The worldwide issue of greenhouse gas reduction has recently drawn great attention to carbon capture and storage(CCS). In this study, we developed a 10,000 ton/year pilot injection plant for geological storage of carbon dioxide. Major components of the pilot plant include a pressure pump, a booster pump, and an inline heater to bring liquid carbon dioxide into its supercritical state. The test results show that the pilot plant readily achieves the injection pressure and temperature, showing satisfactory control performance. The overall power consumption is 2,000 ~ 2,500 W, more than 75% of which consumed by the pressure pump. This study will facilitate varied research on greenhouse gas reduction as the only domestically developed system for geological injection.

In this paper, the mathematical model of the underwater discharge system using a linear pump is derived and the suitable opening pattern of a flow control valve which satisfies the discharge performance requirements is obtained through the underwater discharge simulations. The simulation results show that the dynamic characteristics of a projectile are greatly affected by the opening pattern of the flow control valve, however, hardly by the diving depth. It is anticipated that the simulation model can be used to derive the design parameters and analyze the performance of the designed underwater discharge system using a linear pump.

Controlling superheat of indoor units associated with a multi-type heat pump is one of difficult tasks to be addressed. This study suggests a dynamic model of an evaporator based on heat and mass balance. Thermodynamic properties are calculated by a commercial software, Refprop. The model is programmed in MFC Visual C++ for controller interface in real-time mode. The simulation results shows that PI control works for a narrow range of superheat. Beyond the range, the temperature behavior of the refrigerant is quite nonlinear mainly due to phase change. Thus, it is concluded that PI control of superheat has to be supplemented by nonlinear control ideas to avoid saturation and excessive superheat.

Motivated by a recent work, a fuzzy-power-controller(FPC) is designed for the relieving-horsepower control of output variable pump with electrical proportional valve and actually implemented on the industrial excavator. In order to calculate the output power of pump with input of FPC, a linear discrete time model of load system to pump is obtained and the result is applied to control the engine-pump coupled system by software without pressure and flow sensor. The FPC controls the engine and pump coupled system by relieving horsepower control according to the change of load and the running conditions in relieving horsepower control are selected by fuzzy inference engine. A case study is peformed through the construction of the control device and installation on the excavator. It shows that the relieving-horsepower control system with the FPC, as suggested in this paper, is superior to the conventional PID controllers. And also, the excavator, with the FPC, shows that the power-loss of the coupled system is reduced and the running speed of the hydraulic actuator is enhanced.

This study aims to verify the feasibility of design by developing pressure flow-controlled swash plate type pump with the use of SimulationX, a computer analysis program. Developing analysis model based on design drawing data has a cost-saving effect because it is possible to figure out the effectiveness of design through the work and it never falls into repeated inaccuracies in the production process. Analysis model is developed in the following order. First, the structure of each part such as valve and rotating unit which have dynamic factor is analyzed and the modeling of single component is carried out, reflecting drawing data. Second, the modeling of pump assembly is carried out with the combination of each analysis model and a work is conducted to determine whether the modeling can perform pressure flow control function according to load condition smoothly based on design intent. At the end of the modeling process, the feasibility of design is verified by showing the parts which are moving as expected mechanism.

The water level control system of the steam generator in a pressurized water reactor and its control problems are analysed. In this work the stable control strategy during the low power operation and transient states is studied. To solve the problem, a fuzzy logic control method is applied as a basic algorithm of the controller. The control algorithm is based on the operator's knowledges and the experiences of manual operation for water level control at the compact nuclear simulator set up in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. From a viewpoint of the system realization, the control variables and rules are established considering simpler tuning and the input-output relation. The control strategy includes the dynamic tuning method and employs a substitutional information using the bypass valve opening instead of incorrectly measured signal at the low flow rate as the fuzzy variable of the flow rate during the pressure control mode of the steam generator. It also involves the switching algorithm between the control valves to suppress the perturbation of water level. The simulation results show that both of the fine control action at the small level error and the quick response at the large level error can be obtained and that the performance of the controller is improved.

The numerical study on the waterhammer was carried out for the intake pumping station of the metropolitan water supply 6th stage project. Because the waterhammer problems as a result of the pump power failure were the most important, these situations were carefully investigated. The surge tank and the stand pipes effectively protected the tunnels md the downstream region of pipeline from the pressure surge. In case the moment of inertia of the pump and motor was above $5080\;kg{\cdot}m^2$, the column separation did not occur in the pipeline between the pumping station and the inlet of 1st tunnel. As the moment of inertia increased, the pressure surges decreased in the pipeline conveying raw water. The pump control valve was chosen as the main surge suppression device for the intake pumping station. After power failure, the valve disc should be rapidly closed in 2.5 seconds and controlled the final closure to 15 seconds by the oil dashpot. If the slamming happened to the pump control valve, there was some danger of this system damaging. As the reverse flow through the valve increased, the upsurge extremely increased.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) requires cooling system to maintain the proper operating temperature(about $65^{\circ}C{\sim}75^{\circ}C$) because the efficiency and power are affected by operating temperature. In order to retain the operating temperature of PEMFC, cooling system and coolant control logic are needed. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS) is one of effective methods to study and evaluate control algorithm. In this paper, the HILS system was designed to study the coolant control algorithm. The models of HILS system consisted of PEMFC, heat exchanger, and external environment associated with temperature. The hardwares in HILS system are 3-way valves, pumps, and a heat exchanger. The priority control and the control target temperature were investigated to improve the control performance using HILS. The 3-way valve in $1^{st}$ cooling circuit was selected as priority control target. The under limit value of $2^{nd}$ 3-way valve set as a function of PEMFC power and $2^{nd}$ circuit coolant temperature to correct temperature control performance. As a result, the temperature of PEMFC is stably controlled.
