Precision stages for 6-DOF positioning, actuated by PZT stacks, which are fed back by gap sensors and guided by flexure hinges, have enlarged their application territory in micro/nano manufacturing and measurement area. The precision stages inherently have such limitations as the nonlinearity between input and output in piezoelectric stacks, feedback signal noise in precision capacitive gap sensors and low material damping in precision kinematic linkages of mechanical flexures. To surmount these limitations, the precision stage is modeled with physics-based variables, which are identified by transient response correspondence, and a gain margin calculation algorithm using the Prandtl-Ishlinskii model and describing function is newly developed to assess system performance more precisely than linear controller design schemes. Based on such analyses, a precision positioning controller is designed. Excellent positioning accuracy with rapid settlement accomplished by the controller is shown in step responses of the closed-loop system.

This paper presents a design and simulation of bi-directional DC/DC boost converter for a fuel cell system. In this paper, we analyze the equivalent model of both a boost converter and a buck converter. Also we propose the controller of bi-directional DC-DC converter, which has buck mode of charging a capacitor and boost mode of discharging a capacitor. In order to design a controller, we draw bode plots of the control-to-output transfer function using specific parameters and incorporate 3pole-2zero compensator in a closed loop. As a result, it has increased PM(Phase Margin) for better dynamic performance. The proposed bi-directional DC-DC converter's 3pole-2zero compensation method has been verified with computer simulation and simulation results obtained demonstrates the validity of the proposed control scheme.

Probabilistic assessment of voltage stability margin (VSM) with existence of correlated wind speeds is investigated. Nataf transformation is adopted to establish wind speed correlation (WSC) model. Based on the saddle-node bifurcation transversality condition equations and Monte Carlo simulation technique, probability distribution of VSM is determined. With correlation coefficients range low to high value, the effect of WSC on VSM is studied. In addition, two risk indexes are proposed and the possible threat caused by WSC is evaluated from the viewpoint of risk analysis. Experimental results show that the presence of correlated wind speeds is harmful to safe and stable operation of a power system as far as voltage stability is concerned. The achievement of this paper gives a detailed elaboration about the influence of WSC on voltage stability and provides a potentially effective analytical tool for modern power system with large-scale wind power sources integration.

Authors have developed highly reproducible calibration method for the Micro-Selectron HDR Ir-192 system (Nucletron, Motherland). The new jig has a 10cm radius circular hole in the $30cm{\times}30cm{\times}0.2cm$ acrylic plate, and 5F flexible bronchial tubes are attached around the hole. The source moves along the circle in the tubes and the ionization chamber is placed verticaly at the center of the circular hole (center of the jig). Dose distribution near the center was derived theoretically, and measured with the film dosimetry system. Theoretical calculation and measurement show the error margin below $0.1\%$ for 1mm or 2mm position deviation. We have measured at 12 and 24 points of circle with 1, 6, 11 and 21 second dwell time of source in order to calculate the activity of the source. Measurements have been repeated daily for 50 days. The accuracy and the reproducibility are below $1\%$ error margin. The half life of the source from our measurement is estimated $73.4\pm0.4$ days.

Radar is a ground defense system that detects enemy aircraft and receives power from a mobile power supply in an emergency. Serious problems may occur if the equipment is damaged by impact during transportation for use. The US military standard MIL-STD-810H contains information on environmental tests such as shock and vibration applied to munitions. Therefore, in this study, the transient analysis of ANSYS 19.2 was performed using the impact data specified in MIL-STD-810H as an input value. Through this, the maximum stress generated in the impact environment of the mobile power supply container was derived, and the safety margin was calculated to confirm the reliability of the container.

A high-fidelity numerical analysis methodology was proposed for evaluating the fuel rod cladding integrity of a Prototype Gen IV Sodium Fast Reactor (PGSFR) during normal operation and Design basis events (DBEs). The MARS-LMR code, system transient safety analysis code, was applied to analyze the DBEs. The results of the MARS-LMR code were used as boundary condition for a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The peak temperatures considering HCFs satisfied the cladding temperature limit. The temperature and pressure distributions were calculated by ANSYS CFX code, and applied to structural analysis. Structural analysis was performed using ANSYS Mechanical code. The seismic reactivity insertion SSE accident among DBEs had the highest peak cladding temperature and the maximum stress, as the value of 87 MPa. The fuel cladding had over 40 % safety margin, and the strain was below the strain limit. Deformation behavior was elucidated for providing relative coordinate data on each active fuel rod center. Bending deformation resulted in a flower shape, and bowing bundle did not interact with the duct of fuel assemblies. Fuel rod maximum expansion was generated with highest stress. Therefore, it was concluded that the fuel rod cladding of the PGSFR has sufficient structural safety margin during DBEs.

Steam line break accident (SLB) in the nuclear reactor is one of the representative Non-LOCA accidents in which thermal-hydraulics and neutron kinetics are strongly coupled each other. Thus, the multi-scale and multi-physics approach is applied in this study in order to examine a realistic safety margin. An entire reactor coolant system is modelled by system scale node, whereas sub-channel scale resolution is applied for the region of interest such as the reactor core. Fuel performance code is extended to consider full core pin-wise fuel behaviour. The MARU platform is developed for easy integration of the codes to be coupled. An initial stage of the steam line break accident is simulated on the MARU platform. As cold coolant is injected from the cold leg into the reactor pressure vessel, the power increases due to the moderator feedback. Three-dimensional coolant and fuel behaviour are qualitatively visualized for easy comprehension. Moreover, quantitative investigation is added by focusing on the enhancement of safety margin by means of comparing the minimum departure from nucleate boiling ratio (MDNBR). Three factors contributing to the increase of the MDNBR are proposed: Various geometric parameters, realistic power distribution by neutron kinetics code, Radial coolant mixing including sub-channel physics model.

새롭게 제안된 다이아그리드 구조 시스템은 경사진 기둥을 통해 구조물의 중력하중과 횡력을 모두 저항하는 시스템이다. 하지만 현재 내진설계 기준은 새로운 구조시스템에 대한 적절한 반응수정계수가 없다. 이에 새로운 시스템의 반응수정계수를 포함한 내진설계시 고려되는 내진성능계수들을 산정하기 위해 ATC-63(안)이 새롭게 제안되었다. ATC-63(안)에서는 구조 시스템의 여러 변수에 의해 다른 값을 가지게 되는 반응수정계수를 보완하기 위해 붕괴여유비를 함께 고려하여 건물의 내진성능을 판단한다. 본 논문에서는 4층에서 36층의 서로 다른 높이의 대각가 새 구조물을 설계하여 ATC-63(안)의 방법론에 따라 비선형정적해석과 동적해석을 통해 대각가새 구조의 내진성능계수를 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) 지상파 디지털 TV 방송 방식에서의 분산 주파수 망(distributed frequency network)을 위해 개발된 분산중계기(Distributed Translator: DTxR)에 대한 필드 테스트 결과를 기술하고, 그 결과를 분석한다. 캐나다 오타와에서 수행된 필드 테스트에서는 두 대의 DTxR 신호가 동시에 수신되는 중첩 지역을 중심으로 안테나 및 수신기 종류에 따른 각 측정 지점의 수신 전계 강도, 잡음 마진, 수신 여부, 수신가능 방위각을 측정하였다. 필드 테스트 결과에 의하면, 두 대의 DTxR이 모두 켜졌을 때 수신 전계 강도 및 잡음 마진은 각각의 DTxR이 켜졌을 때 보다 증가하였지만, 수신율 및 수신가능 방위각은 수신기의 종류에 따라 증가하거나 비슷하였다.

불완전 전력제어된 역방향 링크에서 얼랑용량과 링크마진을 구하는 각각의 차단확률을 유도하고, 시스템 파라메터와 차단확률이 같은 조건에서 그 값을 구하여 도시, 교외, 개방지역에서 사용자 수와 셀 커버리지와의 관계를 분석할 때 파라메터로 적용하였다. 이때 얼랑용량은 현실적인 셀 용량으로 적용될 수 있고, 링크마진의 적용은 셀 커버리지 계산에서 신뢰성을 높일 수 있었다. 차단확률이 5 % 이내에서 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 값을 7 dB에서 5 dB로 낮추는 경우에 링크마진을 2.8 dB로 똑같이 적용해도 셀 용량은 18 얼랑에서 31 얼랑으로 증가하였고, 이때 도시, 교외, 개방지역에서 셀 커버리지는 각각 0.4 km, 1 km, 2.5 km씩 증가하였다. 또한 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 값이 5 dB에서 차단확률을 5 %에서 2 %로 낮출 경우 링크마진은 0.88 dB 더 증가시켜야 하며, 이때 용량이 31 얼랑에서 3얼랑 감소함에 따라 0.15 km, 0.5 km, 1.5 km 씩 줄어드는 범위 내에서 신뢰성을 높이고 양질의 서비스 제공이 가능하였다.
