The invention relates to a global optimization method of an ultra-low emission multi-pollutant cooperative removal system, which obtains an accurate description of a multi-pollutant generation, migration, conversion and removal process in a multi-device through an accurate modeling of a multi-device multi-pollutant cooperative removal process in an ultra-low emission system. The multi-pollutant emission reduction cost under different load, coal quality, pollutant concentration and operation parameters is evaluated accurately by the global operation cost evaluation method in ultra-low emissionsystem. Minute-level planning and optimization of emission reduction of global pollution reduction devices under different emission targets are realized by global operation optimization method of multi-pollutant multi-objective and multi-operating conditions. Reliable emission reduction and side-by-side control of pollutants are ensured through advanced control methods with low emission and multi-pollutant emission meeting the standards reliably. The invention innovates the modeling, optimization and control method of the ultra-low emission system from the aspects of model, architecture and algorithm, improves the controllability and adjustability of the system, and guides the efficient, reliable and economic operation of the ultra-low emission system.

An evaluation apparatus which evaluates environmental load of circulated life cycle in which group of products recovered from one of markets which differ from each other in value lifetime of group is introduced into another of markets, cost thereof and profit thereof generates attribute data of group, attribute data of group including remaining useful lifetime and product age, determinates introduction order and introduction rule which are used for introducing group into markets, based on remaining useful lifetime at point in time when group is recovered from one of markets and remaining value lifetime of group which is obtained by subtracting product age at point in time when group is recovered from one of markets from value lifetime of another of markets, and evaluates environmental load of circulated life cycle in which group is introduced into markets in accordance with introduction order and rule, cost thereof and profit thereof.

Method and apparatus for calculating warranty cost includes determining values for a plurality of parameters that characterize a corresponding plurality of physical conditions of a product that is returned under warranty, determining values for a plurality of variables that characterize a customer profile for the product and evaluating an expression that calculates warranty cost based on said determined parameter and variable values. The plurality of physical conditions of the product includes the conditions of no-trouble-found (NTF), repaired, junked, and subject to further failure mode analysis (FMA). The plurality of parameters further comprises probabilities and costs that correspond to each of the physical conditions. Evaluating the above expression includes evaluating a first expression that calculates repair, product conformance and Dead-On-Arrival cost and evaluating a second expression that calculates Change Notice cost. Subsequently, the two costs are summed to arrive at the total warranty cost.
