안전하고 효율적인 원자력 발전소의 운전은 디지탈 기술을 이용한 발전소 자동화로 이루어질 수 있다는 인식과 함께 이같은 발전소 자동화는 차세대 원자력 발전소의 중요한 목표중의 하나가 되고 있다. 전체적인 발전소 수준의 자동화를 위해서는 일차적으로 각 주요 시스템에 대한 디지털화가 요구되며 본 논문에서는 증기발생기의 수위조절 시스템에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 증기발생기의 열수력학적 모델을 이용하여 증기발생기에 작용하는 여러가지 입력과 수위와의 관계를 전달함수로 표시하였으며 이를 이용하여 기존의 발전소에서 사용되고 있는 3 요소 제어시스템을 검토하였다. 본 논문에서의 제어구성은 증기발생기 그 자체를 시스템내에 플랜트로서 포함시킨 것이기 때문에 전체적인 시스템 차수가 증가하며 디지탈 과정중 수치적 불안정이 야기된다. 이러한 문제와 아울러 저출력에서는 궤환신호로 작용하는 급수유량의 신뢰도가 작음을 고려하여 2 요소 제어시스템 및 그에 따른 디지탈 제어기에 대해 연구하였다. 이 시스템의 디지탈 비례적분제어기는 그 이득 및 적분시간상수가 초기출력에 따라 변하며 전체적인 시스템의 응답특성이 안정성 및 기타 제어 특성을 동시에 만족시키도록 하고 있다. 이러한 제어기를 사용한 2 요소 제어시스템은 초기출력에만 의존하므로 정의하기가 간단하며 또 이러한 시스템의 수위응답은 그에 대응하는 아날로그 시스템의 결과와 비슷함을 보이고 있다.

Robotics and automation are rapidly growing in the industries replacing human labor. The idea of robots replacing humans is positively influencing the business thereby increasing its scope of research. This paper discusses the development of an experimental platform controlled by a robotic arm through Robot Operating System (ROS). ROS is an open source platform over an existing operating system providing various types of robots with advanced capabilities from an operating system to low-level control. We aim in this work to control a 7-DOF manipulator arm (Robai Cyton Gamma 300) equipped with an external vision camera system through ROS and demonstrate the task of balancing a ball on a plate-type end effector. In order to perform feedback control of the balancing task, the ball is designed to be tracked using a camera (Sony PlayStation Eye) through a tracking algorithm written in C++ using OpenCV libraries. The joint actuators of the robot are servo motors (Dynamixel) and these motors are directly controlled through a low-level control algorithm. To simplify the control, the system is modeled such that the plate has two-axis linearized motion. The developed system along with the proposed approaches could be used for more complicated tasks requiring more number of joint control as well as for a testbed for students to learn ROS with control theories in robotics.

This paper presents a simple switching method to generate a PWM pattern mostly relevant to signle-phase three-level PWM rectifier. The adopted PWM switching pattern is performed in a manner similar to the space vector PWM method, which is popularly used in the three-phase rectifier and inverter. A set of possible voltages has been selected so that an equation with a time integral considered within a sampling period should be satisfied every sampling time. The simulation result shows that the proposed control scheme is good in some performance criteria such as unity power factor, low harmonic distortion of input current, dynamic response and voltage balancing of two series-connected DC capacitors.

In this paper, an integrated method for the path planning and motion control of wheeled mobile robots using a hybrid system model and control is presented. The hybrid model including the continuous dynamics and discrete dynamics with the continuous and discrete state vector is derived for a two wheel driven mobile robot. The architecture of the hybrid control system for real time path planning and following is designed which has the 3-layered hierarchical structure : the discrete event system using the digital automata as the higher process, the continuous state system for the wheel velocity controls as the lower process, and the interface system as the interaction process between the continuous system as the low level and the discrete event system as the high level. The reference motion commands for autonomous navigation are generated by the abstracted motion in the discrete event system. The motion control tasks including the feasible path planning and autonomous motion control with various initial conditions are investigated as the applications by the simulation studies.

Many dynamic control have been proposed; however, most of them are limited within stage of simulation study. The main reason is that the computations required for inverse dynamics are far beyond the ability of the present commercially available microprocessors. In this paper, In order to achieve real-time processing in robot dynamic control, a parallel processing computer for robot dynamic control is implemented using two transputer. Two transputer compute two degree of freedom robot. The transputer is a special purpose MPU for parallel processing. Transputers are used in networks to build a high performance concurrent system. A network of transputers and peripheral controllers is constructed using point-to-point communication. To gain most benifit from the transputer architecture, the whole system is programmed in OCCAM which is a high level language for concurrent applications. This control algorithm is applied to the RHINO SCARA type manipulator. We could taked about 438.6 microseconds to compute robot dynamic with two-processors.

A controller and sensor fault tolerant system jot a steam generator is designed with fuzzy logic. A structure of the : proposed fault tolerant redundant system is composed of a supervisor and two fuzzy weighting modulators. A supervisor alternatively checks a controlled and a sensor induced performances to identify Which Part, a controller or a sensor, is faulty. In order to analyze controller induced performance both an error and a charge in error of the system output an chosen as fuzzy variables. The fuzzy logic jot a sensor induced performance uses two variables : a deviation between two sensor outputs and its frequency, Fuzzy weighting modulator generates an output signal compensated for faulty input signal. Simulations show that the : proposed fault tolerant control scheme jot a steam generator regulates welt water level by suppressing fault effect of either controllers or sensors. Therefore through duplicating sensors and controllers with the proposed fault tolerant scheme, both a reliability of a steam generator control and sensor system and that of a power plant increase even mote.

In this paper, the development of a fiber optic network for an integrated digital protection relay system is described. The structure of the developed network is determined to loosen the optic requirements and to have good extensibility while providing sufficient functions for protection and control for substations. The network has a hierarchical structure with two levels. The upper level handles data for monitoring and control of the system with star topology. The lower level manages the real time data for bus protection with one-to-one connections. Communication flows of each level are described. The HDLC is employed as the network protocol.

This paper considers the application of mobile robot to the herding problem. The herding problem involves a ‘pursuer’ trying to herd a moving ‘evader’ to a predefined location. In this paper, two mobile robots act as pursuer and evader in the fenced area, where the pursuer robot uses a fuzzy cooperative decision strategy (FCDS) in the herding algorithm. To herd evader robot to a predefined position, the pursuer robot calculates strategic herding point and then navigates to that point using FCDS. FCDS consists of a two-level hierarchy: low level motion descriptors and a high level coordinator. In order to optimize the FCDS, we use the multi­thread evolutionary programming algorithm. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the real mobile robot system and its performance is demonstrated using experimental results.

There have been few studies which deal with the linkage between a corporate strategy and its management control system. Especially, no empirical study has been done in Korea to figure out if management control systems of Korean companies are designed and implemented to support companies' objectives and strategies. Based on the survey results of 68 companies we empirically tested if Korean companies are implementing appropriate control systems to complement their Quality strategies. Two representative quality strategies were classified into ECL(Economic Conformance-Level) and ZD(Zero-Defect) strategy. It was measured by a set of seven attitude questions addressing whether the managers adhered to ECL strategy or ZD Quality strategy. In addition, we checked if there is a difference m the level of commitment to the quality depending on the adoption of quality cost system. The results partly support the second hypothesis and regarding the first analysis we can conclude that there is not a strong linkage between Korean companies' ZD strategy and their management control systems.
