This paper presents preliminary findings regarding a modeling framework under development for use in a multi-attribute decision model for advanced emergency operating procedures(EOPs). This model provides a means for optimal decision making strategy for advanced emergency operating procedures conceptualizing the dynamic coordination of responsibilities and information in the human system interactions with advanced reactor systems. For the purpose of evaluation of the applicability of this modeling framework, an empirical case study for a post-cooldown strategy during an steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident was carried out. As a result, it was found empirically that the multi-attribute decision model is a useful tool for establishing advanced EOPs that reduce the operator's cognitive and decision making burden during the accident mitigation process.

Korean Next Generation Reactor(KNGR) is a standardized evolutionary Advanced Light Water Reactor design under development Korea Power Company(KEPCO). It incorporates design enhncements such as active and passive advanced design features(ADFs) to increase the plant safety. A Preliminary level 1 Probabilistic Safety Assessment(PSA) has been performed for KNGR to examine the effect of these safety features. The preliminary PSA result shows that it meets the KNGR safety goal on core damage frequency(CDF). The result of this safety assessment shows that the four-train safety systems, and the ADFs such as Passive Secondary Cooling System (PSCS) contributes greatly to the reduction the CDF. Furthermore, several design changes are made or proposed for detailed review based on the PSA insights.

Both Facing Target Sputtering(FTS) and Cylindrical Post-Magnetron Sputtering(CPMS) systems have been degigned in order to form high density plasma and to obtain high deposition rate. However, these two systems have some different applications, and discharge characteristics of these two systems are not well known. In this paper, the discharge characteristics and plasma parameters of both FTS and CPMS systems are studied experimentally. It is found that these two system show some different discharge characteristics under magnetic fields. The plasma density and electron temperature of these two systems are in the range of $10^{10}{\sim}10^{11}[cm^{-3}]$ and $3.5{\sim}5.5[eV]$, respectively.

본 연구에서는 장기전원구성의 수립에 있어서 가정한 시나리오에서 최적해를 찾는 기존의 방법을 탈피하여 건설단가나 연료단가의 변동과 같은 경제성의 변동 및 최대부하의 예측의 불확실성에 대한 외부충격등에 견딜 수 있는 유연성을 정량적으로 고려할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안한다.그 수법으로 Fuzzy 동적계획법을 이용하여 각 대표년도별로 최적전원구성안을 결정하므로써 년도별 전원 구성의 추이를 쉽게 알 수 있고 비선형 멤버쉽함수도 용이하게 고려할 수 있도록 하였다. 여기서는 경제성, 신뢰성, 부하불확실성 및 유연성에 대한 멤버쉽 함수치를 각상태별로 계산하고 Bellman-Zadeh의 최대화 결전과정에 따라 처리하므로서 그 안을 결정하도록 하였다. 본 수법을 우리나라 KEPCO 계통에 적용하여 그 유용성을 검토하였다.

In this paper, we propose a method for mitigating for mitigating the effect of voltage of voltage sag in radial power distribution systems using load transfer switching (LTS). The term of LTS is defined that the weakness load points for voltage sag transfer to the alternative source during the fault clearing practices. The sequenced of proposed LTS method is divided into the search of weakness points for voltage sag using the risk assessment model and transfer behavior of weakness points. The search of weakness point is carried out using the risk assessment model of voltage sag and Monte Carlo simulation method and the historical reliability data in Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) are also used. Through the case studies, we verify the effectiveness of proposed LTS method and present the searching method of effective application points of LTS method using the risk assessment model.

F.I(Fault Indicator) is equipped in automatic switchs for Distibution Automation System(DAS), and plays important role of providing the information for picking out a fault section. The restrictive sentence that F.I doesn't react for the inrush current is in the F.I specification. Nevertheless F.I has sometimes mal-functioned on the DAS in Kang-Dong branch office of KEPCO for latest 2 years. This Paper Proved the causes of the mal-function, and proposed the new F.I specification and operation methods against the mal-function causes.

This paper presents the preliminary results on the application of optical fiber sensor(OFS) for the diagnosis of degradation in the transformer oil. An OFS system using a Mach-Zehnder interferometry technique was built to detect attenuation of acoustic signal produced by discharging. With increasing the number of discharging in the insulation oil, the attenuation of acoustic signal became greater. A strong correlation between electrical and acoustic signal intensities from discharge generated in the transformer oil was confirmed by the results reported here.

We present the implementation of a Lagrangian Relaxation based large scale thermal Unit Commitment problem. The problem is decomposed into thermal subproblem by using Lagrangian multipliers. The thermal subproblem is solved by using dynamic programmmg. we perform a numerical test using the thermal system of KEPCO over a week (168 hours) period. The programming language used for the test program is C. The result is compared with the priority list method.

This paper presents a new approach to large-scale optimal generator maintenance scheduling. To do this, we developed a kind of discrete sensitivity index of each generator by using difference of objective fuction when it is on and off status. Based on the sensitivity value, we applied the conventional priority approach as an optimization method in the order of each generator's sensitivity measure. By applying the developed method, we can efficiently search the state space and dramatically reduce the computation time in a large scale power system.

In the distribution systems, there are generally two sources of transient over-voltages. One is the capacitor switching surge and the other is the lightning surge. This paper is written about the measuring and analysis of switching over-voltages in the 22.9 kV multi-grounded distribution systems. The measurement was performed in the Kochang distribution test line in January, 2000.
