Abstract:
This paper provides a case study of the application of cost management techniques for project management of capital works within a major Australian electricity corporation. Historical data was collected from the corporation's archived files to establish the performance status of completed capital works projects. A survey of the corporation's project staff was also conducted to determine the current usage of cost management techniques and further explore the findings of the historical data search.The research indicates a reluctance to utilise formal cost management procedures on minor projects, estimated to cost less than $1 million. The time constraints allocated to project management planning and the perceived cost to implement procedures were identified as contributing to the limited use of formal cost management on minor projects.The paper concludes that increased risk of poor budget performance is inevitable if formal cost control is not applied to capital works projects, and recommends informal risk assessment and cost contingency measures to address this issue.

Abstract:
Abstract There is considerable merit in thinking of the modern multidivisional corporation as an economy within itself. There is an important similarity between the interaction of divisions within a corporation and the perfectly competitive economic model formulated by Leon Walras1. When we look at modern corporations from this viewpoint we discover that much of what we know in general equilibrium economics may have considerable application inside modern corporations. Some of our existing theorems help clarify distinctions between decentralization and central control in corporate management in the same way that they clarify the distinctions between the market economies and those that run by central decree. They help distinguish which divisions must be centrally managed and those which can be left to look after themselves. This viewpoint offers new insights too—that, for instance, the products transferred between divisions may quite logically have two transfer prices instead of one. This viewpoint also permits an easy synthesis of the existing literature on transfer pricing. While the transfer pricing issue is especially important for multinational and international corporations which transfer goods and services between divisions located in different countries, the principles generally apply to any multidivisional corporation. The purposes of this paper are to present a simple, but general analytic model of the multidivisional corporation, to use it to make a synthesis of the existing literature on transfer pricing, and to make some important new discoveries. 1 Léon Walras, Elements of Pure Economics, édité et traduit par W. Jaffe (London : George Allen and Unwin, 1954).

Abstract:
The countries with developed market economies have vast experience in using the statistical methods in running business. In this respect, the use of Six Sigma techniques and tools to control the output (service) quality is worthwhile. This technique, if introduced in Georgia, can be much beneficial for the businessmen. Different-profile companies use different statistical methods for the output (service) quality control. However, it is the Six Sigma techniques that yield the most pragmatic outputs. This tool enables the different-tier managers to rely not only on their intuition in making managerial decisions but also on the quantitative data obtained through the introduction of 6σ to their companies. The measures to search for the modern methods of introduction and better use of the 6σ concept seek to improve the output (production) quality of different sites of a corporation, while also meeting the changing demands of customer markets and shareholders. In the search of such measures, the authors of the present article attempted to examine the effect of the 6σ set beyond the limits of a corporation and, by considering the public opinion about the corporation, conduct the statistical control of the output (service) offered by the corporation to its clients. The pilot study, accomplished with this purpose by the authors of the article, together with their students, gave quite interesting results.

Abstract:
Economic reforms introduced in India during 1991–92 had triggered the process of economic development in the country. It is from this period a structural shift occurred in Indian industry. The liberalization has also facilitated the Indian industries to sell their products throughout the world market. As the multinational Corporation normally own, manage, and control production, they can sell their products all over the world without much difficulty. After the announcement of globalization in India, the number of multinational corporation had increased from 389 (1981) to 2303 (1996), about six fold increase in 15 years period. The present paper examines how multinational corporations help regional development. A case study approach was followed. Both primary and secondary data were collected from the Whirlpool India Limited for a period of 18 years, starting from 1983–84 to 2000–01. By using simple growth rate and regression analysis this study found that there is a favourable shift in employment and infrastructure development in the region. After the establishment of the MNC, the region has received various benefits, namely employment, better road and transportation, local markets, hospitals, street lights, drinking water and other infrastructural facilities. Further more, this MNC has not harmed the growth of tiny and small scale industries in the region. In fact, the MNC has helped many small-scale industries to establish their industries in the region.

Abstract:
The primary purpose of this research was to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of security control of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) communication network used by infrastructure companies. Initially, the SCADA networks were physically separated from other networks connected to the internet and hence assumed secure. However, the modern SCADA are now integrated with other network resulting in new security vulnerabilities and attacks similar to those found in traditional IT. Thus, it is important to reassess the security controls of the SCADA because it is operated in an open network environment. In this research, a case of the SCADA security controls in the power sector in Tanzania was assessed, whereby a specific SCADA implementation was studied. The data were gathered using observation, testing, interviews, questionnaire and documentation reviews. The results were analyzed using the Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET) and checked for compliance based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and North America Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards. The findings have shown that there exist security vulnerabilities both in security compliance of the standard and component-based vulnerabilities. Additionally, there is inadequate of audit and accountability, personnel security and system and information integrity. Also, for the component-based security compliance, the finding shows that identification and authentication, security management and audit and accountability. On the basis of the results, the research has indicated the areas that require immediate action in order to protect the critical infrastructure.

This paper describes the behavior of adaptive control using the MIT rule for a polar aligned single axis tracking system, it´s for increase the efficiency of solar energy capturing compared to a polar fixed system, where the response of system is analyzed by simulation in Simulink – MATLAB® software. The data input for estimate the energy in the photovoltaic panels is the radiation data, that is obtained by weather station of the CAR (regional autonomous corporation) situated in the zone of study. The objective of the integration between the photovoltaic panel and the mechanics tracking system is to keep the perpendicular sunlight during the day. The MIT adaptive control tries to reduce possible errors, such a sun position data deviations, friction and environmental changes in the conventional solar tracking. This control was designed according to a typical polar aligned single axis tracker.

Abstract:
The modern automobile is a complex electromechanical system controlled by control systems which consist of several interdependent electronic control units (ECUs). Analysis of the data generated by these modules is very important in order to observe the interesting patterns among data. At Volvo Cars Corporation today, diagnostic read-out data is retrieved from client machines installed at workshops in different countries around the world. The problem with this data is that it does not show a clear picture as what is causing what i.e. tracking the problem. Diagnostic engineers at Volvo Cars Corporation perform routine based statistical analysis of diagnostic read-out data manually, which is time consuming and tedious work. Moreover, this analysis is restricted to basic level mainly statistical analysis of diagnostic readout data. We present an approach based on statistical analysis and cluster analysis. Our approach focused on analysing the data from a pure statistical stand-point to isolate the problem in diagnostic read-out data, thereby helping to visualize and analyse the nature of the problem at hand. Different general statistical formulae were applied to get meaningful information from large amount of DRO data. Cluster analysis was carried out to get clusters consisting of similar trouble codes. Different methods and techniques were considered for the purpose of cluster analysis. Hierarchical and non-hierarchical clusters were extracted by applying appropriate algorithms. The results obtained from the thesis work show that the diagnostic read-out data consist of independent and interdependent fault codes. Groups were generated which consist of similar trouble codes. Furthermore, corresponding factors from freeze frame data which shows significant variation for these groups were also extracted. These faults, groups of faults and factors were later interpreted and validated by diagnostic engineers.

Para melhor compreender a estrutura de governança corporativa das instituições financeiras brasileiras, a relação entre dois mecanismos de controle corporativo interno foram estudados: a estrutura de propriedade e o conselho de administração. A utilização destes mecanismos tem como objetivo harmonizar os interesses das partes envolvidas. Dado este objetivo comum, a relação de causalidade estabelecida na eleição dos conselheiros pela assembleia de acionistas origina o interesse em testar se o conselho de administração é uma função da estrutura de pro-priedade. Com este intuito, foram investigadas a concentração de propriedade, a concentração do capital votante, a presença de insider ownership, o tamanho do conselho de administração, o percentual de conselheiros independentes e a dualidade de presidência em 88 instituições financeiras brasileiras, entre 2001 e 2011. Os dados foram analisados com metodologia de dados em painel com efeitos fixos. Os resultados indicaram que algumas características da constituição do conselho de administração são função da estrutura de propriedade. Tanto para o tamanho do conselho de administração, quanto para a independência do conselho de admi-nistração as hipóteses nulas, de que as variáveis insider ownership, concentração de proprie-dade e concentração de capital votante não possuem poder explicativo sobre as variáveis de-pendentes puderam ser rejeitadas Contudo, a relação de causalidade testada não indica neces-sariamente uma relação de equilíbrio para boas práticas de governança corporativa. A escolha arbitrária do conselho de administração pelos acionistas/proprietários pode levar às constituições de conselhos que tragam às instituições financeiras uma imagem de boa governança, cercadas de interesses e delimitadas pelas regras dos órgãos reguladores.
To better understand the corporate governance structure of Brazilian financial institutions, the relationship between two internal corporate control mechanisms were studied: the owner-ship structure and the board. The use of these mechanisms aims to harmonize the interests of the parties involved. Given this common goal, the causal link established in the election of directors by the shareholders' meeting originates interest in testing whether the board is a function of the structure of ownership. To this end, we investigated the concentration of own-ership, the concentration of the voting capital, the presence of insider ownership, the size of the board, the percentage of independent directors and dual presidency in 88 Brazilian finan-cial institutions between 2001 and 2011. Data were analyzed using the methodology of panel data fixed effects. The results indicated that some features of the constitution of the board are a function of ownership structure. So much for the size of the board, and for the independence of the board of administration the null hypothesis, that the insider ownership variables, con-centration of ownership and voting concentration have no explanatory power variables-pending could be rejected, however, the causal tested does not indicate necessarily a bal-anced relation to good corporate governance practices. The arbitrary choice of the board of directors by the shareholders / owners can take to the constitutions of advice to financial in-stitutions to bring an image of good governance, surrounded interests and bounded by the rules of the regulatory bodies.

Abstract:
The vehicles of tomorrow will be more sophisticated, intelligent and safe than the vehicles of today. The future is leaning towards fully autonomous vehicles. This degree project provides a data driven solution for a speed adaptation system that can be used to compute a vehicle speed for curves, suitable for the underlying driving style of the driver, road properties and weather conditions. A speed adaptation system for curves aims to compute a vehicle speed suitable for curves that can be used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) or in Autonomous Driving (AD) applications. This degree project was carried out at Volvo Car Corporation. Literature in the field of speed adaptation systems and factors affecting the vehicle speed in curves was reviewed. Naturalistic driving data was both collected by driving and extracted from Volvo's data base and further processed. A novel speed adaptation system for curves was invented, implemented and evaluated. This speed adaptation system is able to compute a vehicle speed suitable for the underlying driving style of the driver, road properties and weather conditions. Two different artificial neural networks and two mathematical models were used to compute the desired vehicle speed in curves. These methods were compared and evaluated.

Abstract:
Presented as partial requirement for obtaining the Master’s degree in Statistics and Information Management, with a specialization in Information Analysis and Management
Handling large amounts of granular data of non-financial corporations’ balance sheet and profit and loss statement to fulfil the assigned functions of the Central Balance Sheet Data Office (CBSDO) requires the design and implementation of various layers of quality control that combined with the review of expert analysts to ensure databases with a statistical quality at the expected height of the Statistics Department of an institution such as Banco de España. Recently, under the umbrella of the quality control systems of the CBSDO, a new outlier detection system has been designed and implemented, the “Outsider’s method”, through which those observations that deviate considerably from the behaviour of companies regarding sector clustering, according to NACE classification, and size, will be eliminated from database and will maintain those that still have a behaviour that is far from standard but consistent with the reality of mentioned Nonfinancial corporations. The purpose of this project is to explain the methodology of this new system, obtain results for different extractions periodically established over several years, analyse these results, and finally test the system's validity by comparing it with other detection methods traditionally used by other statistical entities.

Abstract:
This study centered on a novel thermoelectric generator (TEG) integrated into the built environment. Designed by Watts Thermoelectric LLC, the TEG is essentially a novel assembly of thermoelectric modules whose required temperature differential is supplied by hot and cold streams of water flowing through the TEG. Per its recommended operating conditions, the TEG nominally generates 83 Watts of electrical power. In its default configuration in the built environment, solar-thermal energy serves as the TEG’s hot stream source and geothermal energy serves as its cold stream source. Two systems-level, thermodynamic analyses were performed, which were based on the TEG’s upcoming characterization testing, scheduled to occur later in 2011 in Detroit, Michigan. The first analysis considered the TEG coupled with a solar collector system. A numerical model of the coupled system was constructed in order to estimate the system’s annual energetic performance. It was determined numerically that over the course of a sample year, the solar collector system could deliver 39.73 megawatt-hours (MWh) of thermal energy to the TEG. The TEG converted that thermal energy into a net of 266.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity in that year. The second analysis focused on the TEG itself during operation with the purpose of providing a preliminary thermodynamic characterization of the TEG. Using experimental data, this analysis found the TEG’s operating efficiency to be 1.72%. Next, the annual emissions that would be avoided by implementing the zero-emission TEG were considered. The emission factor of Michigan’s electric grid, RFCM, was calculated to be 0.830 tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e) per MWh, and with the TEG’s annual energy output, it was concluded that 0.221 tons CO2e would be avoided each year with the TEG. It is important to note that the TEG can be linearly scaled up by including additional modules. Thus, these benefits can be multiplied through the incorporation of more TEG units. Finally, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the TEG integrated into the built environment with the solar-thermal hot source and passive ground-based cold source was considered. The LCOE of the system was estimated to be approximately $8,404/MWh, which is substantially greater than current generation technologies. Note that this calculation was based on one particular configuration with a particular and narrow set of assumptions, and is not intended to be a general conclusion about TEG systems overall. It was concluded that while solar-thermal energy systems can sustain the TEG, they are capital-intensive and therefore not economically suitable for the TEG given the assumptions of this analysis. In the end, because of the large costs associated with the solar-thermal system, waste heat recovery is proposed as a potentially more cost-effective provider of the TEG’s hot stream source.

Abstract:
Abstract The suprachoroidal outflow pathway has the potential to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly but has been associated with sight-threatening complications including severe and prolonged hypotony. Historically, suprachoroidal devices have been implanted ab externo requiring a conjunctival peritomy and scleral flap dissection. Additionally, the long-term efficacy of previous attempts to harness this space has been disappointing due to occlusion of implanted devices by fibrosis in the suprachoroidal space. More recently, there have been a number of suprachoroidal devices that are injected ab interno., including the CyPass Micro-Stent (Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fortworth, Texas, USA), the iStent Supra (Glaukos Corporation, San Clemente, CA, USA) and the MINIject (iSTAR Medical Isnes, Belgium). These have utilized a clear corneal entry, thereby sparing the conjunctiva. Early results with these ab-interno devices showed safety and efficacy in IOP-lowering that is similar to Schlemm’s canal minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices and procedures. Despite the ab-interno approach, their long-term efficacy also seems to be limited by fibrosis. In addition, the first commercially available ab-interno suprachoroidal device, the CyPass Micro-Stent, has been voluntarily withdrawn globally by the manufacturer in August 2018, after 5-year follow-up data demonstrated a higher level of endothelial cell loss with the device than in controls. The iStent Supra and MINIject are not yet available commercially.

As the world goes through a paper-less environment, electronic banking solutions are more welcome by most of the corporations. It is important that companies control their cash management electronically. Banking services provide such solutions to satisfy customers' needs. This study focuses on E-Banking usage data to identify the customers' behavior. When a corporation wants to keep or promote its position in the market, churn management can be considered as an efficient solution. Basically, Churn Management will shape the customers into segments in order for the corporation to focus on the customers that are closer to be out of the portfolio.

Abstract:
Data integrity is essential to every organization and to every healthcare practitioner in order to ensure the correct use of patient information to optimize care. It provides the assurance that the data you see every day is the same as it was the day before. It assures you that the drug dosage regimen “QID,” whether you define it as four times daily or four times daily with meals and at bedtime, is applied using the same parameters for every patient, as you define a patient, across every day (or any time period), as you define day in your health care setting. Definitions about data must be made by the business person (the practitioner), rather than by Information Technology (IT). Only by doing this can appropriate business rules by applied by a database, which manages the information used in electronic medical records. Once a decision is made about what a datum represents, whether by an individual or a group, it is imperative that the decision remain consistent over time. Should the definition evolve, it is also imperative that that evolution be tracked. Thus, organizations must establish governance committees to maintain consistency both across an organization and across time. Governance committees must have the highest level of authority to ensure that rules are not overridden on a casual, intermittent basis. Once business rules for data have been established, use of a relational database provides one of the strongest tools for ensuring that data integrity is maintained. This chapter explores the concepts serving as the foundation for today’s relational database management systems. A top-down approach is described using an Entity-Relationship diagram that can be used to create a relational model for implementation in a relational database management system. A bottom-up approach is described using functional dependencies and normalization.

Abstract:
The overall development of business operations logistics activities becomes more important for firms with the globalization of economy and therefore performance measurement being equally important. In order to break monopolistic control of Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), Indian Railways entered for competition in the container segment in January 2006 through private-public participation for customer centric competitiveness. The purpose of this book chapter is to benchmark the performance indicators in CONCOR. A case study has been conducted employing super-efficiency models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on secondary data of CONCOR container terminals from 1994-95 till 2015-16 for performance evaluation within CONCOR. The exercise identified efficiency trends fluctuating between 75.83% to 109.51% (CCR Model) and 93.52% to 1000% (BCC Model) within CONCOR owing to lack of operational planning and lack of efficient staff.

Abstract:
This chapter examines why and how digitalization is pushing organizations to adopt team-based structures, greater transparency, and agile work cultures. I draw attention to a shift in focus from efficient routines towards greater adaptability, and elaborate the paradoxical effect that digital data has in both eliminating and generating coordination needs within corporations. The chapter introduces six basic approaches to organizing and discusses their relative advantages and disadvantages in leveraging digital technologies. I elaborate how focus on agility has redefined the basis of control in organizations, called into question the prevalent ‘culture of secrecy’ in corporations, and eroded traditional sources of authority. The chapter concludes by discussing how modularity has reshaped the network of relationships around corporations and increased the strategic importance of digital ecosystems and platforms.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the evolution, opportunities, succession model, and sustainability challenges of formal and informal family businesses in Nigeria. Using qualitative research method, while relying on content analysed secondary data, the chapter found that the family businesses that evolved in Nigeria laid the foundation for socio-economic development, and they contributed immensely to employment generation, stimulation of indigenous entrepreneurship, mobilization of idle savings, and growth of gross domestic product. Family businesses in Nigeria prefer relay succession planning for transferring control to family members. The major sustainability challenges include poor succession planning, harsh macro-economic environment, conflict of interest, emotional family problems, parochial family vision, absence of mentoring, competition from multinational corporation, poor access to funding, inadequate entrepreneurial knowledge, weak financial management, bad governance, and a host of others. The chapter concludes with research implications, limitations, and suggestions for further research.

Abstract:
This chapter studies spatio temporal trends of air quality, its relation with urban forms, and Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Kolkata Metropolitan Area, the world's 55th most polluted city according to the World Health Organization. Air quality data were procured from 34 monitoring stations operated by West Bengal Pollution Control Board for 2005-18. Trend analysis showed declining NO2, SO2 values but a rise in PM10 concentration. Interpolation analysis showed high concentration of pollutants along the Hugli industrial belt, Dhulagarh, and Kolkata Municipal Corporation Area. Urban forms such as built-up density, distances from water bodies, parks, and bus stops demonstrated their reasonable influence on air pollution condition. LST generated from Landsat Thermal Infrared bands showed increase in temperature conditions from 2005-2018. Positive Correlation was identified between Land surface temperature and air pollution. Their relationship was assessed to have become stronger over the decades.

Abstract:
One of the aims of the Colombian Ministry of Defense in the field of science and technology is to develop and build in-house simulators for training. An important prerequisite in the development of these types of simulators is to have accurate knowledge about the forces that act on the particular type of ship being considered. In the pursuit of this objective, the Science & Technology Corporation for the Development of the Shipbuilding Industry in Colombia — COTECMAR has established a research program for the development of physics-based models to predict the generalized forces acting on maneuvering ships. The following article proposes a mathematical model capable of providing the simulator with calculations for the hydrodynamic forces acting on three types of ships: displacement ships, submarines and planning hulls. Derived from slender-body theory (SBT), the mathematical model presented minimizes computational time and eliminates the need for experimental data, making it possible to use the calculation of hydrodynamics forces at the initial stages of design when the geometry of the ship is constantly revised and the effect of those changes in the dynamic performance of the ship needs to be assessed. The article explains the mathematical model proposed and its modular nature, compares existing numerical and experimental data with results obtained from this study for the three case studies selected: displacement ships, submarines and planing hulls.

Full text
Abstract:
The Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation (BMPC) Integrated System Test (IST) is a two shaft recuperated closed Brayton cycle using supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as the working fluid. The IST is a simple recuperated Brayton cycle with a variable speed turbine driven compressor and a constant speed turbine driven generator designed to output 100 kWe. The main focus of the IST is to demonstrate operational, control, and performance characteristics of an sCO2 Brayton power cycle over a wide range of conditions. IST operation has reached the point where the system can be run with the turbine-compressor thermal-hydraulically balanced so that the net power of the cycle is equal to the turbine-generator output. In this operating mode, power level is changed by using the compressor recirculation valve to adjust the fraction of compressor flow that goes to the turbines as well as the compressor pressure ratio. Steady-state operational data and trends are presented at various system power levels from near zero net cycle power to maximum operating power using a simplified thermal-hydraulic based control method. Confirmation of stable steady-state operation of the system with automatic thermal-hydraulic control is also discussed.

Abstract:
With the increasing failures of metallic pipe in nuclear Service Water Systems, a new material needed to be found. One option is polyethylene (PE) pipe. PE pipe can be used in non-safety applications at a nuclear plant using the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B31, Standards of Pressure Piping with no regulatory review. However, the use of PE material in safety applications, which are regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), necessitates a new Standard with special requirements. At the request of the Duke Power Corporation, a new ASME Standard was written by a special Project Team. This standard is found in the form of a Code Case under the control of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (B&PVC). The Code Case utilizes Sections of the B&PVC as its foundation and includes the design, procurement, installation, fusing, examination and testing requirements for the use of PE pipe within safety systems. The first version of the Code Case contained only the minimum requirements needed to support Duke Power Corporation’s first phase of PE piping installation into a safety system within a nuclear power plant. The Code Case developed is titled, N-755, Use of Polyethylene (PE) Plastic Pipe for Section III, Division 1, Construction and Section XI Repair/Replacement Activities. The first version of this case is limited to buried piping using only the following components; straight PE pipe, PE mitered elbows, and transition flanges. The Code Case will be revised as data for material and components becomes available at the completion of testing.

Abstract:
Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation (BMPC) is testing a supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) Brayton system at the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory. The Integrated System Test (IST) is a simple recuperated closed Brayton cycle with a variable-speed turbine-driven compressor and a constant-speed turbine-driven generator using S-CO2 as the working fluid designed to output 100 kWe. The main focus of the IST is to demonstrate operational, control, and performance characteristics of an S-CO2 Brayton power cycle over a wide range of conditions. Therefore, the IST was designed to operate in a configuration and at conditions that support demonstrating the controllability of the closed S-CO2 Brayton cycle. Operating at high system efficiency and meeting a specified efficiency target are not requirements of the IST. However, efficiency is a primary driver for many commercial applications of S-CO2 power cycles. This paper uses operational data to evaluate component off-nominal performance and predict that design system operation would be achievable.

Abstract:
The US-APWR, currently under Design Certification Review by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is a four-loop evolutionary pressurized water reactor with a four-train active safety system by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The Instrumentation and Control (I&C) System and Human Systems Interface (HSI) platform applied to the US-APWR is provided by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. This design is currently being applied to the latest Japanese PWR plant under construction and to the nuclear power plant I&C modernization program in Japan. The US-APWR’s fully digital I&C system and HSI platform utilizes computerized systems, including computer based procedures and alarm prioritization, relying principally on an HSI system with soft controls, console based video display units and a large, heads up, overview display panel. Conventional hard controls are limited to system level manual actions and a Diverse Actuation System. The overall design philosophy of the US-APWR is based on the concept that operator performance will be enhanced through the integration of safety and non-safety display and control systems in a robust digital environment. This philosophy is augmented, for diversity, by the application of independent safety-only soft displays and controls. As with all the advanced designs, the digital systems open as many questions as they answer. To address these new questions, for an eight-week period during the months of July and August 2008, an extensive verification and validation program was completed with the objective of assessing US operators’ performance in this digital design environment. Over this time period, eight operating crews were subjected to a four-day exercise in which seven scenarios were run on Mitsubishi’s dynamic simulator. In all, twenty-two US-licensed operators and senior operators took part in the program. Additionally, a PC verification software package was developed to independently evaluate video display screen designs. Subjective and objective data were collected on each crew for each scenario and an extensive convergent measures analysis was performed, resulting in the identification of both specific design as well as generic conclusions. This paper discusses the USAPWR design, the V&V program data collection and analysis, and the study results related to the ongoing discussion of the impacts of digital systems on human performance, such as workload, navigation, situation awareness, operator training and licensing.

Abstract:
Supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) power cycles have been gaining interest in recent years due to their high efficiency and compact components. As interest in CO2 cycles grows, work is being done to test the operation and control of these cycles and model individual component and system performance. A key aspect in this work is the accuracy of the physical properties of the fluid used in the design, system operation, and model validation efforts. A commonly used physical property database is the NIST REFPROP database which implements correlations developed for CO2 by Span and Wagner. Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation (BMPC) is testing an S-CO2 Brayton system at the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory. The Integrated System Test (IST) is a two shaft recuperated closed Brayton cycle with a variable speed turbine-driven compressor and constant speed turbine-driven generator using S-CO2 as the working fluid designed to output 100 kWe. The IST utilizes coriolis mass flow meters to measure system flow rates as well as CO2 density at various points in the loop. Operational test data for CO2 temperature, pressure, and density are presented and comparisons made on the ability to accurately calculate the density of CO2 using REFPROP with temperature and pressure measurements for an operating Brayton loop. An uncertainty analysis using vendor specified instrument accuracy was performed to show that the calculated and measured properties of CO2 for the operating conditions examined are in good agreement.
