Now Korea depends upon the imported resources for about 97% of total using energy. So from October, 2001 Korean government has supported renewable energy business owners by providing them with Electric Power Industry Basis Fund. Only plant-use electricity of the small hydro power plant is exactly managed, but other renewable energy plants is unprepared or not yet managed. Therefore, in this paper, we'll analyze the plant-use electricity management of the small hydro power and propose improvement plans for plant-use electricity of the photovoltaic power plant.

We studied the warming effect induced by Photovoltaic(PV) power plants in rural areas during summer daytime using a simple analytical urban meteorological model. This analysis was based on observed meteorological elements and the capacity of the PV power plant was 10 MWp. The major axis length of the PV power plant was assumed to be 1km. Data of the necessary meteorological elements were obtained from a special meteorological observation campaign established for a over a PV power plant. We assumed that the wind flowed along the major axis of the PV power plant(1 km). As a result, the air temperature on the downwind side of the PV power plant was estimated to invrease by about $0.47^{\circ}C$.

화석연료를 에너지원으로 사용하는 발전소 등에서 배출되는 온배수는 주변 해양생태계에 열 오염원으로 작용할 수 있으며, 배가스중 $CO_2$는 지구온난화 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 특히 $CO_2$를분리, 처리하기 위한 연구가 여러 나라에서 많이 진행중이지만, 현재의 $CO_2$ 분리 기술은 고에너지를 필요로 하고, 분리후 새로운 고정화 공정을 거쳐야 하는 등 1차적 처리공정이라 할 수 있다. 이런 물리화학적 분리 기술외에 지구전체 광합성의 90%를 담당하는 해양 미세조류를 이용할 경우 태양광을 이용, 환경 친화적으로 $CO_2$를 고정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

송전망에 장거리 지중선로로 재생 발전원이 연계되는 경우, 지중선로의 커패시턴스 성분으로 인한 계통으로 무효전력 주입이 발생하여 전압상승을 야기시킬 수 있다. 또한 재생 발전원의 발전량 조절의 어려움은 경부하시 전력 생산과 소비의 불균형을 발생시킬 수 있으며 계통의 전압상승을 심화시킬 수 있다. 계통의 전압상승은 계통의 신뢰도를 저하시키고 계통운영에 어려움을 수반한다. 이러한 전압상승은 무효전력보상을 통해 완화가 가능하다. 인버터 기반의 재생 발전원은 무효전력제어 제어 정밀도가 높고 빠르게 제어가 가능하여 계통의 전압상승 완화에 좋은 솔루션이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 송전망 계통에서의 전압상승 완화를 위한 재생 발전원의 무효전력제어기술을 설명한다. 재생 발전원의 무효전력지원에 따른 전압상승 완화 효과를 평가하기 위해 Matlab을 활용하여 송전망 전압상승 및 재생 발전원의 무효전력지원을 모의하였다. 계통 모델에는 영광의 태양광 및 풍력 발전소와 주변 계통의 파라메터를 적용하여 구현하였다.

In this study, The Virtual Power Plant (VPP) solution platform considered in this study minimizes the cost and investment risk associated with the construction of power generation and transmission facilities. In addition, it includes a Demand Response (DR) program operation function to meet consumers' electricity demand. With the introduction of VPP, it is possible to provide more eco-friendly and efficient power by responding to changes in consumer load in real time through existing generators and DR programs without large-scale facility investment in power generation and transmission/distribution sectors. In order to link the communication device to the solar power and ESS linkage device, it is necessary to transmit data in the control/state between the device device and the edge system and develop an IoT device and interworking platform (OneM2M).

To respond to the threat of global warming, countries around the world are promoting the spread of renewable energy and reduction of carbon emissions. In accordance with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal to combat climate change and its impacts, global automakers are pushing for a full transition to electric vehicles within the next 10 years. Electric vehicles can be a useful means for reducing carbon emissions, but in order to reduce carbon generated in the stage of producing electricity for charging, a power generation system using eco-friendly renewable energy is required. In this study, we propose a smart electric mobility operating system integrated with off-grid solar power plants established in Tanzania, Africa. By applying smart monitoring and communication functions based on Arduino-based computing devices, information such as remaining battery capacity, battery status, location, speed, altitude, and road conditions of an electric vehicle or electric motorcycle is monitored. In addition, we present a scenario that communicates with the surrounding independent solar power plant infrastructure to predict the drivable distance and optimize the charging schedule and route to the destination. The feasibility of the proposed system was verified through test runs of electric motorcycles. In considering local environmental characteristics in Tanzania for the operation of the electric mobility system, factors such as eco-friendliness, economic feasibility, ease of operation, and compatibility should be weighed. The smart electric mobility operating system proposed in this study can be an important basis for implementing the SDGs' climate change response.

ESS(Energy Storage System) is an important source that keeps power supply stable and utilizes electricity efficiently. For example, ESS contributes to resolve power supply imbalance, stabilize new renewable energy output and regulate frequency. ESS is predicted to be expanded to 55.9GWh of installed capacity by 2023, which is 30 times more than that of 2014. To raise competitiveness of domestic ESS industry in this increasing world market, we have disseminated load-shift ESS for continuous power supply imbalance with FR ESS, and also necessity to secure domestic track record is required. However in case of FR ESS, utility of installing thermal power plant is generally generated within 5% range of rated capacity, so that scalability of domestic market is low without dramatic increase of thermal power plant. Necessity of load-shift ESS dissemination is also decreasing effected by surplus backup power securement policy, raising demand for new dissemination model. New dissemination model is promising for $CO_2$ reduction effect in spite of intermittent output. By stabilizing new renewable energy output in connection with new renewable energy, and regulating system input timing of new renewable energy generation rate, it is prospected model for 'post-2020' regime and energy industry. This research presents a policy alternatives of REC multiplier calculation method to induce investment after outlining PV-connected ESS charge/discharge mode to reduce GHG emission, This alternative is projected to utilize GHG emission reduction methodology for 'Post-2020' regime, big issue of new energy policy.

This study analyzed the public preference and acceptance regarding renewable energy projects through Choice Based Conjoint Analysis. The results show that the surveyed respondents consider the leading authority of the projects, as the most important factor when considering participating in renewable energy initiatives. Following this, the mode of participation and profit distribution and the power plant location are also viewed as important, whereas participation through decision making regarding the projects was less important. Also when participating in renewable energy projects, respondents tend to prefer to financially participating through loans or owning shares rather than volunteering support for the business such as sharing information, stating one's views, or providing cooperation and coordination. Therefore, the focus is on distributional justice, such as financial investment and profit distribution, rather than procedural justice, for instance decision making. When analyzing the part-worths utilities for the participation attribute, the respondents most preferred to receiving dividends based on earnings by owning shares with the local government in charge of the entire projects. As a consequence, the results suggest that it is important to have local government get involved and have trust-worthy governing systems in place for the initiation of the public participating-renewable energy projects.

Use of the PV(photovoltaic) generation system is increased in such areas as remote mountain places or islands at which electrical energy is not serviced. The stand alone PV system is required the power storage products such as battery, fly wheel and super capacitor. Several lead storage batteries are connected in series to get high voltages. The life of lead storage battery is shortened when over charge or over discharge takes place. So, it is needed to control batteries not to be overcharged or be discharged deeply. Voltage of each battery was ignored in former control methods in which overall voltage was used to control charge or discharge battery. In this study, the charging and discharging voltage variations of sealed lead storage batteries with l2V/l.2A were investigated step by step experiments. The results of the test show that one should consider and specify the state of each battery to prevent overcharge or deep discharge. With the basis of the experiments, we designed a monitoring unit to monitor battery voltages simultaneously using micro-controller. The unit measures voltage of 20 batteries simultaneously and displays data on the color LCD monitor with curved line graph. It also sends data to PC using the RS232C communication port. The designed unit was adapted to stand alone PV system with 1kW capacity and lead storage batteries are connected to the PV generation system. The number of lead storage batteries was 10 in series and 12V/250Ah each. Resistive load with 3kW was used for discharging.
