Abstract

This paper presents a scheduling scheme for die casting processes considering power usage. The scheduling problem of a shift-based die casting process is represented by a linear programming (LP) model that maximizes the average efficiency of melting furnaces in regard of the usage of molten alloy, where the product quantities of each shift are used as primary variables. In this research, we propose a novel LP model that considers power usage of foundries. The developed LP model can derive product plans in which the expended power of a casting shift does not exceed a prescribed limit, while optimizing the efficiency of alloy usage. The simulation result of a case study demonstrates the superiority and applicability of the proposed scheme. This paper serves as a basic research on the role of foundries as an intelligent costumer in smart grid environment where the limit of power usage should be fulfilled.

본 논문은 전력 효율을 고려한 다이캐스팅 공정의 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 시프트(shift)마다 반복 작업하는 다이캐스팅 공정의 스케줄링 문제는 각 제품의 시프트별 생산량을 의사결정변수로 정의하여 용탕 효율을 최대화 시키는 선형계획법으로 표현 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 주조 공장의 전력 사용에 대한 제한 조건까지 고려하는 새로운 선형계획법 모델을 제시한다. 제안된 모델은 다이캐스팅 공정의 한 시프트가 소비하는 전력 사용량이 주어진 한계 전력량 범위를 넘지 않도록 하는 스케줄링 결과를 유도한다. 사례 연구를 통하여 제안된 모델의 우수성과 응용가능성을 검증한다. 본 논문은 스마트 그리드 환경에서 지능형 소비자로 분류되는 주조 공장이 전력 사용 제한 조건을 만족시켜야 하는 문제에 대한 기초 연구의 역할을 할 것이다.
