For the power system to keep in a stable operating state, sufficient ancillary services must be available to respond to credible contingency events and return the power system to a satisfactory operating state in the case of contingencies as well as blackout events within specified predefined limits. The logical and reasonable bases of valuing and pricing the ancillary services are required to reach the common ground among market participants. The total amount of black start service transactions is quite small compared to the total ancillary service transactions as well as energy market transactions. Black start services must be provided as one of the ancillary services in the deregulated electricity market. In order to procure and remunerate black start services, it is necessary to quantify the value of the black start sources within the power system. In this paper, an approach to assess the value of the black start service is presented based on the cost-of-service solution. Financial simulation of the influence on market participants for the proposed approach on the service is carried out. The cost of the black start service is allocated in accordance with the principle of "causer pays", and the cost is shared by the producers and consumers equally that created the requirement for the service. Under the present electricity market, the mechanism to recover the cost is not implemented, a new approach to the ancillary services to provide incentive for the service providers has to be studied in the near future.

런너, 흡출관 등 양수발전소 수차 부속기기들에 캐비테이션 침식과 피로 균열 등의 손상 발생과 관련하여 많은 정비 사례들이 보고되고 있다. 양수발전소는 급전, 전력계통 안정 등과 같은 부수적 서비스를 제공한다. 이러한 부수적 서비스는 가이드 베인을 작게 열고 운전하는 저개도율 운전을 반복적으로 자주 수행하게 한다. 이러한 저개도율 운전은 수차 부속기기의 손상을 가속시키는 것으로 경험적으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 양수발전소의 가이드 베인 저개도율 운전이 수차의 캐비테이션과 피로를 가속시키는 효과를 유한요소 유동/응력 해석 및 피로 해석을 통해 정량적으로 평가한다. 평가 결과, 가이드 베인 개도율이 작을수록 캐비테이션 발생 가능성과 수차 효율 저하 가능성이 증가하며, 런너 블레이드 루트부에 최대 응력값을 증가시킴에도 불구하고 저개도율 운전이 피로수명에 미치는 영향은 미미함을 확인하였다.

This study purports to investigate the determinants of patient satisfaction and intent to revisit at national university hospitals in Korea. A total of 8 independent variables for outpatients, 9 independent variables for inpatients, and an intervening variable of overall patient satisfaction were selected through literature review. The independent variables for outpatients contain the level of satisfaction with physicians, nurses, ancillary staff, administrative procedure, medical cost, physical environment, facility convenience. and health recovery. With regard to the independent variables for inpatients, the quality of ward services was added to those of outpatients. Each variable contains 3 to 8 items measuring the level of satisfaction with various aspects of the variable. The sample used in this study consisted of 879 outpatients and 821 inpatients. Data were collected with interview survey and analyzed using path analysis. The major findings of the study are as follows: 1) The following variables have significantly positive effect on the intent to revisit of outpatients: health recovery, overall satisfaction, satisfaction with physicians, and ancillary staff. 2) The following variables have significantly positive effect on the intent to revisit of inpatients: health recovery, satisfaction with nurses and physicians, overall satisfaction, and administrative procedure. 3) The following variables of admission procedure, satisfaction with ancillary staff, facility convenience, quality of ward services were found to have significantly positive effect only on the level of overall satisfaction, even though they do not have significant total effect on the intent to revisit. The results of the study indicate that national university hospitals in Korea should make an effort to improve the satisfactory level of patients with clinical outcome, services provided by physicians, nurses, and ancillary staff, and the quality of administrative procedure for enhancing the intent to revisit of patients.

Deregulation in power industry has made the reactive power ancillary service management a critical task to power system operators from both technical and economic perspectives. Reactive power management in power systems is a complex combinatorial optimization problem involving nonlinear functions with multiple local minima and nonlinear constraints. This paper proposes a practical market-based reactive power ancillary service management scheme to tackle the challenge. In this paper a new model for voltage security and reactive power management is presented. The proposed model minimizes reactive support cost as an economic aspect and insures the voltage security as a technical constraint. For modeling validation study, two optimization algorithm, a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) method are used to solve the problem of optimum allocation of reactive power in power systems under open market environment and the results are compared. As a case study, the IEEE-30 bus power system is used. Results show that the algorithm is well competent for optimal allocation of reactive power under practical constraints and price based conditions.

A competitive generating company (GENCO) could maximize its payoff by optimizing its generation assets. This paper considers the GENCO's arbitrage problem using price-based unit commitment (PBUC). The GENCO could consider arbitrage opportunities in purchases from qualifying facilities (QFs) as well as simultaneous trades with spots markets for energy, ancillary services, emission, and fuel. Given forecasted hourly market prices for each market, the GENCO's generating asset arbitrage problem is formulated as a mixed integer program (MIP) and solved by a branch-and-cut algorithm. A GENCO with 54 thermal and 12 combined-cycle units is considered for analyzing the proposed formulation. The proposed case studies illustrate the significance of simultaneous arbitrage by applying PBUC to multi-commodity markets.

서브프라임 모기지 및 구조화 상품 등에 대한 부정확한 신용등급은 최근 금융위기 확산의 주요 요인으로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문은 신용평가노력을 관찰할 수 없는 숨겨진 행동모형(hidden action model)을 통해 신용평가회사의 행태 및 규제에 대한 분석을 시도하여 현재 논의되고 있는 신용평가기능 개선을 위한 논의에 보완적인 기여를 하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 도덕적 해이가 존재하면 신용평가노력이 관찰 가능하지 않음으로 인해 사회적으로 최적인 수준보다 낮은 수준의 신용평가노력을 기울임을 확인하였다. 경쟁 및 평판효과를 고려한 확장된 모형의 경우에도 신용평가회사에 사회적으로 최적의 유인을 제공하는 데는 한계가 존재한다. 그리고 부수업무의 존재는 신용평가회사의 노력수준과 사회적 최적 수준 간의 괴리를 확대함을 확인하였다. 따라서 경쟁과 평판에 의한 규율이 불완전한 경우 신용평가회사에 대한 감독 및 잘못된 정보의 제공에 따른 책임의 부과가 필요하다

Vehicle-to-grid presents a mechanism to meet the key requirements of an electric power system, using electric vehicles (EVs) when they are parked. The most economic ancillary service is that of frequency regulation, which imposes some constraints regarding the period and duration of time the vehicles have to be connected to the grid. The majority of research explores the profitability of the aggregator, while the perspective of the EV fleet owner, in terms of their need for usage of their fleet, remains neglected. In this paper, the optimal allocation of available vehicles on a day-ahead basis using queuing theory and fuzzy multi-criteria methodology has been determined. The proposed methodology is illustrated on the daily scheduling of EVs in an electricity distribution company.

This research is related to GPS(global positioning system) enabled device navigation service and consists of two parts. The first is the logic that records the route guidance video and records GPS information in time, and the second is the logic that outputs the created video data based on real time GPS. The recording logic first determines the origin and destination, records the video from the origin to the destination and it adjusts the speed of the image in a specific area so that the user can see it easily. And insert ancillary information and advertisements that can help guide the route. In the output logic, we provide navigation services using the video and GPS data tables we created, and it receives user's GPS information in real time and corrects it based on the recent user location to reduce errors. This provides local guidance services to people who lack language skills like foreigners.
