Most of the existing researches on systemwide optimization of generator maintenance scheduling do not consider the equivalent operating hours(EOHs) mainly due to the difficulties of calculating the EOHs of the CCGTs in the large scale system. In order to estimate the EOHs not only the operating hours but also the number of start-up/shutdown during the planning period should be estimated, which requires the mathematical model to incorporate the economic dispatch model and unit commitment model. The model is inherently modelled as a large scale mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem and the computation time increases exponentially and intractable as the system size grows. To make the problem tractable, this paper proposes an EOH calculation based on demand grouping by K-means clustering algorithm. Network congestion is also considered in order to improve the accuracy of EOH calculation. This proposed method is applied to the actual Korean electricity market and compared to other existing methods.

최근 고온부품의 기술발전으로 고효율 가스터빈 발전설비들이 운전되고 있으나 국내의 가스터빈설비는 일일 기동정지를 반복 운전하므로써 열싸이클에 의한 블레이드와 베인의 재료물성은 급격히 나빠지고 있다. 현재 가스터빈 부품 교체와 정비는 제작사에 의존하고 있는 실정으로 이에 본 연구에서 독자적인 교체 및 정비 관리 기준을 위해 수명평가와 손상분석의 기초자료로 활용하고자 실제 운전된 가스터빈 고압 1단 블레이드와 베인의 사용시간별 손상거동을 분석하였다. 사용재의 블레이드는 등가운전시간(EOH)이 23,686, 27,909 및 52,859 이고 베인은 28,714 및 52,859 으로 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 ${\gamma}$'의 크기는 증가하고 형상은 구형 또는 판상으로 변형되었다. 블레이드는 leading edge영역, 베인은 center영역에서 가장 큰 미세조직의 열화가 관찰되었으며 이는 경도의 감소경향과 일치하였다. 열차폐 코팅층내 bond코팅층에서는 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 표면산화층의 두께가 증가하였다.

국내 A 복합발전소에서 운전 중인 150 MW급 가스터빈 저압 1단 회전익의 교체주기 연장가능성을 다각적으로 모색하였다. 제작사가 추천한 24,000 등가운전시간 이상을 사용한 저압 1단 회전익의 외관검사, 열차폐코팅 제거 후 모재의 표면검사 및 균열검사를 각각 실시하였다. 또한 제작사별 150 MW급 가스터빈의 교체주기를 비교 분석하였다. 제작사가 추천한 24,000 등가운전시간 이상이 경과하여 27,000 등가운전시간을 운전한 저압의 외관을 검사한 결과 냉각홀 부위에 다수의 균열이 관찰되었다. 그러나 열차폐코팅을 제거한 상태에서 실시한 모재의 표면검사에서는 균열이 거의 관찰되지 않았으며, 모재까지 진행된 일부 미세 균열에 대해서는 절단면 검사를 통하여 균열깊이가 기능에 영향을 미치지 않는 수준임을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구대상 가스터빈 저압 1단 회전익의 교체정비주기는 현행 24,000 등가운전시간에서 3,000 등가운전시간의 연장이 가능할 것으로 보인다. 또한 연구대상 저압 1단 회전익에 대하여 제작사가 추천한 교체주기는 타제작사 1단 회전익 교체주기의 2/3 수준으로 짧게 설정되어 있어 교체주기 연장이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This Study was an attempt to estimate the optimum numbers of Operating Room Nursing Manpower by measuring the amount of service hours required by the patients in Operating Room in relation to the service amount actually provided by the nurses. The major concern of this study was placed on the measurement of Nursing Service Requirements by using the Operating Room (O. R) Patient Acuity System recently developed by M. M. Hart to classify the O. R. patients into four groups according to the degree of the complexity of operative procedure and some other elements which increase nursing activities in respect of patient care; Acuity IV group is the one requires nursing services most, on the other hand Acuity I requires least. nu sing The objectives of this study were as follows; 1. To analyze functions of the nursing personnel in O. R. by time unit and to estimate the average time a nurse can activate for productive functions. 2. To measure the actual amount of nursing times provided by nurses to the surgical patients. 3. To develop a patient classification system in order to measure the amount of Nursing services required by the patients. 4. To calculate an appropriate number of nursing manpower to meet the needs of the patients. In order to conduct the research both selected nurses and patients in 'S' University Hospital were Studied by utilizing the O. R. Patient Acuity System as well as the Classification Chart developed by Association of Operating Room Nurses (A. O. R. N) as a means of classifying functions of O. R. nurses. That is; Functions of the 10 selected O. R. nurses observed during the period of June 30 to July 4, 1986, whereas the amount of nursing services required by or provided to the 974 patients who had received surgeries during the period of June 9 to July 4, 1986. The results of this study were as follows; 1) The actual working hours per a nurse averaged 6.7 hours a day. 2) Each nurse's daily routine schedule consists of $71.4\%$ for Technical Functions, $16.1\%$ for Nonprodective Functions, $6.6\%$ for Assessment and Evaluation, $3.9\%$ for Overseeing and Supervision and the rest $2.0\%$ for Patient Preparation respectively. 3) Preoperative waiting time per a patient was 24.1 minutes on the average; for the first case was 10.7 minutes, whereas for the following cases was 32.0 minutes. 4) Total Operation time for the 974 patients during the period of observation for this study amounted to 2759.6 hours, weekly hour was equivalent to 689.9 hours, Whereas daily operation time averaged 130 hours. Meanwhile the average operation time per patient was 2.8 hours ; for the case of Acuity IV was 5.6 hours, 5. 1 hours for the case of Acuity III, 2.3 hours for Acuity II and 1.1 hours for Acuity I. 5) According to the O. R. Patient Acuity System, $64.5\%$ of the whole patients belonged to Acuity II, $23.7\%$ to Acuity III, 11. $3\%$ to Acuity IV and $0.7\%$ to Acuity I respectively. 6) Required amount of nursing times based on the preoperative waiting time and operation time was 7167.8 person hours, which showed that $5.5\%$ of them needed for preoperative nursing care, whereas the rest $94.5\%$ for intraoperative nursing care. In terms of the O. R. Patient Acuity System, $49.7\%$ of total nursing service requirements was needed for Acuity II patients, $27.4\%$ for Acuity III patients, $17.2\%$ for Acuity IV patients and $0.2\%$ for Acuity I patients. 7) The rate of the nursing services provided against the required nursing times was about $81.4\%$ on the average; some departments, like those of Plastic Surgery, Otolaryngology and Ophthalmology whose patients mostly belonged to Acuity II recorded hegher provision rate than average, whereas other departments of Thoracic Surgery. Neurosurgery and Orthopedic Surgery whose patients belonged to Acuity III and Acuity IV as well as Acuity II recorded lower provision rate than average. 8) Subsequently, required numbers of nursing manpower was 10.7 nurses additionally. Based on the above findings the following recommendations will be made; 1) this study recommends, develops. and adopts an accurate and realistic O. R. Patient Acuity System which can help measure the nursing service requirements objectively to elicit the rationales of allocation of nursing personnels. 2) this study proposes storongly place nurses who take the role of preoperative nursing care exclusively for the waiting patients in O. R. and shortening their waiting time by close communication between the designated O. R. and the ward.

In order to evaluate the lifespan of high-temperature parts with thermal barrier coating in gas turbines used for power generation, this study was performed on an 80 MW-class gas turbine exceeding 24 k equivalent operating hours. Degradation characteristics were evaluated by analyzing the YSZ (Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) top coat, which serves as the thermal barrier coating layer, the NiCrAlY bond coat, and interface layers. Microstructural analysis of the top, middle, and bottom sections showed that Thermal Growth Oxide (TGO) growth, Cr precipitate growth within the bond coat layer, and formation of diffusion layer occur actively in high-temperature sections. These microstructural changes were consistent with damaged areas of the thermal barrier coating layer observed at the surface of the used blade. The distribution of Cr precipitates within the bond coat layer, in addition to the thickness of TGO, is regarded as a key indicator in the evaluation of degradation characteristics.

This study was initiated to evaluate and resolve the potential problems caused as the MSWI(Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator) fly ash were stabilized and solidified into the cement. The physical and chemical properties of fly ashes (K and M) used in this study were fixed according to the operating conditions of the incineration plant. The compressible strength of the solidified matrix used in this study were measured at 7, 28, and 56 curing days, respectively, to evaluate the stability of the solidified matrix, which were further analyzed by XRD and SEM. The experimental results obtained in this study showed that the relatively long hours of curing periods were needed to solidify the fly ash. The solidified matrix containing K ash had the high and excellent compressible strength of $200{\;}kg/\textrm{cm}^2$, after 56 curing days, but was not good enough in appearance. The analytical data by SEM confirmed that the alkaline Na and K, which are highly dissolved in water, were included in the fly ash and evenly distributed into the exterior surface of the solidified matrix. Whereas, the solidified matrix containing M ash never showed such a compressible strength as shown in the K ash due to the severe fracture, even as early as 7 curing days. Based on its XRD analysis, it appeared that both $C_2S$ and $C_3S$ highly related to the compressible strength were not crystallyzed into the solidified matrix. However, the compressible strength of the solidified and cemented M ash was remarkably improved by 100 times, after the alkalinity was washed out, which indicated that it is equivalent to 30 to 40g per one kg of fly ash.

Background Sternal rigid plate fixation (RPF) has been adopted in recent years in high-risk cases to reduce complications associated with steel wire cerclage, the traditional approach to sternal closure. While sternal RPF has been associated with lower complication rates than wire cerclage, it has its own complication profile that requires evaluation, necessitating a critical examination from a national perspective. This study will report the outcomes and associated risk factors of sternal RPF using a national database. Methods Patients undergoing sternal RPF from 2005 to 2016 in the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program were identified. Demographics, perioperative information, and complication rates were reviewed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for postoperative complications. Results There were 381 patient cases of RPF identified. The most common complications included bleeding (28.9%), mechanical ventilation >48 hours (16.5%), and reoperation/readmission (15.2%). Top risk factors for complications included dyspnea (odds ratio [OR], 2.672; P<0.001), nonelective procedure (OR, 2.164; P=0.010), congestive heart failure (OR, 2.152; P=0.048), open wound (OR, 1.977; P=0.024), and operating time (OR, 1.005; P<0.001). Conclusions Sternal RPF is associated with increased rates of three primary complications: blood loss requiring transfusion, ventilation >48 hours, and reoperation/readmission, each of which affected over 15% of the study population. Smokers remain at an increased risk for surgical site infection and sternal dehiscence despite RPF's purported benefit to minimize these outcomes. Complications of primary versus delayed sternal RPF are roughly equivalent, but individual patients may perform better with one versus the other based on identified risk factors.
