Smart grid (SG) technology is now elevating the conventional power grid system to one that functions more cooperatively, responsively, and economically. When applied in an SG the demand side management (DSM) technique can improve its reliability by dynamically changing electricity consumption or rescheduling it. In this paper, we propose a new SG scheduling scheme that uses the DSM technique. To achieve effective SG management, we adopt a mixed pricing strategy based on the Rubinstein-Stahl bargaining game and a repeated game model. The proposed game-based pricing strategy provides energy routing for effective energy sharing and allows consumers to make informed decisions regarding their power consumption. Our approach can encourage consumers to schedule their power consumption profiles independently while minimizing their payment and the peak-to-average ratio (PAR). Through a simulation study, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can obtain a better performance than other existing schemes in terms of power consumption, price, average payment, etc.

A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses information about the behaviors of suppliers and consumers in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity. In the operation of a smart grid, demand side management (DSM) plays an important role in allowing customers to make informed decisions regarding their energy consumption. In addition, it helps energy providers reduce peak load demand and reshapes the load profile. In this paper, we propose a new DSM scheduling scheme that makes use of the day-ahead pricing strategy. Based on the Rubinstein-Stahl bargaining model, our pricing strategy allows consumers to make informed decisions regarding their power consumption, while reducing the peak-to-average ratio. With a simulation study, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can increase the sustainability of a smart grid and reduce overall operational costs.

충남 논산시의 천적생산업체인 세실의 점박이응애 사육장에서 발견된 곰팡이를 조사한 결과 Neozygites floridana 1종이 동정되었다. 종 동정은 형태학적 현미경적 특징과 DNA 염기서열 분석을 통해 이루어졌다. 곤충조직배양용 전용배지(Grace's insect tissue culture medium + 5% fetal bovine serum)에서 이 균의 생존을 확인할 수 있었다. 강낭콩 군락 내에서의 감염률은 36.1%이었다. 점박이응애는 잎의 윗면보다 뒷면에 상대적으로 높게 밀집되어 있었다. 곰팡이의 감염률은 윗면보다 뒷면에서 매우 높게 나타나, 균 발생 진단을 위해서는 잎 윗면보다는 뒷면을 확인하는 것이 요구된다. 이 균에 대하여 천적 생산을 위한 방제방법과 더불어 작물을 가해하는 점박이응애 방제를 위한 생물적 조절인자로서의 가능성에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
