Abstract

With the rise of the interest in a renewable system, the importance of the Life Cycle Cost Analysis(LCCA), an economic evaluation tool, has been increasing. However, there is an inevitable gap between a real cost and an estimation from LCCA because of the uncertainty of the external environment in real world. As the input variables in an analysis, such as a real discount rate and an energy cost, ares subject to change as time goes by, strategic decision on the current operating system is made depending on the real cost. Current economic evaluation approaches have treated only the fluctuation of input variables without consideration of the flexibility in operation, which has consequently led to the impairment on the reliability of LCCA. Therefore, new approach needs to be proposed to consider both the uncertainty of input variables and operational flexibility. To address this issue, the application of the Real Option to LCCA is presented in this study. Through a case analysis of LCCA of a solar heating system, the limits and current status of LCCA are identified. As a result, quantitative presentation of strategic decisions has been added in the new approach to implement the traditional approach.

신재생에너지 시스템에 대한 관심이 집중되면서 생애주기비용 분석의 중요성 또한 대두되고 있다. 하지만 LCC분석은 변화하는 환경을 반영하기 힘들며, 특히 분석시점에서의 입력변수(할인율, 인플레이션, 에너지비 등)를 하나의 고정된 값으로 가정하거나 또는 입력변수에 대한 민감도 분석만을 수행함에 따라 변화하는 환경에서 실시간으로 사용자의 의사결정을 지원하기에는 한계가 있다. 이를 위해서는 LCC분석에서의 입력변수의 불확실성뿐만 아니라 운영 유연성을 통합적으로 고려한 새로운 경제성 분석방법론이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신재생에너지 중 태영열난방시스템을 대상으로 미래의 불확실성과 운영상의 유연성을 확보하고 사용자의 전략적 의사결정을 지원하기 위하여 실물옵션을 활용한 LCC분석 개선방안을 제시하였다. 신재생에너지 시스템 중 태양열난방시스템에 대한 LCC 사례분석을 통하여 확정/확률론적 LCC분석 현황과 한계점을 분석하고, 이를 기반으로 실물옵션 기반 생애주기비용 분석방법을 제안하였으며, 분석결과 기존 LCC분석 결과와 달리 유가상승을 전제하에 태양열난방시스템이 기름보일러보다 경제성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서 제시한 실물옵션 기반 생애주기비용은 불확실한 상황과 그에 따른 운영 유연성을 동시에 고려함으로써, 신재생에너지 시스템뿐만 아니라 다양한 대안평가에서도 합리적인 의사결정을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
