In the competitive electricity market, various pricing methods are developed and practiced in many countries. Among these pricing methods, marginal loss factor(MLF) can be applied to reflect the marginal cost of network losses. For the calculation of MLF, power flow method has been used to calculate system loss deviation. However, this power flow method shows some shortcomings such as necessity of regional reference node, and absence of an ability to consider network constraints like line congestion, voltage limit, and generation output limit. The former defect might affects adversely to the equity of market participants and the latter might generate an inappropriate price signals to customers and generators. To overcome these defects, the utilization of optimal power flow(OPF) is suggested to get the system loss deviation in this paper. 30-bus system is used for the case study to compare the MLF results by the power flow and the OPF method for 24-hour dispatching and pricing, Generator payment and customer charge are compared with these two methods also. The results show that MLF by OPF reflects the power system condition more faithfully than that of by the conventional power flow method

The planning and scheduling is considered as an important function because it influence to the overall performance of production in manufacturing system for supporting global objectives. In this paper, propose the hybrid approach to solve the problem which considered alternative resources and sequences, a sequence-dependent setups and transportation times. The objective of this problem is minimize the makespan with AGV traveling time. A iterative two heuristic algorithm(PSO, SA) is proposed to obtain the sequence of operations and CPLEX package is used to obtain the optimal sub-lot sizes(OLS) when the sequence of operations and greedy-based AGV dispatching rules are fixed or given. we show that performance of iterative two heuristic algorithms and simple numerical experiment.

Renewable energy resources such as wind, wave, solar, micro hydro, tidal and biomass etc. are becoming importance stage by stage because of considering effect of the environment. Solar energy is one of the most successful sources of renewable energy for the production of electrical energy following solar energy. And, the solar/photovoltaic cell generators depend on the solar radiation, which is a random variable so this poses difficulty in the system scheduling and energy dispatching, as the schedule of the photovoltaic cell generators availability is not known in advance. This paper proposes to use the two-layered artificial neural networks for predicting the actual solar radiation from the previous values of the same variable.

Less researches on AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) path configurations have been conducted so far while more studies have been placed in determining AGV guide path directions and pick-up/drop-off station locations, and routing/dispatching/scheduling strategies. In practice plenty of concerns fall in preventing deadlock and simplifying AGV system control through an appropriate AGV path configuration. In order to meet those requirements, a new AGV path configuration, inter-loop stocker type is introduced here. The stocker serves as relaying material between loops as well as stocking material. Automated material handling systems using AGVs play an important role in semiconductor industry including TFT LCD and memory/non-memory chip. A practical example of implementing the inter-loop stocker concept successfully in the TFT LCD fab is presented in this paper.

차세대 반도체 공정인 450mm 웨이퍼 생산 환경의 가장 큰 특징은 반도체 생산의 전 공정에 대한 완전 자동화이다. 이러한 완전 자동화는 작업자의 공정개입을 불가능하게 하고 개별 웨이퍼의 중요도를 크게 증가시키며 전체 반도체 생산 공정에 대한 견고한 디스패칭 시스템을 필요로 한다. 또한, 차세대 반도체 공정의 디스패칭 시스템은 개별 웨이퍼에 대한 실시간 모니터링과 데이터 수집이 가능해야 하며, 수집된 반도체 공정의 정보를 반영한 실시간 디스패칭이 가능해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 차세대 반도체 환경인 450mm 웨이퍼 생산 환경에서 중요한 역할을 하는 클러스터 툴에 대해 분석하고 클러스터 툴에서 웨이퍼의 작업순서를 결정할 수 있는 디스패칭 알고리즘을 제안한다.

The relative importance of Logistics in steelworks industry is rather higher among other business activities. The objective of the paper is to propose the methodology for real-time vehicle scheduling for scrap disposal in the steelworks industry. Currently, the rule necessary to assign vehicles to a specific job is strictly fixed. The paper adopts the multi-pass rule selector (MPRS) that suggests a promising rule used for vehicle dispatching for a period of time. The MPRS is regularly invoked if necessary and then evaluates a set of rule candidates to select the best rule with respect to the system performance criteria. The experiment shows that the proposed approach outperforms the current single-pass strategy.

This paper presents a hierarchical real-time operation control and monitoring scheme of the FMS/CIM center which has been implemented at the Automation and Systems Research Institute of Seoul National University. The hierarchical structure of the whole scheme consists of three lavers. The upper layer is in charge of on-line scheduling, computer network control, shop-floor monitoring and command generation for AGV dispatching, machining, assembly, inspection, set-up, etc. The middle layer has six modules, which are installed in the FMS host computer with the upper layer and run on the multi-tasking basis. Each module is connected to one of six cell controllers distributed in the FMS model plant and transfers operation command down to each cell controller through the Ethernet/TCP-IP local area network. The lower layer is comprised of six cell control software modules for machining cell, assembly cell, inspection cell, set-up stations. AS/RS and AGV. Each cell controller reports the status of the manufacturing facilites to the middle layer as well as ecxecuting the appropriate sequence control of the manufacturing processes.

본 논문에서는 SAN(Storage Area Network) 기반의 공유파일시스템인 Asphodel 파일 시스템을 이용하여 를러스터 웹 서버를 구성하였다. 그리고 Asphodel 공유 파일 시스템이 가지는 락(lock) 서버를 이용하여 효율적인 웹 분배 정책인 CARD(Cache-Aware Request Dispatch)를 제안하고 이를 설계 구현하였다. 그 결과 후위 서버의 메모리 캐쉬의 적중률을 높임으로써 보통의 분배 정책인 라운드로빈(Round-Robin) 방식에 비해 웹 서버의 throughput과 latency에서의 성능 향상을 보였다.

Purpose: To evaluate the emergency medical protocols and need assessment through the case report Method: The study investigated the emergency call system through the 1339 emergency patients information center in 1997. Results: The emergency calls tend to follow general trends of the type of cases : abdominal pain (13.5%), unconsciousness(12.0%), traffic accidents (7.4%), bleeding (6.6%), respiration difficulty (5.9%). This was all collected through emergency medical protocols injury and poisoning (22.3%), symptom (51.6%), others (26.1%). Conclusion: The results suggest that a specific training program for emergency medical dispatchers should be established, and emergency medical dispatcher managers must review the cases on the basis of emergency medical protocols every year. Emergency medical services, furthermore, will continue to raise the standard for emergency medical dispatching.
