The safety management of the LNG industry which shows huge growth recently, become an essential element. So the necessity of development for the pre-existing LNG storage/transport facility has been shown up and the improvement of information technology (IT) of these days make it possible to synthesize several models for integrated LNG facilitiy safety management system. This system will contains risk analysis/assessment technology, explosion, leakage and diffusion model construction technology, real-time monitoring and fault diagnosis technology, and reliability progression technology of process information through data reconciliation. The final integrated safety management system will contribute the increase of LNG industry's safety and exportation of technique.

Analytical modeling of photovoltaic power systems has been receiving significant attentions in recent years in that it is easy to apply for prediction of its dynamics and fault detection and diagnosis in advanced engineering technologies. This paper presents a novel probabilistic modeling approach for such power systems with a big data sequence. Firstly, we express input/output function of photovoltaic power systems in which solar irradiation and ambient temperature are regarded as input variable and electric power is output variable respectively. Based on this functional relationship, conditional probability for these three random variables(such as irradiation, temperature, and electric power) is mathematically defined and its estimation is accomplished from ratio of numbers of all sample data to numbers of cases related to two input variables, which is efficient in particular for a big data sequence of photovoltaic powers systems. Lastly, we predict the output values from a probabilistic model of photovoltaic power systems by using the expectation theory. Two case studies are carried out for testing reliability of the proposed modeling methodology in this paper.

Machine tool state monitoring is a process that automatically detects the states of machine. In the manufacturing process, the efficiency of machining and the quality of the product are affected by the condition of the tool. Wear and broken tools can cause more serious problems in process performance and lower product quality. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system to prevent tool wear and damage during the process so that the tool can be replaced in a timely manner. This paper proposes a method for diagnosing five tool states using a deep learning-based hierarchical convolutional neural network to change tools at the right time. The one-dimensional acoustic signal generated when the machine cuts the workpiece is converted into a frequency-based power spectral density two-dimensional image and use as an input for a convolutional neural network. The learning model diagnoses five tool states through three hierarchical steps. The proposed method showed high accuracy compared to the conventional method. In addition, it will be able to be utilized in a smart factory fault diagnosis system that can monitor various machine tools through real-time connecting.

Nuclear emergency preparedness and response is an essential part to ensure the safety of nuclear power plant (NPP). Key support technologies of nuclear emergency decision-making usually consist of accident diagnosis, source term estimation, accident consequence assessment, and protective action recommendation. Source term estimation is almost the most difficult part among them. For example, bad communication, incomplete information, as well as complicated accident scenario make it hard to determine the reactor status and estimate the source term timely in the Fukushima accident. Subsequently, it leads to the hard decision on how to take appropriate emergency response actions. Hence, this paper aims to develop a method for rapid source term estimation to support nuclear emergency decision making in pressurized water reactor NPP. The method aims to make our knowledge on NPP provide better support nuclear emergency. Firstly, this paper studies how to build a Bayesian network model for the NPP based on professional knowledge and engineering knowledge. This paper presents a method transforming the PRA model (event trees and fault trees) into a corresponding Bayesian network model. To solve the problem that some physical phenomena which are modeled as pivotal events in level 2 PRA, cannot find sensors associated directly with their occurrence, a weighted assignment approach based on expert assessment is proposed in this paper. Secondly, the monitoring data of NPP are provided to the Bayesian network model, the real-time status of pivotal events and initiating events can be determined based on the junction tree algorithm. Thirdly, since PRA knowledge can link the accident sequences to the possible release categories, the proposed method is capable to find the most likely release category for the candidate accidents scenarios, namely the source term. The probabilities of possible accident sequences and the source term are calculated. Finally, the prototype software is checked against several sets of accident scenario data which are generated by the simulator of AP1000-NPP, including large loss of coolant accident, loss of main feedwater, main steam line break, and steam generator tube rupture. The results show that the proposed method for rapid source term estimation under nuclear emergency decision making is promising.
