This paper deals with a coal supply planning problem for power plants. We propose a mathematical optimization model to make decisions for coal pile sections, movement of reclaimers, and operation time of conveyor belts. The objective of the proposed model is to minimize the total operation time of conveyor belts and total movement time of reclaimers. The algorithm firstly selects a pile section by considering both the location of reclaimers and the stock amount on that pile section. And then the shortest path from the selected pile section has to be put into the operation schedule and check whether the total operation time is satisfied. Then finally the new schedule is updated. To this end, we have tested the proposed algorithm comparing with the general standard optimization package for the simplified problem SCSPP. From the numerous test runs for comparing with the existing coal supply scheduling methods, We see that the proposed model may improve the coal supply operation by reducing significant coal supply costs.

지식경제부(MKE)는 매2년마다 전력수급기본계획을 수립한다. 본 논문에서는 전력수급기본계획 수립시 전력수요를 과대 또는 과소로 예측한 것이 차기 전력수급기본계획 수립시 전원혼합(Energy Mix)에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 전력수요 자료는 2005년도에 예측한 제3차 전력수급기본계획의 전망치를 이용하였고 전원혼합을 도출하기 위하여 전력거래소(KPX)에서 활용하고 있는 WASP 전산모형을 단순화한 시뮬레이션 모형을 구축하였다. 2005년도 전력수요를 적정, 5% 과대 그리고 5% 과소 예측한 경우에 대하여 각각 단순화한 시뮬레이션 모형을 이용하여 2005년도 전력수급기본계획의 전원혼합을 도출하였다. 이 3가지 전원혼합을 초기조건으로 하여 2005년도의 적정 전력수요가 2007년 이후에 적용된다고 보고 2007년도에 차기 전력수급기본계획의 전원혼합을 도출하였다. 전력수요가 적정일 경우, 2005년도와 2007년도 전력수급 기본계획의 전력수요는 동일하므로 전원혼합에 변화가 없다. 전력수요를 5% 과대 또는 5% 과소 예측한 경우, 계획된 발전소 건설을 차기 전력수급기본계획 수립시 줄이거나 늘려야 하는데 건설기간이 짧은 LNG 발전소가 그 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

온실가스 배출을 감축하기 위한 각국의 노력이 활발해 지고 있으며, 그에 따라 석탄발전의 비중을 점차 줄이고 재생에너지 및 천연가스 발전의 비중을 높이려는 노력이 가시화되고 있다. 한국도 유사한 정책을 추구하고 있는데, 현재 LNG 발전 가치사슬 전체에 걸쳐 국산이 차지하는 부분은 매우 미미한 실정이어서 이러한 LNG 발전확대 정책이 국내 산업육성과 괴리는 있지 않은지 우려가 되는 상황이다. 따라서 본 논고에서는 LNG 발전에 사용되고 있는 가스터빈과 고온부품 산업의 국내외 현황을 살펴보고, 국내 가스터빈 산업의 Supply Chain 분석을 통해 국내 산업이 안고 있는 이슈와 문제점을 조사해 보았으며, 이를 기반으로 국내 가스터빈과 고온부품 산업의 활성화 및 국산화를 위한 전략을 제안하였다. 국내 가스터빈 산업육성 전략은 1) 가스터빈 얼라이언스 구성 등을 통한 국내 제조산업 생태계 조성, 2) 가스터빈 및 고온부품 국산화를 위한 전략적 기술개발 지원, 그리고 3) 국내 실증 테스트베드 구축 등 기술 사업화 촉진을 위한 환경 조성으로 요약될 수 있다.

Since 1960's along with industrialization and urbanization, economic growth has been . achieved, however, at the same time, environmental condition has been seriously deteriorated. . Currently, volume of wastewater has been increasing at annual rate of 7% in sewage and 20% in industrial wastewater. However, the nation's sewage treatment serves only 33% of the municipal wastewater as of 1991. Major portion of air pollutants comes from combustion of oil and coal which comprise 81% of total energy use and emission gases from motor vehicles increasing at an accelerated rate. It is known that Korea generates the highest amount of waste per capta. Nevertheless, it is not sufficient to reduce the volume of waste by means of resources recovery and recycling. Recognizing the importance of global environmental problems such as ozone layer depletion, global warming and acid rain, international society has been making various efforts since the 1972 Stockholm conference. In particular, it is expected that the Rio conference which has adopted the Rio declaration and Agenda 21 will form a crucial turning point of the emerging new world order after the Cold War confrontation. To cope with such issues as domestic pollution and global environmental problems, the fundamental national policy aims at harmonizing "environmental protection and sustainable development". The Ministry of Environment has recently set up a mid-term comprehensive plan which includes annual targets for environmental protection. According to the government plan, gradual improvement of various environmental conditions and specific measures to achieve them is planned in time frame. Additional sewage treatment plants will be constructed in urban areas with the target to treat 65% of the nation's municipal sewage by 1996. Supply of clean fuels such as LNG will also be expanded starting from large cities as a cleaner substitute energy for coal and oil. In parallel with expansion of LNG, emphasis will be placed on installation of stack monitoring system. Due to the relatively limited land, government's basic policy for solid waste treatment is to develop large scale landfill facilities rather than small sized ones. Thirty three regional areas have been designated for the purpose of waste management. For each of these regions, big scale landfill site is going to be developed. To increase the rate of waste recycling the government is planning to reinforce separate collection system and to provide industries with economic incentives. As a part of meeting the changing situation on global environmental problems after UNCED, and accommodation regulatory measures stipulated in the global environmental conventions and protocols, national policy will try to alter industrial and economic structure so as to mitigate the increasing trends of energy consumption, by encouraging energy conservation and efficiency. In this regard, more attention will be given to the policy on the development of the cleaner technology. Ultimately, these policies and programs will contribute greatly to improving the current state of national public health.

It is widely recognized that primary health care in the community is one of the most important and effective health measures in these days. However, it is reality that unsatisfactory health care system, ineffective utilization of health care by the community people in the rural area are hampering better understanding for primary health care. Therefore promoting health for the rural people and increasing understanding about primary health care, the baseline survey in the community focused in examination for safe community water supply was carried out. The survey was conducted through August 25-31, 1986 in order to find out health problems and relevant factors and to define the demographic characteristics of $^*$Sanpuk village, Kumsa-Myun, Yuju-Gun, Kyunggi-Do, Korea. Household survey was carried out for every home by trained interviewers. The major results are found out as follows : 1) 84.2%(400 houses) of total households were surveyed because 15.8%(75 houses) were unable to survey due to either refusal against interview or absence of family. These 400 households were composed of 1,697 residents(male:830, female 867). Educational level of respondents showed 34.1% as elementary school graduated. Religion distribution showed Buddism(23.8%) as the most dominant. 50.7% of respondents married in the area. 2) Most households(91.5%) have lived in their own house in Sanpuk area. Average family size showed 4.3. More than half of residents(64.2%) have used public supplied water tap. Only 1.5% of the households had a flush toliet. The rest of households have still used primitive insanitary latrines. 3) 32.5% of residents have used gas burner for cooking and for heating in the house, and the coal briquet were used for boiler. Lack of convenient public transportation was the chief complaint for their day life. 4) Each household occupied 1,990 pyungs of rice paddy and 1,170 pyungs of ordinary field in average. Beside farming products, mushroom was the highest product. 5) Sixth percent of households in the survey area regularly participated in community meeting one hand and on the other hand 39.5% never participated. Most of respondents closely contacted with their neighbours and they seemed very friendly each other. 6) The prevalence rate of illness and injury during recent 15 days showed 48.3 per 1,000. The prevalence rate of chronic illnesses during the past one year showed 74 per 1,000. Injury and accident lead the higher portion(22.0%) in the former and in the latter pain(arthritis, back-pain) showed 27.0% as the dominant sickness. 87.8% of the ill residents in the former received medical treatment. As the most frequently utilized medical facility, the clinic or hospital were counted. Among the residents suffering from chronic illnesses, 77.3% in Sanpuk area get some kind of medical treatments and they rarely utilized the clinic or hospital. The reason why the patient did not receive any medical care was found out the fact that symptoms of illness was light or mild and economic problems was serious. 7) Average age of marriage showed 21.6 years old in the women and the average duration of marital period was shown for 15.1 years. The married woman in reproductive age in Sanpuk area had experienced pregnancies 4 times in the aver-age including 0.7 time of pregnancy in average were interrupted by induced abortion and 0.3 time by spontaneous abortion respectively. The practicing rate of the family planning of the married woman during reproductive ages showed 70.7% and the tuballigation was found out as the most frequently used contraceptives. 8) Among woman who has children under 2 years old, 70.0% had received the prenatal care for the last pregnancy. However, the average number of prenatal care visitis per woman showed 3.3 times. Fifty-two % of woman who received the postnatal care for the last delivery showed only 37.5%. 9) Immunization rate of the children under 2 years old showed relatively high and looked successful. The breast feeding for these children showed dominantly in the most. Most of the mothers in Sanpuk area had started the supplementary diet during weaning period of their infants of 6th and 7th month after birth. * : Sanpuk area is a demstration area for community development which has been supported by the Community Development Foundation during the part 10 years. The village is relatively closer to urban area such as Seoul, However, it has a similar characteristics shown as a remote village because of geographical location and inconvenient transportation at present.
