designing the structure of a helideck, it is necessary to comply with loading conditions and design parameters specified in existing professional design standards and regulations. In the present study, finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted with regard to a steel helideck mounted on the upper deck of a ship considering the emergency landing of the helicopter. The superstructure and substructure were designed, and the influence of various design parameters was analyzed on the basis of the FEA results.

This paper describes combustion tuning methodology of double-swirl gas turbine combustor using six sigma tools. This methodology is consist of five steps-Define, Identify, Design, Optimize and Verify (DIDOV). First, the NOx reduction target was defined in the step design; second, the current status of the plant was diagnosed in the step of identify; third, the vital few control parameters to achieve the defined target were determined by analyzing the correlation between the control parameters and NOx emissions in the step of design; fourth, the optimum condition was derived from one of the six sigma tools in the step of optimize; finally, the optimum condition was verified by applying the condition to the gas turbine combustor in the step of verify. As a result of the suggested method, averaged NOx emissions were reduced by more than 70% and the standard deviation was improved by more than 60%. Thus, this methodology can be attributed to the efficient reduction of NOx emission with saving combustion tuning time.

Most of linear time-varying(LTV) systems except special cases have no general solution for the dynamic equations. Thus, it is difficult to design time-varying controllers in analytic ways, and other control design approaches such as robust control have been applied to control design for uncertain LTI systems which are the approximation of LTV systems have been generally used instead. A robust control method such as quantitative feedback theory(QFT) has an advantage of guaranteeing the stability and the performance specification against plant parameter uncertainties in frozen time sense. However, if these methods are applied to the approximated linear time-invariant(LTI) plants which have large uncertainty, the designed control will be constructed in complicated forms and usually not suitable for fast dynamic performance. In this paper, as a method to enhance the fast dynamic performance, the approximated uncertainty of time-varying parameters are reduced by the proposed QFT parameter-scheduling control design based on radial basis function (RBF) networks for LTV systems with bounded time-varying parameters.

The chemical and geometric effects of weld on flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) of SA106 Gr.C low alloy steel pipe in 3.5wt% NaCl and simulated feedwater of nuclear power plant have been investigated by using rotating cylinder electrode. Polarization test and weight loss test were conducted and compared at rotating speed of 2000rpm (3.14m/s) with the variables of chemical and geometric parameters. The results showed that the chemical effects were relatively larger than the geometric effects, and the welded parts were the local anode and preferentially corroded, which could be explained by the differences between microstructural and compositional parameters. On the other hand, under active corrosion conditions, the heat affected zone were severely corroded and microstructural effects became the important role in the whole process.

This study presents a detailed pharmacognostical study of the root and leaf of the crude drug Clerodendrum viscosum Vent. (Verbenaceae), an important plant in the Indian system of medicine. The root and leaf samples were studied using light and confocal microscopy, WHO recommended-physicochemical determinations, and authentic phytochemical procedures. The physicochemical, morphological, and histological parameters presented in this paper may be proposed as parameters to establish the authenticity of C. viscosum root and leaf, and may possibly help to differentiate the drug from its other species.
