Environmental pollution caused by power plant exhaust gas is highlighted and eco-friendly regulations are being strengthened. However, due to the abundant reserves and low prices of coal, still the most used for power generation in the world. Therefore, flexible operation of coal-fired power plants to reduce emissions has become an inevitable option. However, lowering the output increases the possibility of acid dew point corrosion as the exhaust gas temperature decreases. The dew point corrosion occurs when condensable gases such as SO₃, HCl, NO₂ and H₂O cools below the saturation temperature. SO₃ is already well known to cause severe low- temperature corrosion in coal-fired power plants. Therefore, this study aims to prevent damage that may occur during operation by analyzing the dew point and corrosion resistance with exhaust gas temperature and sulfuric acid concentration of the power plant economizer tube.

Coal gasification is considered as one of the most prospective technologies in energy field since it can be utilized for various products such as electricity, SNG (Synthetic Natural Gas or Substitute Natural Gas) and other chemical products. Among those products from coal gasification, SNG is emerging as a very lucrative product due to the rising prices of oil and natural gas, especially in Asian countries. The process of SNG production is very similar to the conventional IGCC in that the overall process is highly dependent on the type of gasifier and coal rank. However, there are some differences between SNG production and IGCC, which is that SNG plant requires higher oxygen purity from oxygen plant and more complex gas cleanup processes including water-gas shift reaction and methanation. Water-gas shift reaction is one of the main process in SNG plant because it is a starting point for the latter gas cleanup processes. For the methanation process, syngas is required to have a composition of $H_2$/CO = 3. This study reviewed various considerations for water-gas shift process in a conceptual design on an early stage like a feasibility study for a real project. The factors that affect the design parameters of water-gas shift reaction include the coal properties, the type of gasifier, the overall thermal efficiency of the plant and so on. Water-gas shift reaction is a relatively proven technology compared to the other processes in SNG plant so that it can reduce technological variability when designing a SNG project.

본 연구는 벡터오차수정모형을 이용하여 유럽 탄소배출권 현물가격의 일간 시계열자료를 분석한다. 내생변수로는 탄소배출권가격 이외에 오일가격, 천연가스가격, 전력가격, 석탄가격 등 모두 5개 변수를 고려하며, 분석기간은 유럽 배출권가격의 왜곡이 발생한 제1단계 기간 (2005~2007년)을 피해 제2단계 기간 (2008년 4월 21일~2010년 3월 31일)을 대상으로 하였다. 시계열변수의 안정성 및 공적분 검정 결과, 모든 변수들이 단위근을 갖으며 또한 공적분 벡터가 존재하는 것으로 나타나서 분석모형으로서 벡터자기회귀모형 대신에 벡터오차수정모형을 채택하였다. 분석결과, (1) 오일, 천연가스, 전력 등의 가격이 배출권가격에 대해 원인으로 작용하는 그랜저인과관계가 존재하였다. (2) 충격 반응분석에서 배출권가격은 오일가격의 외생적 충격에 대해 가장 크게 반응하였고, 석탄가격의 충격에 대해서는 초기 상승 후 하락, 전력가격과 천연가스가격의 충격에 대해서는 초기 상승 후 음 (-)으로 감소하는 반응을 보였다. (3) 예측오차 분산분해 분석에서 배출권가격에 대해 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인은 초기 (3기)에는 오일가격>석탄가격>천연가스가격>전력가격의 순이었으나 이후 (20기)에는 전력가격>오일가격>석탄가격>천연가스가격의 순으로 나타났다.

Although South Korea experienced a rolling blackout in 2011, the possibility of a blackout in South Korea continues to increase due to rapid electrification. This study examines the problems of energy taxation and price distortions as possible reasons for the rapid electrification in South Korea, which is occurring at a faster rate than in Japan, Europe, and other developed countries. Further, we suggest new energy taxation and price systems designed to normalize electricity prices. In order to do so, we consider two possible scenarios: the first imposes a tax on bituminous coal for electricity generation and the second levies a tax to provide compensation for the potential damages from a nuclear accident. Based on these scenarios, we analyze the effects of a new energy system on electricity price and demand. The results show that a new energy system could guarantee the power generation costs and balance the relative prices between energy sources, and could also help prevent rapid electrification. Therefore, the suggested new energy system is expected to be utilized as a basis for energy policy to decrease the speed of electrification, thus preventing a blackout, and to induce the rational consumption of energy in South Korea.

Coal seam gas (CSG) water, to be discharged, has been usually treated in reverse osmosis (RO) plants which require extensive and expensive pre-treatment. However, current low gas prices have been a great driver for relevant industries to seek for alternative cost-effective technologies in the aspect of its beneficial use and fit-for-purpose usable water production. In this paper, a combined system with a two-stage pore control fiber (PCF) filtration and a RO system was designed and tested for CSG water treatment. Also, a coagulation reactor was placed in front of the PCF to further enhance suspended solid removal. More than 99% of SS were removed through the PCF filtration while organic, total nitrogen and total phosphorous were mostly removed by the RO system. Especially along with a decrease in conductivity, the total dissolved solid derived from salts was mainly removed in the RO system. Having $OH^-$ undetected, $HCO_3{^-}$ was found to be a dominant compound and its removal efficiency was 97-98% after the RO treatment. And a Fe(III) type of Polytetsu, which was the first to be tested in this paper, was found to be a better option than a Al(III) type of Poly Aluminium Chloride due to its greater coagulation efficiency and applicability at a broader range of pH than the Al(III) type. In addition, there was no noticeable change in oxidation reduction potential, suggesting that an additional process is required to oxidize non-ionic organic carbons (detected as total organic carbon).

The application of renewable energy in electric power systems is growing rapidly in order to make provision for the inequality of the climate, the dwindling supplies of coal, oil and natural gas and a further rise in oil prices. Solar cell generators(SCG) is one of the fastest growing renewable energy. This paper presents a methodology on probabilistic production cost simulation of a power system including SCGs. The generated power by SCGs is variable due to the random variation of solar radiation. In order to solve this problem, the SCGs is modeled as multi-state operational model in this paper. Probabilistic production cost of a power system can be calculated by proposed method considering SCGs with multi-state. The results show that the impacts of SCGs added to a power system can be analyzed in view point of production cost using the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is an economic analysis of power plant utilities by comparing electricity generating cost including environmental costs. Considering the enormous role of electricity in the national economy, it is very important to study the effect of environmental regulation on the electricity sector. Because power utilities need for large investment during construction, operation and maintenance, and also require much construction lead time. Economic analysis is the important process in the electric system expansion planning. This paper compares the costs of electricity generation including environmental costs between a coal-fired power plant and an LNG combined cycle power plants. With the simulation, this study surveys the sensitivity of fuel prices, interest rate and carbon tax. In each case, this sensitivity can help to decide which utility is economically better in environmental regulation circumstance.

본 논문은 2014년 7월과 2015년 7월부터 시행된 발전용 유연탄 과세와 LNG 세율 변경을 중심으로 세제 개편의 시나리오들을 설정하여 2029년까지의 SMP, 정산단가, 조세수입에 대한 영향을 추정하고, 시나리오 1(기준시나리오)의 값들과 비교하였다. 추정에서는 우리나라의 전력계통과 전력시장 운용방식에 특화한 모형과 전력수급기본계획 등의 정부 계획자료를 이용하여 전력계통 모의 실험을 실시하였다. 발전용 유연탄에 과세하고 조세중립성을 확보하기 위해 LNG에 대해서도 과세하는 경우에 단기에 SMP는 시나리오 1의 경우에 비해서 낮아진다. 원자력발전의 경우는 과세를 하여도 발전비용이 다른 발전원의 발전비용보다 작고, 원자력발전이 SMP를 결정하는 시간대가 거의 없기 때문에 과세가 SMP에 미치는 영향은 거의 없다. 따라서 SMP와 정산단가의 동조화관계가 성립한다면, 단기에 발전용 유연탄에 대한 과세로 에너지소비의 전력화현상을 둔화시키기는 어렵다. 그러나 중 장기에는 석탄발전설비가 충분히 확보되면 발전용 유연탄에 대한 과세는 SMP를 상승시키므로 세제 개편의 형태가 단기에 발전용 유연탄에만 과세하고 신규 유연탄 발전설비가 충분히 도입된 이후에 LNG에 대한 세율을 조정하면 에너지세제 개편으로 전기요금을 인상시켜서 전력수요를 감소시키려는 목적은 달성할 수 있을 것이다. 중 장기에는 발전설비의 확충으로 LNG복합발전기의 이용률이 낮아지므로 LNG에 대한 세율이 정산단가에 영향을 미치지 못한다. 원자력발전에 대한 과세는 SMP에 대한 영향과는 달리 정산조정계수의 영향으로 정산단가를 상승시켰다. 중 장기에 에너지세제가 갖는 순효과는 전력공급력의 확대에 따른 정산단가 하락이 에너지세제 부과에 따른 정산단가 상승을 상쇄시키는 정도에 따라서 달라질 것이다. 과세대상 중에서 원자력발전의 경우에 과세하는 경우에 추가적으로 발생하는 조세수입이 가장 컸다. 에너지세제의 형태와 조세수입의 관계를 보면 발전용 유연탄에 대한 세율이 높을수록, 그리고 원자력발전에 신규로 조세를 부과할수록 조세수입은 커진다.

본 논문은 한국(韓國)의 장기목재수요함수(長期木材需要函數)를 추정(推定)하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 1970년부터 1990년까지 21년간의 시계열자료(時系列資料)가 분석자료로서 이용되었으며, 수요전망은 2030년까지의 예측치를 제시하였다. 특히 본 연구는 침엽수와 활엽수를 구분하여 용도별로 수요함수를 추정하였으며, 더미변수(變數)의 확정방법(確定方法)에 관하여도 자세한 검토가 이루어졌다는 데 그 특징이 있다. 분석결과(分析結果)를 살펴보면 현재 활엽수에 대한 침엽수의 대체효과가 빠른 속도로 진행되고 있는데. 이러한 경향은 앞으로도 지속될 것인 바, 주로 건축 토목 등에 소요되는 일반 용재를 중심으로 나타날 것으로 예상된다. 수종을 불문하고 대부분의 용도가 증가할 것으로 예상되는 반면, 갱목용재의 경우는 오히려 감소할 것으로 예상된다. 수종별 용도별 목재수요함수(木材需要函數)에 대한 파라메타 추정결과(推定結果)를 보면 GDP에 대한 수요탄력성이 다른 설명변수의 탄력성보다도 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 인구 및 대체재의 영향은 뚜렷하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
