Abstract

Prior to full-scale implementation of smart grid, the Korean government is conducting a smart grid testbed in Jeju island. However, the participants of the ongoing program are skeptical about the success of the expansion of smart grid. The concern rises from various reasons; the limits of the Korean electricity market mainly led by both the government and KEPCO, high stability and reliability of the existing electricity grid, insufficient utilization of renewable energy, and public fear of raised electricity bills. Five key issues in regards to facilitating the Korean smart grid market are extracted and evaluated. The issues are conflict of interest among participants, the effect of introducing real-time pricing, lack of customer participation of demand response, and absence of business models.

현재 정부는 본격적인 전력 스마트그리드 확대에 앞서 제주도 구좌읍 6,000호를 대상으로 스마트그리드 실증사업을 추진 중에 있다. 하지만, 관련 기업들은 정부와 한전 주도의 한국 전력시장의 한계, 기존 전력망의 높은 안정성 및 효율성, 신재생에너지 활용도 미흡, 전기요금 인상 우려 등을 이유로 스마트그리드 확산에 대한 부정적인 시각을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 스마트그리드 시장을 활성화하기 위한 핵심 이슈들을 1) 이해관계자들의 대립 문제, 2) 실시간 요금제 도입에 따른 효과 문제, 3) 소비자들의 수요 반응 참여 부족, 4) 스마트그리드의 비즈니스 모델부재, 5) 스마트그리드 거점지구 확산 문제 등의 5가지로 분류하고, 이에 대한 전략적 방안을 제시하였다.
