When the energy resource available to a particular plant (be it coal, oil, gas, water, or nuclear fuel) is a limiting factor in the operation of the plant, the entire economic dispatch calculation must be done differently. Each economic dispatch calculation must account for what happened before and what will happen in the future. This paper presents a formulation and a solution method for the optimization problem with a fuel constraint in a competitive electricity market. Take-or- Pay (TOP) contract for an energy resource is the typical constraint as a limiting factor. Two approaches are proposed in this paper for modeling the dispatch calculation in a market mechanism. The approaches differ in the subject who considers and inserts the fuel-constraint into its optimization problem. Market operator and each power producer having a TOP contract are assumed as such subjects. The two approaches are compared from the viewpoint of profits. surplus. and social welfare on the basis of Nash Equilibrium.

변분법을 사용하여 원자로의 핵연료 관리문제를 연구하였다. 원자력 발전소에 영향을 미치는 두 함수 즉 이윤함수와 가격함수는 원자로의 연소도방정식과 최대허용출력 밀도에 대한 부등 제약조건이며, 이들은 임계성의 제약조건이 된다. 초기이윤의 변분해는 원자로에 뚜렷한 두 영역이 있음을 보여 주었다. 즉 일정 출력 영역과 최소 재고량 또는 평활 중성자속 영역이 그것이다. 이들 든 영역의 변이점은 전력에 대한 이윤과 연료에 대한 이자 지급에 상당히 중요하다. 그러므로 각 영역에서 동일 농축도의 핵연료를 가질 동일 부피의 세 영역으로 된 원자로를 최적화 하기 위하여 핵연료 주기 가격 함수가 사용 되었다. 최대 허용 출력 밀도에 대한 부등 제약조건들은 이들 부등 제약 조건이 원자로심의 어느 특정 점이나 로심주기를 통하여 항상 동일 제약조건이 되어야 한다. 원자로의 임계성과 출력밀도에 대한 동일 제약조건에 관계된 핵연료의 연소도에 대한 계차 방정식의 해를 구하였으며 최적 농축도의 위치를 구하기-위하여 구배법을 사용하였다. 이들 계산결과는 부동 제약 조건들을 적절히 적용하면 원자로를 최적화하기 위하여 비선형 최적 기술이 사용될 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

By using miniature SENB specimens, the fracture properties of the materials in the region of welded metal, 321 stainless steel heat affected zone, 690 alloy heat affected zone of 321/690 dissimilar metal girth welded joints were tested. Both the J-resistance curves and critical fracture toughness of the three different materials are affected by the crack size because of the effect of crack tip constraint. Groups of constraint corrected J-resistance curves of the three materials are obtained according to J-Q-M approach. The welded metals exhibit the best fracture resistance but the worst fracture resistance is observed in the material of 690 alloy heat affected zone.

The spacer grid set is a component in the nuclear fuel assembly. The set supports the fuel rods safely. Therefore, the spacer grid set should have sufficient strength for the external impact forces such as earthquake. The fretting wear occurs between the spring of the fuel rod and the spacer grid due to flow-induced vibration. Conceptual design of the spacer grid set is performed based on the Independence Axiom of axiomatic design. Two functional requirements are defined for the impact load and the fretting wear, and corresponding design parameters are selected. The overall flow of design is defined according to the application of axiomatic design. Design for the impact load is carried out by using nonlinear dynamic analysis to determine the length of the dimple. Topology optimization is carried out to determine a new configuration of the spring. The fretting wear is reduced by shape optimization using the homology theory. The deformation of a structure is called homologous if a given geometrical relationship holds before, during, and after the deformation. In the design to reduce the fretting wear, the deformed shape of the spring should be the same as that of the fuel rod. This condition is transformed to a function and considered as a constraint in the shape optimization process. The fretting wear is expected to be reduced due to the homology constraint. The objective function is minimizing the maximum stress to allow a slight plastic deformation. Shape optimization results are confirmed through nonlinear static analysis.

The spacer grid set is a component in the nuclear fuel assembly. The set supports the fuel rods saftely. Therefore, the spacer gl1d set should have sufficient strength for the external impact forces. The fretting wear occurs between the spring of the fuel rod and the spacer grid due to tile flow-induced vibration. The conceptual design of the spacer grid set is performed based on the Independence Axiom of axiomatic design. Two functional requirements are defined and corresponding design parameters are selected. The overall flow of the design is defined according to the application of axiomatic design. The design for the impact load is carried out by using nonlinear dynamic analysis to determine the length of the dimple. Topology optimization is carried out to determine a new configuration of the spring. The fretting wear is reduced by shape optimization using the homology theory. In the design to reduce the fretting wear, the deformed shape of the spring should be the same as that of the fuel rod. This condition is transformed to a function and considered as a constraint in the shape optimization process. The fretting wear is expected to be reduced due to the homology constraint. The objective function is minimizing the maximum stress to allow a slight plastic deformation. Shape optimization results are confirmed through nonlinear static analysis because the contact area becomes wider.

본 논문에서는 현재 궤도상에서 운용중인 위성들을 특정 임무수행을 하도록 각 위성들 을 허용된 추진제량을 초과하지 않는 범위 내에서 궤도기동을 통해 재배치함으로써 일시적인 위성군집궤도를 형성하기 위한 목적궤도 설계기법을 소개하였다. 설계기법의 응용성을 확인하기 위해 본 연구에서는 두 가지 문제, 즉 각각 위성들에 대한 허용 추진제량이 모두 다른 경우 지상의 특정 지역을 정찰하는 문제와 지상을 지속적으로 이동하는 이동 물체를 동일한 허용 추진제량을 가진 위성들을 이용하여 정찰하는 문제를 다루었다. 유전 알고리즘을 이용한 접근방법의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 결과적으로 현재 궤도배치 상에서 획득할 수 있는 평균재방문주기에 비해 재배치된 궤도상에서의 평균재방문주기가 각각 41%, 42% 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 제안된 방법에 의한 결과는 궤도조정 방법, 궤도상황, 센서 특성, 허용 추진제량, 그리고 추력기의 성능에 따라 다소 달라질 수 있다.

This paper considers a profit-based unit commitment problem with fuel consumption constraint and maintenance cost, which is one of the key decision problems in electricity industry. The nature of non-linearity inherent in the constraints and objective functions makes the problem intractable which have led many researches to focus on Lagrangian based heuristics. To solve the problem more effectively, we propose mixed integer programming based solution algorithm linearizing the complex non-linear constraints and objectives functions. The computational experiments using the real-world operation data taken from a domestic electricity power generator show that the proposed algorithm solves the given problem effectively.

The proposed method is described for scheduling their output of thermal power units so as to comply with total emission constraint, area emission constraint and the both of those constraints. Also, by using a trade-off curve, representing all dispatch alternatives and conflict between the emission and the fuel cost, the sensitivity analysis of the emission and the fuel cost is applied to this algorithm. By the way, this proposed method is analyzed how dispatch changes as a function of the total environmental cost, and as a function of the relative weighting of individual environmental insults, e.g, NOx and $SO_{2}$. By applying the proposed method to the system, the usefulness of this method is verified.

This paper discusses stationkeeping of COMS which accommodates two optical payloads. In order to provide good quality images to the users, the east/west stationkeeping which is strong perturbing sources shall be performed outside of mandatory observation time slots asked by users. If the east/west stationkeeping time is resulted inside of the mandatory time slots, it shall be shifted in order to be performed outside of mandatory time slot, or a new stationkeeping shall be planned. This constraint is expected to ask additional fuel consumption in comparison with tradition stationkeeping. This paper analyzes the impact of mandatory time slots to the stationkeeping fuel consumption. Orbit simulations have been conducted to determine validity of given constraints in the light of fuel requirement and stationkeeping accuracy.
