The marine transport industry generally applies new technologies later than other transport industries, such as airways and railways. Vessels require efficient operation, and their performance and lifespan depend on the level of maintenance and management. Many studies have shown that corrective maintenance (CM) and time-based maintenance (TBM) have restrictions with respect to enabling efficient maintenance of workload and cost to improve operational efficiency. Predictive maintenance (PdM) is an advanced technology that allows monitoring the condition and performance of a target machine to predict its time of failure and helps maintain the key machinery in optimal working conditions at all times. This study presents the development of a marine predictive maintenance (MPdM; maritime predictive maintenance) method based on applying PdM to the marine environment. The MPdM scheme is designed by considering the special environment of the marine transport industry and the extreme marine conditions. Further, results of the study elaborates upon the concept of MPdM and its necessity to advancing marine transportation in the future.

The 500 MW Korean standard coal-fired power plant is the largest standardized power plant in Korea and has played a pivotal role in domestic power generation for over 20 years. In addition to the aging degradation due to long term operation, the probability of failure of power generation facilities is increasing due to frequent startup and stop caused by the lower utilization rate due to air pollution problem caused by coal-fired power plants. Among them, steam piping plays an important role in transferring high-temperature & pressure steam produced in a boiler to turbine for power generation. In recent years, failure of steam piping of large coal-fired power plant has frequently occurred. Therefore, in this study, failure analysis of high pressure piping weld was conducted. We identify the damage caused by high stress due to abnormal supporting structure of the piping and suggest improved supporting structure to eliminate high stress through microstructure analysis and piping stress analysis to prevent the occurrence of the similar failure of other power plant in the case of repetitive damage to the main steam piping system of the 500 MW Korean standard coal-fired power plant.

There are many kinds of complicated equipments in the chemical plants. So the chemical plants have high possibility of accidents. Hazard analysis is one of the basic tasks to ensure the safety of chemical plants. However, it has many shortcomings. To overcome the problems, there have been attempts to automate this work by utilizing computer technology, particularly knowledge-based technique. However, many of the past approaches are lacking in properties: safeguard consideration, accident diversity, cause and consequence diversity, pathway leading to accidents, and various hazard analysis reasoning. Therefore, in this study, three analysis algorithms were proposed using multimodel approach, and a hazard analysis system, AHA, was developed on G2. The case study was solved with AHA system successfully.

LED navigation light installed on the ship performs a important role to ensure safety and prevent collisions with other ships. LED navigation light is mainly used in the night and within the limited visibility by smoke, rainfall. In particular, LED navigation light installed with a clear understanding. LED navigation light is consist of LED module, a control board, a converter, a Fresnel lens, such as enclosure. Russian Society of LED navigation light (RMRS) of the ship to be delivered by drying at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering requires guaranteed reliable products at below $-52^{\circ}C$. conventional LED navigation light has to ensure quality at $-25{\sim}40^{\circ}C$. So, LED navigation light should ensure a problems of random failure or long time operation. In this paper, we present the current status and future plans of reliability so far.

Rolling stock is the method of railway transportation. Especially, in the subway system which has short headways particularly during the rush hours, even one train's trouble on the main line might influence the whole line. Accordingly, to prevent a train trouble on the main line, high expense is used for the maintenance parts, workforce and facilities, etc. according to the preventive maintenance program. Therefore, in designing a EMU, emphasis should be put on the minimization of trouble and its extending influence on the mainline with the priority of safety and reliability. Seoul subway line 5 is the line that complements the first stage Seoul subway(lines 1,2,3 and 4) and is built deeply with many curved sections causing lots of dust. Studies were made to find out the importance of car design, selection of specifications and continuous maintenance on the basis of the analysis and countermeasure of the line 5 EMU inverter trouble case.

Underground utility tunnels are spaces densely packed with various infrastructure facilities, such as power, telecommunications, and water supply and drainage systems, making internal environment management crucial. An investigation into accident cases and on-site demands in these tunnels revealed that while fires and floods are the most common types of incidents, the demand for real-time condensation prevention and response is frequent according to on-site managers. Condensation occurs due to the difference in humidity and temperature between the inside and outside of the tunnel. Frequent or prolonged condensation can lead to metal pipe corrosion, electrical failures, and reduced equipment lifespan. Therefore, this study developed a control algorithm and monitoring system to prevent condensation in underground utility tunnels. The proposed control algorithm estimates the likelihood of condensation in real-time based on the measured temperature and humidity and suggests appropriate responses for each stage to the managers. Finally, a practical condensation prevention monitoring system was built based on the developed algorithm, verifying the feasibility and applicability of this technology in the field.

This paper introduces a failure analysis procedure that underpins real-time fault prognosis. In the previous study, we developed a systematic eventization procedure which makes it possible to reduce the original data size into a manageable one in the form of event logs and eventually to extract failure patterns efficiently from the reduced data. Failure patterns are then extracted in the form of event sequences by sequence-mining algorithms, (e.g. FP-Tree algorithm). Extracted patterns are stored in a failure pattern library, and eventually, we use the stored failure pattern information to predict potential failures. The two practical case studies (marine diesel engine and SIRIUS-II car engine) provide empirical support for the performance of the proposed failure analysis procedure. This procedure can be easily extended for wide application fields of failure analysis such as vehicle and machine diagnostics. Furthermore, it can be applied to human health monitoring & prognosis, so that human body signals could be efficiently analyzed.

In this paper, the concept of infrared thermography(IRT), the principle of measurement of IRT and how to set up the IR camera for the nondestructive testing are described in detail. Also, its utilization and non-destructive testing(NDT) diagnosis are reviewed. By performing the periodic non-touched WDT through the estimation of thermal patterns related with the temperature for the surface targeted, IRT can be applied to the early prevention of the device failure. For the diagnosis utilization, thermal imaging patterns obtained from IRT for heated blocks with internal defects were estimated through the lion-destructive method and discussed the way of IRT estimation from the analysis of characteristics between material defects and thermal imaging patterns.

초기투자비용의 과다 발생으로 제한적으로 시공되고 있는 지중송전케이블의 역사는 1971년 154kV급 OF케이블이 처음으로 한국전력에 의해 상용운전후 현재에 이르고 있으며, 최근들어 지중케이블에서 발생된 송전선로 고장은 대부분 대형화되고 있어 초창기 시공된 케이블 종류의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 OF 케이블의 현상태를 정확하게 진단하고 각종 현상들을 분석하여 결론을 도출하지 않으면 안된다. 실제 계통에서 운전되고 있는 설비를 철거하여 상태를 판정할 수 있는 여건이 아니기 때문에 케이블의 현상태를 정확하게 분석하기 위해서는 절연유의 분석 등 간접적인 방법을 택하지 않을 수 없다. OF 케이블에 있어서 급유조는 케이블의 성능에 가장 직접적인 영향을 미치는 구성요소이며, 급유조에서 기준치보다 $2{\sim}5$배에 해당되는 이상가스의 발생원인을 파악하여 예방대책을 수립할 수 있게 되었다. 분리기의 용접부분 또는 접합부분에 틈이 생기지 않도록 하고 틈 부위에는 세라믹이나 폴리머등으로 코팅하여 $H_2$가스의 과다 발생을 방지할 수 있었다.
