In the hazardous areas where explosive liquids, vapors and gases exist, electrical apparatus/equipment should have explosion-proof construction. The consuming of liquefied natural gas(LNG) has markedly increased in the industrial field, especially in aspect of some thermoprocessing equipment, boiler, dryer, furnace, annealer, kiln, regenerative thermal oxidizer(RTO) and so on. Because it has many merits, clean fuel, safety, no transportation/storage facility and so on. It is strongly recommend that the classification of hazards has to be decided to prevent and protect explosion which may occur in thermoprocessing equipment. In this paper, the operated thermoprocessing equipments in industrial area investigated and explosion risk assessment about LNG leakage from its facilities was performed through numerical calculation and computer simulation. Finally, we suggest the systemic/technical approach for safety assessments of thermoprocessing equipments consumed LNG fuel which are specially subjected to classification of hazardous area.

In this paper, reduced-order $H_{\infty}$ robust controller is designed for the drum-type boiler system. From the known nonlinear dynamic model, a linearized multivariable model is obtained. To reduce order of robust controller, observer-based proper $H_{\infty}$ compensator is designed. The designed controller has robust property against the influence of sensor noise, system parameter variation and model uncertainty. A good Performance of the designed controller is shown by simulation.

Ondol heating, a kind of radiant floor heating, is a main method used in housing units in Korea. Building energy simulation including ondol and relevant facilities has not been performed due to its complexity. For evaluating energy consumption and indoor temperature variation, a new method should be proposed. At the present work, a dynamic simulation on ondol heating was tried by combining TRNSYS and EES. Characteristic functions for a pump, hot water coils and a gas boiler were simultaneously solved by EES, and calculated flow rates and supply temperature of hot water were provided as inputs of the active layer of TYPE 56 in TRNSYS. The results by the simulation on a typical housing unit in Korea shows a good trend in a viewpoint of actual behavior of ondol heating.

An adaptive predictive control for steam-reforming plant which consist of a steam-gas reformer and a waste heat steam-boiler was studied by using MIMO bilinear model. The simulation experiments of the process identification were performed by using linear and bilinear models. From the simulation results it was found that the bilinear model represented the dynamic behavior of a steam-reforming plant very well. ARMA model was used in the process identification and the adaptive predictive control. To verify the performance and effectiveness of the adaptive predictive controller proposed in this study the simulation results of steam-reforming plant control based on bilinear model were compared to those of linear model. The simulation results showed that the adaptive predictive controller based on bilinear model provides better performance than those of linear model.

Control algorithms for the absorption air conditioning system may be developed by suing dynamic models of the system. The simplified effective dynamic models, which can predict the dynamic behaviors of the system, may help the development of effective control algorithms for the system. In this study, a dynamic simulation program for the absorption air conditioning system was developed. Dynamic models for an absorption chiller, a cooling tower, an air handling unit, a boiler, a three way valve, a controller, and a duct were developed and programed. Control algorithms for the absorption chiller, the cooling tower, and the air handling unit were selected, and analyzed to show the effectiveness of dynamic models. From the simulation results, it may be concluded that this simulation program may be effectively used for the development of optimal control algorithms of the absorption air conditioning system.

This paper presents the optimal short-term operation scheduling by using on cogeneration systems connected with auxiliary equipments. Simulation is performed in case of the bottomming cycle which generates the demand heat preferentially. Heat storage tank, electricity charger, auxiliary boiler and independent generator are considered as auxiliary equipments connected to cogeneration systems. The results of simulation show the auxiliary equipments can be effeciently operated in case of the bottomming cycle by modeling proposed in this paper. The effectiveness of operation scheduling gained by application of fuzzy theory is evaluated by detailed comparison and investigation of the simulation results.

현재의 발전소 보일러 제어방식은 프로세스 성격에 따라 제어루프의 상태변수들을 근간으로 세부적인 독립된 제어루프별로 제어를 시행하는 개별 루프를 채택하고 있다. 발전소에서 사용하는 PID제어 방식은 각 부시스템들의 상태변수, 출력변수가 다른 부시스템의 선행신호가 되거나 기준신호가 되어 피드백제오, 피드포워드 제어와 캐스케이드 제어 등의 신호로 작용한다. 선행신호와 상태 궤환 신호는 다른 부시스템의 상태변수를 측정함에 의하여 결정되며, 상호연결 함수는 경험에 의한 함수 설정에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 화력발전소 보일러 제어시스템을 플랜트 변수들 사이의 인과관계를 표현하는 신호흐름도의 보일러 모델과 실제 발전소에 적용되고 있는 드럼 수위 제어기에 대해 기술한다. 그리고 현장에서 취득한 운전데이터를 이용한 보일러 드럼수위 제어계통의 모델링에 관한 내용에 대해 기술하고, 마지막으로 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의한 제어루프의 모의실험 결과를 통해 제어기의 설계와 제어루프의 효용성을 보이고자 한다.

Thermal power generation accounts for the highest percentage of domestic power generation, among which coal-fired boiler generation accounts for the highest percentage. Coal boilers generate harmful substances and fine dust during coal combustion and have a serious effect on air pollution. So, fluidized-bed boilers have been introduced as eco-friendly coal boilers. It uses a fluid medium which affect the combustion temperature of coal. Because of it fluidized-bed boilers emit less pollutants than original one. Water-wall tubes play an important role in this fluidized bed boiler. Due to the fluid medium, the wall damage is more severe than the existing boiler. However, there is no quantitative maintenance technique in Korea yet. Remote field eddy current testing is a non-destructive evaluation technique that is often used for inspection of inner and outer wall of tube. it can inspect with non-contact and high speed. However, it is an inspection that proceeds from inside the pipe, and the water-wall tube is not able to enter the interior. In this study, we designed and simulated an external remote field eddy current sensor suitable for water-wall tube of a fluidized - bed boiler using simulations. By obtaining a signal similar to the existing remote field eddy current test, the criteria for the external remote field eddy current sensor design can be presented.

For the purpose of the good tracking to variable load demands of the thermal power plant, a decentralized multilevel control(DMC) scheme is presented. It is applied to the drum type boiler-turbine system which is simplified from Boryung T/P #1,2 model[4]. A linearized model is decomposed into three subsystems by means of linear transformation. Then the DMC based on such subsystem is designed. Simulation using Matlab-Simulink shows that the proposed algorithm works very well to the large step change of power demand.

This paper presents a performance improvement of distributed fuzzy control system by changing the triangular membership function widths according to the input variables. The control region consists of 4 parts according to the sign of error and change of error terms. Each control part is operated by the suitable nonuniform triangular membership function. Through the simulation for the boiler-turbin model of a fossil power plant using decentralized contol, it is verified this proposal
