Life cycle cost analysis is compulsively required for the system operation. System operation costs are consisted of acquisition, operation, maintenance and so on. In the beginning of the system planning, we need to take into account of various costs following the system operating. To implement LCC, we need to analyze system life cycle to identify all costs during system life. The costs can be divided into three parts. The first part is purchasing cost, the second for operating cost and the last for disposal cost. The second operating cost can be decomposed of operating cost included labor, energy consumption cost for system running, maintenance costs to keep systems healthy, delay cost caused from maintenance and hazard cost, and so on. In this paper, we carried out for railway locomotives which operate over more 30years and which cost about 10 million USD. We decompose the life cycle of the locomotives and break down the locomotives into subsystems to require maintenance or not, and subsystems to need energy or not. We showed how to decide optimal locomotives through cost identification and system breakdown.

The electric power industries in Korea are launched into deregulation by introducing the CBP(Cost Based Pool), where generation sector of KEPCO was divided into six generation companies and the other sectors of KEPCO remains vertically integrated system. In deregulated market, participants are concerned with maximization of their profit rather than minimization of system-wide costs. Consequently, there are difficulties in applying the cost minimization for the scheduling of generation resources to CBP, because of the operation of pumped-storage hydroplants. This paper presents an operation method of pumped storage hydroplants which is helpful for the economic operation of power system considering the market in the CBP.

In this study, cost analysis of electrokinetic (EK) restoration process for desalination of saline agricultural land was performed for field application based on a pilot scale field application. For reasonable cost analysis, EK process was classified into three major parts: system design, installation and operation. Cost of system installation consists of materials and installation for electrode/electric wire, power supply and data monitoring, drainage system, etc. Operation cost was calculated based on electrical consumption and water charges for EK process. Total cost for EK process was 2,943,013 won for $1000m^2$ in greenhouse area. Cost for system installation was 2,553,786 won, that is, 87% of total cost, while cost for system operation was 389,229 won, that is, 13% of total cost.

교통 혼잡 증가와 사고 발생, 환경오염 등의 문제 해결 방안으로 대중교통으로의 수요 유도를 고려할 수 있다. 하지만 도시철도는 대중교통의 또 다른 수단인 버스와 비교하여 볼 때 정시성 및 대량수송 등의 장점을 갖고있음에도 불구하고 막대한 초기투자비용과 부채의 상환 등으로 인한 적자 상태는 도시철도 서비스의 질을 향상시키기 위하여 해결해야 할 과제로 남아있다. 비용함수의 작성은 효율성 있는 사업의 운영을 위한 한 방법으로, 사업의 운영상태를 파악하고 해결점을 모색할 수 있는 수단이 된다. 열차운행비용함수는 수송인원, 수송수입 등과 같이 열차운행으로 인해 산출된 결과(실적변수)와 열차 운행에 투입된 총비용간의 관계를 함수로 표현한 것으로, 함수 작성을 통해 도시철도 산업의 비용구조 뿐만 아니라, 도시철도 서비스로 인한 실적과 소요된 총비용간의 관계를 파악할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 그 동안 체계적인 접근이 이루어지지 알았던 서울, 인천, 부산, 대구의 도시철도 운행비용함수를 정립하여 각 기관의 운행비용의 단위비용을 파악하고 규모의 경제 존재 여부를 확인하였다. 총비용발생에 영향을 미치는 실적변수로는 수송인원과 노선-km, 열차-km, 그리고 전체수입을 고려하였다. 각 기관의 운행비용함수를 정립하여 단위비용을 산출한 결과 수송인원 및 전체수입의 단위비용은 서울지하철공사가, 노선-km 및 열차-천km는 서울도시철도공사가 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 각 기관 모두에서 열차-천km에 대한 규모의 경제가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.

우주발사체 개발은 우주 선진국으로 도약하기 위해 반드시 필요한 중요한 사업이며 막대한 비용과 장기간의 개발기간이 소요되는 만큼 위험이 존재한다. 성공적이고 효율적인 우주발사체 개발을 위해서는 적절한 개발 비용 산정이 중요하다. 또한, 우주발사체를 상업용 발사체로 활용하기 위해서는 다른 우주발사체와의 경쟁력 비교를 위해 생산 및 운용 비용의 추정도 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 한국에서 개발되는 우주발사체의 생산 및 운용 비용을 추정할 수 있도록 한국의 인력 및 기술 수준, 평균 작업시간 등과 같은 요소를 반영할 수 있는 한국화요소에 대해 분석하였다. 또한, 한국화요소를 적용하여 KSLV-II의 생산 및 운용 비용을 추정해보고 해외 발사체의 발사 비용과 비교를 통해 발사체 서비스 시장에서 상업용 발사체로서 경쟁력을 평가하였다.

Currently, a life cycle cost estimates(LCCE) is the most important factor in weapon system acquisition process. However, operation and maintenance(O&M) cost related studies are insufficient from the previous literature survey. O&M cost consists of various cost factors such a man power, maintenance and direct & indirect support costs. We have known that spare-parts cost is a key factor in the O&M cost. In this paper, we developed the spare-parts cost estimating relationships(CERs) of fixed-wing aircraft and armored vehicle weapon systems which include 4 historical cost drivers ; system acquisition cost, deterioration rate, localization rate, mission characteristic. Furthermore, we proposed the application methodologies that O&M cost estimating, total life cycle cost estimating and determination of the economic life using the spare-parts CERs.

This study analyzed the lowest production cost and the greatest profit to be obtained from marketing hogs to determine the optimal operation scale for family-owned farrow-to-finish farms. Data were collected from 39 farrow-to-finish farms with 500 to 5,000 inventories for two consecutive years, and treated with GLM and quadratic regression models using the REG procedure. Analysis results indicated that farms capable of marketing 2,933 and 3,286 hogs annually had the lowest production cost and the greatest profit, respectively. Further analysis attributed the lowest production cost or the highest return in farms with an optimal scale of 3,000 to a higher survival rate of the herd, as well as lower expenses in veterinary medicine, labor, utilities and fuel, transportation, and depreciation. A similar feed conversion efficiency was observed for all the farms studied. Obviously, the cost efficiencies were associated with the economy of the operation scale of hog production until it reached 3,000 hogs marketed annually for a family-run unit. Beyond the optimal scale of 3,000 hogs, good stockmanship was more difficult to maintain and the herd management deteriorated as increasing mortality confirms. It is conclude that, unless advanced management is applied, the operation scale should not expand beyond 3,000 hogs.

An optimization procedure was proposed to minimize construction and operation cost simultaneously. The global criterion method was exploited to find a Pareto optimum solution to the multi-objective functions. The result was compared to the data of a real pumping plant and it was found that the optimized plan of pumping plant could reduce both of the construction and operation cost.

This paper presents an application of optimization method for efficient operation in micro grid. For operational efficiency, the objective function in a diesel generator consists of the fuel cost function similar to the cost functions used for the conventional fossil-fuel generating plants. The wind turbine generator is modeled by the characteristics of variable output. The cost function of fuel cell plant considers the efficiency of fuel cell. Particle swarm optimization(PSO) and sequential quadratic programming(SQP) are used for solving the problem of microgrid system operation. Also, from the results this paper presents the way to attend power markets which can buy and sell power from upper lever grids by connecting a various generation resources to micro grid.

This paper presents a new operation scheme of UPFC to minimize both generation costs and active power losses in a normal operation state of power system. In a normal operation, cost minimization is a matter of primary concern among operating objectives. This paper considers two kinds of costs, generation costs and transmission losses. The total generation cost of active powers can be minimized by optimal power flow, and active power losses in the transmission system can be also minimized by power flow control of UPFC incorporated with minimization of generation costs. In order to determine amounts of active power reference of each UPFC required for the cost minimization, an iterative optimization algorithm based on the power flow calculation using the decoupled UPFC model is proposed. For verification of the proposed method, intensive studies have been performed on a 3-unit 6-bus system equipped with a UPFC.
