This research analyzed on the future energy society of Korea in 2030 using system thinking approach. Key uncertainty factors determining the future energy society were analyzed in a multi disciplinary view point such as politics, economy, society, ecology and technology. Three causal loop diagrams for the future energy system in Korea and related policy leverages were shown as well. 'Global economic trends', 'change of industrial structure' and 'energy price' were identified as key uncertainty factors determining the Korean energy future. Three causal loop diagrams named as 'rate of energy self－sufficiency and alternative energy production', 'economic activity and energy demand' and 'Excavation of new growth engines' were developed. We integrated those causal loop diagrams into one to understand the entire energy system of the future, proposed three strategic scenarios(optimistic, pessimistic and most likely) and discussed implications and limits of this research.

The development of environment-friendly Energy Resources (New Renewable Energy Resources) is one of the global topics these days, considering CO2 Reduction Agreement by Kyoto Protect and the limit of Conventional Energy Resources in near future. Among the New Renewable Energy, Wind Energy is the most feasible Renewable Energy in view of economical and technical aspect at this moment. Last 10 years the Wind Energy Development was really dramatical in Europe. especially in Germany, Denmark and Spain. In this circumstance World Wind Energy Conference was held in Berlin Germany, in order to review the present status and future development of the Wind Energy. This report is a brief report of the Conference .

As one of the Gen-IV nuclear energy systems, a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) is being developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. As a long-term national research project, advanced radiation resistant oxide dispersion strengthened steel (ARROS) is being developed as an in-core fuel cladding tube material for a SFR in the future. In this paper, the current status of ARROS development is reviewed and its future prospective is discussed.

지능정보기술과 에너지기술의 융합은 단순히 기술 자체 뿐 아니라 사회, 제도, 조직 전반의 변화를 수반하기 때문에 수많은 이해관계자들에게 영향을 미친다. 따라서 자원개발과 발전, 석유화학 중심의 전통 에너지 산업에 대한 경로 의존성에서 벗어나 새로운 산업을 창출하기 위해서는 미래에 도달하고자하는 선호 미래를 먼저 그리고 이를 실현하기 위한 전략을 고민하는, 백캐스팅(Backcasting) 관점의 접근이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 백캐스팅 관점에서 지능정보기술이 가져올 미래 에너지 산업의 변화 양상을 살펴보고 국가 관점에서의 에너지 정책 목표 달성, 그리고 각 이해관계자들의 이익을 동시에 만족시킬 수 있는 미래 에너지 서비스 모델을 도출하였다. 이후, 미래 에너지 서비스가 실현되기 위한 기술적 선결 조건을 분석하고, 세부적인 구성 기술과 현재 시점에서 중점 R&D가 필요한 분야를 제시하였다.

순산소 순환유동층 연소기술은 기후변화 및 연료 수급 문제들을 해결할 수 있는 기술로 주목 받고 있다. 순산소 순환유동층 연소기술은 배기가스재순환 공정을 통해 이산화탄소를 비교적 쉽게 포집할 수 있으며 대기오염물질 배출도 줄일 수 있는 친환경 연소기술이다. 새롭게 개발된 $100kW_{th}$ 급 순산소 순환유동층 연소 시스템은 연료다변화에 대응하기 위해 다양한 연료들의 순산소연소 특성을 분석하고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 높은 고정탄소 및 회분함량으로 인해 연소성이 낮은 연료로 알려진 무연탄을 활용하여 높은 이산화탄소를 생산하고 연소효율을 향상시키고자 하였다. 그 결과로서, 무연탄 순산소 연소는 아역청탄 공기연소 대비, 연소효율이 2% 향상되었으며 대기오염물질인 $SO_2$, CO, NO은 각각 15%, 60%, 99% 감소하였다. 또한, 안정적인 순산소순환유동층 연소를 통해 배기가스 내 94 vol.% 이상의 $CO_2$ 가 포집될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study it is attempted to estimate the possible change in energy use for residential and commercial sector in Korea under a future climate change senario. Based on the national energy use and observed temperature data during the period 1991~2010, the optimal base temperature for determining heating and cooling degree days (HDD and CDD) is calculated. Then, net changes in fossil fuel and electricity uses that are statistically linked with a temperature variation are quantified through regression analyses of HDD and CDD against the energy use. Finally, the future projection of energy use is estimated by applying the regression model and future temperature projections by the CMIP5 results under the RCP8.5 scenario. The results indicate that, overall, the net annual energy use will decrease mostly due to a large decrease in the fossil fuel use for heating. However, a clear seasonal contrast in energy use is anticipated in the electricity use; there will be an increase in a warm-season demand for cooling but a decrease in a cold-season demand for heating.

Amid growing concerns about energy security, energy prices, economic competitiveness, and climate change, district heating (DH) system has been recognized for its significant benefits and the part it can play in efficiently meeting society's growing energy demands while reducing environmental impacts. Policy makers often need to quantify the fuel and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emissions savings of DH system compared to conventional individual heating (IH) system in order to estimate its actual emissions reductions. The objective of this paper is to calculate energy efficiency and $CO_2$ emissions saving, and to propose the future direction for DH system in Korea. DH system achieved total system efficiencies of 67.9% compared to 54.1% for IH system in 2015. DH system reduced $CO_2$ emissions by $381,311ton-CO_2$ (4.1%) compared to IH system. The results suggest that DH system is more preferred than IH system using natural gas. In Korea, the aim is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to use energy more efficiently. DH system have significant potential with regard to achieving this aim, because DH system are already integrated with power generation in the electricity since combined heating and power (CHP) are used for heat supply. Although the future conditions for DH may look promising, the current DH system in Korea must be enhanced in order to handle future competition. Thus, the next DH system must be integrated with multiple renewable energy and waste heat energy sources.

New and renewable energy has attracted a significant attention since the Paris Agreement in 2015. Especially hydrogen energy is important for reducing greenhouse gas produced during transportation. The new government suggested that the eco-friendly vehicles, hydrogen infrastructure and the development of new and renewable energy are the major growth engines in the future. Hydrogen energy is also concerned as the main part of our economy in the national affairs. In the policy of Mission Innovation Strategy and the third Eco-Friendly Vehicle Master Plan, government presents the status, future direction, technical road map and distribution road map of hydrogen energy. With this trend, investments in the research and development on hydrogen and fuel cells have expanded and will continue to expand for the implementation of the policy. The cost reduction, technical innovation and the increase in the localization rate are required for the new and renewable energy, including hydrogen energy, to become the future growth engine.
