Because of the complexity, nonlinearity and long-time delay of power plant, the star-up operation of a fossil power plant is very difficult to automate. So the start-up operation is always carried out by the skilled human operators, who utilize their knowledges and experiences for the predesigned start-up schedules and procedures. In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller is designed for the start-up operation of the power plant. And the operators experiences are modeled in terms of fuzzy sets and variables. To validate the controller, a drum-type boiler of the Seoul Power Plant is constructed via the signal flow diagram. Using the model, the suggested automatic start-up operation is verified, and the results are also presented.

Testing was conducted to determine the performance of a residential fuel cell system when subjected to DSS and WSS operation, especially for start-up and shut-down characteristics. In terms of start-up time, it took about 70min to start output power generation and stably to reach 1kW at cold start. Measurement of the characteristics of heat and power generation were carried out at start-up and shut-down time. Fuel gas is used for heating both reformer and stack from start-up to the beginning of power generation. In terms of start-up and shut-down characteristics, it was important to control the reformer temperature precisely. The average output water temperature during the rated output operation(960W) was $63.2^{\circ}C$ constantly. The results of the investigation are being used to develop a new test protocols for residential fuel cell system.

Since, human error is a major factor contributing to disaster during start-up of operation in Boiler plant. it is necessary to develop an automation system which prevent mode of operation that are known to be dangerous and to bring a loss of energy. The aim of this study is to suggest a model for the computer-aided synthesis of operation sequence as a part of automation system for start-up operation. Synthesis is accomplished by the formation of a hierarchical network of goals which decide sequence of operations. Hierarchical Network is formed by using method which upper goals ( i.e. upper operation al situation) are classified by the function of themselves into lower goals (i.e. lower operational situation). Knowledge for deciding operation sequence is generated by putting In order the knowledge of hazard operation and energy management.

This study aimed to obtain quantitative data for WWTP operators in phosphorus removal process. This was done by reviewing and comparing phosphorus removal efficiency(%), coagulants dosage(Al/P and $Al_2O_3$(mg/L)), sludge production($kg/m^3$), and operation cost($won/m^3$) of start-up and normal operation data. Phosphorus removal efficiency of all tertiary treatment process was up to 70 ~ 89 % in start-up and normal operation. Average molar ratio(Al/P) was similar as 5 in both operations, but average coagulants dosage (mg/L) of start-up (8.5 mg/L) was higher than normal operation (6.2 mg/L). Average operation cost was higher for start-up ($33.6won/m^3$) than normal operation ($28.4won/m^3$), while electricity cost required for the normal operation ($9.0won/m^3$) was higher by $3.5won/m^3$.

The variations of performance and metabolites at an early stage were investigated for the successful start-up technology in continuous fermentative hydrogen production. Unsuccessful start-up was observed when the operation mode was changed from batch to continuous mode after the yield was reached to 0.5 mol $H_2$/mol $hexose_{added}$ by batch mode. $H_2$ production continued till 12 hours accompanied by butyrate production, but did not last with propionate production increase. It was suspected that the failure was due to the regrowth of propionic acid bacteria during batch mode which were inhibited by heat-shock but not completely killed. Thus, successful start-up was tried by early switchover from batch to continuous operation; continuous operation was started after the $H_2$ yield was reached to 0.2 mol $H_2$/mol $hexose_{added}$ by batch mode. Although $H_2$ production rate decreased at an early stage, stable $H_2$ yield of 0.8 mol $H_2$/mol $hexose_{added}$ was achieved after 10 days by lowering down propionate production. And it was also concluded that the reason for $H_2$ production decrease at an early stage was due to alcohol production by self detoxification mechanism against VFAs accumulation.

This paper presents the simulator for dynamic modeling of a MT(micro turbine) during start-up period. The simulator is implemented by modeling a dynamic power of main components of a MT including compressor, combustor and turbine. A modeling for a MT under steady state operation can be accurately built from thermodynamics analysis. But dynamic modeling during start-up period is very difficult because efficiency of main components is very low and the designed value has big error and nonlinear characteristics during start-up. In this paper, new method without using thermodynamics analysis during start-up is proposed for the simulator. The power models of main components are derived from analysis of the experimental operation data by test motoring using a electric starter under constant power output. The simulator is developed using MATLAB/Simulink. For constant power output control, sensorless vector inverter is designed and algorithms for starting from stall and method for controling a output power are proposed. The performance of developed simulator is verified by comparing experimental and simulation start-up results.

The main purposes of start-up tests in nuclear power plants (NPPs) are to ensure safe and reliable operation, verify system functionality, comply with regulatory requirements, optimize performance, and establish a foundation for ongoing plant operation and maintenance. However, the start-up tests of NPPs also could be used as a main part of the nuclear code validation procedure for several reasons including: realistic simulation, comprehensive evaluation, detection of code limitations, validation of safety margins and confidence in code predictions. The main purpose of the current study is to define and assess the validation procedure based on actual start-up test data. In this regard, the developed RELAP5 model has been validated against the actual data of VVER-1000 plant during a dynamic start-up test. The results of this full-scale validation show a good agreement between the developed RELAP5 model results and actual plant data. Finally, by defining a step by step validation procedure, it has been recommended to use the start-up phase test data as a more robust validation process which allow for full-scale validation of the nuclear code by comparing its predictions with actual plant measurements and also other advantages which have been demonstrated in the current study.

Successful start-ups are driven by opportunities, teams, and the resources needed to grow the business. Systematic business process management is required to maximize the efficiency of business operations. However, the existing entrepreneurial process research has limitations that it is difficult to intuitively and dynamically provide the necessary information for start-up operation, and it is necessary to define necessary information (resources, stakeholders, activities). In this study, we suggest the "Start-up Process Repository System" which overcomes limitations of existing entrepreneurial process research. The architecture for the Start-up Process Repository System provides five layers and enables each layer to interact four interfaces between each layer. This study improves start-ups' accessibility to the start-up business process repository created from the existing repository architecture and increases the utility derived from it by providing methodologies for components that offer useful start-up knowledge.

Recently, district heating and cooling (DHC) systems based on combined cycle generation (CCG) providers are increasing in Korea. Since characteristics of combined heat and power (CHP) generators and heat demands of providers, heat trading between DHC providers based on the economic viewpoint is required; the heat trading has been doing. In this paper, a mathematical model for optimal operation based on heat trading between DHC providers is proposed. Especially, start-up characteristic of CCG is included. The operation model is established by mixed integer linear programming (MILP).
