Nowadays, as the increasing functionality and scales of embedded systems, system design grows more complex than before. So verification and simulation of systems become an important facet in hardware-software co-design issues. But it is almost impossible to simulate an embedded system without real hardware implementation or environment communication, especially for control-dominated reactive systems. Therefore, in this paper, we will introduce a GUI environment module generator for integrated Esterel\C++ simulation. By generating the GUI modeling environment, we can simulate and verify the whole embedded system conveniently.

Two GOS (Generalized Observer Scheme) type Fault Detection Isolation Schemes (FDIS), employing the bank of unknown input functional observers (UIFO) as a residual generator, are proposed to make the practical use of the multiple observer based FDIS. The one is IFD (Instrument Fault Detection) scheme and the other is PFD (Process Fault Detection) scheme. A design method of UIFO is suggested for robust residual generation and reducing the size of the observer bank. Several design objectives that can be achieved by the FDI schemes and the design methods to meet the objectives are described. An IFD system is constructed for the Boeing 929 Jetfoil boat system to show the effectiveness of the propositions. Major contributions of this paper are two folds. Firstly, the proposed UIFO approaches considerably reduce the size of residual generator in the GOS type FDI systems. Secondly, the FDI schemes, in addition to the basic functions of the conventional observer-based FDI schemes, can reconstruct the failed signal or give the estimates of fault magnitude that can be used for compensating fault effects. The schemes are directly applicable to the design of a fault tolerant control systems.

The market for distributed power generation based on renewable energy is increasing, particularly for standalone mini-grid applications in developing countries with limited energy resources. Stand-alone power systems (SAPS) are of special interest combined with renewable energy design in areas not connected to the electric grid. Traditionally, such systems have been powered by diesel engine generator sets (DEGS), but also hybrid systems with photovoltaic and/or wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are becoming quite common nowadays. Hybrid energy systems can now be used to generate energy consumed in remote areas and stand-alone microgrids. This paper describes the design, simulation and feasibility study of a hybrid energy system for a stand-alone power system. A simulated model is developed to investigate the design and performance of stand-alone hydrogen renewable energy systems. The analysis presented here is based on transient system simulation program (TRNSYS) with realistic ventilation load of a large store. Design of a hybrid energy system is site specific and depends on the resources available and the load demand.

This paper presents the development of an end-to-end numerical simulator for signal design of the next generation global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The GNSS services are an essential element of modern human life, becoming a core part of national infra-structure. Several countries are developing or modernizing their own positioning and timing system as their demand, and South Korea is also planning to develop a Korean Positioning System (KPS) based on its own technology, with the aim of operation in 2034. The developed simulator consists of three main units such as a signal generator, a channel unit, and a receiver. The signal generator is constructed based on the actual navigation satellite payload model. For channels, a simple Gaussian channel and land mobile satellite (LMS) multipath channel environments are implemented. A software receiver approach based on a commercial GNSS receiver model is employed. Through the simulator proposed in this paper, it is possible to simulate the entire transceiver chain process from signal generation to receiver processing including channel effect. Finally, numerical simulation results for a simple example scenario is analyzed. The use of the numerical signal simulator in this paper will be ideally suited to design a new navigation signal for the upcoming KPS by reducing the research and development efforts, tremendously.

The steam generator feedwater and level control system is designed by two steps of the feedwater control design and the feedback loop controller design. The feedwater sen system is designed by the optimal LQR/LQG approach and then is modified by the LTR method to recover the robustness. The plant characteristics are subject to change with the power variation and these dynamic properties are considered in the design of the feedback controller. All the designs are made in the continuous domain and are digitalized by applying the proper sampling period. The system is simulated for the two cases of power increase and decrease. From the results of simulation, it is found that the controller constants would rather be invariable during the power increase, while for the case of power decrease they should be changed with the power variation to keep the system stability.

Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is composed by flywheel generating rotating potential energy and motor/generator set charging and discharging electric potential energy. The flywheel and motor/generator is connected by rotating shaft. And torque characteristics of motor/generator part can influence charging and mechanical traits of FESS. This paper analyze about motor/generator design method of 5 [kWh] FESS and torque ripple, harmonic effects by change of slots. At First, this paper proposes a method to estimate the flywheel size and the rotor size of the motor from the the rotational kinetic energy by inertia of FESS. The number of induction motor rotor slots for torque ripple reduction in the high speed operation region is selected. This paper performs to reduce the noise and vibration of the flywheel composed of coaxial with motor/generator and flywheel and realize the high efficiency.

Many companies have tried to develop wind power generators with a larger capacity, smaller size and lighter weight. High temperature superconducting (HTS) generators are more suitable for wind power systems because they can reduce volume and weight compared with conventional generators. However, the HTS generator has problems such as huge vacuum vessel and the difficulty of repairing the HTS field coils. These problems can be overcome through the modularization of the HTS field coil. The HTS module coil require a current leads (CLs) for deliver DC current, which causes a large heat transfer load. Therefore, CLs should be designed optimally for reducing the conduction and Joule heat loads. This paper deals with a structural design and thermal analysis of a module coil for a 750 kW-class HTS generator. The conduction and radiation heat loads of the module coils were analysed using a 3D finite element method program. As a result, the total thermal load was less than the cooling capacity of the cryo-cooler. The design results can be effectively utilized to develop a superconducting generator for wind power generation systems.
