This paper, using AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) electricity data accurately measured in real time, analyses the characteristics and patterns of temperature effect on the industrial electricity usage. For this goal, the paper constructs and estimates a model which captures the properties of AMR time series including long-term trends, mid-term temperature effects, and short-term special day effects. Based on the estimated temperature response function and the temperature effect, we categorize the whole industry into two groups: one group with sharp temperature effect and the other with weak temperature effect. Furthermore, the industry group with sharp temperature effect is classified into a summer peak industry group and a winter peak industry group, based on the estimates of the temperature response function. These empirical results carry practical policy implications on the real time electricity demand management.

한전은 1995년 5월에 가격기능에 의한 수요관리 효과를 증진시키기 위하여 계절·시간대별 차등요금(이하 계시별 요금)을 대폭적으로 변경하였다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 요금구조 변경에 대한 수용가의 반응도 분석을 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 요금구조 변경전인 95년 4월을 기준으로 1년후인 1996년 4월의 일반용(을) 및 산업용(병) 갑 및 을 종별에 대한 가격탄력성과 수용가의 부하패턴 변화를 측정하였다. 가격탄력성은 산술적 모형을 이용하면 산업평균 최대부하 시간대가 -0.0121, 중부하 및 경부하 시간대가 각각 -0.0788 및 -0.0012으로 산출되었다. 또한 회귀모형을 이용할 경우 최대부하 시간대가 -0.0126, 중부하 시간대가 -0.0018 및 최대부하 시간대가 0.0006로 나타났다. 한편 계시별 요금에 대한 수용가의 반응성은 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 계시별 요금이 피크시간대에 매우 낮으나 분명한 수요감소에 영향을 주고 있다. 둘째, 산업별로의 수용가의 반응성이 매우 다르다. 셋째, 상업용 수용가의 반응도가 매우 낮다. 넷째, 같은 가격탄력성은 수용가의 규모가 클수록 가격 변화에 대한 수용가의 반응성은 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

Korean energy use in industrial sector has increased more rapidly than other sectors during 1980~2000 periods. Relatively higher increases in industrial sector energy consumption raise questions whether government policy of rationalization of industrial energy use has been effective. In this study, we use 80-85-90 and 90-95-00 constant price input-output table to analyze increases in industrial energy use. Using an adjusted version of structural decomposition model introduced by Chen and Rose (1990), we decompose Changes of energy use into 17 elements. We classify entire industry sector into 32 sectors including four energy sectors (coal and coal products, refined petroleum, electricity and town gas). We then analyze changes of energy use by industrial level to check differences among industrial energy demand structures. Finally, we compare three industries, electronic product manufacturing, metal manufacturing and construction, that represent technology and capital intensive, energy and material intensive and labor and capital intensive industry. As results, we find that high energy using industries make the most effort to reduce energy use. Primary metal, petrochemical and mon-metal industries show improvements in elements such as energy and material productivity, energy and material imports, energy substitution and material substitutions towards energy saving. These results imply that although those industries are heavy users of energy, they put the best effort to reduce energy use relative to other industries. We find various patterns of change in industrial energy use at industrial level. To reduce energy use, electronic product manufacturing industry needs more effort to improve technological change element while construction industry needs more effort to improve material input structure element.

The following policy implications can be drawn from this study: 1) The Air Pollution Emission Amount Report published by the Ministry of Environment since 1991 classifies industries into 4 sectors, i. e., heating, manufacturing, transportation and power generation. Currently, the usability of report is very low and extra efforts should be given to refine the current statistics and to improve the industrial classification. 2) Big pollution industries are as follows - s7, s17 and s20. The current air pollution control policy for these sectors compared to other sectors are found to be inefficient. This finding should be noted in the implementation of future air pollution policy. 3) s10 and s17 are found to be a big polluting industrial sector and its pollution reduction effect is also significant. 4) The effect of emission coefficient (${\Delta}f$) has the biggest impact on the reduction of emission amount change and the effect of economic growth coefficient (${\Delta}y$) has the biggest impact on the increase of emission volume. The effect of production technology factor (${\Delta}D$) and the effect of the change of the final demand structure (${\Delta}u$) are insignificant in terms of the change of emission volume. 5) Further studies on emission estimation techniques on each industry sector and the economic analysis are required to promote effective enforcement of the total volume control system of air pollutants, the differential management of pollution causing industrial sectors and the integration of environment and economy. 6) Korea's economic growth in 1990 is not pollution-driven in terms of the Barry Commoner's hypothesis, even though the overall industrial structure and the demand structure are not environmentally friendly. It indicates that environmental policies for the improvement of air quality depend mainly on the government initiatives and systematic national level consideration of industrial structures and the development of green technologies are not fully incorporated.
