This study was conducted to develop a searching algorithm for optimal daily temperature setpoint greenhouse. An algorithm using crop growth and energy models was developed to determine optimum crop growth environment. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Mathematical models for crop growth and energy consumption were derived to define optimal daily temperature setpoint. 2. Optimum temperature setpoint, which could maximize performance criterion, was determined by using Pontryagin maximum principle. 3. Dynamic control of daily temperature using the developed algorithm showed higher performance criterion than static control with fixed temperature setpoint. Performance criteria for dynamic control models were with simulated periodic weather data and with real weather data, increased by 48% and 60%, respectively.

Control algorithms of an air handling unit by using the mixing box plenum pressures were developed and verified by experiments. Control algorithms developed for this study were the setpoint algorithms for the outdoor damper position, the outdoor/fixed plenum pressure, and the return/exhaust plenum pressure. The outdoor/fixed plenum pressure setpoint was used to control the bypass damper position, and the return/exhaust plenum pressure setpoint was used to control the return fan speed. Experimental results showed the good control of the required outdoor air demand. Therefore, setpoint algorithms developed for this study may effectively be applied for the control of the VAV air handling unit.

Condensing gas boiler units may make a big role for the reduction of energy consumption in heating industries. In order to decrease the energy consumption of a condensing gas boiler unit, the effective control of the system is necessary. In this study, control algorithms of a condensing gas boiler were developed. Control algorithms are composed of the setpoint algorithm and the control algorithm. The setpoint algorithm consists of the supply water temperature setpoint algorithm and the pump setpoint algorithm. The control algorithm consists of the gas valve control algorithm and the blower control algorithm. In order to analyse the performance of control algorithms, dynamic models of a condensing gas boiler system were used. Simulation results showed that control algorithms developed for this study may be practically applied to the condensing gas boiler.

In order to protect the environment from the refrigerant pollution, the $CO_2$ may be regarded as one of the most attractive alternative refrigerants for an automotive air-conditioning system. Control methods for a $CO_2$ system should be different because of $CO_2$'s unique properties as a refrigerant. Especially, the high-side pressure of a $CO_2$ system should be controlled for the effective operation of the system. High-side pressure algorithms, which were composed of the pressure setpoint algorithm and the pressure setpoint reset algorithm, were developed. Pressure setpoint algorithms, by using a neural network and by using a least square method, were developed and compared. Pressure setpoint reset algorithms, by using a fuzzy logic and by using a proportional logic, were also developed and compared. Simulation results showed that a least square method was more useful than a neural network for the pressure setpoint algorithm. And a proportional logic was more practical than a fuzzy logic for the pressure setpoint reset algorithm.

The paper describes development and evaluation of a simple method for determining gradient of modified linear setpoint variation to reduce peak electrical cooling demand in buildings using building precooling and setpoint adjustment. The method is an approximated approach for minimizing electrical cooling demand during occupied period in buildings and involves modified linear adjustment of cooling setpoint temperature between $26^{\circ}C$ and $28^{\circ}C$. The gradient of linear variation or final time of linear increase is determined based on the cooling load shape in conventional cooling control having a constant setpoint temperature. The potential to reduce peak cooling demand using the simple method was evaluated through building simulation for a calibrated office building model considering four different weather conditions. The simple method showed about 30% and 20% in terms of reducing peak cooling demand and chiller power consumption, respectively, compared to the conventional control.

Refrigerant flow rates of the multi-type air-conditioning system can be regulated by electronic expansion valves (EEV). The performance of the multi-type air-conditioning system may be improved by lowering the superheat at the compressor suction side. In this study, a superheat temperature setpoint reset algorithm was developed by using fuzzy logics, and a PI algorithm was applied to control the superheat temperature near setpoints. Experimental results showed energy savings and stable operations at a multi-type air-conditioning system. Therefore, the developed setpoint reset algorithm may be effectively used for the EEV superheat temperature control of the multi-type air-conditioning system.

원자로 안전한계 설정의 근본목적은 핵연료 및 원자료 계통의 건전성을 보장할 수 있도록 원자로 운전조건을 제한하자는 데 있다. 원자로 보호계통은 원자로 운전변수들이 트립설정치에 도달하게 되면 원자로를 긴급정지시켜 운전조건이 안전한계를 초과하지 못하도록 한다. 따라서 이들 트립설정치의 생산을 위해서는 계산과 측정오차를 충분히 고려해 주어야 한다. 본 기술보고서에서는 웨스팅하우스 원자로 보호계통 트립설정치의 생산에 따른 기본원리와 노심 안전한계의 개발방법 및 트립설정치의 생산절차를 검토하였다. 웨스팅하우스 보호계통 트립설정치의 생산원리는 노심의 안전한계를 계산하고 측정 및 계산에 따른 불확실성을 충분히 고려하여 보수적인 트립설정치를 생산함으로써 핵연료의 용융과 DNB가 발생하지 않도록 하자는 데 있다.

본 연구에서는 주사탐침현미경을 이용한 Si 표면의 국부 산화피막 형성에 있어서, 탐침이 움직이면서 생기는 $SiO_2$의 일차원적인 선의 높이가 탐침 전위, deflection setpoint, 탐침 속도에 의해 어떻게 영향을 받는지 고찰해 보았다. -3 V 보다 작은 탐침 전위에서는 국부 산화피막 형성이 관찰되지 않았으며 -3 V 보다 큰 탐침 전위에서는, 탐침 속도가 $1{\mu}m/s$일 때, 1 V씩 증가함에 따라 0.47nm의 비율로 선의 높이가 높아졌다. Deflection setpoint는 탐침이 가하는 기계적인 힘의 표지가 되는데, $12\sim18nN$ 정도의 힘이 가해지지 않으면 국부 산화피막 형성이 관찰되지 않았다. 그 이상의 힘이 가해져야 국부 산화피막 형성이 관찰되는데 이때 선의 높이는 기계적인 힘과 무관하였다. 탐침 속도가 빨라짐에 따라 선의 높이는 낮아졌으나, 탐침 전위가 -5V인 경우, 0.7nm 이하로 낮아지지는 않았다.
