The ability of Zizyphus lotus stem powder (ZLSP) to remove Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from an aqueous solution was evaluated. The present phenomenon of biosorption was revealed to depend on pH, biosorbent dosage, temperature, initial ionic concentration, time of contact and biosorbent's particle size. The sorption process was exothermic (∆H°<0), and showing a strong Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP affinity (∆S°>0). Gibbs free energy data (∆G°<0, and decreases as temperature increase) reveals that the process studied is characterized by its feasibility and spontaneous nature. The best fits of the equilibrium data were obtained by the Temkin model and the Langmuir model. The maximum Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP biosorption capacities were 33.02 mg/g for Pb (II) and 20.73 mg/g for Cd (II). The pseudo-second order model was the most appropriate for fitting the kinetic data. The characterization of the biochemical groups essentially involved in the sorption phenomenon was made possible by FTIR spectral analysis. The capacity of ZLSP as an effective and ecofriendly biosorbent is confirmed through this study.

The wind power plants were installed in many places because of the low climate changing effects since 2000. Generally, the wind power plants located in the seaside and the mountainous area and the heights of the windmills are about 40 m~140 m above the ground level. So the noises emitted from the wind power plants propagate far away compared with other environment noise sources like trains and cars noise. Because of these reasons, the noise emitted from the wind power plant is easy to cause the additional social problems like as noise complaints. Under the situation, the ministry of environment has established the guideline to evaluate the environmental effects for the wind power plant. According to the guideline, the noise of the wind power plant has to meet 55 dB(A) at daytime and 45 dB(A) at night in the residential area, which is regulated in the noise and vibration management law. But, it is difficult to estimate the noise emitted from the wind power plant because of the absence of the prediction model of the wind power plant noise. Therefore, the noise prediction model for wind power plants using the regression analysis method is developed in this study. For the development of the model, the sound pressure levels of the wind power plants in Jeju island are measured and the correlations between the sound pressure levels are analyzed. Finally, the prediction equation of the wind power plant noise using by regression analysis method derived. The prediction equation for the wind power plant noise proposed in this study can be useful to evaluate the environmental effects in any wind power plant development district.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) has developed and implemented the maintenance effectiveness monitoring (MR) programs for the operating nuclear power plants. The MR program is developed by reflecting design characteristics of the operating nuclear power plants to monitor the plant performance for improving the safety and reliability. Recently, KHNP has built a new nuclear power plant, and developed the MR program to establish the advanced maintenance system by reflecting unique design characteristics based on the OPR1000 standard model. So, the MR program developed in this study has another characteristics in comparison with the OPR1000 standard model, and we will verify the suitability of the MR program through evaluating initial performance of the plant. The safety and reliability of the new plant will be improved by developing and implementing the MR program.

A power-plant simulation tool has been developed for training the plant operators and testing a plant control system. The simulation tool is composed of a graphic editor, a component model builder and a system simulation solver. Such new programing techniques as object-oriented modeling and GUI(Graphical User Interface) are employed in developing the simulation tool. The graphic editor is based on the OpenGL library for effective implementation of GUI while the component model builder is based on object-oriented programming for efficient generalization of component models. The developed tool has been verified through the simulation of a real power plant.

ISO 15926 is an international standard for the representation of process plant lifecycle data. However, it is not easy to implement the part 2-data model and the part 4-initial reference data because of their complexity in terms of data structure and shortages of related development toolkits. To overcome this problem, ISO 15926-7(part 7) is under development. ISO 15926-7 specifies implementation methods for sharing and exchange of process plant lifecycle data, which is based on semantic web technologies such as OWL, Web Services, and SPARQL. For the application of ISO 15926-7, this paper discusses how to represent technical specifications of process plant equipment by defining user-defined reference data and object information model with an example of reactor coolant pumps located in the reactor coolant system of an APR 1400 nuclear power plant.

This paper presents a plant control panel model for the analysis. Seismic qualification analysis for the plant control panel is carried out to confirm the structural integrity under the seismic conditions represented by required response spectra(RRS). For the analysis finite element method(FEM) is used. And mode combinations are adopted to obtain the reliability of the spectrum analysis. The analysis results shows that the plant control panel system is designed as a dynamically rigid assembly, without any resonance frequency below 33Hz. The calculated stress of the plant control panel system is much less than yield stress of used steel.

A main goal of this study is to propose a damage detection technique to detect and localize damages of a top-tensioned riser. In this paper, the top-tensioned finite element (FE) model is considered as an analytical model of the riser, and a vibration-based damage detection method is proposed. The present method consists of a FE model updating and damage index method. In order to accomplish the goal of this study, first, a sensitivity-based FE model updating method using natural frequencies and zero frequencies is introduced. Second, natural frequencies and zero frequencies of the axial mode on the top-tensioned riser are estimated by eigenvalue analysis. Finally, the locations and severities of the damages are estimated from the damage index method. Three numerical examples are considered to verify the performance of the proposed method.

The linear model following controller(LMFC) scheme controls a plant based on the output of a reference model, thereby replacing a PI controller that has better time response characteristics, which are irrelevant to the structural perturbation of a plant. However, the main weakness of the LMFC scheme is a slow response time to load changes. Thus, to solve this problem, a robust linear model following controller(RMFC) was developed that is robust in load changes. However, when compared with the LMFC scheme, the RMFC scheme has a weaker performance in the case of system parameter changes. Therefore, this paper presents a new LMFC scheme, where the controller is designed based on the output of a plant rather than the output of a model, as in the case of the conventional LMFC scheme. As a result, in the case of load changes, the response characteristics of the proposed scheme are slower than those of the RMFC scheme, yet laster than those of the conventional LMFC scheme, however, for parameter changes, the proposed scheme has a superior performance over the RMFC scheme. The usefulness of the proposed LMFC scheme is verified through a comparison using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

This paper provides a mathematical approach for estimating flood risks due to the effects of climate change by developing a one dimensional (1D) hydraulic model for the mountainous river reaches located close to the Yeongwol thermal power plant. Input data for the model, including topographical data and river discharges measured every 10 minutes from July $1^{st}$ to September $30^{th}$, 2013, were imported to a 1D hydraulic model. Climate change scenarios were estimated by referencing the climate change adaptation strategies of the government and historical information about the extreme flood event in 2006. The down stream boundary was determined as the friction slope, which is 0.001. The roughness coefficient of the main channels was determined to be 0.036. The results show the effectiveness of the riverbed widening strategy through the six flooding scenarios to reduce flood depth and flow velocity that impact on the power plant. In addition, the impact of upper Namhan River flow is more significant than Dong River.
