Abstract

In this paper, we simulate the contribution of an increasing renewable energy to demands for fossil fuels and power supply price by estimating a cost function for the Korean electric power generation sector. Since the renewable energy is a composite input, it is not feasible to compute the price index for renewable energy due to data limit. We estimate a restricted cost function, which is derived by minimizing the costs of fossil fuels conditional on the quantity of renewable energy set to its optimal level, jointly with supply relation. In particular, derivation of the shadow price of renewable energy would make it possible to analyze potential costs incurred by power plants.

본 논문에서는 국내 발전산업에 대한 비용함수를 추정하고 계수에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 신재생에너지 투입 확대가 화석에너지 수요와 전력공급가격에 미치는 파급효과를 분석한다. 신재생에너지는 풍력, 태양광, 바이오, 연료전지, 수력 등 여러 에너지원을 통합한 개념으로서 산정방식의 일반화 문제와 자료의 제약 등의 이유로 각 에너지원의 상용 단가를 하나의 투입 가격으로 객관적으로 산정하는 것은 용이하지 않다. 이러한 현실적 한계를 고려하여 적정 수준의 신재생에너지 투입을 전제로 제약비용함수(restricted cost function)를 도출한 다음, 공급관계식(supply relation)을 결합하여 추정을 위한 방정식체계를 구성한다. 특히 신재생에너지의 암묵가격(shadow price)을 산출함으로써 신재생에너지 투입 확대로 인한 기업의 잠재적 비용부담의 변화추이를 분석한다.
