This paper examines the long-run social welfare maximization problems facing public utilities, which includes consideration of the cost of capital or other fixed costs of production, from which it derives optimal investment decisions in a reliability differentiated pricing based market. Reliability differentiated pricing policies lead to straightforward mathematical results on optimal investment decisions in generation and transmission expansion planning. This paper presents the mathematical conditions for optimal investment decisions.

In this paper, we develop detailed algorithms for implementing the so-called Limited Column Generation procedure for Local Access Telecommunication Network(LATN) design problem. We formulate the problem into a tree-partitioning problem with an exponential number of variables. Its linear programming relaxation has all integral vertices, and can be solved by the Limited Column Generation procedure in just n pivots, where n is the number of nodes in the network. Prior to each pivot. an entering variable is selected by detecting the Locally Most Violated(LMV) reduced cost, which can be obtained by solving a subproblem in pseudo-polynomial time. A critical step in the Limited Column Generation is to find all the LMV reduced costs. As dual variables are updated at each pivot, the reduced costs have to be computed in an on-line fashion. An efficient implementation is developed to execute such a task so that the LATN design problem can be solved in O(n$^2$H), where H is the maximum concentrator capacity. Our computational experiments indicate that our algorithm delivers an outstanding performance. For instance, the LATN design problem with n＝150 and H＝1000 can be solved in approximately 67 seconds on a SUN SPARC 1000 workstation.

Various problems such as the increase of the power loss and the voltage instability may often occur in the case of low load power factor. The demand of reactive power increases continuously with the growth of active power and the restructuring of electric power companies makes the comprehensive management of reactive power a troublesome problem, so that the systematic control of load power factor is required. In this paper, the load power factor sensitivity of the generation cost is derived and it is used for determining the locations of reactive power compensation devices effectively and for enhancing the load power factor appropriately. In addition, the voltage variation penalty cost is introduced and the integrated costs including the voltage variation penalty cost are used for determining the value of the load power factor from the point of view of the economic investment and voltage regulation. It is shown through the application to a large-scale power system that the load power factor can be enhanced effectively and appropriately using the load power factor sensitivity and integrated costs.

Wind power producers face many regulation costs in deregulated environment, which remarkably lowers the value of wind power in comparison with conventional sources. One of these costs is associated with the real-time variation of power output and being paid in frequency control market according to the variation band. This paper presents a new approach to coordination of battery energy storage in wind generation system for reducing the payment in frequency control market. The approach depends on the statistic data of wind generation and the prediction of frequency control market price to determine the optimal variation band which is then kept by the real-time charging and discharging of batteries, ultimately the minimum cost of frequency regulation can be obtained. The optimization problem is formulated as trade-off between the decrease in the regulation payment and the increase in the cost of using battery, and vice versus. The approach is applied to a study case and the results of simulation show its effectiveness.

본 논문에서는 복합발전시스템을 구성하는 각 단위 구성품의 교체비용이 변화할 때 각 단위 구성품의 용량 및 전체시스템의 경제성이 얼마나 변화하는지를 나타내는 민감도 분석을 수행하는 방법을 제시한다. 민감도 분석에는 복합발전시스템 경제 분석용 툴인 HOMER를 이용한다. 민감도 분석을 통해 교체비용 변화에 대해 민감도가 높은 구성품의 비중이 최소화 되게 설계하거나 예상되는 가격변동을 사전에 고려함으로써 복합발전시스템의 경제성을 최적화할 수 있으며, 민감도가 높은 구성품의 비중을 낮추기 위한 다른 조합의 복합 발전시스템 구성에 대한 정보도 제공할 수 있다. 민감도 분석의 예로서 주택용 부하 모델에 대해 HOMER에서 제공되는 일반적인 데이터를 사용하여 각 구성품 교체비용에 대한 용량 및 경제성 민감도를 정량적으로 분석하였다.

It is expected that there will be delay of scheduled transmission network reinforcement and huge investment of renewable energy resources in Korea. As transmission capacity expansion delayed, supplying power to Seoul metropolitan area will not be increased as scheduled. In addition, uncertain renewable energy out of Seoul metropolitan area can cause transmission congestion in the future power system. These two combining effects will make the difference in locational marginal prices(LMP) and congestion costs increase. In that sense, this paper will analyze how much the congestion costs for Korea power system are incurred in the future power system. Most of previous approaches to analyze the congestion costs for electric power system are based on the optimal power flow model which cannot deal with hourly variation of power system. However, this study attempted to perform the analysis using market simulation model(M-Core) which has the capability of analyzing the hourly power generation cost and power transmission capacity, and market prices by region. As a result, we can estimate the congestion costs of future power system considering the uncertainty of renewable energy and transmission capacity.

미세먼지 계절관리제는 미세먼지 고농도 시기인 겨울철에 수송, 발전, 산업, 생활 부문에서 강화된 저감 조치를 시행하는 정책을 말한다. 미세먼지 계절관리제는 규제정책으로 사회적 비용을 발생시키고, 다양한 경제주체에게 전가가 된다. 비용부담에 있어서 형평성은 중요한 문제이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 발전 부문의 비용이 균등하게 배분되는지 확인하기 위해 각 발전사의 석탄발전 저감량을 이용해 발전사별 비용을 분석하였다. 특히, 정책의 시간가변효과를 파악할 수 있는 합성대조법을 적용해 미세먼지 계절관리제가 발전사의 석탄발전량에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. COVID-19 사태로 인해 일부 전력 수요가 감소한 효과를 감안하더라도 미세먼지 계절관리제가 석탄발전소의 연료 사용량, 발전량을 감소시켜 발전 부문의 비용 증가가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 이러한 비용은 발전사별로 균등하게 배분되지 않고, 특정 발전사에 가중되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 미세먼지 계절관리로 인해 발생하는 사회적 비용이 이해관계자들에게 형평성 있게 부담되도록 개선할 필요가 있다.

비용을 보상하는 원가규제 방식으로 알려진 투자보수율 규제 또는 총괄원가주의 규제의 경우 피규제자는 비용을 부풀리려는 유인을 갖게 마련이다. 그런데 생산공장별 원가를 규제자가 파악하고 이들 간의 경쟁을 유도하는 경우에는 단기적으로 '수인의 딜레마' 상황이 나타나 원가 과대보고와는 방향이 다른 원가 과소보고 방향으로의 비용왜곡 요인이 발생할 수 있다. 변동비 반영 전력시장의 경우 발전기의 운전시간이 늘어날수록 실제변동비와 등록변동비 간의 차이는 점점 커지게 되지만 복합화력 발전사들은 가동률과 발전량을 높게 유지하기 위해 등록변동비를 유지시키려는 전략적 선택을 할 수 있다. 그 결과 궁극적으로 수익성이 악화되고 신규설비에 대한 투자를 유도하지 못하며 설비예비율은 적정 이하로 떨어지는 '수인의 딜레마' 상황이 나타날 수 있다. 이에 따라 발전사들의 자기변동비가 실제 효율과 유사하도록 관련 규정을 개정할 필요가 있다.

Six sigma has been evolved into three generations. The first generation focused on eliminating or reducing defects as Motorola originally developed and applied. The second generation focused on reducing costs and improving process efficiency as GE extended the first generation. The next generation of six sigma such as D2MAIC(Discovery, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and ICRA(Innovate, Configure, Realize, Attenuate) has been discussed since the beginning of the 21st century. Although the third generation of six sigma emphasizes value creation, but there are few specific tools for its implementation. In this thesis, some tools for finding opportunities for value creation are suggested. It is explained and discussed with examples how the tools can be applied.
