This paper addresses the collusive bidding that functions as a potential obstacle to a fully competitive wholesale electricity market. Cooperative game is formulated and the equation of its Nash Equilibrium (NE) is derived on the basis of the supply function model. Gencos' willingness to selectively collude is expressed through a bargain theory. A Collusion Incentive Index(CII) for representing the willingness is defined through computing the Gencos' profits at NE. In order to keep the market non-cooperative, the market operator has to know the highest potentially collusive combination among the Gencos. Another index, which will be called the Collusion Monitoring Index(CMI), is suggested to detect the highest potential collusion and it is calculated using the marginal cost functions of the Gencos without any computation of NE. The effectiveness of CMI for detecting the highest potential collusion is verified through application on many test market cases.

본 논문에서는 경쟁적 전력시장에서 송전제약에 관한 비용을 적절히 할당하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 혼잡비용을 할당하는 방법으로는 모든 사용자들에게 똑같이 배분하는 방법과 혼잡의 원인을 제공한 사용자에게 정도에 따라 가중하여 혼잡비용을 할당하는 nodal pricing과 zonal pricing이 있다. 계산의 신속성과 복잡성으로 인해서 zonal pricing이 유용한 방법으로 사용되고 있다. 기존의 분할 기술은 계통운영자가 설정한 한계범위의 모선들을 zone으로 형성하는 통계적인 방법을 사용했다. 이 방법은 운영자의 임의성이 반영되는 모호한 알고리즘이라는 단점을 가지고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 한계비용민감도를 이용한 계통분할 방법을 제안하였다.

The marginal nuclear criticality analysis for the high density spent fuel storage at a PWR plant was carried out by using the HELIOS and CASMO-3 codes. More than 20 % of the calculated reactivity saving effect is observed in this analysis. This mainly comes from the adoption of some important fission products and B-10 in the criticality analysis. By taking burnup and boron credits, the high capacity of the spent fuel storage rack can be more fully utilized, reducing the space of storage. Larger storage for a given inventory of spent fuel should result in remarkable cost savings and mort importantly reduce the risks to the public and occupational workers.

The world is presently facing key challenges due to the population explosion, shortages in renewable sources of energy, and environmental problems. One important aspect of ecological intensification is the use and improvement of marginal lands and spaces often ignored, until now. Goats are known to be well adapted to scrubs, forage trees, and rangelands. Goats could contribute marginally, but significantly, to the growing demand for meat without using arable lands. Since 2000, there were 752 million goats globally, and goat livestock increased by 26.8% in 2010, accounting for 954 million heads. Goats are widespread due to their high adaptability to different environmental conditions and nutritional regimes, high productivity, and low maintenance cost. A significant growth in goat number was noticed in the period 2000~2010 in the Netherlands (+113.83%), in spite of the 9.75% decrease in EU-27. A cheese making goat farm in the Netherlands showed how it can survive in the one fifth size of the average. It may be a good model for the Korean goat industry since it uses seasonal breeding and results in reduced "goaty" flavor in the cheese.

This paper presents a probabilistic approach of reliability evaluation and economic assessment for solving transmission network expansion planning problems. Three methods are proposed for TNEP, which are reorganizing the existing power system focused on the buses of interest, selecting candidates using modified system operating state method with healthy, marginal and at-risk states, and finally choosing the optimal alternative using cost-optimization method. TNEP candidates can be selected based on the state reliability such as sufficient and insufficient indices, as proposed in this paper. The process of economic assessment involves the costs of construction, maintenance and operation, congestion, and outage. The case studies are carried out with modified IEEE-24 bus system and Jeju island power system expansion plan in Korea, to verify the proposed methodology.

Telecommunication services are typically offered with two-part tariffs which consist of the access charges and the usage charges. In the previous analyses of optimal two-part tariffs, consumers have been assumed to be final users. In this paper, we take the telecommunication service as an input factor which is purchased by business consumers. We proposed a two-stage market model in which the good in queston is produced by an upstream monopolist and purchased as an input by firms and they sell their final outputs in a downstream market. We derive the optimal two-part tariffs of inputs in the case of oligopolistic downstream market with heterogeneous downstream firms. It is shown that two-part tariffs are more desirable than uniform prices from a welfare standpoint. It is also shown that if an upstream monopolist earns positive profits, usage charge is less than marginal cost in the optimal two-part tariffs.

본 논문에서는 경쟁적 전력시장에서 송전 계약에 관한 비용을 모선에서 한계비용 만감도를 이용해서 분할하는 방법을 제시하였다. 구조개편된 전력사장에서는 단순하면서도 분명한 전력 요금 시스템이 요구된다. Zonal pricing은 이런 면에서 좋은 pricing 시스템이 요구된다. 하지만, zone을 효과적으로 나누는 것은 상당히 어렵다. 기존의 방법에서는 오직 부하만을 고려하여 분류를 하였지만, 에너지 시장에서의 전력의 매매행위를 고려할 때, 시스템 내부의 모든 사업자에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 그래서, 본 논문에서는 한계비용 민감도를 이용해서 모든 에너지 시장 참여자를 고려하여, 네트워크를 분할하였다. 모든 노드에서의 민감도의 패턴이 분석되었고 동일한 패턴을 가진 노드들을 같은 zone으로 분류하였다. 6-모선 전력시스템을 이용해서 제안한 방법을 설명하였다.

Faced with large scale of outdoor recreation resources and variety of demanders' desire, it would be necessary for the managers to estimate the values of individual attributes rather than a bundle of characteristics of outdoor recreation sites. By extending the Brown and Mendelsohn's (1984) approach we are able to estimate the beneficial effects of the improvement of individual attributes. Sampling 208 fishermen who visited 11 free fishing sites located in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, the functions of marginal willingness to pay for scenery and non-crowdedness were estimated. If 1 unit of scenery could be improved from its average value a fisherman, on average, would receive benefit of as much as 3,840 won. The average beneficial effect of the non-crowdedness improvement would amount to 2,220 won.

Multi-target tracking is the main purpose of many video surveillance applications. Recently, multi-target tracking based on the particle filter method has achieved robust results by using the data association process. However, this method requires many calculations and it is inadequate for real time applications, because the number of associations exponentially increases with the number of measurements and targets. In this paper, to reduce the computational cost of the data association process, we propose a novel multi-target tracking method that excludes particle samples in the overlapped predictive region between the target to track and marginal targets. Moreover, to resolve the occlusion problem, we define an occlusion mode with the normal dynamic mode. When the targets are occluded, the mode is switched to the occlusion mode and the samples are propagated by Gaussian noise without the sampling process of the particle filter. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed multi-target tracking method even in occlusion.
