Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to investigate the complex coupling effects of different operating parameters on silicon growth rate in planetary CVD reactor. Based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, an accurate RSM model is obtained to predict the growth rate with different parameters, including temperature, pressure, rotation speed of the wafer, and the mole fraction of dichlorosilane (DCS). Analysis of variance is used to estimate the contributions of process parameters and their interactions. Among the four operating parameters that have been studied, the influences of susceptor temperature and the operating pressure were the most significant factors that affect silicon growth rate, followed by the mole fraction of DCS. The influence of wafer rotation is the least. The validation tests show that the results of silicon deposition rate obtained from the regression model are in good agreement with those from CFD model and the maximum deviations is 2.15%.

The application of soft-switching techniques is increasing in the DC/DC converter area. It is important to design soft-switching parameters to ensure the converter operates properly and efficiently. An optimized design method is presented in this paper. The objective function is the total power loss of a converter, while the variables are soft-switching parameters and the constraints are the electrical requirements for soft-switching. Firstly, a response surface methodology (RSM) model with a high precision is built, and the rough optimized parameters can be obtained with the help of a genetic algorithm (GA) in the solution space determined by the constraints. Secondly, a re-optimization is conducted with a SPICE model and a GA, and accurate optimized parameters can be obtained. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method performs well in terms of a wide adaptability, efficiency, and global optimization.

In this study, the parameters of the feedwater control system (FWCS) of the OPR1000 type nuclear power plant (NPP) are optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) in order to acquire better level control performance from the FWCS. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the steam generator (SG) water level deviation from the reference level during transients. The objective functions for this optimization are relationships between the SG level deviation and the parameters of the FWCS. However, in this case of FWCS parameter optimization, the objective functions are not available in the form of analytic equations and the responses (the SG level at plant transients) to inputs (FWCS parameters) can be evaluated by computer simulations only. Classical optimization methods cannot be used because the objective function value cannot be calculated directely. Therefore, the simulation optimization methodology is used and the RSM is adopted as the simulation optimization algorithm. Objective functions are evaluated with several typical transients in NPPs using a system simulation computer code that has been utilized for the system performance analysis of actual NPPs. The results show that the optimized parameters have better SG level control performance. The degree of the SG level deviation from the reference level during transients is minimized and consequently the control performance of the FWCS is remarkably improved.

In the present study, the finite volume method is applied for the thermal performance prediction of the natural ventilation system using vertical solar chimney whereas, design parameters are optimized through the response surface methodology (RSM). The computational simulations are performed for various parameters of the solar chimney such as absorber temperature (40≤T_abs≤70℃), inlet temperature (20≤T₀≤30℃), inlet height of (0.1≤h≤0.2 m) and chimney width (0.1≤d≤0.2 m). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to identify the design parameters that influence the average Nusselt number (Nu) and mass flow rate (ṁ). Then, quadratic polynomial regression models were developed to predict of all the response parameters. Consequently, numerical and graphical optimizations were performed to achieve multi-objective optimization for the desired criteria. According to the desirability function approach, it can be seen that the optimum objective functions are Nu=25.67 and ṁ=24.68 kg/h·m, corresponding to design parameters h=0.18 m, d=0.2 m, T_abs=46.81℃ and T₀=20℃. The optimal ventilation flow rate is enhanced by about 96.65% compared to the minimum ventilation rate, while solar energy consumption is reduced by 49.54% compared to the maximum ventilation rate.

현수교의 지진응답 산정 시 몇 가지 해석법 간에 발생될 수 있는 차이를 파악하고자 하나의 예제 현수교에 대해 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 주된 검토항목은 선형과 비선형 응답응답스펙트럼법과 동적해석법, 그리고 감쇠율과 감쇠고려 방안이다. 검토 결과 대상 물리량이나 가진 방향에 따라 약간의 차이는 있지만 전체적으로 감쇠율과 감쇠 고려방안 등 감쇠와 관련된 변수가 지진응답에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 반면 응답스펙트럼과 동적해석법, 선형 및 비선형해석법 등 구조해석법에 관련된 변수는 상대적으로 지진응답에 미치는 영향이 적은 것으로 확인되었다. 대상 현수교의 경우에도 응답스펙트럼법이 안전측의 결과를 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대되지만 이 경우 도로교설계기준에 제시된 설계응답스펙트럼을 감쇠율에 따라 적절히 보정하는 사전 작업이 필요랄 것으로 판단되었다.

PID 제어기는 구조가 간단하고 적용이 용이하다는 장점으로 인하여 널리 사용되고 있는 제어방식이다. 이러한 선형 PID 제어기는 시스템의 파라메터가 변화가 있거나 부하 특성이 비 선형적으로 변화할 때에 적절한 이득과 성능을 얻기 어려워 고성능 제어 특성을 기대하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 세포성 면역 반응과 경사감소학습에 기초하여 비선형 PID 제어기를 설계하고, 설계된 제어기의이득과 비선형 함수의 파라메터들을 실시간 적응적으로 학습할 수 있는 학습 알고리즘을 개발하고, 이를 제어시스템에 적용하였다. 제안된 비선형 PID 제어기는 비선형 직류 모터 시스템의 파라메터들이 변화하거나 주파수가 다른 추종 명령에 대하여, 적응적으로 이득을 변화 시키며 추종함을 보였다.

The conventional PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control technique is widely used for the process control in many industries since it is simple in structure and provides the good response. Nowadays, this control technique has been developed on the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to use for the process control loop. However, using this technique is difficult when tuning the PID parameters ($K_p$, $T_i$ and $T_d$) to achieve the best response. Moreover, trial-and-error procedure along with the operator experiences are required to obtain the best results when tuning the PID controller parameters. This paper proposes the self-tuning PID controller based on PLC for the process control in the industries. The proposed self-tuning PID controller uses the PLC-based PID structures to control the process production. The proposed PID tuning utilizes the PLC to synthesize and analyze controller parameter as well as to tune for appropriate parameters using Dahlin method and extrapolation. Experimental results using a self-tuning PID controller to control temperature of the oven show that the controller developed is capable of controlling the process very effectively and provides a good response.

The fundamental small-signal modeling of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and a parameter evaluation approach are investigated in this study to describe the dynamic behaviors of small signals accurately. The main contributions of the study are as follows. 1) The operational principle of the small signals of Li-ion batteries is revealed to prove that the sinusoidal voltage response of a Li-ion battery is a result of a sinusoidal current stimulation of an AC small signals. 2) Three small-signal measurement conditions, namely stability, causality, and linearity, are proved mathematically proven to ensure the validity of the frequency response of the experimental data. 3) Based on the internal structure and electrochemical operational mechanism of the battery, an AC small-signal model is established to depict its dynamic behaviors. 4) A classical least-squares curve fitting for experimental data, referred as Levy's method, are introduced and developed to identify small-signal model parameters. Experimental and simulation results show that the measured frequency response data fit well within reading accuracy of the simulated results; moreover, the small-signal parameters identified by Levy's method are remarkably close to the measured parameters. Although the fundamental and parameter evaluation approaches are discussed for Li-ion batteries, they are expected to be applicable for other batteries.

This paper presents analysis, design and simulation for the indirect field orientation control (IFOC) of induction machine drive system. The dynamic performance of the IFOC under nominal and detuned parameters of the induction machine is established. A conventional proportional plus integral-derivative (PI-D) two-degree-of-freedom controller (2DOFC) is designed and analysed for an ideal IFOC induction machine drive at nominal parameters with the desired dynamic response. Varying the induction machine parameters causes a degredation in the dynamic response for disturbance rejection and tracking performance with PI-D 2DOF speed controller. Therefore, conventional controllers can nut meet a wide range of speed tracking performance under parameter variations. To achieve high- dynamic performance, a proposed robust fuzzy logic controllers (RFLC) for d-axis rotor flux, d-q axis stator currents and rotor speed have been designed and analysed. These controllers provide robust tracking and disturbance rejection performance when detuning occurres and improve the dynamic behavior. The proposed REL controllers provide a fast and accurate dynamic response in tracking and disturbance rejection characteristics under parameter variations. Computer simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed REL controllers and a robust performance is obtained fur IFOC induction machine drive system.
