Waste reduce, recycle, energy recovery technology is one of 27 key green technology by 2012, the government should increase R&D investment, despite the period 2008 to 2010 average annual growth rate was decreased. Accordingly, this area of government investment in R&D status analyzed in detail and as a result, total government investment in R&D decreased, but in these fields to define strategic product services investment in technology is increasing centralization trend that appears to be investment in the quality of determined that the good is. In particular, in 2010, strategic product service of the technologies 3 technology groups ((1) waste energy equipment (2) waste resource recycling facilities (3) waste based materials production facilities) the proportion of 24-28% relatively evenly invested, government R&D is judged that adequate investment in quality.

The adequate measurement of government expenditure efficiency for Energy Technology Development is a difficult empirical issue and the literature on it, particularly when it comes to aggregate and international data. Contribution in this study is threefold: first this study analyze the adequate measurement of government expenditure efficiency on Energy Technology sector of 24 OECD countries and korea. Second this study reconstruct efficiency composite indicators, named "Energy Technology Development Interest level indicator". Third this study assesses the efficiency of government expenditure for Energy Technology Development. The results can be summarized as follow: Korea's government expenditure efficiency for Energy Technology Development is highly ranked among 25 OECD countries based on Energy Technology Development R&D Budgets and Energy Technology Development R&D Budgets per thousand units of GDP indicators. However, Korea's ranking has fallen to 20th. The assessment suggests that government will be have to provide more government expenditure to enhance the efficiency on Energy.

The R&D investment of power industry has significant influences on the social welfare as well as national economy. It is necessary to analyze how efficient the R&D investment has been performed. The objective of this study is to verify the efficiency of the R&D investment in the domestic power industry. A formula was introduced to by calculate the appropriate amount of R&D investment of monopolistic industry under the regulations which are determined by the proportion of R&D elasticity and price elasticity. It has resulted that there would be no economy of scale as the sales of electricity increases at the same rate of the increasing cost. The R&D investment in the present electricity industry has been performed inefficiently by showing the negative impact on price-cost margin of the intensity of R&D investment, which is the extent of R&D investment to reinforce economy of scale.

Korean government has been investing more than 400 billion KRW in R&D on renewable energy. This paper aims to measure the R&D efficiency of national R&D program in the field of renewable energy, and to identify the sources of inefficiency. 4,213 R&D projects supported by Korean government during 2009-2011 are analyzed by using Data Envelopment Analysis and statistical tests. Results implies as follows. First, hydrogen, bio, fuel cell, photovoltaic have higher R&D efficiency than other renewable energies. Second, universities conducted national R&D program more efficiently than firms did, and small and medium sized enterprises are more efficient than large sized enterprises. Third, R&D inefficiency is mainly caused by the lacks of patent performance rather than excessive R&D investment or academic paper performance.

Renewable energy refers to solar energy, biomass energy, hydrogen energy, wind power, fuel cell, coal liquefaction and vaporization, marine energy, waste energy, and liquidity fuel made out of byproduct of geothermal heat, hydrogen and coal; it excludes energy based on coal, oil, nuclear energy and natural gas. Developed countries have recognized the importance of these energies and thus have set the mid to long term plans to develop and commercialize the technology and supported them with drastic political and financial measures. Considering the growing recognition to the field, it is necessary to analysis up-to-now achievement of the government's related projects, in the standards of type of renewable energy, management of sectional goals, and its commercialization. Korean government is chiefly following suit the USA and British policies of developing and distributing renewable energy. However, unlike Japan which is in the lead role in solar rays industry, it still lacks in state-directed support, participation of enterprises and social recognition. The research regarding renewable energy has mainly examinedthe state of supply of each technology and suitability of specific region for applying the technology. The evaluation shows that the research has been focused on supply and demand of renewable as well as general energy and solution for the enhancement of supply capacity in certain area. However, in-depth study for commercialization and the increase of capacity in industry followed by development of the technology is still inadequate. 'Cost-benefit model for each energy source' is used in analysis of technology development of renewable energy and quantitative and macro economical effects of its commercialization in order to foresee following expand in related industries and increase in added value. First, Investment on the renewable energy technology development is in direct proportion both to the product and growth, but product shows slightly higher index under the same amount of R&D investment than growth. It indicates that advance in technology greatly influences the final product, the energy growth. Moreover, while R&D investment on renewable energy product as well as the government funds included in the investment have proportionate influence on the renewable energy growth, private investment in the total amount invested has reciprocal influence. This statistic shows that research and development is mainly driven by government funds rather than private investment. Finally, while R&D investment on renewable energy growth affects proportionately, government funds and private investment shows no direct relations, which indicates that the effects of research and development on renewable energy do not affect government funds or private investment. All of the results signify that although it is important to have government policy in technology development and commercialization, private investment and active participation of enterprises are the key to the success in the industry.

This study analyzes the technological level of Korean bioenergy firms and its determinants by using a multiple logistic regression analysis based on a survey. As the result of analysis, the technological level of Korean bioenergy firms has been positively influenced by the firm size, R&D investments and R&D manpower, but negatively influenced by the competition in domestic market and economy of scale. The policy implications of this study are related to achieve the economy of scale and coevolve between demand and supply-firms for the improvement of the technological level of Korean bioenergy firms.

에너지 저장 시스템(ESS, Energy Storage System)은 주파수 조정을 통한 계통 전력품질 개선, 풍력(WT)발전, 태양광(PV)발전등과 같은 신재생 에너지의 출력안정화, 에너지 저장을 통한 에너지효율화 등의 분야에 적용되고 있다. 특히 주파수 조정(F/R, Frequency Regulation)을 위한 에너지 저장 시스템은 한전의 많은 투자를 통해 활발하게 이루어 지고 있으며, 전국 변전소에 설치되고 있다. 주파수 조정을 위한 에너지 저장 시스템은 주파수 상승 시 계통의 전력을 배터리에 충전하고, 주파수 하락 시에는 배터리에 저장된 에너지를 계통에 공급하여 주파수를 안정화 시키는 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 조정용 에너지 저장 시스템의 변전소 적용 사례에 대해 설명한다.
