A simplified steam generator model has been developed for the simulation of the operational transients of CANDU nuclear power plant. For the analysis of the secondary side, a control volume approach is used and the flow conservation equations are applied for each control volume. The typical steam generator control logic such as the level control and the pressure control are incorporated into the steam generator model with appropriate interface conditions. The steam line including ASDV, CSDV, and governor valve also has been modeled. Test results for typical operational transient case show reasonable transient behavior of steam generator in a real time basis, which is promising for a CANDU engineering simulator.

The high energy penalty in amine-based post-combustion CO₂ capture process is hampering its industrial scale application. An advanced process is designed by intensive heat integration within the conventional process to reduce the stripper duty. The study presents the technical feasibility for stripper duty reduction by intensive heat integration in CO₂ capture process. A rigorous rate-based model has been used in Aspen Plus® to simulate conventional and advanced process for a 300 MW coal-based power plant. Several design and operational parameters like split ratio, stripper inter-heater location and flowrate were studied to find the optimum values. The results show that advanced configuration with heat integration can reduces the stripper heat by 14%.

Radiation hardening is a multiscale phenomenon involving various processes over a wide range of time and length. We present a multiscale model for estimating the amount of radiation hardening in pressure vessel steel in the environment of a light water reactor. The model comprises two main parts: molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and a point defect cluster (PDC) model. The MD simulation was used to investigate the primary damage caused by displacement cascades. The PDC model mathematically formulates interactions between point defects and their clusters, which explains the evolution of microstructures. We then used a dislocation barrier model to calculate the hardening due to the PDCs. The key input for this multiscale model is a neutron spectrum at the inner surface of reactor pressure vessel steel of the Younggwang Nuclear Power Plant No.5. A combined calculation from the MD simulation and the PDC model provides a convenient tool for estimating the amount of radiation hardening.

NARX(Nonlinear AutoRegressive with eXogenous input) neural network was used for prediction of nuclear reactor behavior which was influenced by control rods in short-term period and also by the concentration of xenon and boron in long-term period in load following operations. The developed model was designed to predict reactor power, xenon worth and axial offset with different burnup states when control rods and boron were adjusted in load following operations. Data of the Korea Next Generation PWR were collected by ONED94 code. The test results presented exhibit the capability of the NARX neural network model to capture the long term and short term dynamics of the reactor core and the developed model seems to be utilized as a handy tool for the use of a plant simulation.

The most important non-functional requirements for dependability of any Embedded Real-Time Safety Systems are safety, availability and reliability requirements. System architecture plays the primary role in achieving these requirements. Compliance with these non-functional requirements should be ensured early in the development cycle with appropriate considerations during architectural design. In this paper, we present an application of system architecture modeling for quantitative assessment of system dependability. We use probabilistic model checker (PRISM), for dependability analysis of the DTMC model derived from system architecture model. In general, the model checking techniques do not scale well for analyzing large systems, because of prohibitively large state space. It limits the use of model checking techniques in analyzing the systems of practical interest. We propose abstraction based compositional analysis methodology to circumvent this limitation. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology has been demonstrated using the case study involving the dependability analysis of safety system of a large Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR).

In spite of the importance of nuclear power as one of major electric energies in Korea, the nuclear safety has become the most serious social issue in the operation of the nuclear power plant. In this paper, a virtual work simulation program was developed to predict exposure dose during radiation work in radwaste storage. The work simulation program was developed. using $Java ^{TM}$applet and VRML-virtual reality modeling language. A numerical algorithm to find the optimal work path which minimize exposure dose during the given work, was developed and exposure dose on the optimal work path was compared with that on the shortest path. Comparing with the shortest path for the given work, the predicted optimal path consumed longer work time by II% but reduced total exposure dose by 46%. The simulation result showed that the exposure dose depended on not only work time, but also the distance between the worker and the radiation source. The developed simulation program could be a useful tool for the planning of radioactive waste work to increase the radiation safety of workers.

SIMULIINK$\circledR$를 이용하여 항공기용 터보프롭 엔진을 모델링한 후 현재 KT-1의 추진기관인 PT6A-62 분리축 터보프롭엔진의 성능을 해석하였다. SIMULIINK$\circledR$ 모델의 검증을 위하여 상용해석 프로그램인 GSTURB 와 비교한 결과 최대오차율 1.07% 이내로 확인되었다. 지상정지 조건에서 블리드 공기유량을 0에서 5%, 보기류 구동에 따른 출력손실을 0에서 20 hp로 가정하고 해석한 결과 축마력은 최대 0.68%감소하며 비연료소모율은 거의 영향을 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

The prediction of AOV(air-operated valve) performance is normally evaluated by the allowable opening thrust margin for the opening and closing stroke. However, it is not easy to carry out the dynamic test measurement for all the valves in the nuclear power plant due to the safety and operating conditions. The analysis of the available and required thrust for the valve is simulated as an alternate method to turn around this obstacle. The required air pressures to the stem displacement are discussed for differential valve pressure obtained by experiment. The result of the simulation is compared with that of the experiment. SIMULINK in MATLAB was used for the simulation and the results show good agreement with the actual test carried out with Fisher globe valve.

자원의 고갈과 각종 환경규제 및 정부의 전력거래 방침 등으로 인해 점점 발전소에서는 전력 계통에 대한 신뢰도 및 전기품질을 유지하기가 어려워지고있다. 발전소의 부하대별 주요 운전 설계값은 효율과 바로 직결되는 사항으로 각 부하별로 온도와 압력 등 운전설계값을 최적의 상태로 유지하는 것은 발전소 수명과 발전효율, 전력거래 등에 있어 중요한 요소들이다. 전력시장에 진입하는 발전소는 전력계통의 갑작스런 불안성 상황이나 전력거래소 요청시 경사변동폭, 출력변통율, 무효전력 출력, 자동발전제어, 주파수조절량 확보 등을 수행할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 고급공정제어기를 이용하여 운전설계계값을 효과적으로 제어 하면서 기존의 제어로직보다 전력계통상에서 요구되는 발전기 출력을 최대한 신속히 제어하는 과정을 기술하였다. 우선 보일러 마스터와 터빈 마스터, 급수 마스터로 구성된 제어로직을 설계한 뒤 이들 마스터에 대한 발전기 출력, 주증기 압력, 기수분리기 출구온도 각각의 영향을 모델링 기법을 이용하여 적합한 모델을 구했다. 각각의 모델을 고급공정제어기에 적용하고 발전기 출력제어에 대한 기존의 발전소 응답보다 좀 더 효율적이고 실제적용이 가능한 결과를 얻을 수 있도록 튜닝을 시행했으며 그 과정과 결과를 기술했다.

Laser welding application for car body manufacturing has many advantages in the stiffness and the lightness of vehicle, the productivity of assembly line, and the degree of freedom in design. This presentation will express the innovation of car body manufacturing including parameter optimization, process modeling, and system integration. In this application the investment for systems was cut down dramatically by real time switching over the laser path between two welding stations. Points of technical discussion are as follows: optimization of parameters such as laser power, robot speed and trajectory, compact and useful design of jig & fixture to assure welding quality for 3 sheet-layer zinc-coated steel, system integration between 4kW Nd:YAG laser device and the other systems, on-line real time welding quality monitoring system, perfect safety standards for high power laser, minimization of consumption costs such as arc lamp, protective glass for optic, etc. Laser welding has found a place on Hyundai's production plant in conjunction with the startup of mass production of new sports car, and this production system is the result of a collaboration of its engineers. Outer side sheets are joined to inner side sheets by 122 stitch welds totally. And the length is about 2.4meter.
