The cost accounting of electricity and heat produced from an energy system is important in evaluating the economical efficiency and deciding the reasonable sale price. The OECOPC method, suggested by the author, was applied to a 650 MW combined cycle cogeneration system having 4 operating modes, and each unit cost of electricity and heat products was calculated. In case that a fuel cost is ${\\}400/kg$ and there are no direct and indirect cost, they were calculated as follows; electricity cost of ${\\}23,700/GJ$ at gas-turbine mode, electricity cost of ${\\}15,890/GJ$ at combined cycle mode, electricity cost of ${\\}14,146/GJ$ and heat cost of ${\\}6,466/GJ$ at cogeneration mode, and electricity cost of ${\\}14,387/GJ$ and heat cost of ${\\}4,421/GJ$ at combined cycle cogeneration mode. Further, these unit costs are applied to account benefit on this system. Since the suggested OECOPC method can be applied to any energy system, it is expected to contribute to cost accounting of various energy systems.

Statistical process control (SPC) and engineering process control (EPC) are based on different strategies for processes quality improvement. SPC reduces process variability by detecting and eliminating special causes of process variation. while EPC reduces process variability by adjusting compensatory variables to keep the quality variable close to target. Recently there has been needs for a process control proceduce which combines the tow strategies. This paper considers a combined scheme which simultaneously applies SPC and EPC techniques to reduce the variation of a process. The process model under consideration is an integrated moving average(IMA) process with a step shift. The EPC part of the scheme adjusts the process back to target at every fixed monitoring intervals, which is referred to a repeated adjustment scheme. The SPC part of the scheme uses an exponentially weighted moving average(EWMA) of observed deviation from target to detect special causes. A Markov chain model is developed to relate the scheme's expected cost per unit time to the design parameters of he combined control scheme. The expected cost per unit time is composed of off-target cost, adjustment cost, monitoring cost, and false alarm cost.

The cost accounting of products on energy system is important for evaluating the economical efficiency and deciding the reasonable sale price. In the present, the suggested OECOPC method was applied to a combined cycle cogeneration, and each unit cost of electricity and heat products was calculated. In addition, the previous thermoeconomic methods were applied and calculated to equal system. As a result of comparing various methods, the unit costs by OECOPC method were calculated in the middle value of those. This result tells that OECOPC methods are most moderate. The suggested OECOPC method can apply any energy system. Hence this method is expected to make contribution to cost accounting on energy System.

This paper presents a dynamic programming sucdessive approximation algorithm for scheduling pumped storage hydro plants and shows how this method can be coordinated with the commitment of the thermal units of the system. The general object of operation of pumped hydrostorage plants is the minimization of the overall production cost and the maximization of generation reserves. The basic procedure used to obtain a combined pumped storage-unit commitment schedule is to execute the pumped storage scheduler and unit commitment scheduler iteratively. A combined DPSA algorithm has been presented to coordinate the scheduling of the pumped storage with the scheduling of the thermal units.

Exergetic and thermoeconomic analysis were performed for a 500-MW combined cycle plant and a 137-MW steam power plant without decomposition of exergy stream of matter into thermal and mechanical exergies. The calculated costs of electricity are almost same within 0.5% as those obtained by the thermoeconomic method with decomposition of exergy into thermal and mechanical exergies of the combined cycle plant. However for the gas-turbine cogeneration plant having different kinds of products. the difference in the unit costs of products, obtained from the two methodologies is about 2%. Such outcome indicates that the level at which the cost balances are formulated does not affect the result of thermoeconomic analysis, that is somewhat contradictory to that concluded previously.

A index using generation cost for planning' for representing economical efficiency of generator, However in case of Combined heat and power(CHP) the product is divided in electrical power and steam, so there are no unconditional comparison between general generator and CHP. To calculating the generation cost for planning of CHP, this study using the method that change electrical power and steam into same unit and suggest the comparing system that can compare economical efficiency with other generators.

A considerable cost gap between three major power generation technologies, namely nuclear, coal, and combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), has been a well-established fact in the Korean electricity market. Alternatively, this paper analyzes the levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) of the three technologies reflecting overall social costs of electricity generation including accident risk, $CO_2$ emission, and air pollution damage. The paper unveils to what extent current discriminative subsidies on fuels regarding the social costs, mostly through tax exemptions, affect economic competitiveness of the technologies. In particular, it finds relative positions of coal and CCGT could be altered depending on appreciation level of the social costs. It has limits in analyzing fixed costs of the technologies, however, due to limited data availability of nuclear power, and suggests further studies on the issue.

In Korea, the CCGTs have been installed to about 25% of the total generating capacity. Generally CCGTs determine the System Marginal Prices(SMP) in Cost Based Generation Pool. So the scheduling of CCGTs is very important in daily generation scheduling. This paper describes the scheduling of CCGTs which considers the operating characteristics of them. We use lagrangian relaxation method which decomposes the unit committment problem into the subproblems of the individual unit. In the CCGT subproblem, we define the cost function of CCGT in two way. In Case study, the daily generation scheduling is performed using the data of Korean thermal system.

Recently, the research of the distribution automatic system is increased. Distribution automatic system in local switchgear side usually consists of a switchgear controller and a feeder remote unit. A feeder remote unit (FRU) analyzes remote control order from the sudstation communication control unit(SCCU) located remote position using MODEM and delivers order to a switchgear controller. The each state of a switchgear is also delivered to a SCCU through a FRU. Switchgear controller operates switchgear directly and collects the each state of switchgear. In this system between a FRU and a switchgear controller, there are many functions which is included both of them. In this paper the combined switchgear controller which unified the conventional control functions of a FRU and a swichgear controller is proposed. The combined switchgear controller has many advantages excluding redundancy in system cost, space, control reliability and etc.

The objective in here is to find the density, stiffness, and strength of truss-wall rectangular (TWR) model which is combined with lattice truss (MLT) inside space. The TWR unit-cell model is defined as a unit cell originated from a solid-wall rectangular (SWR) model and it has an empty space inside. Thus, the empty space inside of the TWR is filled with lattice truss model defined as TWR-MLT. The ideal solutions derived of TWR-MLT are based on TWR with MLT model and it has developed by Gibson-Ashby's theory. To validate the ideal solutions of the TWR-MLT, ABAQUS software is applied to predict the density, strength, and stiffness, and then each of them are compared with the Gibson-Ashby's ideal solution as a log-log scale. Applied material property is stainless steel 304 because of cost effectiveness and easy to get around. For the analysis, SWR and TWR-MLT models are 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm truss diameter separately within a fixed 20mm opening width. In conclusion, the relative Young's modulus and relative yield strength of the TWR-MLT unit model is reasonably matched to the ideal expectations of the Gibson-Ashby's theory. In nearby future, TWR-MLT model can be verified by advanced technologies such as 3D printing skills.t.
