Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing a tender of an aggregate power plant. The apparatus for processing a tender of an aggregate power plant includes an aggregate power plant configuration management unit for generating an aggregate profile by forming an aggregate power plant by grouping distributed energy resources for participating in a power market, a monitoring unit for reconfiguring the aggregate profile by monitoring the distributed energy resources, a tender-processing unit for calculating an offering amount of the aggregate power plant using the aggregate profile, and a tender weight calculation unit for calculating a weight coefficient based on meteorological information in order to adjust the offering amount and for providing the weight coefficient to the tender-processing unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a cloud service brokerage method and apparatus using a service image store. The cloud service brokerage apparatus includes a reception unit for receiving service requirements from each of users, a service image recommendation unit for recommending one or more candidate service images that satisfy the requirements among multiple service images stored in a service image store, a cloud server recommendation unit for recommending one or more candidate cloud servers that satisfy the requirements among multiple cloud servers, a registration unit for registering an optimal service image selected by the user from among the one or more candidate service images in an optimal cloud server selected by the user from among the one or more candidate cloud servers, and a transmission unit for transmitting results of a service implemented by executing the optimal service image on the optimal cloud server to the user.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for managing network resources required in a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) environment. A verifier for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) resource allocation includes a network information reception unit for receiving information about network services from Operations Support Systems (OSS) or Business Support Systems (BSS) in an NFV environment, a combination information generation unit for generating combination information made when Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) required by each network service are allocated to physical or virtual network resources, based on the received network service information, and a verification unit for verifying whether the combination information is applicable to available network resources in the NFV environment. Accordingly, a network service provider and a network administrator may detect problems related to resource availability in advance, thus more securely deriving the design of network services and the planning to secure network resources.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an orchestrator, which efficiently manages various applications and management services that are running in a SDN environment. The SDN multi-orchestrator system includes an application layer orchestrator for orchestrating multiple applications provided by a SDN application layer that provides the applications by utilizing network resources with programmatic manners, a control layer orchestrator for orchestrating resource allocation between resource requirements from the applications and for controlling data packet transmission using virtual and physical network resources in a resource layer and a management layer orchestrator for managing multiple management services provided by management layer to coordinate the application layer and the control layer. Accordingly, the multi-orchestrator structure may provide management and orchestration functions in consideration of the characteristics of respective layers, thus providing a more rapid and efficient orchestration function via specialization and automation.
