Abstract

Nuclear power generation is a major power source which accounts for more than 30% of domestic electricity generation. Electricity market needs to secure stability of base load. This study aimed at analyzing relationships between nuclear power generation and wholesale electricity price (SMP: System Marginal Price) in Korea. For this we conducted ARDL(Autoregressive Distributed Lag) approach and Granger causality test. We found that in terms of total effects nuclear power supply had a positive relationship with SMP while nuclear capacity had a negative relationship with SMP. There is a unidirectional Granger causality from nuclear power supply to SMP while the reverse was not. Nuclear power is closely related to SMP and provides useful information for decision making.

국내 발전량의 30% 이상을 차지하는 원자력발전은 기저부하의 안정성 확보 측면에서 전력산업에서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원자력 발전과 도매전력가격의 관계를 분석하고자한다. 이를 위해 자기회귀시차분포 (ARDL: Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model) 모형과 Granger 인과성을 통해 원자력발전과 전력도매가격 (SMP: System Marginal Price)의 관계를 살펴보았다. 분석결과 단기적 효과는 다르게 나타날 수 있지만 총 효과 (장기효과)로 볼 때 원자력공급량과 SMP는 양(+)의 관계로 나타났다. 일반적인 장기균형식에서 원자력발전용량은 SMP와 양 (+)의 관계인 반면에 시차변수를 포함한 ARDL 모형의 경우 발전용량은 SMP와 음 (-)의 관계로 이론에 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 인과성 검정결과 원자력발전 공급량은 SMP에 일방향의 Granger 인과성이 있으나 그 역의 관계는 성립하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 시계열분석을 통하여 원자력발전은 SMP와 밀접한 연관성을 갖고 있음을 발견할 수 있었다.
