  • Patent number: 11990270
    Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure provides a bus bar as a winding in a core of a transformer includes multiple sub-bars arranged horizontally and connected in parallel so as to minimize an AC current in the transformer, and the sub-bars have different widths and thus resistances or impedances with respect to a current flowing through the sub-bars are the same. Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a method of designing a bus bar for resistance or impedance matching between multiple sub-bars included in the bus bar to share a current to minimize an AC current in the transformer. Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a transformer, for a DC-DC converter for use in a vehicle, which is manufactured by the method of designing a bus bar.

  • Patent number: 11031147
    Abstract: A correlation tolerance limit setting system using repetitive cross-validation includes: a variable extraction unit randomly classifying data of an initial DB set into training set data and validation set data at a specific rate and then extracting variables for determining a DNBR limit by optimizing coefficients of a selected correlation; a normality test unit testing normality for a variable extraction result; a DNBR limit unit determining whether data sets have a same population or not depending on normality result and determining DNBR limit from a distribution of 95/95 DNBR; and a controller.

  • Publication number: 20180190399
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for setting a tolerance limit of a correlation by using repetitive cross-validation to prevent intentional or unintentional distortion of data characteristics by human intervention or otherwise, and to prevent risk caused thereby, and to quantify the influence of the distortion of the data characteristics in fitting the correlation and setting the tolerance limit. The system for setting the tolerance limit of the correlation by using repetitive cross-validation according to an embodiment of this presentation includes a variable extraction unit extracting a variable by partitioning a training set and a validation set and by fitting the correlation coefficients; a normality test unit performing a normality test for variable extraction results; and a DNBR limit unit performing a same population test, and determining an allowable DNBR limit for a DNBR value distribution, based upon normality.

  • Patent number: 8335293
    Abstract: Disclosed is a spacer grid assembly with mixing vanes supporting fuel rods of nuclear fuel assemblies and mixing coolant that flows around the fuel rods, and more particularly, a spacer grid equipped with mixing vanes that mix coolant flowing around fuel rods. The spacer grid with hydraulically balanced mixing vane patterns, in the spacer grid equipped with a strip dividing a plurality of unit grid cells and a plurality of springs, protruded in uniform directions of vertical and horizontal directions on a grid surface of the strip and supporting nuclear fuel rods, which includes: a plurality of mixing vanes protruded to the downstream of coolant on an upper end of the inner grid surface, wherein positions and directions of the mixing vanes are formed in regular patterns on the spacer grid. Thus, it can minimize coolant flow induced vibration of the spacer grid by balancing hydraulic load generated by the mixing vanes, around the center of the spacer grids.
