A maintenance plan of power system equipment reduces failure rate caused by equipment's age. To prevent unexpected failure, the maintenance is performed periodically according to the interval time. The more expansive equipment's scale is, the more the maintenance without considering costs sustains a economical loss. Hence, the maintenance's time and the cost must be considered when maintenance which is considering the reliability is implemented. In this paper, optimum maintenance interval is calculated by considering minimum maintenance cost of the equipment with the combined cycle units in Korea power systems.

Service life of bridges should be evaluated by physical life considering damage/deterioration. But it is difficult to identify optimal maintenance scenario due to insufficient research related to that. To identify optimal maintenance scenario, it is needed to develope life cycle profile model of condition state variation by deterioration factor. The LCP model has been developed in consideration of regression analysis and survey in this study. It is expected that the LCP model could help to achieve HBMS system improvement.

Although the second driving device of KTX, which consists of the wheel and the axle reduction gears unit, is a mechanically integrated structure, its preventive maintenance (PM) requires two separate intervals due to the different technical requirements. In particular, these subsystems perform attaching and detaching work simultaneously according to the maintenance directive. Therefore, to reduce the unnecessary amount of PM and high logistic availability of the train, it is important to optimize PM with regard to reliability-centered maintenance toward a cost-effective solution. In this study, fault tree analysis and reliability of the subsystems, considering the criticality of the components, were performed using the data derived from field data in maintenance. The cost optimization of the PM was derived from a genetic algorithm considering the target reliability and improvement factor. The cost optimization was derived from a maximum of the fitness function of the individual in generation. The optimal TBO of them using the genetic algorithm was 2.85x106 km, which is reduced to approximately 21% compared to the conventional method.

As the society is being developed, the desire about life quality is also growing. Even though the process of waterproof work has very close relation with these life quality, we always focus on management after problem than the precaution of problem. So this process has the highest rate of mengel. We develop LCC analysis model considering the precaution and try to show the necessity of the precaution by comparing and analyzing every alternative proposal during LCC. By studying of the previous work and the result of questionnaire, we deduce the problem of waterproof work in construction area. By discussion with an expert in this process and research, we make solutions about precaution and set the cost items in every alternative proposal about these solutions. We understand the effect of each elements through sensitive analysis of the cost items, and find the economically best suited solution.

In Korea ranking sixth out of The world's greenhouse gas emissions, all Korean public buildings have to implement obligatorily renewable energy systems for energy production to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the energy consumed in operation, maintenance and management of buildings. The optimum combination and application rates for each energy source emerge from analyzing the trend of previous studies and the energy consumption is simulated by using a dynamic energy simulation program and the initial investment costs, the energy costs, the maintenance costs, the replacement costs emerge based on the calculated result. The result show that the total life cycle cost of 100% gerthermal is the lowest with \ 2,105,974,344 on the analysis results.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to determine an optimal production time for economic production quantity model with preventive maintenance and random defective rate as the function of a machinery deteriorates. Methods: If a machinery shifts from "in-control" state to "out-of-control" state, a proportion of defective items being produced increases. It is assumed that time to state shift is a random variable and follows an arbitrary distribution. The elapsed time until process shift decreases stochastically as a production cycle repeats and quasi-renewal process is used to implement for production facilities to deteriorate. Results: When the exponential parameter for exponential distribution increases, the optimal production time increases. When Weibull distribution is considered, the optimal production time is closely affected by the shape parameter of Weibull distribution. Conclusion: A mathematical model is suggested to find optimal production time and optimal number of production cycles and numerical examples are implemented to validate the patterns for changes of optimal times under different parameters assumptions. The real application is implemented using the proposed approach.

An analytic method for quantitative comparisions between the alternatives for radiation protection optimization is required to aid the decision making process. This paper introduces the dynamic Markov model to evaluate the effect of inservice inspection, testing, and repair activities of the plant on radiation protection. In the example to put the Markov model into practice, the steam generator inspection intervals which minimize expected cost and total exposure dose were determined using the data for Kori-2 unit and foreign plants. The results show that the effect of the radiation exposure on the steam generator inspection interval is determined by the cost rather than the radiation exposure. The Markov model used in the example can be applied easily to the domestic NPPs by replenishing the data and also can be used in evaluating the comparative priority between various alternatives for radiation protection optimization.

To prepare for the explosive increase in maintenance costs of bridges according to the aging of infrastructure, future maintenance costs of bridges should be predicted. For this purpose, the management status of bridges was investigated and modeled as the upper limit of the performance level and the target management level according to the life cycle. This paper proposes methodologies and procedures for estimating the bridge maintenance costs using two models and existing cost and performance prediction models that consist of unit repair cost model according to the safety score, performance degradation model of bridges, unit reconstruction cost, and average reconstruction time. To verify the applicability, future maintenance costs can be forecasted for specific management agency considering the number of bridges, degree of aging, and current management status. As a result, it is possible to obtain the maintenance cost and safety level of an individual bridge level for each year. In addition, by summing them up to the agency level, the average safety score, ratio of the safety level, inspection costs, repair costs, and reconstruction costs can be obtained. In a further study, the changes in maintenance costs can be analyzed according to the changes in the target management levels using the developed method. The optimal management level can be suggested by reviewing the results.

KMTNet 광시야 망원경의 성능 개선을 위해 2017년에 이루어진 주요 작업으로 주경 배플(baffle) 설치, 주경 코팅, 돔 플랫(dome flat) 장치 설치에 대해 발표한다. 망원경 주경의 가장자리(turn down edge)는 경면 가공이나 코팅 상태가 균질하지 않을 수 있으며, 이로 인한 난반사는 밝은 별 주위에 넓은 wing profile과 여러 갈래의 방사상 빛줄기를 만든다. 이런 난반사를 제거하기 위해 주경면 바로 앞에 배플을 설치하였다. 주경의 광학 성능과 집광력이 최적이 되도록 배플 내부 직경 값을 1,580 mm로 조정하여 설치한 결과, 관측 영상에서 별의 영상이 크게 개선되었다. 호주 관측소는 상대적으로 습기가 높아서 망원경 주경의 반사율이 빨리 낮아졌으며, 이를 개선하기 위해 기존의 코팅(protected silver)을 제거하고 알루미늄으로 새로 코팅하였다. KMTNet 3개 관측소는 주경의 반사율과 코팅 면의 확대 영상을 정기적으로 모니터링하여 광학 성능의 변화를 추적하고 있다. 밤하늘 플랫(twilight sky flat) 영상을 보완하기 위해, 돔 인클로져에 플랫 스크린과 광원을 설치하여 돔 플랫 영상을 획득하였다. 마지막으로 KMNet 관측시스템을 운영하며 발생한 돔 회전 및 돔 셔터 구동부 문제 등에 대해 소개하고, 문제 발생 원인과 주기, 문제 해결 방안을 발표한다.

Today, information resource management is key task in the data-centre as like as NCIA(National computing integration Agency of Korea). In IRM, the server's performance is one of the core elements, it must be importantly managed during whole of system life cycle. As first step of such management is in purchase phase, it is very important that the optimum specification is determined. The server's specification contains such as performance of core, criteria for performance verification, minimum cores, etc. There is constant controversy concerning the minimum cores. In this article, we present criteria for determination of the minimum cores that considered three aspects: (1) Costly aspect as TCO(Total Cost of Ownership, (2) Environmental aspect as Green IT (3) Technical aspect as RAS(Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) functionality. Finally, we propose scheme to ideally determinate the minimum cores.
