신·재생에너지 보급통계에 의하면 바이오매스 발전실적은 2013년 부터 급증하고 있으며 그 중에서 가장 급격하게 증가한 연료는 Wood pellet으로 2013년 696Gwh, 2014년 2,764Gwh, 2015년에는 2,512Gwh를 발전 하였고 국내 Wood pellet 총 소비량은 2015년 기준 148만톤이며 그 중 발전용으로 소비된 Wood pellet은 108만톤으로 약 73%를 차지하고 있다. 본 연구에서 Wood pellet 소요량을 예측한 결과 국내 발전용으로 필요한 Wood pellet 소요량은 2020년 261만톤, 2025년 685만톤, 2030년 1,139만톤이 필요하며, 최적 바이오매스 발전량 산정을 위하여 바이오매스 발전소에서 국내 생산 Wood pellet 사용량을 50% 사용한다는 가정하에 기허가 신청된 발전소를 가동하기 위해서는 2021년 226만 톤의 Wood pellet이 국내에서 생산되어야 한다는 결론이 도출되었다.

It is considered necessary to renewal a considerable number of water supply facilities in Korea because they began to be intensively buried in the period of rapid economic growth. Accordingly, local water providers are required to take measures against this situation, but they have currently been caught in a vicious circle of the lack of budget spent in renewing water supply facilities because county-based small-scale local water supply cannot afford to cover annual expenditures with their revenues from water rates. Therefore, this study developed an optimal renewal planning model capable of achieving a balance of financial revenue and expenditure in local water supply using nonlinear programming and furthermore of minimizing the total cost incurred during the analysis. To this end, this study selected the water supply area located in County Y as a research area to build the financial revenue and expenditure and used Solver function provided by Microsoft Excel to use nonlinear programming. As a result, this study developed an optimal renewal planning model minimizing incurred costs in consideration of 6 items in the financial revenue and expenditure. The optimal renewal plan was modeled according to the available annual budget. As a result, this study proposed SICD, a scenario to minimize total costs from the perspective of water suppliers, and SITS, a scenario to minimize the increase in water rates from the perspective of consumers. It can be said that the method proposed in this study is the core of the optimal financial and renewal plans as a final stage of asset management for water supply facilities. Therefore, it is considered possible for local water providers to use the method proposed in this study according to circumstances for the asset management of water supply facilities.

An emergency diesel generator(EDG) manufactured by a French company Wartsila SACM is a tandem type engine and consisted of two 10 cylindered diesel engines on each side. The maintenance manual provided by the manufacturer recommends that engine bearing be inspected every 15 years. However, it is difficult to inspect them because the manhole located in the lower compartment of the engine is too small for maintenance worker to access engine internals. Furthermore, the EDG should be disassembled and then overturned to inspect bearings unlike other EDG type. Such process will take longer period time than ordinary maintenance period. So it is not possible to inspect the main engine bearing and crank shaft during a routine or scheduled maintenance. In this paper, five methods are proposed and estimated to resolve the problem and the optimal maintenance method is chosen among them. The proposed optimal maintenance plan makes it possible to perform proper maintenance during regular maintenance period and to lower maintenance cost considerably.
