The helicopter flies at low level flight mode in its own operational range comparing to other aircraft categories. The low level flight means that the engine operates at variable atmospheric condition such as hot and cold temperature, snow, heavy rain, etc. Furthermore it may increase the entering possibility of engine foreign object damage particles like sand, dust, etc., i.e. this operating condition gives rise to damages of engine gas path components. An on-line condition monitoring program was developed by using SIMULINK, where measurement signals were simulated as an input module. The reliability and capability of the developed on-line condition monitoring were confirmed through application to a real helicopter engine health monitoring.

In this paper, we design data transformation interface for the automation of PCB product. The data designed to CAD does not exchange itself for the assembly line, so we construct an automation system which is exchangeable. To do this, we analyze the information of PCB components and construct the Information of IC components as database. We also develope two kinds of algorithm; one is to detect human error and another is to exchange itself for the data which is suitable for PCB assembly line. We design data transformation interface to do addition and revision of the information for PCB assembly line. By automating existing manual processing, we are able to shorten access time and enhance reliability of the data and the efficient assembly line of PCB.

The waterhammer occured when the pumps are started or stopped for the operation or tripped due to the power failure, the hydraulic transients occur as a result of the sudden change in velocity. The field tests of the waterhammer were carried out for PanGyo booster pumping station. The PanGyo pumuing station was installed booster pump of 6 sets and in-line pump of 2 sets. The main surge suppression device was equipped with the pump control valve and the surge relief valve as auxiliary. However, the pump control valve had not early controlled in the planned closing mode, and the slamming occurred to the valve of which abruptly closed during the large reverse flow. Because the pressure wave caused by the pump failure was superposed on the slam surge, the upsurge increased so extremely that the shaft of the valve was damaged. After the addition surge suppression device was equipped with air chamber. Further more in-line pump is needed surge suppression device that the pumping station acquired the safety and reliability for the pressure surge.

KSNPs(Korea Standard Nuclear Power Plant) have been applied the break exclusion criteria to the high energy lines passing through containment penetration area to ensure that piping failures would not cause the loss of containment isolation function, and to reduce the resulting dynamic effects. Systems with the criteria are the Main Steam system, Feed Water system, Steam Generator Blowdown system, and Chemical & Volume Control system. In accordance with FSAR(Final Safety Analysis Report), a 100% volumetric examination by augmented in-service inspection of all pipe welds appled the break exclusion criteria is required for the break exclusion application piping. However, it is difficult to fully satisfy the requirements of inspection because 12", 8" and 6" weldolet weldments of Main Steam pipe line have complex structural shapes. To resolve the difficulty on the application of conventional UT(Ultrasonic Testing) technique, realistic mock-ups and UT calibration blocks were made. Simulations of conventional UT were performed utilizing CIVA, a commercial NDE(Nondestructive Examination) simulation software. Phased array UT experiments were performed through mock-up including artificial notch type flaws. A phased array UT technique is finally developed to improve the reliability of ultrasonic test at main steam line pipe to 12", 8" and 6" branch connection weld.

After introducing diagnosis equipment power failure prevention activities for distribution system have become more active. To do facility diagnosis and maintenance work more efficiently we need to evaluate reliability for the system and should determine the priority line with appropriate criteria. Thus, to calculate risk factor for the power distribution line that are composed of many component facilities its historical failure events for the last 5 years are collected and analysed. The failure statics show that more than 60% of various failures are related to environment factors randomly and about 20% of the failures are refer to the aging. As a strategic evaluation system reflecting these environmental influence is needed, a system on the basis of the probabilistic approach related statical variables in terms of failure rate and failure probability of electrical components is proposed. The figures for the evaluation are derived from the field failure DB. With adopting Bayesian rule we can calculate easily about conditional probability query. The proposed evaluation system is demonstrated with model system and the calculated indices representing the properties of the model line are discussed.

In order to improve the reliability of high voltage rotating machines, it is necessary to understand the breakdown mechanism of stator windings. Especially partial discharge(PD) inception and growth are important in stator winding insulation. Recently, many research on the diagnosis of stator winding insulation for large rotating machines have been developed since the 1970s. Capacitive couplers have been the most widely used sensor for on-line partial discharge detection in rotating machines. This paper deals with the electrical on-line monitor characteristics of ceramic coupler(CC) which has been developed to continuously measure the PD activity in operating high voltage motor stator windings on site. We investigated the electrical characteristics(PD quantity, breakdown voltage and frequency response) to develop CC. This paper presents frequency characteristics and laboratory test result to compare conventional 80([F] epoxy-mica coupler(EMC) and 105[pF] CC for PD measurement with 6.6㎸ model stator windings.

Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies are arguably the most important AGN subclass in investigating the origin of the black hole mass-galaxy stellar velocity dispersion (MBH-${\sigma}$) relation because of their high accretion rates close to the Eddington limit. Currently, it is still under discussion whether NLS1s are off from the local MBH-${\sigma}$ relation. We select a sample of 325 NLS1 at relatively low redshift (z<0.1) from the SDSS DR7 by constraining FWHM of $H{\beta}$ in the range of 800-2,200 km/s. Among them, we measured stellar velocity dispersion of 40 objects which show strong stellar absorption lines, e.g. Mg b triplet(${\sim}5175{\AA}$), Fe($5270{\AA}$). In contrast, the other 285 objects show too weak stellar absorption lines to measure velocity dispersion. Using the sample of 40 objects with stellar velocity dispersion measurements, we investigate whether NLS1s follow the same MBH-${\sigma}$ relation as normal galaxies and broad line AGNs. We also test the reliability of the width of narrow lines as a surrogate of stellar velocity dispersion by comparing directly measured stellar velocity dispersion with ${\sigma}$ inferred from [O III], [N II], [S II] line widths, respectively. We will discuss the connection between AGN activity in NLS1s and galaxy evolution based on these results.

Recently, development and application of the condition monitoring and diagnostic system for improvement of durability and reliability and reduction of operating cost is generalized in the aircraft propulsion system. Especially, for reliable operation of the UAV which is flying in high altitude more than 40,000 ft for a long time an condition monitoring system to identify faults and degradations of its propulsion system should be needed. Therefore, this work proposes an on-line condition monitoring program using MATLAB/SIMULINK. In the development phase of the program, a engine signal generation module is used to simulate real engine measuring parameters instead of the real engine. The proposed on-line condition monitoring program was applied to a real turboprop engine to validate its application capability.

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.

In many countries, including Korea, in order to transmit the more electric power, the higher transmission line voltage is inevitable. So, a rapid reclosing scheme is important for UHV transmission lines to ensure requirements for high reliability of main lines. But, because of the high voltage and long span of UHV lines, the secondary arc current flows across the fault point even after the interruption of the fault current. i.e. A critical aspect of reclosing operation is the extinction of the secondary arc since it must extinguish before successful reclosure can occur. In Korea transmission lines, it is scheduled to energize 765kV single transmission line(79km) between Sin-Ansung S/S and Sin-Gapyeong S/S at June 2006. Therefore this paper analyzes characteristics of the secondary arc extinction on 765kV single transmission line using EMTP. Simulation results shows that the average value of the secondary arc is $30A_{rms}$ and the auto-extinction time of it is longer at closer point to Sin-Gapyeong S/S.
