Introducing the market into the electricity industry lets the multiple participants get into new competition. These multiple participants of the market need new business strategies for providing value added services to customer. Therefore they need the accurate customer information about the electricity demand. Demand characteristic is the most important one for analyzing customer information. In this study load profile data, which can be collected through the Automatic Meter Reading System, are analyzed for getting demand patterns of customer. The load profile data include electricity demand in 15 minutes interval. An algorithm for clustering similar demand patterns is developed using the load profile data. As results of classification, customers are separated into several groups. And the representative curves for the groups are generated. The number of groups is automatically generated. And it depends on the threshold value for distance to separate groups. The demand characteristics of the groups are discussed. Also, the compositions of demand contracts and standard industrial classification in each group are presented. It is expected that the classified curves will be used for tariff design, load forecasting, load management and so on. Also it will be a good infrastructure for making a value added service related to electricity.

This paper describes the forecast of wholesale price in competitive Korean electricity market using the system dynamics approach. The system dynamics concepts have been implemented with the Ithink software. This software facilitates the development of stock and flow model with information feedback. Using this model, the future wholesale electricity price can be computed hour by hour, quarterly, and yearly. This model also gives the energy planner the opportunity to create different scenarios for the future of deregulated wholesale markets in Korea. Also It will lead to increased understanding of competitive wholesale market as a complex, dynamic system. Research results show that the plant construction appeared in waves of boom and bust in Korean electricity market like real estate construction. That is, the Korea wholesale market's new power plants and the market price will appear the Boom and Bust cycle. It is very similar behavior as real estate industry. In case of consideration of DSM program, The DSM savings lead to a somewhat different timing of the booms in construction and of price spikes. But the DSM programs do not eliminated the fundamental dynamics of the boom and bust. And the wholesale price is maintained at the lower level compared to the case of without DSM program. However, the unexpected result is found that due to the lower market price, Investor make significantly less investment in new CCs, which leads to the higher wholesale price after 2010. It suggests that the DSM Policy must be implemented with the dynamics of competitive Electricity Market.

Interstate electric power system, as an alternative for energy cooperation under regional economic bloc, has been hotly debated before progressing the restructure in electric power industry and rapidly expanded in many regions after 1990s. Especially, since northeast asia has strong supplementation in resource, load shape, fuel mix etc., electric power system interconnection in this region may bring considerable economic benefits. Moreover, since Korean electric power system has a great difficulty in a geographical condition to interrupt electricity transaction with other countries, it has been expanded as an independent system to supply all demand domestically. As a result, Korean electric power system makes considerable payment for maintaining system security and reliability and expands costly facilities to supply a temporary summer peak demand. Under this inefficiency, if there are electricity transactions with Russia via the North Korea route then economic electric power system operation nay be achieved using seasonal and hourly differences in electricity price and/or load pattern among these countries. In this paper, we estimate price cap of transacted electricity via interstate electric power system in northeast asia. For this study, we perform quantitative economic analysis on various system interconnection scenarios.

본 논문은 기술-제도 복합시스템을 활용하여 우리나라의 전력 산업이 현재의 탄소의존 경로에 이르게 된 다양한 원인들을 역사적으로 분석하고, 우리나라 전력산업이 탄소고착에서 벗어나 지속가능한 체제로 전환할 수 있는 가능성에 대해 평가하였다. 분석의 결과 우리나라 전력산업의 탄소고착을 강화시키는 요인들은 시장, 기업, 소비자, 정부측면에 고르게 분포되어 있는 것으로 드러났다. 경제성에 근거한 대규모 발전설비를 선호하는 정부정책과 저렴한 전기요금제도, 요금 인상을 엄격히 억제하는 물가관리 시스템, 여름철과 겨울철 전력수요 급증, 탄력적인 요금제도의 부재, 유연탄과 천연가스 설비의 확대 등이 그것이다. 반면 원자력발전과 스마트 그리드를 제외하면, 탄소고착을 완화시키는 요인들은 주로 환경관련 법률이나 신재생관련 법률이다. 전력산업의 탄소배출이 전원구성에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받고, 우리 경제가 제조업 기반의 수출 위주이며, 산업과 상업부문의 전력소비가 총 85% 이상이라는 점 등을 고려할 때, 우리나라 전력산업이 이른 시일 내에 탄소고착에서 벗어날 수 있을 가능성은 그리 높아 보이지 않는다. 따라서 우리나라 전력산업이 탄소고착을 탈피하기 위해서는 시장, 기업, 소비자, 정부 차원에서 복합적인 개선 노력이 필요하다. 우선, 시장측면에서는 주요국처럼 독점을 완화하여 적극적인 신재생에너지 확대와 소비자 선택권을 보장하는 조치가 필요하다. 기업측면에서는 적극적인 수요관리와 신재생을 포함하는 분산전원의 확대가 시급한 과제이다. 소비자측면에서는 탄소고착 완화를 위한 다양한 요금제 도입과 소비자의 의식전환 노력 등이 필요하다. 마지막으로, 정부에서는 수급계획 수립 시 중요하게 고려되지 못했던 다양한 외부 비용들, 예를 들어 환경비용, 사회적 갈등비용 등을 포함하는 제도 개선이 시급히 필요하다.

At present the electric power industry in Korea is going through a major restructuring process. The restructuring is motivated by a desire to reduce electricity supply costs, to attract new in-vestment in modern generation, transmission and distribution facilities, and to stimulate innovation in the wholesale production and the retail supply of electricity. The experience to date shows that restructuring of electric power industry in the US, however, is marred with a number of problematic market performances including unreasonably high prices at wholesale. This paper investigates the important role of Power Exchange for stabilizing electric power industry in transition by offering various financial products. These financial products are used for risk hedging by the market participants. The paper focuses on the risk hedging by an individual supplier and derives an explicit decision rule that incorporates the attitude towards the risks. In addition to providing the financial products for risk hedging by market participants, the Power Exchange plays another very important role of financial safeguard system. Because of its unique characteristics, the Power Exchange is well suited for financial surveillance where it performs the early detection of unsound financial (and to a large extent operational) practices on the part of any system users and protect the system integrity and the market participants from the consequences of a default in the clearing structure.

The power plant companies reached the culmination for growth in the domestic market. Besides, we have faced many challenges such as an electricity opening market trend for overseas, banning the use of coal due to the United nations framework convention on climate change, and the meticulous attention regarding the government's electricity charge plan. On the other hand, the overseas business has been a critical issue since China and many other developing countries expanded their projects abroad. Another factor is that power plant industry is being privatized, and it made the market regulation a bit loose. Thus, the market environment became favorable toward those companies which planned many overseas businesses. In this research, the power plant company's current condition for construction and operation as well as its technical competitiveness were analyzed, and an alternative plan using SWOT analysis for entering an oversea market was made. It dealt with both internal and external factors. Also, examined was the current situation under the power plant industry dealing with restructure for electric industry, lack of fossil fuel, and the United nations framework convention on climate change. From the research, it was suggested that many successful strategies to enter the overseas business by using the market trend I researched.

In many parts of the world. the electricity industry is undergoing unprecedented changes. Hence, in order to reform the electricity industry readily and efficiently and minimize the confusion by these restructuring, it is required the systematic studies related to transmission pricing and transmission cost allocation issues. However, even now the basis of transmission cost allocation rate is not equipped so that the regulation body has determined the allocating rate under the common practice. In this paper it is demonstrated that the decision of transmission cost allocation rate is the regulation body's own right. For the analysis, game theory is applied to the procedure determining this rate and the competition to determine this rate between generators and distributors is modeled as the arbitration game.

A smart grid is a next-generation power grid that can improve energy efficiency by applying information and communication technology to the general power grid. The smart grid makes it possible to exchange information about electricity production and consumption between electricity providers and consumers in real-time. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is the core technology of the smart grid. The AMI provides two-way communication by installing a modem in an existing digital meter and typically include smart meters, data collection units, and meter data management systems. Because the AMI requires data collection units to control multiple smart meters, it is essential to ensure network availability under heavy network loads. If the load on the work done by the data collection unit is high, it is necessary to allocation new data collection units to ensure availability and improve energy efficiency. In this paper, we discuss the allocation scheme of data collection units for the energy efficiency of the AMI.
