For a proper valuation of wind power project, it is necessary to consider volatilities of key parameters such as annual energy production, electricity sales price, and long term interest rate. Real option methodology allows to calculate option values of these parameters. Volatilities to be considered in wind project valuation are 1) annual energy production (AEP) estimation due to meteorological variation and estimation errors in wind speed distribution, 2) changes in system marginal price (SMP), and 3) interest rate fluctuation of project financing which provides refinancing option to be exercised during a loan tenor for commercial scale projects. Real option valuation turns out to be more than half of the sales value based on a case study for a FIT scheme wind project that was sold to a financial investor.

본 연구에서는 강원권 및 동남권에 해당하는 동해와 남해일부 해역을 대상으로 파력발전 시스템을 도입함으로서 기대할 수 있는 잠재성을 평가하였다. 연구지역 해역에 750kW급 파력발전기 28대를 설치하는 것을 가정하고, 미국 국립해양대기청(NOAA)의 NWW3(Noaa Wave Watch III) 모델로부터 구축된 평균 유의파고 및 첨두파주기 자료와 스텐포드 대학과 미네소타 대학이 공동 개발한 InVEST 소프트웨어를 이용하여 연간 전력 생산량과 경제적 효과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 연구지역에서의 발전 전력량은 최대 1,207MWh/year, 최소 163MWh/year로 산정되었으며, 연안보다는 육지로부터 먼 해역으로 갈수록 발전 전력량이 점차 증가하는 공간적 분포 패턴을 보였다. 파력발전 시스템의 운영기간을 25년으로 가정하고 시스템 도입을 위해 투입되는 비용과 생산되는 전력의 판매 수익을 함께 고려하여 순현재가치(NPV)를 산정하였다. 그 결과 파력발전 시스템으로부터 생산된 전력을 해저 케이블과 강원권과 동남권 지역의 해안가에 위치한 10개의 발전소들의 설비를 이용하여 내륙으로 공급할 경우에는 NPV가 최대 5,882달러(약 6,600천원), 최소 -63,494달러(약 -71,000천원)인 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 파력발전 시스템으로부터 생산된 전력을 울릉도와 독도의 전력망으로 공급할 경우, 해저 케이블 설치를 위해 투입되는 초기 비용이 크게 줄어들어 울릉도, 독도 인근 해역에서 NPV 값이 최대 28,095달러(약 31,600천원)까지 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 전력 판매단가가 증가할수록 동해상의 NPV의 손익분기선이 육지 쪽으로 가까워지는 것으로 분석되었으며, 울릉도, 독도 인근 해역에서는 전력 판매단가가 현재 수준보다 100원 상승할 경우 NPV 값이 최대 88,158달러(약 99,000 천원)까지 증가하는 것으로 예측되었다.

Building-integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) systems can operate as a multi-functional building components, which generates electricity and serves as part of building envelope. It can be regarded as a new architectural elements, adding to the building's aesthetics. Besides of these benefits, the application of PV systems into school buildings tends to play an important role in energy education to students. In this context, this study aims to analyse the applicability of PV systems into school buildings. For an existing school building, four types of BIPV designs were developed; rooftops, wall-attached, wall-mounted with angle, and sunshading device. Based on energy modeling of those BIPV systems, the whole 60.1kWp rated PV installation is expected to yield about 65.6MWh of electricity, that is about 50% more than the annual electricity consumption of the school, 44MWh. It was also found that the applicability of the PV systems into the school building was very high, and the rooftop systems with the optimized angle was the most efficient in energy production, followed by sunshading, wall-mounted with angle and wall-attached. It concludes that school buildings have a reasonable potential to apply PV systems in the aspects of building elements and electricity production.

In this paper, offshore wind resources within the Japan's EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) are assessed using wind speed data from the microwave scatterometer SeaWinds onboard QuikSCAT. At first, from the 10m-height wind speed from QuikSCAT, 60 m-height wind speed is estimated by using an empirical equation for height correction. Based on the 60 m-height wind speeds, annual energy Production is calculated under an assumption of installing 2 MW wind turbines every $0.64km^2$. The annual energy production is then accumulated for the entire Japan's territorial waters and EEZ ($4.47{\times}10^6km^2$). As a result, it is shown that the total energy Production is estimated to be $4.86{\times}10^4$ TWh/yr. This offshore wind energy Potential within the EEZ is approximately 50 times higher than the actual annual electricity production in Japan.
