  • People have been using more energy in the last years. Several research studies were conducted to develop sustainable energy sources that can produce clean energy to fulfill our energy requirements. Using renewable energy sources helps to decrease the harm to the environment caused by conventional power plants. Choosing the right location and capacity for DG-RESs can greatly impact the performance of Radial Distribution Systems. It is beneficial to have a good and stable electrical power supply with low energy waste and high effectiveness because it improves the performance and reliability of the system. This research investigates the ideal location and size for solar and wind power systems, which are popular methods for producing clean electricity. A new artificial intelligent algorithm called Nutcracker Optimization Algorithm (NOA) is used to find the best solution in two common electrical systems named IEEE 33 and 69 bus systems to examine the improvement in the efficiency & reliability of power system network by reducing power losses, making voltage deviation smaller, and improving voltage stability. Finally, the NOA method is compared with another method called PSO and developed Hybrid Algorithm (NOA+PSO) to validate the proposed algorithm effectiveness and enhancement of both efficiency and reliability aspects.

  • For preventing a sneak current in the 3D cross-point array, the selection device is essentially necessary and an n-MOSFET has been used for the selection device. However, the three-terminal electrodes of n-MOSFET make to achieve a high density of a cross-point array difficult. As a solution, using a selector having two terminal electrodes has been intensively researched. We presented that the CuGeS2/GeS2-based super-linear-threshold-switching (SLTS) selector device with the insertion of optimal TiN liner thickness exhibited outstanding electrical characteristics and reliability. The dependency of electrical characteristics and reliability on various TiN liner thicknesses were investigated. In addition, the principles of reliability and electrical characteristics improvement were understood through the energy dispersive spectroscopy elemental mapping and line profile of Cu. The adequate amount of Cu distributed in GeS2 resistive switching layer is a key factor to achieve excellent electrical characteristics and reliability for an ultra-high-density 3D cross-point array cell.

  • A signal equipment improvement project for the existing facility ATS to ATP is under construction in Kyung-Bu and Ho-Nam commercial line including 400 rolling stocks. But there was a concern for the interface between KTX OBCS and ATP from the beginning of the project. At present, this is the front burner event. This paper introduces interface checking and predicted failure point between KTX OBCS and ATP improvement system. Through this measure the optimal installation of the ATP will be possible. The study was made under maintenance efficiency including reliability because the KTX signal equipment must qualify the above condition.

  • RAMS is the procedure to maximize the reliability and availability of systems with managing operation rate, the frequency of failure in the system and repair method. Recently, all system life-cycle focusing on RAMS process has been rapidly developing in the field of railway vehicles, for example, applying th reliability management techniques for procurement and disposal of EMU. In particular, global economic recession require to reasonable measures for the EMU maintenance costs under the circumstances therefore, an alternative solution based on RCM(Reliability Centered Maintenance) which is the optimal maintenance method is interested. In this study, the state of being critical of each component and a primary factors was analyzed to improve VVVF inverter of the line 7 EMU by applying FMECA process. Furthermore, this paper showed the impact of connecting between the main and sub system. Based on these data, critical components according to malfunction ratings were classified by screening measures and improvements for each components was summarized.

  • Safety is soaring up as a core value in accordance with the recent improvement of operating speed & incidents. rolling stock is a kind of system which works together with several components. one component has an effect on the sub-system, which can cause to the train safety operation, therefore reliability management of the major components of rolling stock is a kind of solution to the safety operation of train, but realistically maintenance in korea performed based on period rather than TBO of major components, but Japan does new maintenance system based on the major components, which optimizes maintenance tasks. actually Japan can apply to new maintenance system because they are ready in planning step but in this study, making a reliability data of major components and review the adaptability of new maintenance system to the rolling stock operating in Ansan line.

  • The checkpointing scheme is a well-known technique to cope with transient faults in digital systems. This paper proposes an adaptive checkpointing scheme for the reliability improvement of real-time control systems with concurrent fault detection capability. With concurrent fault detection capability the effect of transient faults are assumed to be detected with no latency. The proposed adaptive checkpointing scheme is based on the reliability analysis of an equidistant checkpointing scheme. Numerical data show the proposed adaptive scheme outperforms the equidistant scheme from a reliability point of view.

  • Nuclear power plants may use commercial grade items if they can pass special tests or inspections, which is called Commercial Grade Item Dedication (CGID). Digital items, however, should follow EPRI TR-106439 to be applied to nuclear power plants. This paper explains the scheme and requirements of the EPRI TR-106439 and introduces some guidelines. Firstly, in order to clarify requirements of the EPRI TR-106439, code interpretation is performed. And through case study of digital indicator, limitations of EPRI TR-106439 are mentioned, and improvement direction is proposed.

  • Crank pin temperatures were measured and analyzed to find out practical method which can predict the engine bearing reliability. The measuring points were determined to be near the MOFT region and far from that by theoretical calculation. The effect of engine running condition, oil temperature, the change of oil circuit into bearing and crankshaft endplay on crank pin temperature were experimentally tested. The result obtained was as following. The crank pin temperature was dependent on oil film thickness and directly influenced by the change of test condition. Also, the length of the crankshaft endplay was confirmed to be critical to connecting rod bearing failure. In conclusion, we found that the measurement method of crank pin temperature can be used for predicting the engine bearing reliability.

  • The objective of this study is to test Parasurman, Zeithaml & Berry(1985)'s service quality gap analysis model, and to confirm reliability and to confirm reliability and validity of the model. The reliability of the model is adopted, but the validity must be retested in the further study. In the results of the gap analysis model, the correlation between consumer expectations and management perceptions of consumer expectations(gap1) was not accepted. The correlation between management perceptions of consumer expectations and service quality specifications(gap2), the correlation between service quality specifications and the service actually delivered(gap3), and the correlation between services delivered and services promised to consumers(gap4) were accepted. To improve domestic telecommunication service quality, practical guides such as standardization of job roles, cooperation among customer-contact persons, communication between managers and employees, evaluation programs for employee's improvement of service quality, appropriate supports for customer-contact persons were suggested. For generalizing the gap model, additional studies under the different contexts and industries will be needed.
