As design of very large circuits is made possible by rapid development of VLSI technologies, efficient fault simulation is needed. Ingeneral, fault simulation requires many computer resources. As general-purpose multiprocessors become more common and affordable, these seem to be an attractive and effective alternative for fault simulation. Efficient fault simulation of synchronous sequential circuits has been reported to be attainably by using a linear iterative array model for such a circuit, and combining parallel fault simulation with russogate fault simulation. Such fault simulation algorithm is parallelized on a general-purpose multiprocessor with shard memory for acceleration of fault simulation. Through the experimenal study, the effect of the number of processors on speed-up of simulation, processor utilization, and the effect of multiprocessor hardware on simulation performance are studied. Some results for experiments with benchmark circuits are shown.

The software reliability growth model(SRGM) has been developed in order to evaluate such measures as remaining fault number, fault rate, and reliability for the developing stage software. Most of the study literatures assumed that this detecting efficiency was perfect. However the actual fault detecting is generally imperfect, and widely known to many persons. It is not easy to develop and remove the fault existing in the software because the fault finding is difficult, and the exact solving method also not easy, and new fault may be introduced depending on the tester's capability. There, the fault removing efficiency influences the software reliability growth or developing cost of software. It is a very useful measure throughout the developing stage, much helpful for the developer to evaluate the debugging efficiency, and evaluate additional workload. Hence, the study for the imperfect debugging is important in point of software reliability and cost. This paper proposes that the fault debugging is imperfect and new fault may be introduced for the developing software during the developing stage.

In this study, it is demonstrated that how the effect of the Near Fault Ground Motion affects the response of the structure. Considering the general characteristic of Near Fault Ground Motion the characteristics of Near Fault Ground Motions is analysed by elastic response spectrums, and the inelastic response spectrum is evaluated with the ductility and the yield strength to consider the inelastic behavior which couldn't be simulated through the elastic response spectrum. The result of this study shows that the effect of Near Fault Ground Motion should be considered in the long period range of long span structures but the domestic seismic design code was developed based on Far Fault Ground Motions, so the effects of Near Fault Ground Motions, which is very serious especially in large structures with a long period, are not considered. Therefore, the effect of the Near Fault Ground Motion has to be examined especially in the seismic performance evaluation of long period structure.

This paper presents a systematic investigation of the fault-mode behaviors of matrix converter systems. Knowledge about converter behaviors after fault occurrence is important from the standpoint of reliable system design, protection and fault-tolerant control. Converter behaviors have been, in detail, examined with both qualitative and quantitative approaches for key fault types, such as switch open-circuited faults and switch short-circuited faults. Investigating the fault-mode behaviors of matrix converters reveals that converter operation with switch short-circuited faults leads to overvoltage stresses as well as overcurrent stresses on other healthy switching components. On the other hand, switch open-circuited faults only result in overvoltage to other switching components. This study can be used to predict fault-mode converter behaviors and determine additional stresses on remaining power circuit components under fault-mode operations.

This paper presents research about improvement of fault detection algorithm in FRTU on the feeder of distribution system. FRTU(Feeder Remote Terminal Unit) is applied to fault detection schemes for phase fault, ground fault, and cold load pickup and Inrush restraint functions distinguish the fault current and the normal load current. FRTU is occurred FI(Fault Indicator) when current is over pick-up value also inrush current is occurred FRTU indicate FI. Discrete wavelet transform(DWT) analysis gives the frequency and time-scale information. The neural network system as a fault detector was trained to discriminate inrush current from the fault status by a gradient descent method. In this paper, fault detection is improved using voltage monitoring system with DWT and neural network. These data were measured in actual 22.9kV distribution system.

There is few study which automatically diagnoses the fault from ship's monitored data. The bigger control and monitoring system is. the more important fault diagnosis and maintenance is to reduce damage caused by system fault. This paper proposes fault diagnosis system using a correlation analysis algorithm which is able to diagnose and forecast the fault from monitored data and is composed of fault detection knowledge base and fault diagnosis knowledge base. For all kinds of ship's engine room monitored data are classified with combustion subsystem, heat exchange subsystem and electric motor and pump subsystem, To verify capability of fault detection, diagnosis and prediction, FMS(Fault Management System) is developed by C++. Simulation by FMS is carried out with population data set made by the log book data of 2 months duration from a large full container ship of H shipping company.

In this paper, we analyzed the operational characteristics of the fault current limiting according to the amplitude of the fault current for the transformer type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). If the fault current happens, the superconducting element connected to the secondary coil is occurred quench and the fault current is limited. When the larger fault current occurs, the superconducting element connected to the third coil is occurred additional quench and the peak fault current is limited. We found that the fault current can be more effectively controlled through the analysis of the fault current limiting and the short-circuit tests.

This paper studies islanding detection distributed of distributed generation(DG). The study of islanding detection has been disconnected DG when power islanding was detected but fault type wasn't distingish. Nearby feeder fault the fault of feeder that not interconnected DG, is a little affect DG and distribution system. Therefore DG not need to disconnect distribution system. We studied islanding detection algorithm considering fault location.

This paper suggests an application method for a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using an evaluation index to estimate the risk regarding the short-circuit capacity of the circuit breaker (CB). Recently, power distribution systems have become more complex to ensure that supply continuously keeps pace with the growth of demand. However, the mesh or loop network power systems suffer from a problem in which the fault current exceeds the short-circuit capacity of the CBs when a fault occurs. Most case studies on the application of the SFCL have focused on its development and performance in limiting fault current. In this study, an analysis of the application method of an SFCL considering the risk of the CB's short-circuit capacitor was carried out in situations when a fault occurs in a loop network power system, where each line connected with the fault point carries a different current that is above or below the short-circuit capacitor of the CB. A loop network power system using PSCAD/EMTDC was modeled to investigate the risk ratio of the CB and the effect of the SFCL on the reduction of fault current through various case studies. Through the risk evaluations of the simulation results, the estimation of the risk ratio is adequate to apply the SFCL and demonstrate the fault current limiting effect.
