This paper presents a portfolio model for a long-term power generation mix problem. The proposed portfolio model evaluates generation mix by considering the tradeoffs between the expected cost for power generation and its variability. Unlike conventional portfolio models measuring variance, we introduce Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in designing the variability with aims to considering events that are enormously expensive but are rare such as nuclear power plant accidents. Further, we consider uncertainties associated with future electricity demand, fuel prices and their correlations, and capital costs for power plant investments. To obtain an objective generation by each energy source, we employ the sample average approximation method that approximates the stochastic objective function by taking the average of large sample values so that provides asymptotic convergence of optimal solutions. In addition, the method includes Monte Carlo simulation techniques in generating random samples from multivariate distributions. Applications of the proposed model and method are demonstrated through a case study of an electricity industry with nuclear, coal, oil (OCGT), and LNG (CCGT) in South Korea.

This paper introduces a method to reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of two-phase materials, e.g., porous materials such as highly irradiated nuclear fuel, from two-dimensional (2D) sections via a multi-objective optimization genetic algorithm. The optimization is based on the comparison between the reference and reconstructed 2D sections on specific target properties, i.e., 2D pore number, and mean value and standard deviation of the pore-size distribution. This represents a multi-objective fitness function subject to weaker hypotheses compared to state-of-the-art methods based on n-points correlations, allowing for a broader range of application. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on synthetic data and compared with state-of-the-art methods adopting a fitness based on 2D correlations. The method here developed can be used as a cost-effective tool to reconstruct the pore structure in highly irradiated materials using 2D experimental data.

Due to the high degree of mechanization and the good environmental benefits, the prefabricated buildings are being promoted in China. The construction site layout of the prefabricated buildings has important influence on its safety benefit. However, few scholars have studied the safety problem on it. Firstly, in order to give a follow-up study foreshadowing the characteristics of prefabricated buildings are analyzed, the research assumptions are given and three types of safety buffers are established. And then a mult-objective model for the prefabricated buildings site layout is presented: taking into account the limits of noise, the coverage of the tower crane and the possibility of exceeding boundaries and overlapping, the constraints are and designed established respectively; Based on the improved System Layout Planning (SLP) method, the efficiency\cost\safety interaction matrices among the facilities are also founded for objective function. For the sake of convenience, a hypothetical facility layout case of the prefabricated building is used, the optimal solution of that is obtained in MATLAB with particle swarm algorithm (PSO), which proves the effectiveness of the model presented in this paper.

본 연구는 전력계통이 3개의 발전기로 구성되었고, 요금적용 시간대가 3개인 경우 동태적 최적화를 이용한 최적 가격 및 투자 정책을 도출하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 최대원리법(Maximum Principle)을 이용하였으며, 종전에는 수요함수에서 고려되지 않았던 교차가격 탄력성을 수요함수에 포함시켰다. 분석 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 첫째, 설비가 충분한 경우 각 시간대의 최적 가격은 단기한계비용과 일치한다. 그러나 시간이 경과함에 따라 수요증가에 의하여 설비제약이 활성화되면 각 시간대의 가격은 설비비를 포함하는 장기한계비용 형태를 띄게 된다 둘째, 각 시간대에 있어서 발전기의 설비비의 분담은 요금적용 시간대의 길이에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 즉, 해당 시간대의 요금적용 시간대가 길어지면 길어질수록 해당시간대에 대응되는 설비의 설비비 분담은 감소하고, 짧아지면 질수록 설비분담은 높아지게 된다. 셋째, 동태적 분석에서의 설비투자는 기본적으로 각 시간대의 수요증가율과 같은 비율로 증가하며, 또한 신규설비 투자규모는 각 시간대의 투자설비를 서로 분담하게 된다.

The objective of this study is to examine how to maximize the efficiency of hospital management by minimizing the unit cost of hospital operation. For this purpose, this paper proposes to develop a model of the profit maximization based on the cost minimization dictum using the statistical tools of arriving at the maximum likelihood values. The preliminary survey data are collected from the annual statistics and their analyses published by Korea Health Industry Development Institute and Korean Hospital Association. The maximum likelihood value statistical analyses are conducted from the information on the cost (function) of each of 36 hospitals selected by the random stratified sampling method according to the size and location (urban or rural) of hospitals. We believe that, although the size of sample is relatively small, because of the sampling method used and the high response rate, the power of estimation of the results of the statistical analyses of the sample hospitals is acceptable. The conceptual framework of analyses is adopted from the various models of the determinants of hospital costs used by the previous studies. According to this framework, the study postulates that the unit cost of hospital operation is determined by the size, scope of service, technology (production function) as measured by capacity utilization, labor capital ratio and labor input-mix variables, and by exogeneous variables. The variables to represent the above cost determinants are selected by using the step-wise regression so that only the statistically significant variables may be utilized in analyzing how these variables impact on the hospital unit cost. The results of the analyses show that the models of hospital cost determinants adopted are well chosen. The various models analyzed have the (goodness of fit) overall determination (R2) which all turned out to be significant, regardless of the variables put in to represent the cost determinants. Specifically, the size and scope of service, no matter how it is measured, i. e., number of admissions per bed, number of ambulatory visits per bed, adjusted inpatient days and adjusted outpatients, have overall effects of reducing the hospital unit costs as measured by the cost per admission, per inpatient day, or office visit implying the existence of the economy of scale in the hospital operation. Thirdly, the technology used in operating a hospital has turned out to have its ramifications on the hospital unit cost similar to those postulated in the static theory of the firm. For example, the capacity utilization as represented by the inpatient days per employee tuned out to have statistically significant negative impacts on the unit cost of hospital operation, while payroll expenses per inpatient cost has a positive effect. The input-mix of hospital operation, as represented by the ratio of the number of doctor, nurse or medical staff per general employee, supports the known thesis that the specialized manpower costs more than the general employees. The labor/capital ratio as represented by the employees per 100 beds is shown to have a positive effect on the cost as expected. As for the exogeneous variable's impacts on the cost, when this variable is represented by the percent of urban 100 population at the location where the hospital is located, the regression analysis shows that the hospitals located in the urban area have a higher cost than those in the rural area. Finally, the case study of the sample hospitals offers a specific information to hospital administrators about how they share in terms of the cost they are incurring in comparison to other hospitals. For example, if his/her hospital is of small size and located in a city, he/she can compare the various costs of his/her hospital operation with those of other similar hospitals. Therefore, he/she may be able to find the reasons why the cost of his/her hospital operation has a higher or lower cost than other similar hospitals in what factors of the hospital cost determinants.

기존의 최단경로 탐색모형은 단일 목적을 대상으로 한다. 그러나 실제로는 통행자가 단일 목적만을 기준으로 경로를 선택하는 경우는 드물며, 경로선택은 통행시간과 비용 등 다양한 목적을 종합적으로 고려해서 결정되어진다. 따라서 최단경로는 여러 가지 목적을 고려해야 한다. 이러한 경우에 이들 목적간의 상충적인 관계로 인해 여러 가지 목적을 모두 만족시키는 최적경로는 존재치 않으며, 통행자가 고려하는 목적들의 중요도에 따라 다양한 경로가 선택되어질 수 있다. 다목적의 최적경로는 여러 가지 목적들의 절충(Trade-Off)을 고려한 다수의 파레토 최적경로(Pareto Optimal Path)가 탐색되어져야 한다. 그러나 기존의 다중목적을 고려한 최적경로 탐색 알고리즘은 하나 또는 일부의 파레토 최적경로만을 탐색하며 따라서 다양한 경로를 제공하지 못한다. 본 논문은 두 개의 목적을 고려한 최적경로 탐색 모형을 개발하는 것이다. 파레토 최적경로들은 대체경로로 사용할 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 파레토 최적경로를 탐색하기 위해 본 모형의 개발에 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 적용하였다.

In recent years, the building industry has seen a fundamental transition due to Digitalization Transformation (DX), with the aim of improving efficiency, productivity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. In particular, literature has significantly emphasized Smart Buildings (SBs), which are expected to grow in the global marketplace in the coming years. The most noticeable benefits include energy efficiency, increased occupant comfort and productivity, and a reduction in the building's impact on the environment. Most importantly, the shift to SBs has resulted in major changes to how traditional business practices are carried out. The Facility Asset Management (FAM) domain is one key area undergoing considerable changes to meet the needs of managing functional SBs. Despite this shifting landscape, the changes and prospective extensions to the business areas of FAM in the context of SBs remain largely unexplored. Thus, to address this limitation, this paper aims to investigate the potential changes (i.e., either the addition of a new function or the expansion of an existing function) of the FAM domain from the context of SBs. To achieve this objective, • First, based on a generic model of FAM proposed by Jin et al. (2024), a three-level hierarchical classification of FAM business functions for a conventional building is proposed. • Second, the concept of SBs is thoroughly discussed, including its drivers, features, enablers, and improvement areas. • Finally, a new FAM business function for SB is proposed, aligning with the distinct characteristics of SBs. As there are no established functional taxonomies of FAM, the comprehensive breakdown of FAM business functions presented in this study can be used as a standardized functional breakdown of the FAM domain. Moreover, it can also be used to facilitate robust and integrated information management practices throughout the whole lifecycle of SB facilities.
