Whenever the large-capacitor and high-voltage pump motor is opened and closed, the power factor improvement condenser and the low-voltage equipment are often damaged by the sparking and the on-off power serge. In order to find the reason and resolve the problem, we have installed a transition wave recorder for obtaining the transient on-off power serge wave and a power disturbance analyzer for long-time monitoring. In this way we measured and analysed the condition of the high-voltage pump motor whenever it is opened and closed.

In the present study, degradation characteristics of pumps in nuclear power plants were investigated to provide the information of degradation mechanism and stressors. The failure records of pumps for the periods 2000 to 2006 on INPO(Institute of Nuclear Power Operations) EPIX(Equipment Performance and Information Exchange System) DB were reviewed. The 1,834 failure records reveal that the critical areas of pump failures are bearing, mechanical seal, gasket/o-ring, shaft, impeller, coupling and packing. Based on the failure rate of critical areas, the important degradation mechanism and stressors were determined. Additionally, the relationship between degradation mechanism and stressors such as wear was examined. Finally, the monitoring parameters related to degradation and stressors were discussed for the future development of degradation evaluation and prognosis technology of pumps.

원자력 발전소에서 운전되고 있는 원자로 냉각재 펌프는 대형 수직 펌프로서 증기 발생기로부터 원자로에 냉각재를 순환시키는 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 원자로 냉각재 펌프는 운전 조건 및 각종 결함에 따라 진동, 열적 변형, 마모 등의 비정상 상태에서 운전될 수 있으며, 이로 인한 발전소 신뢰성 저하의 원인이 된다. 따라서 이 펌프의 감시 및 진단에 대한 연구가 계속되어 왔으며 각종 시스템이 설치 운용되고 있다. 그러나 미국내의 거의 모든 냉각재 펌프 감시 시스템은 펌프의 고진동 여부만을 나타내며 진동의 원인을 진단하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 최근까지 주로 발생되었던 미국내 원자로 냉각재 펌프의 문제점을 분석하고 이들의 원인별 진동 특성을 지식베이스화 하였으며, 진단시스템 개발을 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

Recently, the fuel charge is accounted for very high in the navigation cost. Therefore Shipowner is tried to find method for reducing oil consumption. ERCS(Energy Reduced Cooling System) is one of the method. The ERCS algorithm operates to decrease a power consumption of main sea water cooling pump through inverter control. We have developed ERCS controller with algorithm. The ERCS controller consists of CPU board, Digital I/O board, A/D board, D/A board and LCD/SW board. We tested with dummy signal to confirm the algorithm working correctly and achieved the good results. Before soon we will test under real condition in the ship and expect to get the result as forecasted.

In this paper, a fault detection and isolation unit(FDIU) for a centrifugal pump system driven by DC-motor is proposed. The proposed scheme can be classified into the dedicated observer scheme(DOS). A fuzzy logic based inference engine is adopted for the isolation of each faults. Having the fuzzy inference engine, the proposed FDIU resolve a few important problems of the conventional DOSs with conventional two valued logic. The ouputs of the proposed FDIU are not "ith fault occurred" but the grade of memberships that indicate the consistency of observered symptoms(residuals) with each fault symptoms stored in the rule base. The ouputs can easily be transferred to the ranking of the fault possibilities and it will provide very useful informations in monitoring the process. The simulation results show that the FDIU has very good diagnostic ability even in the noisy environment.

In this paper, we propose a smart indoor garden aquaculture system using PIC. In the proposed smart indoor garden aquaculture system, the aquaphonics system circulates the nutrient solution of the aquarium, the filtrate tank, and the flowerpot. The automated control system that controls the state of the nutrient solution through the various sensors and controls the pump and valve is designed. As a result of the verification of the smart indoor garden aquaculture system proposed in this paper, it was confirmed that the environment suitable for the survival of fish and plants was maintained by monitoring water temperature, DO, pH measured in real time. The water level in aquarium and flower pot was controlled through automatic operation of the Electric vale and pump.

The emergency AC power supply system of the nuclear power plant is designed to supply the power to the nuclear power plant at the emergency operating condition. The safety function of the diesel generator at the nuclear power plant is to supply AC electric power to the safety system whenever the preferred AC power supply is unavailable. The reliable operation of onsite standby diesel generator should be ensured by a condition monitoring system designed to maintain, monitor and forecast the reliability level of diesel generator. The purpose of this paper is to improve the existing ultrasonic sensor used for condition diagnosis of engine fuel pump and cylinder head for the accurate diagnosis in actual engine condition of emergency diesel generator(EDG). As a result of this study, we could design and develop much more reliable ultrasonic sensor than existing ones.

The RCP is one of the main components in nuclear power plants and plays an important role in circulating coolant to the RCS system. Currently, nuclear plants are monitored using various monitoring systems. However, since they operate independently according to their functional purpose, it is not able to analyze vibration and operation/performance information comprehensively, and thus failure diagnosis accuracy is limited. In addition, these systems do not provide some important information (such as fault type, parts and cause) necessary for emergency actions, but provide only alarm information. To improve these technical problems, this study proposes a diagnosis technique (M/L, Rule-based model, Data-driven model, Narrow band model) and methodology for comprehensive analysis.

Effectively monitoring the concrete cracks is an urgent question to be solved in the structural safety monitoring while cracks in hydraulic concrete structures are ubiquitous. In this paper, two experiments are designed based on the measuring principle of Pulse-Pre pump Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (PPP-BOTDA) utilizing Brillouin optical fiber sensor to monitor concrete cracks. More specifically, "V" shaped optical fiber sensor is proposed to determine the position of the initial crack and the experiment illustrates that the concrete crack position can be located by the mutation position of optical fiber strain. Further, Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensor and preinstall cracks are set at different angles and loads until the optical fiber is fractured. Through the monitoring data, it can be concluded that the variation law of optical fiber strain can basically reflect the propagation trend of the cracks in hydraulic concrete structures.

The monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the atmosphere is a basis for the study of the fate of POPs in multimedia environments. Recently, passive air samplers (PASs) for POPs have been developed. In this paper, we deal with the principle, properties, and applications of the PAS. The principle of PAS, which has no pump, is physical sorption of semi-volatile organic chemicals on various sorbent materials. The PAS is much smaller than a high-volume air sampler and does not need electricity. These properties of the PAS make it possible to conduct various-scaled environmental monitoring all over the world including the Arctic and Antarctic, but the major disadvantage of PAS is its long sampling periods up to 2 years. To date, four kinds of PAS have been developed: polyurethane foam (PUF), polymer-coated glass (POG), semi-permeable membrane devices (SPMDs), and XAD resin-based PAS. Among them, SPMDs have been commercialized and are most widely used now. Meanwhile, the POPs emitted from China have a large potential to influence the levels and fates of POPs in Korea. Since characteristics of PAS are quite useful to monitor long-range transport of POPs, the use of PAS is highly recommended.
