There are three main devices such as boiler producing steam, turbine driving generator and generator producing electricity. An electrical generator in power plant is driven and maintained its speed at rated by steam turbine which is coupled into generator directly. Turbine auxiliary devices such as condenser, deaerator, feed water heater, gland steam condenser, pump recirculation equipment, feed water pump, and so on should be operated well so that the steam turbine exert its maximum efficiency. There are many control loop such as hot well level and condenser recirculation, deaerator level, pegging steam pressure, feed water heater level, feed water pump recirculation. In this paper condenser level control and deaerator level control are going to be described.

In this paper, an all-metal domestic induction heating (IH) system that can quickly identify ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic pots considering temperature changes in the working coil is designed. Load modeling is performed after analyzing the parameters of the pot material and the central misalignment of the working coil. To improve the performance and stability of the all-metal IH cooking heater, a power curve-fitting model is used to design a control system that quickly responds to load parameter fluctuations. In addition, a power control algorithm is established to compensate for the reference value by reflecting the increase in working coil temperature during heating of the non-ferromagnetic pot. The validity of the proposed control algorithm for the all-metal IH is verified by experiments using a 3.2 kW all-metal IH cooking heater.

The work presented here is a design and an implementation of PID control system to regulate a supply duct outlet air temperature in PEM (Personal Environment Module). In PEM, the air is heated to the required temperature while it flows through the supply duct without any mixing chamber. This makes the control of air temperature in PEM difficult. A simulation is done first to understand the relationship between a temperature distribution in working area, flow rate and the outlet air temperature of PEM. Then a linear dynamic model of heating process in PEM is derived. P, PD and PID type control systems, to provide the rapid response without overshoot and saturation in heater command voltage, are designed using a linear model obtained. Experimentally obtained data shows that the control system satisfies the design criteria and works properly in controlling the supply duct outlet air temperature.

In this paper, one general approach is proposed for the design of power system that can be applicable for next generation LEO satellite application. The power system consists of solar panels, battery, and power control and distribution unit(PCDU). The PCDU contains solar array modules, battery interface modules, low-voltage power distribution modules, high-voltage distribution modules, heater power distribution modules, on-board computer interface modules, and internal DC/DC converter modules. The PCDU plays roles of protection of battery against overcharge by active control of solar array generated power, distribution of unregulated electrical power via controlled outlets to bus and instrument units, distribution of regulated electrical power to selected bus and instrument units, and provision of status monitoring and telecommand interface allowing the system and ground operate the power system, evaluate its performance and initiate appropriate countermeasures in case of abnormal conditions. We review the functional schemes of the main constitutes of the PCDU such as the battery interface module, the auxiliary supply module, solar array regulators with maximum power point tracking(MPPT) technology, heater power distribution modules, spacecraft unit power distribution modules, and instrument power distribution module.

This study deals with the development of an electrofusion welding machine that is capable of joining plastic pipes using a recently developed electrofusion fitting. This fitting has built-in conductive plastics that are used to weld the joint together as a heating element. In order to explain the mechanism of the new machine, 1) the resistance characteristics of the heating element were explained, 2) the method of electric welding that uses the electrofusion fitting was described, and 3) the method of power supply based on controlling the firing angle was explained. A control system for an intelligent electrofusion welding machine was proposed. This system has the ability to recognize the diameter of an electrofusion fitting using a lookup-table based on the difference of resistance curves according to fitting types, and it is able to weld the fittings regardless of the ambient temperature. A new algorithm was developed to control the power of electric welding through the recognition of feature points from the resistance curve of the heating element. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed welding machine, tests involving the welding of 16 mm- and 20 mm-type fittings were carried out. Examining the welding results, we concluded that the proposed welding machine will offer high productivity and reliability in the field of electrofusion welding.

On-orbit thermal environment test of KOMPSAT was performed in early 1999. An analysis of the test data are addressed in this paper. For the thermal-environmental simulation of spacecraft bus, an artificial heating through the radiator zones and onto some critical heat-dissipating electronic boxes was made by Absorbed-heat Flux Method. Test data obtained in terms of temperature history were reduced into flight heater duty cycles and converted into the total electrical power required for spacecraft thermal control. Verification result of flight heaters dedicated to the bus thermal control is presented. Additionally, an exhaustive heating-control process for maintaining the spacecraft thermally safe and for realistic simulation of the orbital-thermal environment during the test are graphically shown. Qualitative suggestions to post-test model correlation are given in consequency of the analysis.

In this study, a miniature thin film-patterned heater was fabricated on a silicon substrate using semiconductor process technology and the thermal characteristics of the applied voltage, power, and temperature of the thin film heater were measured and analyzed. The temperature of the thin film pattern heater increased with increasing power, but the temperature increase rate was gradual at high power intervals. The characteristics of the high temperature section of the platinum thin film-patterned heater were analyzed using the heat resistance model under atmospheric and vacuum conditions. The thermal resistance measured in a vacuum atmosphere was 0.79 [K/mW] higher than the heat resistance value 0.69 [K/mW] in air. The temperature of the thin film pattern heater can be maintained at a low power in a vacuum rather than in air, and these results are expected to be utilized in the structural design of a thin film-patterned heater element.

Ac, dc and impulse dielectric strengths of $LN_2$ at 0.1MPa were investigated experimentally, referring to the behavior of thermally induced bubble, which might be generated at quenching condition of immerged-cooling superconducting devices. The experimental results show that the bubble shape under electric field stress depends significantly on the applied voltage waveform. With ac voltage, the breakdown voltage of $LN_2$ falls suddenly near to one of the saturated gas at the threshold heater power of boiling onset. In control to this, the reduction of impulse breakdown voltage with heater peter is gradual and the time to breakdown depends on the existence of thermal bubble. These breakdown characteristics can be explained satisfactorily by the bubble behavior under electric fields.
