In the recent years, various studies have presented stable and economic methods for increased regulations and compliance in sewage treatment plants. In some sewage treatment plants, the effluent concentration exceeded the regulations, or the effluent concentration was manipulated. This indicates that the process is currently inefficient to operate and control sewage treatment plants. The operation and control method of sewage treatment plant is mathematically dealing with a physical and chemical mechanism for the anticipated situation during operation. In addition, there are some limitations, such as situations that are different from the actual sewage treatment plant. Therefore, it is necessary to find a more stable and economical way to enhance the operational and control method. AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology is selected among various methods. There are very few cases of applying and utilizing AI technology in domestic sewage treatment plants. In addition, it failed to define specific definitions of applying AI technologies. The purpose of this study is to present the application of AI technology to domestic sewage treatment plants by comparing and analyzing various cases. This study presented the AI technology algorithm system, verification method, data collection, energy and operating costs as methods of applying AI technology.

원자력발전소 주요기기의 교체에 대한 경제성평가는 대부분 결정론적 방법으로 수행하고 있으나 불확실성을 가진 입력변수에 따라 결과 값이 매우 가변적일 수 있다. 현실세계의 불확실성을 보다 면밀히 고려하기 위해 확률론적 방법을 활용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 decision analysis를 이용하여 원자력발전소 기기 교체에 대한 경제성평가를 확률론적 방법으로 수행하였다. Decision analysis는 불확실성과 위험에 직면한 선택을 이끄는 기회를 이성적으로 개선하기 위한 방법론이며, 확률론과 통계이론이 복합되어 있다. Decision analysis의 주요요소는 여러 가지 방안 중 선택한 대안, 선택으로부터 결정된 결과, 그리고 다른 대안과 비교해서 상대적인 우선순위이다. 또한, decision analysis는 값, 불확실성, 그리고 위험도를 구조적으로 통합하는 원리를 제공한다. Decision analysis의 중요한 이점은 이러한 불확실성과 위험도에 대한 처리에 있으며, 모델은 influence diagram과 decision tree를 이용하여 작성한다. 본 논문에서는 decision analysis를 이용하여 국내 A형 원자력발전소 증기발생기의 최적교체시기를 결정하여 보았다. 이러한 방법은 향후 원자력발전소 주요기기의 교체에 관한 경제성평가시 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 화력발전회사의 $CO_2$ 감축대안에 대한 경제성을 평가하였다. 평가에 고려되는 $CO_2$ 감축대안은 신재생에너지의무할당제하에서 신재생에너지발전 의무공급량을 이행하는 방안과 이산화탄소포집처리기술을 적용하여 $CO_2$ 배출이 없는 그린화력발전소를 건설하는 방안의 두 가지이다. 경제성 평가에는 현금흐름할인법과 실물옵션가격결정법이 활용되었다. 분석 결과 전력수급기본계획에 적용하는 할인율(7.5%)에서 두 평가 방법 모두에 대해 그린화력발전 대안이 경제적 우위를 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 일차적으로 신재생에너지 발전소의 건설을 고심하는 화력발전회사의 중 장기 전략수립에 도움을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 부가적으로 $CO_2$ 감축을 위한 실효성 있는 정부정책의 수립에 있어서 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Exergetic and thermoeconomic analyses were performed fer a 137-MW steam power plant. In these analyses, mass and energy conservation laws were applied to each component of the system. Quantitative balance of the exergy and exergetic cost for each component, and for the whole system was carefully considered. The exergo-economic model, which represented the productive structure of the system was used to visualize the cost formation process and the productive interaction between components. The computer program developed in this study can determine production costs of power plants, such as gas-and steam-turbines plants and gas-turbine cogeneration plants. The program can also be used to study plant characteristics, namely, thermodynamic performance and sensitivity to changes in process and/or component design variables.

This paper provides how to establish an integrated plan for LE (life extension) and MD (modernization) of aged hydropower plants. The methodology is developed through review of overseas/domestic LE/MD histories, investigation of the previous overseas methodologies and consideration of domestic practices. The methodology includes reviews of the various factors such as condition, operation and maintenance history, up-to-date technology, and economic benefit. In order to establish the life extension/modernization plan, the methodology is applied to the domestic aged hydropower plants. Finally, priority rankings and draft practice plans for LE/MD are derived.

This paper empirically examines what role of existing exporters play in the discovery of new export products and whether there are evidence of spillovers from export discovery. We find that existing exporters are more likely to discover new export products than non-exporters. We also find evidence of export discovery spillovers; export discovery of a product by some plants had an effect of increasing the probability of subsequent export market penetration of the same product by other plants. Export discovery spillovers are found to be stronger among geographically closely located plants. We argue that information spillovers is a part of the story: you learn from your neighboring discoverers about the profitability of potentially exportable products.

Air-operated valve is one of principal valves that are used to control fluid flow in nuclear power plants. A periodic diagnosis for the safety of power plants is necessary. But there are many difficulties such as economic loss caused by income of high cost devices and a matter hard to deal with users. In this study, we developed the diagnostic system that users of power plants are easy to handle. The diagnostic system is composed of database module, diagnosis test module and analysis module.

This year the Ministry of Environment(MOE) made a fifth amendment to the Sewerage Act, which was enacted in August 1966. The first objective of this amendment is to introduce small public sewerage system that is designed to treat wastewater produced in rural areas. Before small public sewerage system was introduced to the Act through this amendment, only urban areas were covered by public sewerage system. Because small sewerage system was introduced, wastewater generated in urban areas as well as rural areas can now be treated by public sewage treatment plants. In addition to this, some authorities on sewerage affairs were moved from the MOE to local governments by this amendment in order to enhance the power and responsibility of local governments in relation to sewerage affairs. Also, this amendment enabled local governments to entrust the authority to establish and manage sewage treatment plants to private companies, and enabled the MOE to organize an advisory committee on sewerage to review economic and technical aspects ofsewage treatment plants. This amendment went into effect September 8, 1997.

This paper presents a mathematical model for a class of vertical integration decisions. The problem structure of interest consists of raw material vendors, components suppliers, components processing plants, final product (assembly) plants and external components buyers. Economic feasibility of operating components plants instead of keeping outside suppliers is our major concern. The model also determines assignment of product lines and production volumes to each open plant considering the cost impacts of economies of scale and plant complexity. The problem formulation leads to a concave, mixed integer mathematical program. Given the state of the art of nonlinear programming techniques, it is often not possible to find global optima for reasonably sized such problems. We developed an optimization solution algorithm within the framework of Benders decomposition for the case of a piecewise linear concave cost function. It is shown that our algorithm generates optimal solutions efficiently.
