고리 1호기 원전 수명 연장을 위한 가압열충격(Pressurized Thermal Shock : PTS) 해석은 확률론적 안전성 평가 방법에 따라 수행된다. 본 연구는 가압열충격 상세 해석 연구의 일환으로 가압열충격 해석을 위한 계통해석시 사용되는 최적 평가(Best Estimate) 방법과 기존의 PCT(Peak Cladding Temperature) 관점의 해석에 사용되는 결정론적 안전성 평가 방법간의 해석 방법론 차이에 의한 열수력 거동의 상이점을 평가하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 1998년 설치 예정인 고리 1호기 교체 증기발생기(Replacement Steam Generator ; RSG) 안전성 분석 보고서$^{[1]}$ 의 주증기관 파단사고 해석 결과와 동일한 파단 크기 및 운전 출력에 대해 최적 평가 방법론에 따라 해석된 본 연구의 해석 결과를 비교, 평가하였다. 해석 결과 전출력 소형 주증기관 파단 사고에서는 터빈 유량 모델링 및 반응도 계수, 고온 영출력 대형 파단 사고에서는 가압기 모델, 반응도 계수 및 정지여유도가 해석 방법론에 따른 열수력 거동의 차이에 영향이 큰 것으로 평가되었다

Fault detection technique for photovoltaic power systems is significant to dramatically reduce economic damage in industrial fields. This paper presents a novel fault detection approach using Fourier neural networks and stochastic decision making strategy for photovoltaic systems. We achieve neural modeling to represent its nonlinear dynamic behaviors through a gradient descent based learning algorithm. Next, a general likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is derived for constructing a decision malling mechanism in stochastic fault detection. A testbed of photovoltaic power systems is established to conduct real-time experiments in which the DC power line communication (DPLC) technique is employed to transfer data sets measured from the photovoltaic panels to PC systems. We demonstrate our proposed fault detection methodology is reliable and practicable over this real-time experiment.

월성 1호기 격납건물에 대하여 극한내압하중에 대한 확률론적 취약도 평가를 수행하였다. 격납건물 성능의 불확실성은 가동중 검사 결과를 통해 얻어진 재료 물성치 중앙값과 텐던 긴장력 중앙값을 적용하여 고려하였다. 격납건물은 개구부를 고려하여 3차원 유한요소로 모델링하였으며, 확률론적 취약도 평가를 위하여 대규모의 비선형 유한요소 해석 모델을 적용하기에 적합한 효율적인 취약도 평가 기법을 개발하였다. 월성 1호기 격납건물에 대한 취약도 평가 결과, 벽체 중단부가 극한내압발생으로 인한 방사능물질 누출에 가장 취약한 것으로 나타났으며, 중앙값 성능은 약 55psi, 고신뢰도 저파괴 파괴확률값인 HCLPF(High Confidence Low Probability of Failure)는 약 29psi를 나타내었다.

In this paper, the effects of uncertain material constant on the nonlinear behavior of steel frames with semi-rigid joints are examined. As to the probabilistic model, a normal distribution is assumed to simulate the uncertain elastic modulus of steel material. A nonlinear structural analysis program, which can consider both semi-rigidity in joints of the steel frames and uncertainty in the material constant, is developed. Including the geometric, material and connection nonlinearites which are the parameters of nonlinear behavior of steel frames, probabilistic analysis is conducted based on the Monte-Carlo simulation. In the probabilistic analyses, we consider the three different cases for random variables. The deterministic analysis results are shown to be in good agreement with those of the previous research results in the literature. As to the probabilistic analyses, it is observed that the coefficient of variation(COV) of displacements increases as the loading increases, and that the values of COV are dependent on the structural features of the frames.

In recent, the requirements for the safety to the effects of high power electromagnetic wave have been increased along with the development of electricity and electronic equipments. The small sized electronic devices and the various components have been analyzed by using the full-EM simulation and solving a complete set of Maxwell equation. However, the deterministic approach has a drawback and much limitation in the electromagnetic analysis of an electrically large cavity with a high complexity of the structure. In this paper, statistical theory and topological modeling method are combined to analyze the large cavity with a complex structure. In particular, the PWB(Power Balance) method and BLT(Baum-Liu-Tesche) equation are combined and employed to solve the frequency response to the large-scaled cavity with remarkably reduced time-consumption. For instance, a PCB substrate inside box of box are considered as a large structure with a complexity.

Epistemic uncertainty, the lack of knowledge, is often more important than aleatory uncertainty, variability, in estimating reliability of a system. While the probability theory is widely used for modeling aleatory uncertainty, there is no dominant approach to model epistemic uncertainty. Different approaches have been developed to handle epistemic uncertainties using various theories, such as probability theory, fuzzy sets, evidence theory and possibility theory. However, since these methods are developed from different statistics theories, it is difficult to interpret the result from one method to the other. The goal of this paper is to compare different methods in handling epistemic uncertainty in the view point of calculating the probability of failure. In particular, four different methods are compared; the probability method, the combined distribution method, interval analysis method, and the evidence theory. Characteristics of individual methods are compared in the view point of reliability analysis.

In order to overcome the difficulties of quantitative risk analysis such as complexity of model, we propose a systematic methodology for risk quantification of railway system which consists of 6 steps: The identification of risk factors, the determination of major scenarios for each risk factor by using event tree, the development of supplementary fault trees for evaluating branch probabilities, the evaluation of event probabilities, the quantification of risk, and the analysis in consideration of accident situation. In this study, in order to address the feasibility of the propose methodology, this framework is applied to the prototype risk model of nation-wide railway level crossings. And the quantification result based on the data of 2005 in Korea will also be presented.

Due to the difficulties in forecasting the intensity and the source location of tsunami the countermeasures prepared based on the deterministic approach fail to work properly. Thus, there is an increasing demand of the tsunami hazard analyses that consider the uncertainties of tsunami behavior in probabilistic approach. In this paper a fundamental study is conducted to perform the probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) for the tsunamis that caused the disaster to the east coast of Korea. A logic tree approach is employed to consider the uncertainties of the initial free surface displacement and the tsunami height distribution along the coast. The branches of the logic tree are constructed by reflecting characteristics of tsunamis that have attacked the east coast of Korea. The computational time is nonlinearly increasing if the number of branches increases in the process of extracting the fractile curves. Thus, an improved method valid even for the case of a huge number of branches is proposed to save the computational time. The performance of the discrete weight distribution method proposed first in this study is compared with those of the conventional sorting method and the Monte Carlo method. The present method is comparable to the conventional methods in its accuracy, and is efficient in the sense of computational time when compared with the conventional sorting method. The Monte Carlo method, however, is more efficient than the other two methods if the number of branches and the number of fault segments increase significantly.
