Full turnover-based storage policy (FULL) is often used to minimize the travel time needed to perform storage/retrieval operations in automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RSs). This paper presents an approach for determining the required storage capacity for a unit load AS/RS under the FULL. An analytic model is formulated such that the total cost related to storage space and space shortage is minimized while satisfying a desired service level. To solve the model, some analytic properties are derived and based on them, an iterative search algorithm which always generates optimal solutions is developed. To illustrate the validity of the approach, an application is provided when the standard economic-order-quantity inventory model is used.

The high frequency series resonant converter has been widely used for the non-contact power supply system with the large air gap and the increased leakage inductance of the non-contact transformer. However. the high frequency series resonant converter has the disadvantages of high voltage gain characteristics in the overall load range due to the large air gap and the circulating magnetizing current. In this paper, unit voltage gain is revealed in the proposed three-level series-parallel resonant converter. The results are verified on the simulation results and the 5kW experimental prototype.

This paper describes a comparative analysis of soft switching boost converters through design, production and experiment. Soft switching boost converters are designed to satisfy the condition of input voltage 170-265Vac, output voltage 400Vdc, output current 5A, output power 20W-2000W and unit power factor. In addition, parameter values are designed so that system operation can be compared under this is similar conditions. The efficiency of the combined inductor soft switching boost converter was 97.63% with 1011 load better than that of other boost converter types. The combined inductor soft switching converter has simple circuit construction and low switching loss. EMI resulted by the switching noise, and harmonic distortion.

Namhae chemical is one of the largest fertilizer manufacturing company in Korea which company has operating 4 unit agitator gear boxes and producing variety kinds of fertilizer production. The gearbox operating temperature of agitator is approximated in $55^{\circ}C{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ and required to keep operating continuous without stopping. The system required high performance oil and longer oil drain interval as limited workforce in maintenance team. It was lubricated by mineral gear oil of ISO VG 320 and also need to change to new oil frequently. Namhae Chemical would expect to keep stable operating condition without shut down and consider, lower cost of operation and equipment protection.

In this paper, we determine the required storage capacity of a unit-load automated storage/retrieval system(AS/RS) under random storage assignment(RAN) and n-class turnover-based storage assignment(CN) policies. For each of the storage policies, an analytic model to determine the optimal storage capacity of the AS/RS is formulated so that the total cost related to storage space and space shortage is minimized while satisfying a desired service level. A closed form of optimal solutions for the RAN policy is derived from the model. For the CN policy, an optimal storage capacity is shown to be determined by applying the existing iterative search algorithm developed for the full turnover-based storage(FULL) policy. Finally, an application of the approach to the standard economic-order-quantity inventory model is provided.

In this paper, an intelligent control scheme based on Fuzzy PID controller is proposed for accurate power sharing in DC Microgrid. The proposed Fuzzy PID controller is designed with the aid of a closed loop control based on per unit power of each distributed generator (DG), and accurate power sharing is successfully realized in proportional to each DG's power rating regardless of the line resistance difference or the load change. Thanks to Fuzzy PID controller, the dynamic response becomes faster and the stability of the microgrid system are improved in comparison to conventional PID controller. The superiority of the proposed method is analyzed and verified by simulation in Matlab and Simulink.

Delaying and objection for the construction of storage spent-fuel disposal has prompted to consider expanding on-site storage of spent reactor fuel since it can eliminate the need for costly and difficult shipping and control of the spent fuel completely under the direction of the owner-utility. The dry storage unit developed in Canada can accommodate Korea heavy water reactor fuel elements and become a candidate for the Korean market. In this paper, finite element analysis were carried out in order to investigate the structural behavior of the nuclear spent fuel dry storage system, which is subjected to impact loads such as collision of a truck load and dropping of flask under the irregular operation.

Three-dimensional finite-element methods(FEM) have been used to analyze the thermal stress of an exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) cooler due to thermal and pressure load. Since efficiency and capability of the heat exchanger are mainly dependent on net heat transferring area of the EGR cooler system, the tube inside the system has a numerous dimples on the surface. Thus for finite element analysis, firstly the dimple-typed tube is modeled as a plain element without the dimple, and then the equivalent thermal conductivities and elastic modulus are calculated. This work describes the numerical homogenization procedure of the dimple-typed tube and verifies the equivalent material properties by comparison of a single unit and the actual full model. Finally, the homogenization scheme presented in this study can be efficiently applied to finite element analyses for the thermal stress and deformation behavior of the EGR cooler system with the dimple-typed tube.

This paper presents a velocity-synchronizing control for the multiple axes of an injection unit; based on MBS, a virtual design model has been developed for the multiple-axes servomechanism. Prior to the design of the controller, a linear plant model was derived via open-loop response simulations. To synchronize the motions of the multiple axes, a cross-type synchronizing controller was designed and combined with the PID control to accommodate any parameter mismatches among the multiple axes. From the tracking control simulations, a significant reduction of both velocity-tracking and position-tracking errors was achieved through the use of the proposed control scheme.

The FHX (Forced-draft sodium-to-air Heat Exchanger) employed in the ADHRS (active decay heat removal system) is a shell-and-tube type counter-current flow heat exchanger with M-shape finned-tube arrangement. Liquid sodium flows inside the heat transfer tubes and atmospheric air flows over the finned tubes. The unit is placed in the upper region of the reactor building and has function of dumping the system heat load into the final heat sink, i.e., the atmosphere. Heat is transmitted from the primary cold sodium pool into the ADHRS sodium loop via DHX (decay heat exchanger), and a direct heat exchange occurs between the tube-side sodium and the shell-side air through the FHX tube wall. This paper describes the DHRS and the structural design of the FHX.
