The purpose of this study is to derive COE reduction targets of offshore wind power in Korea. In addition, innovation factors for achieving the COE reduction targets were derived. Also the COE reduction targets of offshore wind power was to improve that national policy, technology, industry and improving regulations would like to help. The results of this study has been created based on the various assumptions, scenarios and experts' discussions. Currently, offshore wind power generation price is 229.72won/kWh in 2012. According to the study, COE of offshore wind power has been proposed 88.8won/kWh at third scenario by 2030. This result has shown competitiveness with fossil fuel power generation.

풍력개발 기술이 발전함에 따라 풍력발전시스템이 점차 대용량화되는 추세이며, 경제성 있는 풍력단지 건설을 위해 점차 대단지화 되어가고 있는 실정이다. 이로 인해 풍력 발전단가(Cost of electricity, COE)도 개선되고 있다. 풍황이 양호한 풍력발전단지의 경우, 풍력발전 COE는 현재 50~60원/kWh 수준으로 타 신재생에너지원에 비해 경쟁력이 높고, 석탄 화력의 COE와 비교해 봐도 동등한 수준 혹은 더욱 경쟁력 있는 수준으로 감소하였다. 풍력발전단지 조성을 위해서는 시스템의 효율과 고효율, 저비용의 풍력발전시스템을 풍황이 좋은 지역에 설치할 때 낮은 COE를 가지는 경제성 있는 발전단지가 가능하다. 동급 용량 풍력발전시스템을 같은 지역에서 설치하여 에너지생산량을 증대시키기 위해서는 블레이드 지름의 증가시켜 유량을 증가시키거나 타워의 높이를 증가시켜 풍속을 증가시키는 방안이 있다. 이 경우 블레이드 길이와 타워 높이 증가에 의한 시스템 비용의 증가가 발생하는데, 에너지생산량 증가에 의한 수익비용과 시스템 비용 증가에 의한 자본비용은 서로 반비례로 영향을 미친다. 이를 위해 최소의 COE의 최대의 순현재가치(Net Present Value, NPV)를 갖는 목적함수로 두고 블레이드의 최적 길이와 타워의 최적 높이를 선정하였다.

본 연구에서는 상용모사기를 이용하여 100 MWth 매체순환연소(CLC) 복합발전 플랜트의 성능 및 경제성 평가를 수행하였다. 원료로는 천연가스와 합성가스를 고려하였으며 원료에 따른 성능 및 발전단가를 비교, 분석하였다. 천연가스와 합성가스를 사용하는 경우 모두 발전 효율은 53~54% 수준으로 평가되었으며 이는 기존 연구와 부합하는 결과임을 확인하였다. 경제성 분석을 위해서 Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index와 Guthrie 방법을 사용하여 장치비를 산정하였으며 합성가스의 저위발열량이 천연가스보다 낮기 때문에 장치비가 다소 높은 것을 확인하였다. 연료의 종류에 따른 발전단가 계산 결과 합성가스의 가격이 5.3 $/GJ 정도 되는 경우에 천연가스를 이용하는 경우의 발전단가인 5.8 ¢/kWh보다 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the optimal network configuration for electric stations using HOMER software. For the given data such as annual average wind speed and grid costs, this software calculates the NPC(Net Present Cost), operating cost and COE(Cost of Energy). Based on these simulation results, it is possible to find the optimal network configuration for electric stations depending on the grid cost and average wind speed. When the rising grid cost is considered, it is essential to use grid and renewable energy together. Depending on the increase of the grid cost, NPC of the configuration using renewable energy and grid can be gradually getting smaller than NPC of the configuration using only grid.

This paper presents the optimal energy generation systems for economical EVs(Electric Vehicles) charging stations located in an island area. The system includes grid electricity, diesel generator and renewable energy sources of wind turbines and PV(Photovoltaic) panels. The independent generation system is designed with data resources such as annual average wind speed, solar radiation and the grid electricity price by calculating system cost under different structures. This sensitive analysis on the varying data resources allows for the configuration of the most economical generation system for charging stations by comparing initial capital, operating cost, NPC(Net Present Cost) and COE(Cost of Energy). Depending on the increase of the grid cost, the NPC variation of the most economical system which includes renewable energy generations and grid electricity can be smaller than those of other generation systems.

The wind energy is one of the most prospective resources in renewable energy. However, the WTGS shouldn't be installed indiscriminately because the power system can be negatively influenced by a variable and uncertain nature of the wind energy. It is the reason why it has to be limited to install the WTGS thoughtlessly mentioned above that support the importance of the maximum penetration limit of wind power. It may required that power system operators suggests a new way of power system operation as percentage of the WTGS increase in the existing power system. The wind power is fixed in a limited area, so using rate of the wind power will be increased by installing additional WTGS. In this paper, we have studied on economic evaluation of the wind capacity increased by restricting the output of the WTGS as the way to increase the wind capacity.

This paper introduces the design concepts and characteristics of WinDS3000$^{TM}$ which is a trade mark of Doosan's 3MW offshore/onshore wind turbine. WinDS3000$^{TM}$ has been designed in consideration of high RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Serviceability) and cost effectiveness for the TC Ia condition in GL guideline. An integrated drive train design with an innovative three-stage gearbox has been introduced to minimize nacelle weight of the wind turbine and to enhance a high reliability for transmission. A permanent magnet generator with full converter system has been introduced to get higher efficiency in part load operation, and grid friendliness use of 50 Hz and 60 Hz grid. A pitch regulated variable speed power control with individual pitch system has been introduced to regulate rotor torque while generator reaction torque can be adjusted almost instantaneously by the associated power electronics. An individual pitch control system has been introduced to reduce fatigue loads of blade and system. The wind turbine has been also equipped with condition monitoring and diagnostic systems in order to meet maintainability requirements. And internal maintenance crane in nacelle has been developed. As a result, the maintenance cost was dramatically reduced and maintenance convenience also enhanced in offshore condition.
