In photovoltaic power generation where minority carrier generation via light absorption is competing against minority carrier recombination, the substrate thickness and material quality are interdependent, and appropriate combination of the two variables is important in obtaining the maximum output power generation. Medici, a two-dimensional semiconductor device simulation tool, is used to investigate the interdependency in relation to the maximum power output in front-lit Si solar cells. Qualitatively, the results indicate that a high quality substrate must be thick and that a low quality substrate must be thin in order to achieve the maximum power generation in the respective materials. The dividing point is $70{\mu}m/5{\times}10^{-6}sec$. That is, for materials with a minority carrier recombination lifetime longer than $5{\times}10^{-6}sec$, the substrate must be thicker than $70{\mu}m$, while for materials with a lifetime shorter than $5{\times}10^{-6}sec$, the substrate must be thinner than $70{\mu}m$. In substrate fabrication, the thinner the wafer, the lower the cost of material, but the higher the cost of wafer fabrication. Thus, the optimum thickness/lifetime combinations are defined in this study along with the substrate cost considerations as part of the factors to be considered in material selection.

The Korean electric power supply plan was prepared by greatly enhancing the environmental and safety with considering the economical efficiency of the electric equipment, the impact on the environment and the public safety. As a result, the fossil energy-based power generation sector is accelerating the paradigm shift to eco-friendly energy such as solar power and wind. Also the solar power industry is expected to grow into a super large-sized industry by converging the energy storage and electric vehicle industry. Generally, a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is used to calculate the power generation cost for different generation power generation efficiency, operating cost, and life span. In this paper, we have studied the future research and development direction of photovoltaic technology development for the era of massive utilization of photovoltaic solar power, and have studied the LCOE of major countries including China, USA, Germany, Japan and Korea. Finally we have reviewed USA and Japan research programs to reduce the LCOE.

In designing assembly lines, it is required that the lines should not only meet the demand of the product, but also minimize the assembly cost associated with the line. For such a purpose, numerous research efforts have been made on either the assembly sequence generation or the assembly line balancing. However, the works dealing with both the research problems have been seldom reported in literature. When assembly sequences are generated without consideration of line balancing, additional cost may be incurred, because the sequences may not guarantee the minimum number of workstations. Therefore, it is essential to consider line balancing in the generation of cost-effective assembly sequences. To incorporate the two research problems into one, this paper treats a single-model and deterministic (SMD) assembly line balancing (ALB) problem, and proposes a new method for generating line-balanced robotic assembly sequences by using a simulated annealing. In this method, an energy function is derived in consideration of the satisfaction of assembly constraints, and the minimization of both the assembly cost and the idle time. Then, the energy function is iteratively minimized and occasionally perturbed by the simulated annealing. When no further change in energy occurs, an assembly sequence with consideration of line balancing is finally found. To show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, a case study for an electrical relay is presented.

노선 계획이란 수요를 만족시키면서 열차 운행 비용(operation cost)을 최소화하는 시종착별 열차 운행횟수를 결정하는 과정을 말한다. 그러나 화물 수송의 경우 화물 취급역에서 발생하는 화물의 연결 혹은 해방 작업은 상당한 시간을 필요로 하여, 잦은 중간 화물역에서의 연결 해방 작업은 수송 서비스의 품질을 저하시킬 수 있으므로, 여객 열차의 노선 계획과 달리, 화물 열차 노선 계획에서는 각 열차의 도중 입환역을 어떻게 설정할 것인가가 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구는 열차의 운행 경로, 운행 횟수뿐만 아니라 열차별 도중 입환역를 포함하는 노선계획을 작성하기 위한 최적화 모형을 제시하고, 이 모형에 대한 열생성 기반 해법 및 실험결과를 제시할 것이다.

This paper proposes an analytic tool for long-term generation expansion planning based on the maximum principle. Many research works have been performed in the field of generation expansion planning. But few works can be found with the maxinmum principle. A recently published one worked by professor Young Moon Park et al. shows remarkable improvements in modeling and computation. But this modeling allows only thermal units. This paper has extended Professor Park's model so that the optimal pumped-storage operation is taken into account. So the ability for practical application is enhanced. In addition, the analytic supply-shortage cost function is included. The maximum principle is solved by gradient search due to its simplicity. Every iteration is treated as if mathematical programming such that all controls from the initial to the terminal time are manipulated within the same plane. Proposed methodology is tested in a real scale power system and the simulation results are compared with other available package. Capability of proposed method is fully demonstrated. It is expected that the proposed method can be served as a powerful analytic tool for long-term generation expansion planning.

The domestic power system established with Cost-Based-Pricing(CBP) from April 2001. The system is a uniform pricing system. System Operator(50) establishes a Price Setting Schedule by the prediction of consumption and the presented bid price(generation cost) of the generation utility. But the Price Setting Schedule doesn't take account of the constraint of the system. This cause a transmission congestion, constrained-on generation and constrained-off generation. This Paper search the way of the increasing efficiency of domestic power system through the redemption of congestion charge.

CAD/CAM system may have such advantages of cost reduction, production time shortening, and product quality improvement. But current advanced versions of CAD/CAM system for 3-D NC data generation are too much expensive to purchase and too difficult to make full use for small-scale manufacturers whose main products are of 2-D simple shapes. The objective of this paper is to introduce a cost-effective way to 2-D NC data generation with a widely spread CAD software. Using VISUAL LISP in the well-known AUTO-CAD, the contents and steps of an automatic NC data generation program are presented for 2-D machining of contours and pockets. To approve the usefulness of program, a test application to a real part is exhibited also.

본 연구에서는 통행배정 모형이 갖는 여러 가지 가정 중 대칭적 통행비용 함수를 갖는 가정을 극복할 수 있는 방법에 대해 살펴보았다. 통행배정 문제에 있어서 대칭적 비용함수 가정이라는 것은 링크의 통행비용은 다른 링크의 교통량에 전혀 영향을 받지 않는 않으면서, 동시에 해당 링크를 통과하는 단하나의 수단에 의해서만 결정된다는 의미이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 가정을 극복할 수 있는 비대칭 통행배정모형의 특성을 살펴보고, 그 해석 모형에 대해 고찰하였다. 이 때 대표적 비대칭 통행배정 문제인 다수단 통행배정 모형을 중심으로 문제를 정의하여 검토하였다. 대각화(Diagonalized) 알고리즘과 Column Generation에 기반한 heuristic 모형을 다수단 통행배정 모형에 적용하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 그 과정을 통해 대각화 알고리즘은 초기해의 수단과 수렴기준 수단에 따라 서로다른 해를 갖는 복수의 평형해(Equilibria)특성을 가지고 있었다. 그에 비해 Column Generation에 기반한 heuristic 모형은 Euclidean Norm을 이용한 부분최적화를 통해 복수의 평형해(Equilibria)에 관한 문제점을 개선할 수 있었다.

Restructuring and recent developments in the power system and problems arising from construction and maintenance of large power plants, increasing amount of interest in distributed generation (DG) source. Distributed generation units due to specifications, technology and location network connectivity can improve system and load point reliability indices. In this paper, the allocation and sizing of DG in distribution networks are determined using optimization. The objective function of the proposed method is to improve customer-based reliability indices at lowest cost. The placement and size of DGs are optimized using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). To evaluate the proposed algorithm, 34-bus IEEE test system, is used. The results illustrate efficiency of the proposed method.

차세대 무선 네트워크(Next Generation Wireless Networks, NGWN)상에서의 무결점 전송 서비스는 이동단말(MN, Mobile Node)에게 광범위한 로밍을 효율적으로 제공하는 이동성관리가 매우 중요하게 되었다. MIPv6(Mobility IPv6)는 IETF(The Internet Engineering Task Force)에 의해 제안된 이동성관리 기법들 중 하나이고, IPv6기반에서 이동성관리 기법들은 다양한 형태로 발전되어왔다. 각각의 관리기법들은 이동단말에서의 데이터 이동에 직접적인 관여를 하고 있다. 이 논문에서 두 가지의 이동성관리 평가기법에 대해 제안하고자 한다. 이동성관리를 위한 다양한 프로토콜에서 네트워크상의 핸드오버나 패킷의 전송절차를 수행할 때, 데이터의 전송절차에 대하여 분석하며 또 시그널링의 비용을 계산할 때 처리하는 노드들과 그 노드간의 파라미터들을 이용하여 가장 효율적인 방법으로 분석모델링을 제안한다. 이동성 프로토콜의 시그널링 비용과 그 비용을 구성하는 각각의 파라미터들을 수치적 결과를 통해서 각각의 프로토콜들의 비용을 비교분석한다. 즉, 각각의 이동성관리 기법에 적용하여 시그널링 비용과 패킷전송 비용의 합을 비교한다. 이동성 관리의 다양한 기법들 중 가장 최근에 제안되어지고 있는 네트워크 기반의 이동성 프로토콜이 전체적인 비용측면에서 더 우수한 결과를 보여준다.
