대부분의 정유 및 화학 시설에는 정전 등 갑작스러운 공정 정지 등의 문제로 인한 다량의 가스를 방출해야 하는 비상상황 발생에 대비하여 공정시설의 압력 상승을 완화하기 위해 설계된 플레어 시스템을 가지고 있다. 하지만 플레어 시스템의 불꽃 상승은 가시적 공해로 인한 공장 주변 주민들의 민원을 유발하며, 회사에서는 경제적 손실이 발생하므로 이에 대한 상시 관리가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 플레어 시스템의 최적 운영방안을 도출하기 위하여 두 가지 항목에 대해 진단 및 분석을 진행하였다. 첫째, 불꽃 높이 상승 원인을 확인하기 위해 음향누출 측정기를 이용하여 안전밸브 및 압력 조정 밸브에서의 가스 누설을 탐지하였다. 둘째, 불꽃 불안전성 원인 파악을 위해 밀봉 드럼에 대해 CFD 모사 및 모형 제작실험을 통한 맥동 현상 발생을 진단하였으며 밀봉 드럼은 정상이며, 안전밸브의 4.3% 및 압력 조정 밸브의 10%에서 누설을 확인함으로써 비정상적인 불꽃 발생의 원인을 도출하였다. 본 연구결과에서 제시되는 사항은 플레어 시스템을 보유한 모든 회사에 적용이 가능하므로 이를 통한 민원 발생 및 제품손실의 방지가 기대된다.

Most of feedback shift controllers developed in the past have fixed control parameters tuned by experts using a trial and error method. Therefore, those controllers cannot satisfy the best control performance under various driving conditions. To improve the shift quality under various driving conditions, a new self-organizing controller(SOC) that has an optimal control performance through self-learning of driving conditions and driver's pattern is designed in this study. The proposed SOC algorithm for the shift controller uses simple descent method and has less calculation time than complex fuzzy relation, thus makes real-time control passible. PCSV (Pressure Control Solenoid Valve) control current is used as a control input, and turbine speed of the torque converter is used indirectly to monitor the transient torque as a feedback signal, which is more convenient to use and economic than the torque signal measured directoly by a torque sensor. The results of computer simulations show that an apparent reduction of shift-transient torque is obtained through the process of each run without initial fuzzy rules and a good control performance in the shift-transient torque is also obtained.

본 연구에서는 경제 내 갑작스런 구조적 변화가 있을 경우의 최적 통화정책 준칙을 살펴본다. 연구의 첫 단계에서는 Markov 상태전환모형을 이용하여 미국 주택가격 상승률의 추이에 두 개의 상이한 상태가 존재함을 보인다. 식별된 두 개의 상태 중 하나는 실질 이자율이 상승시 주택 가격 상승률이 하락한다는 면에서 '통상적'인 상태로 보인다. 반면, 다른 상태 하에서는 주택가격 상승률과 실질 이자율이 양의 상관관계를 갖는다는 면에서 '이례적'인 상태라 할 수 있다. 연구의 두 번째 단계에서는 주택시장에 이와 같은 두 개의 상태가 존재할 경우 중앙은행의 최적통화준칙을 살펴본다. '통상적' 상태 하에서는 인플레이션 압력에 반대로 대응해야 하는 반면, '이례적' 상태에서는 인플레이션 압력을 수용(accommodate)해야 한다는 면에서 중앙은행의 최적통화정책은 비대칭적이다. 또한, 미래 상태에 대한 불확실성이 있을 경우 더욱 보수적으로 통화정책을 운용해야 한다는 결과가 도출된다.

In the thermal power plant, there are six manipulated variables: main steam flow, feedwater flow, fuel flow, air flow, spray flow, and gas recirculation flow. There are five controlled variables: generator output, main steam pressure, main steam temperature, exhaust gas density, and reheater steam temperature. Therefore, the thermal power plant control system is a multinput and output system. In the control system, the main steam temperature is typically regulated by the fuel flow rate and the spray flow rate, and the reheater steam temperature is regulated by the gas recirculation flow rate. However, strict control of the steam temperature must be maintained to avoid thermal stress. Maintaining the steam temperature can be difficult due to heating value variation to the fuel source, time delay changes in the main steam temperature versus changes in fuel flow rate, difficulty of control of the main steam temperature control and the reheater steam temperature control system owing to the dynamic response characteristics of changes in steam temperature and the reheater steam temperature, and the fluctuation of inner fluid water and steam flow rates during the load-following operation. Up to the present time, the Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller has been used to operate this system. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the gain of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error. This paper focuses on the characteristic comparison of the PID controller and the modified 2-DOF PID Controller (Two-Degrees-Freedom Proportional-Integral-Derivative) on the DCS (Distributed Control System). The method is to design an optimal controller that can be operated on the thermal generating plant in Seoul, Korea. The modified 2-DOF PID controller is designed to enable parameters to fit into the thermal plant during disturbances. To attain an optimal control method, transfer function and operating data from start-up, running, and stop procedures of the thermal plant have been acquired. Through this research, the stable range of a 2-DOF parameter for only this system could be found for the start-up procedure and this parameter could be used for the tuning problem. Also, this paper addressed whether an intelligent tuning method based on immune network algorithms can be used effectively in tuning these controllers.

The studies on the electronic control fuel injection system for a DI diesel engine have done for reducing the exhaust emission and improving fuel consumption. The electronic control fuel injection system is classified into a common rail system, a unit injector system and a high pressure injection system. The characteristics of these systems are largely depends on the operating characteristics of its solenoid that have high speed on-off operation. In order to improve these characteristics of fuel injection system, it is necessary to design the optimal shape of solenoid and select the input method of its power source. It was proposed HELENOID, COLENOID, DISOLE, and Multipole Solenoid in the studies of design for the optimal shape of solenoid. The studies on the energizing method, input method for power of solenoid were dealt with the conventional energizing method, the chopping method and the pre-energizing method. In order to find out the high response characteristics of solenoid, it is necessary to test the performance of optimally designed solenoid with a new energizing method. In this paper, the solenoid of multi-pole type with plat armature and its power control unit to control input current by the chopping method designed, and its response tests were performed according to its energizing conditions. As a result, the maximum input current for solenoid was controlled by the period of first stage exciting current and chopping duty ratio of control stage exciting current, and the fastest "on" time was able to get 0.46ms. The conditions of fastest "on" time was 0.3ms for first stage exciting current, 0.16ms for control exciting current and 75% for chopping duty ratio.

The object of this study is to develop a mathematical model of the hemodialysis system including the mechanism of solute kinetics, water exchange and also cardiovascular dynamics. The cardiovascular system model used in this study simulates the short-term transient and steady-state hemodynamic responses such as hypotension and disequilibrium syndrome (which are main complications to hemodialysis patients) during hemodialysis. It consists of a 12 lumped-parameter representation of the cardiovascular circulation connected to set-point models of the arterial baroreflexes, a kinetic model (hemodialysis system model) with 3 compartmental body fluids and 2 compartmental solutes. We formulate mathematically this model in terms of an electric analog model. All resistors and most capacitors are assumed to be linear. The control mechanisms are mediated by the information detected from arterial pressoreceptors, and they work on systemic arterial resistance, heart rate, and systemic venous unstressed volume. The hemodialysis model includes the dynamics of urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium in the intracellular and extracellular pools as well as fluid balance equations for the intracellular, interstitial, and plasma volumes. Model parameters are largely based on literature values. We have presented the results on the simulations performed by changing some model parameters with respect to their basal values. In each case, the percentage changes of each compartmental pressure, heart rate (HR), total systemic resistance (TSR), ventricular compliance, zero pressure filling volume and solute concentration profiles are represented during hemodialysis.

We demonstrate a simple pulsed $CO_2$ laser with millisecond long pulse duration in a tube at a low pressure of less than 30 Torr. The novel power supply for our laser system switches the voltage of the AC power line (60Hz) directly. The power supply doesn't need elements such as a rectifier bridge, energy-storage capacitors, or a current-limiting resistor in the discharge circuit. To control the laser output power, the pulse repetition rate is adjusted up to 60Hz and the firing angle of SCR(Silicon Controlled Rectifier) gate is varied from 30。 to 150。. A ZCS (Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control precisely the gate signal of the SCR. The maximum laser output of 35 W is obtained at a total pressure of 18 Torr, a pulse repetition rate of 60 Hz, and a SCR gate firing angle of 90。 . In addition, the resulting laser pulse width is approximately 3㎳(FWHM). This is a relatively long pulse width, compared with other repetitively pulsed $CO_2$ lasers.

쉴드TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) 터널 시공에 있어 막장압 관리는 막장면 붕괴, 지반침하 등을 방지하여 막장 안정성을 유지하는 데 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 특히, 챔버 내부의 굴착토로 막장압을 조절하는 토압식 쉴드TBM의 경우, 이수식 쉴드TBM에 비해 막장압의 관리가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 국내 토압식 쉴드TBM 터널 시공 현장의 지반조건 및 굴진특성 데이터를 분석하여, 토압식 쉴드TBM 터널의 세그먼트 링별 막장압 예측모델을 제시하였다. 예측모델의 입력특성으로 7가지를 선정하였으며, 912개의 학습 데이터 세트(Training data set)와 228개의 시험 데이터 세트(Test data set)를 확보하였다. 최적의 토압식 쉴드TBM 막장압 예측모델 선정을 위하여 KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors), SVM (Support Vector Machine), RF (Random Forest), XGB (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) 모델의 하이퍼파라미터(Hyperparameter)를 최적화하여 예측성능을 비교한 결과, RF 모델이 7.35 kPa의 평균 제곱근 오차(Root Mean Square Error, RMSE)로 가장 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 추가적으로, RF 모델의 특성 중요도(Feature importance) 분석을 수행한 결과, 입력특성 중 수압의 영향도가 0.38로 가장 높았으며, 전반적으로 지반조건이 굴진특성보다 높은 중요도를 보여주었다.
