Korean district heating companies levy comprehensive construction fee on consumers in the beginning of construction period and the consumers' burden is much higher than those in any other network industries in Korea. It has also many problems such as inappropriate fee calculation method, cross subsidization, property right dispute, etc.. I show that the cut of construction fee by 30% and at the same time, the upward adjustment of tariff rates by 4~6% for 20 years on average will maintain current profitability based on the standard model simulation, I also suggest that fixed charge part of double tariff should be increased to 25% of total tariff and the cut of construction fee should be levied on fixed charge, directly to improve efficiency.

This paper presents a numerical model of the optimal operation pattern of the CHP system built for duel-purpose of power generation and district heat production. The model can be differently formulated in accordance with the view of planner: society, electric utility or district-heating company. Here, the operation pattern of the system components and the effect of heat price are of major interest in the study. From the case study, it was found that the optimal use of auxiliary heating equipment is very important to achieve the minimum societal cost. And, the multi-step heat pricing scheme is desirable to induce the voluntary behavior of both companies towards the societal optimal pattern.

현재 에너지 및 자원사업 특별회계(에특회계) 예산에 ESCO자금 지원을 별도로 반영해 지원 방안을 강구할 예정이며 전력산업기반기금을 이용해 발전차액 지원도 검토중에 있습니다. 또 여름철에 한해 소형열병합 발전용 가스요금을 현재의 냉방용 요금 수준으로 인하할 계획이며 현재 9개 지역에 적용되고 있는 열병합용 요금 지역을 확대할 계획입니다.

In respect of global environment protection and efficient utilization of energy, co-generation systems, which have greatly higher efficiency than the other generations, have been developed and put to practical use. Assuming that the co-generation system would be operating in Park Hotel, this paper calculates the difference between the heat and electricity rates by the conventional method and the co-generation system, considers the cost of new investment and analyzes introduction economics based on the return on investment. The introduction is turned out to be recommendable, since the return of investment for co-gen oration equipment is about ten years when the co-generation profits in heat and electricity rate. Additionally, accounting for interest rate drop, improvement of environmental matters or electricity rate increase, it is shown to be even more economical.

This paper is to estimate and analyze the price elasticities of demand for mobile calls. We used the data for the period from January 2000 to December 2005 on a monthly basis. Data used are call minutes to mobile-originating(ML+MM), tariff for dispatch of fixed and mobile calls($P_L,P_M$), income(Y), and subscriber for mobile(N). In order to provide robust estimates of price elasticities, we have used two different econometric models. One is a Dynamic model which includes a lagged dependent variable and so can differentiate between long-un and short-run price elasticities using the Generalized Method of Moments(GMM). The other is a Box-Cox transformation model which is one of the most useful methods. Box-Cox transformation model shows that elasticity changes with the lapse of time. The results are as follow : Not including the price indices for land-originating, the estimate is overestimated otherwise. In Box-Cox transformation case, price elasticity had been steadily declining. And this result shows that mobile services had been changed necessities increasingly in Korea.

기존의 유로도로와 유료터널의 톨게이트에서 정체로 인한 개선방안이 시급히 요구되어 진다. 이에 대해 차량속도를 향상시키며 평균차량 대기시간을 줄이는 새로운 요금정산 방법인 진자자동 요금징수 시스템에 대해 기술하였다. 유로도로를 통과시 차량당 요금정산을 위해 평균대기 시간이 길어짐으로 인해 공해, 유류 낭비 뿐만 아니라 과다한 물류비로 인해 국가적으로 손실이 엄청 크다. 이에 대해 기능이 향상되고 보안성이 뛰어난 Off-Line의 상거래 처리가 가능한, 비접촉식 IC 카드를 대상으로 게이트 리더기와 원격정보 수집장치로 구성으로 설계 및 제작을 하였다. 기존의 방식보다 차량대기속도 및 평균주행속도가 15%에서 40% 가량 개선됨을 확인할 수가 있었다.

Currently, a new energy system is emerging that implements consumption reduction by improving energy efficiency. Accordingly, as smart grids spread, the rate system by timing is expanding. The rate system by timing is a rate system that applies different rates by season/hour to pay according to usage. In this study, external factors such as temperature/day/time/season are considered and the time series prediction model, LSTM, is used to predict energy power usage data. Based on this energy usage prediction model, energy usage charges are reduced by analyzing usage patterns for each device and transferring power energy from the maximum load time to the light load time. In order to analyze the usage pattern for each device, a clustering technique is used to learn and classify the usage pattern of the device by time. In summary, this study predicts usage and usage fees based on the user's power data usage, analyzes usage patterns by device, and provides customized demand transfer services based on analysis, resulting in cost reduction for users.

In respect of global environment protection and efficient utilization of energy, co-generation systems, which have greatly higher efficiency than the other generations, have been developed and put to practical use. Assuming that the co-generation system would be operating in H-Department of Kwang-ju city, this paper calculates the difference between the heat and electricity rates by the conventional method and the co-generation system considers the cost of new investment and analyzes introduction economics based on the return on investment. The introduction is turned out to be recommendable, since the return of investment for co-generation equipment is about five years when the co-generation profits in heat and electricity rate. Additionally, accounting for interest rate drop, improvement of environmental matters or electricity rate increase, it is shown to be even more economical.

소형열병합발전을 성장시킬 수 있는 길을 모색해야 한다는 목소리가 높아지고 있다. 소형열병합발전은 열과 전기를 동시에 생산해 에너지효율을 높이고 동고하저를 보이는 LNG의 수요관리를 위해 정부가 의욕적으로 추진하고 있는 에너지시책 중 하나다. 그러나 연료인 LNG의 요금이 급격하게 증가하는 데 비해 전기요금은 오르지 않아 투자비용 회수가 어렵다는 게 보급이 줄어든 이유다. 이러한 상황에서 에너지관리공단은 '소형열병합발전 중장기보급 활성화 연구'를 통해 사업자체에 대한 새로운 방안을 모색한다는 방침을 발표했다. 불과 5년 전만해도 대표적인 에너지 절약 시스템으로 주목 받았던 소형열병합발전. 현재의 딜레마를 벗어나 중장기 보급 활성화를 위해 필요한 역할과 그 요소는 무엇인지 살펴보았다.
