Abstract

The learning effect is one of the theoretical frameworks that examine the mechanisms of the deployment of energy technologies. The objective of this paper is to provide a theoretical overview and a critical analysis of the literature on the experience curve for energy technology. For these objectives, we review a couple of theoretical aspects and applications and investigate the sources of learning and cost reductions to grasp the mechanisms of teaming effect. Finally we conclude some insights from our theoretical reviews.

학습효과는 에너지기술의 전개와 관련된 메커니즘을 규명하려는 이론 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 학습 효과에 대한 이론적 고찰을 함으로써 아직까지는 국내에서 일천한 관련 이론에 대한 기반을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 학습곡선과 관련된 국내외 선행연구사례, 제반이론, 적용방법 및 정책 응용에 관하여 살펴본다. 또한 에너지기술의 학습과 비용절감 요인에 대하여 살펴봄으로써 학습곡선의 메커니즘을 파악한다. 마지막으로 각 장별 내용을 바탕으로 결론을 도출한다.
