In many case of optimal design and sensitivity analysis, obtaining of transfer function between input and output variables is a difficult and time-consuming problem. The bond graph modeling is a method that is used for making it easy to analyze complex systems composed of mechanical and electrical parts. It gives us a simple and systematic tool to get state-space equations easily. And we can obtain the transfer function graphically using bond graph and Mason's rule. This paper shows how bond graphs are converted to block diagram and how Mason's rule is applied. And the simple direct method to obtain transfer function from bond graph is introduced. As a example, induction of transfer function of electric power steering composed of mechanical and electrical parts will be done.

In this study, we tried to build a model which can deal with the efficient and effective operation of electric power industry, especially focused on the nuclear industry. Here, SD(system Dynamics) approach is used to visualize the underlying phenomenon of the nuclear power industry. SD is a methodology for studying and managing complex feedback systems, such as one finds in business and other social systems, The span of SD applications has grown extensively and now encompasses work in corporate planning and policy design, public management and policy, biological and medical modeling, energy and the environment. Recently, according to the report from KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation), they are considering delaying a new power plant construction. It may be based upon business fluctuation downsized from Korean economic crisis in 1997 and freezing of construction funds due to unstable foreign exchange rate. At this point, we need desperately a kind of strategic model that would contribute to cope with the current business situation, energy generation, Production, and resulting Pollution. Specifically, this model, using SD approach, starts with the detailed drawing of influence diagram, which describes those relevant key points on nuclear power generation systems in electric power industry of Korea. These include such (actors as the operation of nuclear industry and parameters related to the decision making for business policy. Based upon the above-mentioned influence diagram drawn, we developed SD simulation model to evaluate and analyze strategic management of KBPCO. Based on our analysis, we could demonstrate how simulation model can be applied to the real electric power generation in Korea.

Weld quality of GMA welding processes is closely related to arc stability. Although many researches on arc stability have been performed, real-time estimation of arc stability has not been attempted. For instance, Mita proposed a off-line statistical method in which short circuiting and arcing time, and voltage and current wave forms were sampled to assess arc stability. But this method is not suitable to assess arc stability for GMA welder which employ inverter power source due to its controlled current and voltage wave forms. In this paper, the relationship between are stability and wire feed rate fluctuation is analyzed to propose new criterion for inverter power source. When arc voltage and arc current and arcing time are analyzed, we can assess arc stability only for short circuit transfer mode. When wire feed rate is analyzed, we can estimate arc stability udner the condition of spray transfer mode as well. Hence, the wire feed rate is chosen for monitoring process variable to cover possible metal transfer modes in GMAW. Through this research, it has been identified that arc stability in GMA welding processes is closely related to wire fed rate. When inverter power source is used, conventional statistical method of estimating arc stability, such as Mita index, is no longer valid due to its controlled voltage and current wave forms. Arc stability has been also examined in phase plane diagram.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to grasp the fundamental structure of incident occurrence in nuclear organizations based on system thinking, and analyze how various causes are interrelated in terms of the causal loop diagram. Background: The recent domestic and overseas nuclear power plant-related incidents and accidents are directly or indirectly associated with safety culture, and thus effective plans for the improvement of safety culture are being called for. While the safety of a nuclear power plant is highly dependent upon technology and equipment, the utilization, maintenance and inspection of the technology and equipment are conducted by workers of the nuclear power plant. Method: Methodology of system thinking perspective using causal loop analysis. Results: As a result of the analysis, first, it turned out that the fundamental cause of incident occurrence in nuclear organizations is time constraint. Second, if a workload of workers increases, their adherence to regulations and procedures comes to be reduced due to time constraint. Third, it is needed, through organizational learning education, to increase actions made from thoughts considering safety as the utmost priority in advance. Fourth, it is necessary to improve professionalism by enhancing educational programs for new workers, and to develop various scenarios with which they can cope with certain situations. Application: This paper provides a base for system dynamics simulation model for future study.

본 논문에서는 스위치-레벨 회로의 검증(verification)을 위해서 이진 결정 다이어그램(BDD : Binary Decision Diagram)을 구현하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 스위치-레벨에서 기능(function)들은 스위치들의 직$\cdot$병렬 연결에 의해서 결정되며, 결과 논리 값은 논리 '0'과 '1'뿐만 아니라, 초기 상태, 고 임피던스와 불안정 상태를 가진다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 "스위치-레벨 이진 결정 다이어그램(SLBDD : Switch- Level Bianary Decision Diagram)"으로 정의한 비 사이클 그래프(acyclic graph)들을 사용해서 스위치-레벨 회로의 가능들을 표현하도록 BDD를 확장하였다. 그러나, 그래프의 기능적 표현을 최악의 경우 입력 변수들의 수에 지수 함수적이 되므로, 결정 다이어그램의 변수 순서(ordering)는 그래프 크기에 주된 역할을 하게된다. 따라서, 패스-트랜지스터와 도미노-논리가 존재하는 사전에 충전하는 회로(Precharging circuitry)에서 그래프 크기에서의 효율성을 위한 입력 순서 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고, 실험 결과는 여러 가지 벤치-마크 회로에서 여러 번의 실험을 통해서 제안된 알고리즘이 스위치-레벨에서의 기능적 시뮬레이션, 전력 측정과 결점 시뮬레이션에 적용될 수 있을 만큼 충분히 효율적임을 보여준다.율적임을 보여준다.

Purpose: The primary objective of this case study is to establish a COQ(Cost of Quality) management system for power generation industries. Key topics of this study include collecting COQ elements, their classifications, COQ computation formula, and determining COQ improvement projects. Results: A comprehensive set of COQ elements have been isolated for electric power generation companies. The COQ elements were classified in such a way that they could be managed according to the PAF model as well as the SIPOC diagram. This study showed that a systematic approach could be established for monitoring the COQ elements and using them in the process of improving quality competitiveness. Methods: The PAF(Prevention-Appraisal-Failure) model has been employed in the process of collecting COQ elements for a power generation company. All the cost of quality elements were first examined through an extensive review of articles and books in the field of quality. The cost elements were then refined and augmented by conducting a comparative study with international standards. The COQ elements have been verified by a group of quality managers and classified according to both the PAF model and the SIPOC diagram for better understanding in the entire organization. An improvement strategy has been also proposed by using a typical COQ level of power generation companies. Conclusion: The conventional PAF model was used in establishing a COQ management system for power generation industries. This case study illustrates the procedure about identification, classification and computation of quality costs, including selection of improvement projects. The system can be used not only for observing the current state of cost elements related to quality, but also for planning an improvement strategy using the ratio of cost classification.

The voltage variation problem at the point of common coupling (PCC) in a grid-connected wind turbine is investigated. The voltage variation problem is one of the most frequent power quality issues for the grid connection of large amounts of input power in a weak grid. Through the simplified modeling of the wind turbine and power network, the magnitude of PCC voltage variation is calculated by using the equivalent circuit parameters and output power of the wind turbine. The required amount of reactive power that can compensate the voltage variation is also presented analytically by using the vector diagram method. The proposed calculation and compensation method of the PCC voltage variation is verified by computer simulations and experiments.
