Abstract

Recent droughts make hydroelectric power generation (HPG) decreasing. Due to climate change in the future, the frequency and intensity of drought are expected to increase, which will increase uncertainty of HPG in multi-purpose dams. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the amount of HPG according to climate change scenarios and analyze the effect of drought on the amount of HPG. This study analyzed the future HPG of the Soyanggang Dam and Chungju Dam according to the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. Regression equations for HPG were developed based on the observed data of power generation discharge and HPG in the past provided by My Water, and future HPGs were estimated according to the SSP scenarios. The effect of drought on the amount of HPG was investigated based on the drought severity calculated using the standardized precipitation index (SPI). In this study, the future SPIs were calculated using precipitation data based on four GCM models (CanESM5, ACCESS-ESM1-5, INM-CM4-8, IPSL-CM6A) provided through the environmental big data platform. Overall results show that climate change had significant effects on the amount of HPG. In the case of Soyanggang Dam, the amount of HPG decreased in the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. Under the SSP2-4.5 scenario the CanESM model showed a 65% reduction in 2031, and under the SSP5-8.5 scenario the ACCESS-ESM1-5 model showed a 54% reduction in 2029. In the case of Chungju Dam, under the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios the average monthly HPG compared to the reference period showed a decreasing trend except for INM-CM4 model.

최근 발생한 가뭄으로 인해 수력발전량이 감소하고 있다. 또한, 미래 기후변화로 인해 가뭄의 빈도와 강도는 커질 것으로 예상되며, 이는 다목적댐의 수력발전량에 대한 불확실성이 커지게 할 것이다. 따라서 미래 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 수력발전량을 추정하고, 가뭄이 수력발전량에 미치는 영향을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 SSP2-4.5와 SSP5-8.5 시나리오에 따른 소양강댐과 충주댐의 수력발전량을 분석하였다. My water에서 제공되는 수력발전량, 발전방류량 및 총방류량 자료를 바탕으로 수력발전량에 대한 회귀방정식을 개발하고, SSP 시나리오에 따른 미래 수력발전량을 추정하였다. 또한 환경 빅데이터 플랫폼을 통해 제공되는 4개의 GCM (CanESM5, ACCESS-ESM1-5, INM-CM4-8, IPSL-CM6A) 모델에 대한 강수량 자료를 기반으로 표준강수지수(SPI)를 산정하여 연간 가뭄 심각도를 계산하고, 가뭄에 따른 수력발전량을 비교 분석하였다. 전체적인 분석 결과 기후변화는 수력발전량에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 소양강댐의 경우, SSP2-4.5 및 SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서 수력발전량이 감소하는 추세가 나타났고, SSP2-4.5 시나리오에서 CanESM 모델은 2031년에 65%, SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서 ACCESS-ESM1-5 모델은 2029년에 54% 감소하는 것을 나타냈다. 충주댐의 경우, SSP2-4.5와 SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서 기준 기간 대비 월평균 수력발전량이 INM-CM4 모델을 제외하고 감소 추세를 보였다.
