During the last ten years, the need has been increase for reducing maintenance cost for aged equipments are ensuring safety, efficiency and profitability of petrochemical and refinery plants. American Petroleum institute(API) developed a code, API 581 for proposing standard procedures of risk based inspection. Even though the API 581 code covers general RBI procedures, there must be some limitations. In this study, a semi-quantitative assessment algorithm for RBI based on the API 581 code was reconstructed for developing an RBI software. The user-friendly realRBI software is developed with a module for evaluation semi-quantitative risk category using the potential consequence factor and the likelihood factor. Also, inspection planning module for inspection time and inspection method for equipments are included.

When a fault occurs on a transmission line, it is important to identify the fault location as speedily as possible for improvement of the power supply reliability. Generally, distance to fault location is estimated by off line from the recorded data. Conventional fault recorder uses the fault data at one end. This paper deals with the design of an advanced fault recorder for enhancement accuracy of the fault distance estimation and fast detection a fault occurrence position. The major emphasis of the paper will be on the description of the hardware and software of the fault recorder. The fault locator algorithm utilizes a GPS time-synchronized the fault data at both ends. The fault data is transmitted to the other side substation through communication. The advanced fault locator includes a Power module, MPU(Main Processing Unit) module, ADPU(Analog Digital Processing Unit) module, and SIU(Signal Interface Unit) modules. The MMI firmware and software of an advanced fault recording device was implemented.

This paper describes a systematic process which can generate a complete circuit specification efficiently for a given recursive DSP algorithm based on an optimal multiprocessor scheduler. The process is composed of two states: scheduling and circuit synthesis. The scheduling part accepts a fully specified flow graph(FSFG) as an input, and generates an optimal synchronous multiprocessor schedule. Then the circuit synthesis part translates the modified schedule into a complete circuit diagram including a control specification. The circuit diagram can be applied to a silicon compiler for VLSI layout generation. This paper illustrates the whole process with an example of a second order Gray-Market lattice filter.

The mechanical system of a drive can often be modeled as a two- or three-mass-system. The load is coupled to the driving motor by a shaft able to perform torsion oscillations. For the automatic tuning of the control, it is necessary to know the mathematical description of the system and the corresponding parameters. As the manpower and setup-time necessary during the commissioning of electrical drives are major cost factors, the development of self-operating identification strategies is a task worth pursuing. This paper presents an identification method which can be utilized for the assisted commissioning of electrical drives. The shaft assembly can be approximated as a two-mass non-rigid mechanical system with four parameters that have to be identified. The mathematical background for an identification procedure is developed and some important implementation issues are addressed. In order to avoid the excitation of the system with its natural resonance frequency, the frequency response can be obtained by exciting the system with a Pseudo Random Binary Signal (PRBS) and using the cross correlation function (CCF) and the auto correlation function (ACF). The reference torque is used as stimulation and the response is the mechanical speed. To determine the parameters, especially in advanced control schemes, a numerical algorithm with excellent convergence characteristics has also been used that can be implemented together with the proposed measurement procedure in order to assist the drive commissioning or to achieve an automatic setting of the control parameters. Simulations and experiments validate the efficiency and reliability of the identification procedure.

this paper presents an implementation of digital control system of speed sensorless for Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) drives with direct torque control (DTC). The problem of DTC for high-dynamic performance RSM drive is generating a nonlinear torque due to a saturated nonlinear inductance curve with various load currents. The control system consists of stator flux observer, compensating inductance look-up table, rotor position/speed/torque estimator, two hysteresis band controllers, an optimal switching look-up table, IGBT voltage source unverter, and TMS320C31 DSP controller. The stator flux observer is based on the combined voltage and current model with stator flux feedback adapitve control that inputs are the compensated inductances, current and voltage sensing of motor terminal with estimated rotor angle for wide speed range. The rotor position is estimated rotor speed is determined by differentiation of the rotor position used only in the current model part of the flux observer for a low speed operation area. It does not requrie the knowledge of any montor paramenters, nor particular care for moter starting, In order to prove the suggested control algorithm, we have simulation and testing at actual experimental system. The developed sensorless control system is showing a good speed control response characterisitic result and high performance features in 20/1500 rpm with 1.0Kw RSM having 2.57 ratio of d/q reluctance.

Since the result data from DNA microarray experiments contain a lot of gene expression information, adequate analysis methods are required. Hierarchical clustering is widely used for analysis of gene expression profiles. In this paper, we study leaf-ordering, which is a post-processing for the dendrograms output by hierarchical clusterings to improve the efficiency of DNA microarray data analysis. At first, we analyze existing leaf-ordering algorithms and then present new approaches for leaf-ordering. And we introduce a software HCLO(Hierarchical Clustering ＆ Leaf-Ordering Tool) that is our implementation of hierarchical clustering, some of existing leaf-ordering algorithms and those presented in this paper.

In this paper, we designed a B-WLL MAC(Media Access Control) protocol and validated its operation for implementation of high-speed subscriber networks. Our MAC protocol was designed by SDL using the DAVIC specifications based upon the variable contention/reserved time slot allocation algorithm. For validation of our MAC protocol, Syntax and semantic error check were performed by the Simulation Builder of ObjectGeode and the MAC(Message Sequence Chart) respectively. The validation results showed that our B-WLL MAC protocol is working correctly and may successfully support B-WLL services.

A 30kW electrical power conversion system is developed for a variable speed wind turbine. In the wind energy conversion system(WECS) a synchronous generator with field current excitation converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. As the voltage and the frequency of the generator output vary according to the wind speed, a 6-bridge diode rectifier and a PWM boost chopper is utilized as an ac-dc converter maintaining the constant dc-link voltage with only single switch control. An input current control algorithm for maximum power generation during the variable speed operation is proposed without any usage of speed sensor. Grid connection type PWM inverter converts dc input power to ac output currents into the grid. The active power to the grid is controlled by q-axis current and the reactive power is controlled by d-axis current with appropriate decoupling. The phase angle of utility voltage is detected using software PLL(Phased Locked Loop) in d-q synchronous reference frame. Experimental results from the test of 30kW prototype wind turbine system show that the generator power can be controlled effectively during the variable speed operation without any speed sensor.
