This paper presents a development of operation scheduling and reactive operation scheduling system for hull fabrication. The methodology for implementing operation scheduling system is HHGA(Hierarchical Hybrid Genetic Algorithm) which exploits both the global perspective of the genetic algorithm and the rapid convergence of the heuristic search for operation scheduling. The methodology for the reactive operation scheduling is the revised HHGA which consists of manual schedule editor for occurrence of exceptional events and the revised scheduling method used in operation scheduling. As the results of experiment, it has been confirmed that HHGA is able to search good operation scheduling within reasonable time, and the revised HHGA is able to search load-balanced reactive operation scheduling with minimum changes of initial operation schedule within short period of time.

We propose a new optimization framework for the reactive scheduling. The proposed rescheduling scheme is specially focused on how to generate rescheduling results when equipment failure occurs. The approach is based on a continuous-time problem representation that takes into account the schedule in progress, the updated information on the batches still to be processed, the present plant state, the deviations in plant parameters and the time data. To update the predictive scheduling, we used right shift rescheduling and total regeneration when equipment failure occurs. And, a practical solution to the rescheduling problem requires satisfaction of two often confliction measures: the efficiency measure that evaluates the satisfaction of a desired objective function value and the stability measure that evaluates the amount of change between the schedules before and after the disruption. In this paper, the efficiency is measured by the makespan of all jobs in the system. And, the stability is measured by the percentage change in makespan and the modified sequence deviation in the predictive scheduling and rescheduling.

In this paper, an improved maintenance scheduling approach suitable for the competitive environment is proposed by taking account of profits and costs of generation companies and the formulated combinatorial optimization problem is solved by using Reactive Tabu search (RTS). In competitive power markets, electricity prices are determined by the balance between demand and supply through electric power exchanges or by bilateral contracts. Therefore, in decision makings, it is essential for system operation planners and market participants to take the volatility of electricity price into consideration. In the proposed maintenance scheduling approach, firstly, electricity prices over the targeted period are forecasted based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and also a newly proposed aggregated bidding curve. Secondary, the maintenance scheduling is formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem with a novel objective function by which the most profitable maintenance schedule would be attained. As an objective function, Opportunity Loss by Maintenance (OLM) is adopted to maximize the profit of generation companies (GENCOS). Thirdly, the combinatorial optimization maintenance scheduling problem is solved by using Reactive Tabu Search in the light of the objective functions and forecasted electricity prices. Finally, the proposed maintenance scheduling is applied to a practical test power system to verify the advantages and practicability of the proposed method.

전체적인 조선 생산일정계획을 수립하기 위해서 계층적 구조를 채택하였다. 이 구조에 의하면 도크의 상위 일정계획 생성기는 탑재 일정계획을 생성하고, 조립공정의 하위 일정계획 생성기는 상위 일정계획 생성기가 요구하는 범위 내에서 각각 세부적인 조립 일정계획을 세우게 된다. 그런데 하위 일정계획 생성기가 아무리 노력하여도 상위 일정계획 생성기로부터의 제약조건을 만족시킬 수 없는 상황이 발생하면, 일정계획 수정기에 통보하여 초기 탑재 일정계획을 수정해야 한다. 하위 일정계획 생성기로부터의 조정요청을 반영하기 위해서 부분 수정을 통해 충격을 최소화시키는 일련의 휴리스틱으로 구성된 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 각각의 휴리스틱은 여유시간 제거, 버퍼 제거, 작업시간 축소, 다단계 여유시간 제거, 과부하 자원 공유블럭 조정, 자원 제약조건 완화 등이고, 흡수되지 않은 일부의 충격은 주변으로 전파된다. 이와같은 방법론을 대우조선의 상황에 적용하여, 조선일정계획 수정 시스템인 DAS-REACT를 개발하였다.

With the increasing deployment of distributed generators in the distribution system, a very large search space is required when dynamic programming (DP) is applied for the optimized dispatch schedules of voltage and reactive power controllers such as on-load tap changers, distributed generators, and shunt capacitors. This study proposes a new optimal voltage and reactive power scheduling method based on dynamic programming with a heuristic searching space reduction approach to reduce the computational burden. This algorithm is designed to determine optimum dispatch schedules based on power system day-ahead scheduling, with new control objectives that consider the reduction of active power losses and maintain the receiving power factor. In this work, to reduce the computational burden, an advanced voltage sensitivity index (AVSI) is adopted to reduce the number of load-flow calculations by estimating bus voltages. Moreover, the accumulated switching operation number up to the current stage is applied prior to the load-flow calculation module. The computational burden can be greatly reduced by using dynamic programming. Case studies were conducted using the IEEE 30-bus test systems and the simulation results indicate that the proposed method is more effective in terms of saving electric charges and improving the voltage profile than loss minimization.

In this paper, we have described the Ramp Activity Coordination Expert System (RACES) which can solve aircraft parking problems. RACES includes a knowledge-based scheduling problem which assigns every daily arriving and departing flight to the gates and remote spots with the domain specific knowledge and heuristics acquired from human experts. RACES processes complex scheduling problem such as dynamic inter-relations among the characteristics of remote spots/gates and aircraft with various other constraints, for example, custome and ground handling factors at an airport. By user-driven modeling for end users and knowledge-driven near optimal scheduling acquired from human experts, RACES can produce parking schedules of aircraft in about 20 seconds for about 400 daily flights, whereas it normally takes about 4 to 5 hours by human experts. Scheduling results in the form of Gantt charts produced by the RACES are also accepted by the domain experts. RACES is also designed to deal with the partial adjustment of the schedule when unexpected events occur. After daily scheduling is completed, the messages for aircraft changes and delay messages are reflected and updated into the schedule according to the knowledge of the domain experts. By analyzing the knowledge model of the domain expert, the reactive scheduling steps are effectively represented as rules and the scenarios of the Graphic User Interfaces (GUI) are designed. Since the modification of the aircraft dispositions such as aircraft changes and cancellations of flights are reflected to the current schedule, the modification should be notified to RACES from the mainframe for the reactive scheduling. The adjustments of the schedule are made semi-automatically by RACES since there are many irregularities in dealing with the partial rescheduling.

The optimal operation of power system is developed by alternately using real power dispatch and reactive power dispatch problem. The real power system scheduling process is formulated as an optimization problem with linear inequality constraints. A.C. loadflow method is used for the problem solution and line losses are considered. The constraints under consideration are generator power limits, load scehdling limits and line capacity limits. In solving the objective function the Dual Relaxation method is adopted. Tests indicate that the method is practical for real time application. The reactive power control problem uses the Dual Simplex Relaxation method as in the real scheduling case. Insted of minimizing the cost of power system, the objective is selected as to determine the highest possible voltage schedule. The constraints under consideration are the voltage limits at each node and the possibilities of supply or absobtion of reactive energy by generator units and the compensation facilities. Tests indicate that the method is practical for real time applications. The overall optimization methods developed in this paper proved to obtained fine results in minimizing object function compared with the method without using voltage control. And the overall voltage profiles were also improved.

This study proposes a solution to the voltage drop in electric vehicle chargers, due to the parasitic resistance and inductance of power cables when the chargers are separated by large distances. A method using multi-level electric vehicle chargers that can output power in stages, without installing an additional energy supply source such as a reactive power compensator or an energy storage system, is proposed. The voltage drop over the power cables, to optimize the charging scheduling, is derived. The obtained voltage drop equation is used to formulate the constraints of the optimization process. To validate the effectiveness of the obtained results, an optimal charging scheduling is performed for each period in a case study based on the assumed charging demands of three connected chargers. From the calculations, the proposed method was found to generate an annual profit of $20,800 for a $12,500 increase in installation costs.

전통적으로 스케줄링 문제를 해결하기 위해 LP(Linear Programming) 기법이 주로 적용되어 왔으나, 스케줄링 문제의 많은 자원과 지식, 제약조건의 복잡한 상관 관계를 LPrl법으로 표현하고 처리하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 최근에는 AI 기법을 스케줄링 문제에 많이 적용하고 있고, AI 기법은 지식 표현 및 휴리스틱을 다루기에 효과적이므로 문제를 모델링하고 해결하는데 용이하다 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 AI 기법을 기반으로 하여 스케줄링에 적합한 휴리스틱 및, 탐색기법, 지식표현 방법등을 연구하고, 이를 바탕으로 코스 스케줄링 시스템을 구현하였다. 먼저 시스템은 전체적으로 메타프로그래밍을 통하여 초기 스케줄링(initial scheduling)과 동적스케줄링 (reactive scheduling)을 수행하도록 하였다. 메타프로그램이 초기 스케줄링을 수행할때에는 휴리스틱과 자체적인 도메인 여과기법을 적용하여 탐색 공간의 불일치 요소(inconsistency)를 제거시킴으로써 백트랙킹의 발생을 최소화시켰다. 또한 초기 스케줄링의 결과를 가지고 메타프로그래밍이 동적 재스케줄링을 수행할때에는 제약조건을 통한 휴리스틱을 이용하여 초기해에 대한 조정을 최소화할 수 있는 메카니즘을 제시하였다. 이에 대한 적용 결과는 실험을 통하여 기존의 논리 언어가 제공하는 탐색 알고리즘과 비교하고 분석하였다.
