The need for floating photovoltaic is being emphasized to expand renewable energy but low residents' acceptance is a major obstacle to the deployment of floating photovoltaic. Using the discrete choice experiment, this study analyzed the preferences for community-based floating photovoltaic projects and proposed a method to increase the residents' acceptance of floating photovoltaic projects. The estimates of the marginal willingness to accept (MWTA) of the distance, the coverage ratio, the landscape, the project owner (public institution), and the project owner (large company) are -0.69%p/km, 0.13%p/%p, -0.57%p, -2.95%p, -1.73%p, respectively. According to the result of simulation analysis, the residents' acceptance is significantly higher when the project is operated by a public institution, with a choice probability of 58%, than when the project is operated by a private company, with a choice probability of 29%, 12% for a large and small company, respectively. In addition, as a result of the analysis of the expected returns, the results show that the closer the distance from the residence to the power plant, the higher the expected return.

새만금개발은 1987년부터 30년간 정부가 농업, 경제와 관광지역으로 추진하고 있는 우리나라에서 가장 규모가 큰 국책사업이다. 우리나라는 원자력과 화력에 의존하던 전력원을 탄소저감을 위해서 친환경으로 전환하기 위해서 민관사업으로 우리나라 최대규모인 4.6조원을 투자하여 2.1GW의 수상태양광발전 프로젝트를 추진하고 있다. 새만금 수상태양광 프로젝트가 성공하려면 경제적 타당성을 확인해야 한다. 본 연구는 수상태양광사업의 변동성 요소들(건설비용, 전기판매가격, 발전량과 유지관리비용)을 정의하고, 20년간 운영하는 동안 수익의 변동성을 분석하였다. 불확실성으로 수익이 악화가 예상될 때 포기할 수 있는 권리를 가지는 포기옵션을 적용하여 프로젝트의 옵션가치를 구했다. NPV분석에 의하면 투자가 어려운 프로젝트가 옵션분석에 의하여 경제성을 확보할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 투자사업의 의사결정권자가 실물옵션분석방법을 활용하여 수상태양광프로젝트의 경제성분석에 불확실성을 고려할 수 있도록 도와줄 것으로 기대된다.

Renewable energy sources play a key role in achieving carbon neutrality and zero net emissions in the power generation sector. Various efforts have been made to support the deployment of renewable energy, particularly solar photovoltaic and wind power, including policies to internalize the external cost of carbon emissions. In this study, we conducted a financial analysis of a 800 MW floating photovoltaic system and compared it with ground solar power generation. Additionally, we conducted a cost-benefit analysis that included the social cost of carbon. The findings showed that the floating photovoltaic project can meet the profitability target through an appropriately designed internalization of the social cost of carbon.

The floating photovoltaic system is a new concept in the renewable energy technology. That is similar to land based photovoltaic technology except floating system. So the system needs buoyant objects, mooring, ect, besides modules and supports, and that is able to withstand in water level changes and wind strength. Therefore the floating photovoltaic system is much different from land photovoltaic system. K-water (Korea Water Resources Corporation) has been operating two floating photovoltaic system that's capacity is 100 kW and 500 kW respectively since in summer 2011 for commercial generation, and have construction project for 2,000 kW in Boryeong multipurpose Dam and other areas. Furthermore K-water was developing a tracking-type floating photovoltaic system at Daecheong multipurpose Dam and developed and installed an ocean floating photovoltaic demonstration plant at Sihwa Lake in October 2013 for R&D. In this paper, we introduce that structure of floating photovoltaic system include buoyant structure, mooring system and auxiliary device. Especially the rope which is in part of mooring should be always maintain tension under any water level. Also we explain about structure design concept to wind load in an every loading condition and a kind of structure materials and PV structure types used in water environment. Especially ocean floating PV system is affected by tidal current and typhoon. So there are considering the elements in design. Finally we compare with floating and land photovoltaic on power amount. As a result of that we verified the floating photovoltaic system is more about 6.6~14.2 % efficiency than a general land photovoltaic system.
