In facing the lack of a deterministic algorithm for economic load dispatch optimization problem, only non-deterministic heuristic algorithms have been suggested. Worse still, there is a near deficiency of research devoted to real-time load dispatch optimization algorithm. In this paper, therefore, I devise a shut-off and swap algorithm to solve real-time load dispatch optimization problem. With this algorithm in place, generators with maximum cost-per-unit generation power are to be shut off. The proposed shut-off criteria use only quadratic function in power generation cost function without valve effect nonlinear absolute function. When applied to the most prevalent economic load dispatch benchmark data, the proposed algorithm is proven to largely reduce the power cost of known algorithms.

Pure functional languages have the referential transparency feature sothat all objects cannot be updated destuctively. Once an aggregated data structure such as array is updated, both the original and newly updated array must be preserved to maintain reverential transparency. Thus, it is required to develop an efficient mechanism with which can reduce the maintenance cost while maintaining referential transparency for whole data. This study is to suggest a functional array to solve the problem, and them test it. For that, the proposed mechanism was implemented on a combinator graph reduction machine. The result shows that proposed mechanism reduces traversal time for array operations. Also, updating all versions and accessing the recent version are achieved in constant time without reconstruction of updated data in execution time.

In order to construct approximation functions for real data, it is necessary to remove the outliers from the measured raw data before constructing the model. Conventionally, visualization and maximum residual error have been used for outlier detection, but they often fail to detect outliers for nonlinear functions with multidimensional input. Although the standard support vector regression based outlier detection methods for nonlinear function with multidimensional input have achieved good performance, they have practical issues in computational cost and parameter adjustments. In this paper we propose a practical approach to outlier detection using support vector regression that reduces computational time and defines outlier threshold suitably. We apply this approach to real data examples for validity.

In this paper, we estimate whether changes in the economic environment a firm operates in affects technical efficiency. Since efficiency gains can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, we estimate for efficiency gains on annual generating plants input demand for expenses and fuel use. We find that generating plants reduced their workers and costs respectively by 6.8% in 1999 and 37.9% in 2001. However, they didn't show any systematic caloric consumption changes facing various economic environmental shocks. These results suggest that restructuring brought efficiency gains by replacing regulated monopoly with a more competitive firms in the context of the Korean electricity market.

In this paper, an optimal manufacturing system design problem in an automotive body assembly lines is introduced when various costs such as equipment investment costs are considered. Meta-model methodology based on simulation results has been used for estimating the performances of the system such as production rate and work-in-process levels. The objective function is minimizing total cost which satisfies the target production rate. The investment costs such as robots, buffers, transportation equipment, and the inventory holding cost of work-in-process have been included in the objective function. Harmony search method has been used for optimization.

This paper proposes the method of switching function implementation using switching function extraction based on graph over finite fields. After we deduce the matrix equation from path number of directional graph, we propose the switching function circuit algorithm, also we propose the code assignment algorithm for nodes which is satisfied the directional graph characteristics with designed circuits. We can implement more optimal switching function compare with former algorithm, also we can design the switching function circuit which have any natural number path through the proposed switching function circuit implementation algorithms. Also the proposed switching function implementation using graph theory over finite fields have decrement number of input-output, circuit construction simplification, increment arithmetic speed and decrement cost etc.

The vertically integrated power industry was divided into six generation companies and one market operator, where electricity trading was launched at power exchange. In this environment, the profits of each generation companies are guaranteed according to utilizing strategies of their own generation equipments. This paper presents on generator maintenance scheduling and efficient bidding strategies for generation equipments through the calculation of the contract and the application of each generator cost function based on the past demand forecasting error and market operating data.

This paper considers the replacement model and the preventive maintenance model following the expiration of combination warranty for a repairable system. If the system fails after the combination warranty is expired, then it is minimally repaired at each failure. The criterion used to determine the optimal replacement policy and the optimal preventive maintenance policy is the overall value function based on the expected cost rate per unit time and the expected downtime per unit time. The numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose when the failure time follows a Weibull distribution.

The implementation of Multiple-Valued Logic(MVL) based on Current-Mode CMOS Logic(CMCL) circuits has recently been achieved. In this paper, four-valued Unary Multiple-Valued logic functions are synthesized using current-mode CMOS logic circuits. We properly make use of the fact that the CMCL addition of logic values represented using discrete current values can be performed at no cost and that negative logic values are readily available via reversing the direction of current flow. A synthesis process for CMCL circuits is based upon a logically complete set of basic elements. Proposed algorithm results in less expensive realization than those achieved using existing techniques in terms of the number of transistors needed. As an alternative to the cost-table techniques Universal Unary Programmable Circuit (UUPC) for a unary function is also proposed.

This paper presents a method for designing guaranteed cost fuzzy filter with a desired H$_{\infty}$ disturbance rejection constraint of delayed fuzzy dynamic systems. This method not only guarantees an induced L$_2$ norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation, but also minimizes an upper bound on a linear quadratic performance measure. A sufficient condition for the existence of guaranteed cost fuzzy filter with H$_{\infty}$ constraint is then presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). A simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedures and performances of the proposed methods.
