Shipping containers promote rapid development of the transport industry, and generate economic and social value. However, problems often occur due to imbalance in dynamics between exports and imports, container relocation, traffic congestion, and general shipping network designs. So, efficient and cost-effective cargo management has become crucial for the Jeju Island - Mokpo container route (JMCR) in South Korea. Dozens of recent studies reveal that collapsible or foldable containers, may become an innovative solution to problematic issues within the shipping industry. The major purpose of this study is to discuss conditions required for successful commercial application of foldable containers, based on a cost-benefit analysis precisely for the JMCR. Findings reveal usage of foldable containers can be cost-effective, if containers make a "FULL<->EMPTY" route. To the contrary, a "FULL<->FULL" route can drastically increase expenditure. However, economic analysis of actual figures for 2010-2015 indicate that benefits for Mokpo - Jeju direction are significant to cover losses on the Jeju - Mokpo line. Seasonal patterns and mixing percentages of foldable and standard containers on the route, may also produce cost-effective solutions. Sensitivity analysis reveals that benefits from using foldable containers, depend mostly on empty container shares in addition to various extra costs.

Performance based design is a recent evolutionary step in the process of designing fire protection systems. In essence, it is a logical design process resulting in a solution that achieves a specified performance. Sometimes the prescriptive solutions presented in various codes and standards are too expensive or inflexible. Often the solutions do not and enables optimization of a solution for cost and function. In this study, performance based design was carried out to determine the extent of passive fire protection for oil terminal facilities. The results of performance based design were compared with those of prescriptive code based design. Performance based design is not always more economic than prescriptive code based design but provides more reliable and effective design that is fit for the purpose.

In Korea, the CCGTs have been installed to about 25% of the total generating capacity. Generally CCGTs determine the System Marginal Prices(SMP) in Cost Based Generation Pool. So the scheduling of CCGTs is very important in daily generation scheduling. This paper describes the scheduling of CCGTs which considers the operating characteristics of them. We use lagrangian relaxation method which decomposes the unit committment problem into the subproblems of the individual unit. In the CCGT subproblem, we define the cost function of CCGT in two way. In Case study, the daily generation scheduling is performed using the data of Korean thermal system.

As the construction of renewable energy generators is on the rise and gets bigger in size, researchers pay more and more attention to the impact of such facilities on the power market as well as on the stability of power grid system. In Korea, while studies on the latter, including calculating the marginal capacity of renewable energy generators, is being made, those on the former has not yet been performed. As such, this paper analyses the impact of a big renewable energy generators on the price and transaction cost of domestic power market and proposes ideas to minimize such influence by applying the technology of forecasting renewable energy.

블록체인 기반 탈중앙화 금융 시장의 등장과 함께 분산 금융 어플리케이션의 사용자와 자본 유동성이 크게 증가하고 있다. 자동화 마켓 메이커는 탈중앙화 거래 플랫폼의 유동성을 바탕으로 자동으로 거래 단가를 계산하는 프로토콜로, 거래 플랫폼의 유동성 풀을 활용하여 구매자와 판매자가 동 시간대에 존재하지 않아도 거래의 성사를 가능하게 하여 현재 탈중앙화 거래 시장에서 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 자동화 마켓 메이커는 거래의 비용 효율이 거래에 사용되는 특정 유동성 풀의 유동성 규모에 의존하여, 유동성 풀의 규모가 작고 거래의 규모가 클수록 거래의 비용 효율이 크게 감소한다는 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 상대적으로 유동성의 규모가 큰 유동성 풀로 거래 경로를 우회하여 비용 효율을 개선하는 거래 경로 라우팅 알고리즘이 채택되고 있지만, 단일 거래 경로만을 사용하기 때문에 여전히 개선의 여지가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 거래 경로를 우회하는 것에 더하여 거래 규모를 분산하여 다수의 거래 경로를 동시에 탐색하는 다중 경로 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안하고, 해당 알고리즘을 사용하여 자동화 마켓 메이커 기반의 거래 환경에서 기존의 거래 경로 라우팅 알고리즘에 비해 거래의 비용 효율을 개선한다.

This paper presents a unique approach to scheme a demand response (DR) program in the electricity market from a customer-oriented perspective, which is based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The proposed program is designed as an incentive-based program (IBP) considering Korea power systems with the cost-based generation pool (CBP). And the proposed DR program has the objective to maximize social welfare corresponding customers‘ participation and the constraints including incentive payments, the specific load curtailment conditions and reserve-margin criterion. A test system for the case study is used to demonstrate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed approach, and the load profiles with the proposed DR program are obtained. The results show not only the revenue attributable to the avoided costs but also enhancement of system reliability.

At present, the Korean electricity industry is undergoing restructuring and the Cost Based-generation Pool (CBP) market is being operated in preparation of a Two Way Bidding Pool (TWBP) market. In deregulated electricity industries, an integrated power market simulator is one of the tools that can be used by market participants and market operators analyzing market behaviors and studying market structures and market codes. In this regard, it is very important to develop an electricity market simulator that reflects market code providing a market operation mechanism. This paper presents the development of an integrated market simulator, called the Power Exchange Simulator (PEXSIM), which is designed to imitate the Korean electricity market considering the various features of the market operating mechanism such as uniform price and constrained on/off payment. The PEXSIM is developed in VB.NET and composed of five modules whose titles are M-SIM, P-SIM, O-SIM, T-SIM and G-SIM interfacing the Access database program. To verify the features and the performance of the PEXSIM, a small Two Way bidding market with a 12-bus system and a One Way bidding market for generator competition will be presented for the electricity market simulations using PEXSIM.

The penetration potential of TIG welding in one single run is limited, though the process itself generates high quality welds with good weld cosmetics. This is one of the main reasons, which has contributed to its development in high duty applications such as those encountered in aeronautical, aerospace, nuclear & power plant applications. For these applications, stainless steels, titanium k nickel based alloys are most often used. As these materials remain very sensible to weld heat input k atmospheric pollution, stringent processing conditions are imposed. For example welding of titanium alloys requires argon shielding of weld zone and for 5 mm thick plates multi-pass runs & filler additions are required. This multi-run operation not only raises the welding cost, but also increases defect risks. In recent years, extensive interest has been raised by the possibility to increase weld penetrations through flux applications & the process is designated ATIG-activated TIG, or FBTIG-flux bounded TIG. The improved welding performance of such flux assisted TIG is related to arc constriction and surface tension effects on weld pool. The research work by authors has lead to the formulation of welding fluxes for stainless steels k titanium alloys with TIG Process. These fluxes are now commercialized & some applications in industry have already been carried out. FBTIG for aluminum has been proposed with silica application for AC mode TIG welding. The paper highlights the fundamentals of flux role in TIG welding and illustrates some industrial applications.

한 가지의 용량가격만으로는 발전용량 설비투자에 대한 안정적 보상과 시장 기능 유지라는 두 가지 목표를 동시에 달성하기 힘들다. 본 논문은 이런 한계를 극복할 수 있도록 복수의 용량가격을 도입하여 용량가격의 비중을 높이면서 동시에 시장 기능을 유지할 수 있는 이원적 용량가격 제도를 제안한다. 즉, 현재 가스터빈 발전기를 기준으로 하면서 행정적으로 결정되는 용량가격을 그대로 유지하면서, 동시에 LNG복합발전기를 대상으로 한 제2의 용량가격을 도입한다. 이 용량요금은 더 낮은 에너지 가격 상한의 적용을 받으며, 상이한 전원들 사이의 대체관계를 고려한 수요와 용량공급 상황을 반영하도록 설계함으로써 시장 기능을 유지하게 한다.

In the cost based pool market in Korea, there is no compensation of reactive power because the fuel cost for reactive power is relatively low compared to that of active power. However, the change of energy paradigm in the future, such as widespread integration of distributed renewable energy source, will prevent the system operator from mandating the reactive power supply without any compensation. Thus, in this study, we propose the reference voltage of the 345 kV transmission system that minimizes the reactive power supply. This is closely related to the economic dispatch of reactive power aiming at minimizing the compensation cost for the reactive power service. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed reference voltage, the simulations are performed using the IEEE 14 bus system and the KEPCO real networks. The simulation results show that a voltage lower than the current reference value is recommended to reduce the reactive power supply and also suggest that the current voltage specification for the 345 kV system needs to be reviewed.
