  • Virtual power plants can be regarded as systems that have entered the network after restructure of power systems. In fact, these plants are a set of consumers capable of consuming and generating power. In response to widespread implementation of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, further investigation of energy management in this type of power plants seems to be of great value. In effect, these vehicles are able to receive and inject power from/into the network. Hence, study of the effects of these vehicles on management of virtual power plants seems to be illuminative. In this paper, management of power consumption/generation in virtual power plants has been investigated in the presence of hybrid electric vehicles. The objective function of virtual power plants problem management is to minimize the overall costs including not only the costs of energy production in power generation units, fuels, and degradation of batteries of vehicles, but also the costs of purchasing electricity from the network. Furthermore, the constraints on the operational of plants, loads and hybrid vehicles, level of penalty for greenhouse gas emissions ($CO_2$ and $NO_x$) produced by power plants and vehicles, and demand response to the immediate price of market have all been attended to in the present study. GAMS/Cplex software system and sample power system have been employed to pursue computer implementation and simulation.

  • Many conventional management methods have emphasized the minimization of required resources along the supply chain. Accordingly, this paper presents a proposed method called the Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)-aided system. It is based on object-oriented resource control, in order to accomplish a feed-forward control monitoring supply chain logistics. The system is supported by two main parts: (1) IT-based Technologies; and (2) VDC Models. They enable the system to convey proactive information from the detection technology to its linked visualization. The paper includes a field study as the system's pre-test: the Scaffolding Works in a LNG Mega Project. The study demonstrates a system of real-time productivity monitoring by use of the RFIDbased Mobile Information Hub. The on-line 'productivity dashboard' provides an opportunity to display the continuing processes for each work-package. This research project offers the observed opportunities created by the developed system. Future work will entail research experiments aimed towards system validation.

  • This paper presents a synchronizing adaptive feedforward control for clamping servomechanism of injection molding machines. Based on MBS, virtual design model has been developed for a direct forcing clamping mechanism. A synchronizing controller is designed and combined with adaptive feedforward control to accommodate mismatches between the real plant and the linear plant model used. From tracking control simulations, it is shown that significant reduction in position tracking error is achieved through the use of proposed control scheme.

  • Telerobot system is being developed for the application to nuclear power plants by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. Human-machine interaction and interface are very important elements of telerobotic systems. The main purpose of this study is developing a control system based on 3-D graphic techniques for the easy user interface and realistic visual I information supply. This system possesses the abilities for (1) virtual work, environment modelling and simulation, (2) kinematic animation include redundant behavior (3) interfacing with a real robot system, (4) transformation between real and virtual mode within the same graphics system. This system is especially focused on enhancing the overall efficiency and reliably of nozzle dam installation task inside water chamber of steam generator in nuclear power plant.

  • 원자력 발전소는 발전소 안전과 방사선 안전등의 이유로 해서 복잡한 건물 및 기기들로 이루어져 있다. 특히 고 방사성 물질들을 함유하고 있는 1 차계통(NSSS System) 기기들은 평상 운전시 뿐 아니라 정기보수(O/H) 기간 중에도 고 방사능 지역에 위치하여 운전원의 접근이 어려운 지역이다. 본 고에서는 이러한 접근 제약성을 극복할 수 있는 교육시스템으로서 전력연구원에서 개발한 울진 표준형원전 가상현실 교육훈련 지원시스템(KSNP VRCATS)의 일환으로 가상 공간에 구현된 가상발전소(Virtual Plant)와 각종 기기 구조물, 가상 주제어실(Virtual MCR)의 개발 내용 및 특징을 기술하였다.

  • This paper deals with the issue of force synchronizing control for the clamping servomechanism of injection molding machines. Prior to the controller design, a virtual design model has been developed for the clamping mechanism with hydraulic systems. Then, a synchronizing controller is designed and combined with an adaptive feedforward control in order to accommodate the mismatches between the real plant and the linear model plant used. As a disturbance, the leakage due to the ring gap with relative motion in the cylinder has been introduced. From the robust force tracking simulations, it is shown that a significant reduction in the force synchronizing error is achieved through the use of a proposed control scheme.

  • Most national critical key infrastructure, such like electricity, nuclear power plant, and petroleum is run on SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system as the closed network type. These systems have treated the open protocols like TCP/IP, and the commercial operating system, which due to gradually increasing dependence on IT(Information Technology) is a trend. Recently, concerns have been raised about the possibility of these facilities being attacked by cyber terrorists, hacking, or viruses. In this paper, the method to minimize threats and vulnerabilities is proposed, with the virtual honeynet system architecture and the attack detection algorithm, which can detect the unknown attack patterns of Zero-Day Attack are reviewed.
