The PERT/CPM are considered as the base procedures for the most successful project scheduling programs. Unfortunately, it is not easy to apply these procedures to real-life projects. This is due to the fact that PERT/CPM assume an infinite number of resources for each activity in project networks. Obviously, the completion time under no constraints is less than when constraints are imposed. One way of approaching this problem is to use heuristic solution techniques. In this paper, we present three heuristics; MRU (Maximum Resource Use) rule, STU (Shortest Time Use) rule, MRUP (Max Resource Use and Period) rule for allocating resources to activities of projects under multiple resource constraints. Comparisons of the project durations show that these heuristic rules are superior to AG3 rule that has been widely used in practice (Elsayed and Boucher, 1994).

The probabilistic generation simulation plays a key role in power system expansion and operational planning especially for the calculation of expected energy, loss of load probaility and unserved energy expected. However, it is crucial to develop a probabilistic generation simulation algorithm which gives sufficiently precise results within a reasonable computation time. In a previous paper, we have proposed an efficent method using Fast Hartley Transform in convolution process for considering the thermal and nuclear units. In this paper, a method considering the scheduling of pumped-storage plants and hydro plants with energy constraint is proposed. The method also adopts FHT techniques. We improve the model to include multi-state and multi-block generation. The method has been applied for a real size model system.

The production costing plays a key role in power system expansion and operations planning especially for the calculation of expected energy, loss of load probability and unserved energy. Therefore, it is crucial to develope a probabilistic production costing algorithm which gives sufficiently precise results within a reasonable computational time. In this respect, a number of methods of solving production simulation have been proposed. In previous paper we proposed the method used Fast Hartley Transform in convolution process with considering only the thermal units. In this paper, the method considering the scheduling of pumped-storage plants and hydro plants with energy constraints is proposed.

This paper presents an Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) to solve short-term hydrothermal scheduling (STHS) problem with non-convex fuel cost function and a variety of operational constraints related to hydro and thermal units. The operators of the conventional PSO are dynamically controlled using exponential functions for better exploration and exploitation of the search space. The overall methodology efficiently regulates the velocity of particles during their flight and results in substantial improvement in the conventional PSO. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested for STHS of two standard test generating systems while considering several operational constraints like system power balance constraints, power generation limit constraints, reservoir storage volume limit constraints, water discharge rate limit constraints, water dynamic balance constraints, initial and end reservoir storage volume limit constraints, valve-point loading effect, etc. The application results show that the proposed EPSO method is capable to solve the hard combinatorial constraint optimization problems very efficiently.

In third world countries like Pakistan, the production of electricity has been quickly reduced in past years due to rely on the fossil fuel. According to a survey conducted in 2017, the overall electrical energy capacity was 22,797MW, since the electrical grids have gone too old, therefore the efficiency of grids, goes down to nearly 17000MW. Significant addition of fossil fuel, hydro and nuclear is 64.2%, 29% and 5.8% respectively in the total electricity production in Pakistan. In 2018, the demand crossed 20,223MW, compared to peak generation of 15,400 to 15,700MW as by the Ministry of Water and Power. Country faces a deficit of almost 4000MW to 5000MW for the duration of 2019 hot summer term. Focus on one aspect considering Demand Side Management (DSM) cannot oversea the reduction of gap between power demand and customer supply, which eventually leads to the issue of load shedding. Hence, a scheduling scheme is proposed in this paper called RPSMDSM that is based on selection of those appliances that need to be only Turned-On, on priority during peak hours consuming minimum energy. The Home Energy Management (HEM) system is integrated between consumer and utility and bidirectional flow is presented in the scheme. During peak hours of electricity, the RPSMDSM is capable to persuade less power consumption and accomplish productivity in load management. Simulations show that RPSMDSM scheme helps in scheduling the electricity loads from peak price to off-peak price hours. As a result, minimization in electricity cost as well as (Peak-to-Average Ratio) PAR are accomplished with sensible waiting time.

Increased attention has been given in recent years to the use of pumped hydrostorage plant to meet the requirements for peak generation and bottom pumping. Once a pumped hydrostorage plant is installed, its economic operation as an integral component of a steam generating system requires the selection of a pumping and generating schedule which will result in the most effective use of the hydro generating capacity. The general object of coordination of pumped hydrostorage plants with electric power system is the minimization of the overall procduction cost and the maximization of generation reserves. This paper presents a method for the optimal scheduling of pumped hydrostorage plant and a computer program which determines weekly operating schedules for a pumped hydrostorage plant by dynamic programming method.

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.

현재까지 이수관리를 목적으로 저수지 또는 저수지군의 최적(연계)운영모형 개발에 관한 연구들을 다수 수행한 바 있는데 그 예를 들면, 한강, 금강, 낙동강 수계에서 Hydro-scheduling 모형과 CoMOM(Coordinated Multi- reservoir Operating Model for Han River Basin)을 적용하였고 특히 낙동강 수계에 대해서는 저수관리시스템을 개발하여 적용하였다. 그러나 이러한 적용 사례에도 불구하고 이수 물관리의 근간이 되는 수계 저수유출을 모의할 수 있는 모형은 정립되어 있지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수계별 한정된 수자원의 효율적 관리를 위한 기존댐의 연계운영과 병행하여 댐 상 ${\cdot}$ 하류 유출을 고려한 종합적인 수자원관리방안 수립의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라, 저수기 램 상 ${\cdot}$ 하류의 수계 주요지점에 대한 하천유출상황을 모의할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다.

In recent years, the energy storage systems such as LiB, NaS, RFB(Redox-Flow Battery), Super- capacitor, pumped hydro storage, flywheel, CAES(Compressed Air Energy Storage) and so on have received great attention as practical solutions for the power supply problems. They can be used for various purpose of peak shaving, load leveling and frequency regulation, according to the characteristics of each ESS(energy storage system). This paper will focus at 1 MWh RFB system, which is being developed through the original technology project of energy material. The output of ESS is mainly characterized by C-rate, which means that the total rated capacity of battery will be delivered in 1 hour. And it is a very important factor in the ESS operation scheduling. There can be several options according to the operation intervals 15, 30 and 60minutes. The operation scheduling is based on the optimization to minimize the daily electricity cost. This paper analyzes the cost-saving effects by the each operating time-interval in case that the RFB ESS is optimally scheduled for peak shaving and load leveling.
