Economic properties of an integrated wind power plant (WPP) and the demand response (DR) programs in the sample electricity market are studied. Time of use (TOU) and direct load control (DLC) are two of the DR programs that are applied in the system. The influences of these methods and the incentive payments by market operator's (MOs) with variable elasticity are studied. It is observed that DR with TOU and DLC programs together yields better revenue and energy saving for MOs.

Maintenance scheduling of generating units (MSU) has strategic dimension in an oligopolistic market. Strategic MSU of gencos can affect a market power through capacity withdrawal which is related to bidding strategy in an generation wholesale market. This paper presents a combined framework that models the interrelation between competitive bidding and strategic MSU. The combined game model is represented as some sub-optimization problems of a market operator (MO) and gencos, that should be solved through bi-level optimization scheme. The gradient method with dual variables is also adopted to calculate a Nash Equilibrium (NE) by an iterative update technique in this paper. Illustrative numerical example shows that NE of a supply function equilibrium is obtained properly by using proposed solution technique. The MSU made by MO is compared with that by each genco and that under perfect competition market.

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.

The economic operation of a utility in a deregulated environment brings about optimization problems different from those in vertically integrated one［1］. While each utility operates its own generation capacity to maximize profit, the market operator (or system operator) manages and allocates all the system resources and facilities to achieve the maximum social welfare. This paper presents a sequential application of non-cooperative and cooperative game theories in analyzing the entire power transaction process.

The Korean mobile service market has persistently grown with the number of subscribers and volume of mobile traffic. It shows the slow diffusion of 5G subscribers, and rapid growth of both the MVNO(Mobile Virtual Network Operator) market and unlocked mobile phones. Therefore, this study derives the direction of telcos' strategies and policy implications by empirically analyzing the usage and attitude of LTE and 5G subscribers. Our major findings are as follows: First, our current mobile service subscription market constitutes most long-term customers for their incumbent carriers only by device change from lock-in with bundle services. Mobile tariffs, data speed, and benefits of bundle services are important factors affecting choices and customers' satisfaction with a provider and intentions of churning to another. Second, demand and satisfaction for using 5G are less because speeds and service tariffs act as pain points for 5G services. Third, the users' high preferences for MVNOs and unlocked mobile phones are linked to their subscription to MVNOs' low-cost plans with unlocked mobile phones on online channels. These streams lead to a big change in the market competition that MNO(Mobile Network Operator)s' market shares are expected to decrease and MVNOs' shares will be increased by two times, in the near future. Therefore, MNOs need to change their distribution strategies from offline to online channels and try to resolve the stereotype, "mobile tariffs are expensive," by enhancing their service values. Finally, as consumers prefer one-stop service in the same channel regardless of the distribution channel, policies should focus on the consumers' needs for convenience rather than on the channel separation for perfectly unlocked mobile phones.

최근 국내에서도 이동망 경쟁활성화를 위한 방안으로서 MVNO 규제제도를 도입해야 한다는 논의가 진행되고 있다. 이미 주요 선진국들은 이동통신망의 경쟁활성화, 유무선 통합의 추진, 이동통신네트워크 여유 용량 해소, 모바일 인터넷의 활성화를 위해 다소 입장의 차이는 있지만 MVNO 규제제도를 일반적으로 도입하는 추세이다. 지난 2002년 10월 1일, 영국의 유선사업자인 BT가 자회사인 MMO2를 MNO로 하여 MVNO 시장에 진입하여 이동통신 이용자들을 대상으로 서비스를 개시하였다. 국내에서도 MVNO 제도가 도입될 경우 BT와 같은 유선사업자들도 시장이 진입할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 고에서는 유선사업자의 MVNO 진입현황과 이동통신시장에 진입할 수 있는 규제 방안을 제시하고 있다.

시나리오 방법론은 빠르고 복잡하게 변화화는 경영환경 하에서 기업을 지원해 주는 가장 효과적인 툴 중에 하나이다. 특히, 시나리오 방법론은 불확실한 상황에서 의사결정시 보다 효과적이다. 이 논문은 기업의 관리자들이 어떻게 시나리오 기반의 기업 전략을 수립 할 수 있는지 보여 준다. 한국의 무선 통신 서비스 시장의 가상 이동 망 사업자 (MVNO: Mobile Virtual Network Operator)의 사례를 들어 설명하였다. 또한, 시나리오 기반 관리에 대한 이론적 고찰을 하였으며, 전략적 관리 프로세스에 시나리오 방법론을 통합하는 방법론에 대해 논의하였다. 특히, 시나리오에서 상황을 결정짓는 다양한 중요 요소들과 흐름들을 새롭게 고안된 방법론을 통하여 발견하였고, 이를 통해 새로운 전략들을 도출하였다.

As the gaps become narrower in interconnection fee and volume rate, the MNOs began to introduce flat pricing for unlimited voice traffic competitively in Korea wireless telecommunication market : 'unlimited talks within intra-network' by the 1st operator, followed by the 3rd operator's 'unlimited talks over all networks'. As a result, subscribers tip in toward the third ranked operator and could bring a substantial change to steadfast market structure over the last decade in Korea. This paper aims to develop a simple economic model to analyze competition with flat pricing for unlimited voice traffic, and to check whether the pricing can be appropriate for the MNOs. The results show that MNOs already step in the necessary conditions to launch flat pricing for voice traffic. It also predicts that the MNOs compete with unlimited talk over all networks and set a single fee in an equilibrium. At present, the MNOs run virtually identical pricing for unlimited talk over all networks, considering their differentiation with respect to service quality, coverage and brand preference.

The introduction of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) system is expected to increase consumer benefits, boost competition in the mobile market, utilize idle bandwidth, and expedite mobile-fixed line convergence and growth in the mobile Internet market. This research endeavors to study the optimal access charge for an MVNO system, which is expected to be introduced to the Korean mobile communications market. We found that the optimal access charge is higher in the interdependent model than in the independent model if demand for mobile phone service is based on a substitution relationship. We also found that the optimal access charge is higher than the marginal cost.

It has been a basic model for the present electric power industry that more than two generators compete, and thereby the market clearing price and the generation schedules are determined through the bid process. In order for this paradigm to be applicable to real electric power systems and markets, it is necessary to reflect many physical and economic constraints related to frequency and transmission in the dispatching schedule. The paper presents an approach to deriving a Nash bargaining solution in a competitive electricity market where multiple generators are playing with the system operator who mitigates the transmission congestion to minimize the total transaction cost. In this study, we take the effect of the line flows and the role of system operator into the Game. Finally, a case study has been demonstrated to verify the proposed cooperative game.
