Korea is implementing strong regulatory derives such as Feed in Tariff to provide incentives for renewable energy developers. But if the government is planning to increase the renewable capacity with only "Price policy" not considering the investors behavior in the competitive electricity market, the policy would be failed. It is necessary system thinking and simulation model analysis to decide government's incentive goal. This study is focusing on the assesment of the competitiveness of renewable energy with the current Feed in Tariff incentives compared to the traditional energy source, specially coal and gas. The simulation results show that the market penetration of renewable energy with the current Feed-in-Tariff level is about 60-70% of the government goal under condition that the solar energy and fuel cell are assumed to provide the whole capacity set in the governmental goal. If the contribution from solar and fuel cell is lower than planned, the total penetration of renewable energy will be dropped more. Notably, Wind power turned out to be proved only 10% of government goal because of its low availability.

This study analyzed competition in peak load plants between CCGT and GT instead of competition between base and peak load plants like in previous studies. In common overseas power markets, CCGT and GT claim certain market shares as peak load plants with the latter boasting a high utilization rate as reserve plants. In South Korea, however, there has been no introduction of GT in the market that opened in 2001 with no analysis cases of GT's economy as a peak load plant. The current power market of South Korea is run on the cost-based pool, which allows for no price spikes. Since the capacity payment criteria for compensations for missing money are set based on GT generators, the power market uses GT generators as marginal plants. The purposes of this study were to analyze the competitive edge of GT generators as peak load plants in the domestic power market of South Korea and identify the causes of GT's failure in market entry, thus assessing the adequacy of market signals in the domestic power market.

As deregulation of power industry is becoming a reality, there has been an intense interest in the strategic bidding for suppliers to maximize their profits. The profit gained by a supplier is related not only to its energy-price bid curve but also to its submitted operational parameters such as generation capacity, etc. So suppliers are willing to use those strategic parameters that can be manipulated by themselves and are effective to their profit. This paper deals with the competition model with compound strategies: generation capacity and bidding curve. The parameter space is modeled by dividing into the two strategies, so the problem is made up of the four types of sub-game in a two player game. This paper analyzes the global Nash Equilibrium (NE) over the whole divisions by computing the sub-game NEs in some divisions and by deriving the best response curves which have discontinuities in other divisions. The global NE is shown to correspond to the Cournot NE where the quantity variable is realized by a constraints of a generation capacity.

With the advent of electric power systems moving from a vertically integrated structure to a deregulated environment, calculating reactive power service charges has become a new and challenging theme for market operators. This paper examines various methods for reactive power management adopted throughout various deregulated foreign and domestic markets and then proposes an innovative method to calculate reactive power service charges using a reactive power market in a wholesale electricity market. The reactive power market is operated based on bids from the generating sources and it settles on uniform prices by running the reactive OPF programs of the day-ahead electricity market. The proposed method takes into account recovering not only the costs of installed capacity but also the lost opportunity costs incurred by reducing active power output to increase reactive power production. Based on the result of the reactive OPF program, the generators that produce reactive power within the obligatory range do not make payments whereas the generators producing reactive power beyond the obligatory range receive compensation by the price determined in the market. A numerical sample study is carried out to illustrate the processes and appropriateness of the proposed method.

The renewable energy system and the real-time pricing can provide the significant economic advantage for end-user of residential house. However, according to recent studies, high initial cost of renewable energy system such as photovoltaic (PV) system and lack of suitable load control methods adjusting electric power consumption in response to time-varying price are regarded as the major obstruction for introduction of renewable energy system and real-time pricing in residental household. In this paper, we propose automated optimal load control strategy which aim to achieve not only minimizing the electricity cost but also the increase in the utilization rates of PV generation power of residential PV house in real-time pricing environment. Simulation results show that our proposed optimal load control strategy leads to significant reduction in the electricity costs and increase in the utilization rates of power generated by PV system in comparison with the conventional PV house. Therefore, the proposed optimal load control strategy can provide more economic benefit to end-user.

Innumerable microgrids would be operated independently by individual operators in a future smart grid. This kind of decentralized power system requires entirely different operation scheme in the actual power system and electricity market operation. Especially, frequency regulation is very important for successive energy trade in this multi-microgrid circumstance. This paper presents an optimal energy and reserve market participation strategy and operation strategy of energy storage system (ESS) by a microgrid operator (MGO). For definite evaluation of the proposed strategy, we postulate that the MGO should participate in the Power Exchange for Frequency Control (PXFC) market, which was devised by Maria Ilic and her coworkers and is suitable to the decentralized operation circumstances. In particular, optimal reserve capacity of the frequency control market and optimal market participation ratio of ESS between frequency control market and energy market are derived theoretically and evaluated by simulations utilizing Nordic Pool Elspot price data.

경쟁적 전력시장에서, 송전혼잡은 지역적 시장지배력의 핵심 요인들 중 하나이다. 재무적 송전권을 구매한 시장 참여자는 그들이 지불한 혼잡 세를 돌려받음으로써 재무적 보호를 받을 수 있다. 하지만 많은 연구에서, 이러한 송전권이 오히려 시장지배력을 강화시킴을 보였다. 따라서 본 논문은 새로운 개념의 송전권인 Contingent Transmission Rights을 이용해 지역적 시장지배력을 완화시키는 것이 목적이다. 본 논문은 각 모선의 한계가격 (Locational Marginal Pricing LMP)을 기반으로 한 모선별 가격제도(Nodal Pricing)와 최적조류계산(Optimal Power Flow)를 이용해 사례연구를 수행하였다.

The necessity of energy utilization using livestock manure has been proposed with the decrease in domestic agricultural land. Livestock manure solid fuel has been investigated as a promising energy resource owing to its convenient storage and use in agricultural and livestock fields. Additional electricity production is possible through the integration of a biomass combustion boiler with the organic Rankine cycle (ORC). In this study, a mathematical system model of the cattle manure solid fuel boiler integrated with the ORC was developed to analyze the components' performance under variable operating conditions. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to confirm the electrical efficiency of the ORC turbine and the applicability of this system. The minimum required waste heat recovery rate was derived considering the system marginal price and levelized cost of electricity of the ORC. The simulation results showed that, in Korea, more than 77.98% of waste heat recovery and utilization in ORC turbines is required to achieve economic feasibility through ORC application.

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.

세계 각지에서 전력망 연계를 통한 전력부문의 협력과 전력시장의 통합이 추진되어 가시적인 성과를 거두고 있다. 동북아 지역은 상당한 경제적 편익이 기대됨에도 불구하고 역내 국가들의 다양한 이해관계와 현실적 제약요인 등으로 인해 전력협력의 성과가 제대로 나타나지 않고 있다. 미국 에너지부 산하의 아르곤연구소(Argonne National Laboratory)에서 개발한 발전 및 송전을 모의하는 프로그램인 GTMax를 통하여 러시아로부터 값 싼 전력이 국내에 수입되는 경우를 분석하였다. 러시아로부터의 수전량이 2,000MW(2017년의 국내 설비용량은 약 90,000MW 이상으로 2,000MW는 2%에 해당)일 경우 절대량이 미미하여 국내 전력시장에 미치는 영향이 거의 없다. 전력망 연계에 의해 큰 폭의 비용 절감을 도모하기 위해서는 수전량이 전체의 10% 수준이 될 정도로 커질 필요가 있음을 보여주고 있다. 또한 경인지역으로 직접 연계되는 것이 비용절감을 크게 하며, 영동지역과 연계되는 경우 영동-경인 간 선로용량의 증설이 불가능하다면 수전전력은 중부지역의 발전량을 대체하게 되어 수전의 상대적 이득이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
