국내 원자력발전은 현재 두 번째로 큰 전력 공급 방법이며 원전의 수 역시 증가되는 것으로 계획되어 있다. 그러나, 원자력발전에 의해 발생되는 사용후핵연료에 대해서는 아직 명확한 관리 정책이 확립되어 있지 않다. 원자로 이 후 핵물질 흐름과 관련된 후행 핵연료주기는 사용후핵연료 관리를 위한 기술들의 집합이다. 따라서, 사용후핵연료 관리 정책은 핵연료주기 선택과 함께한다. 핵연료주기 선택의 중요 항목은 경제성으로 이는 사적비용과 함께 외부비용을 더해 결정되어야 한다. 직접비용 인 사적비용과 달리 간접비용인 외부비용에 대한 연구는 원전에 집중되어 있으며 핵연료주기에 대한 연구는 없는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 핵연료주기에 적용할 수 있는 외부비용 항목들을 도출하고 정량화를 시도하였다. 핵연료주기 외부비용 평가를 위해 고려될 수 있는 핵연료주기로 OT(직접처분), DUPIC(PWR-CANDU 연결), PWR-MOX(PWR 습식재처리), Pyro-SFR (파이로 처리와 고속로 연계)의 네 가지를 선정하였다. 원자력발전의 외부비용 평가에 고려되었던 항목들을 분석하여 핵연료주기에서 에너지 공급 안보비용, 사고위험비용과 수용성 비용을 외부비용 항목으로 도출하고 추산하였다.

Recently, the operation of power systems has become more difficult because the peak demand load is increasing continuously and the daily load factor is getting worse and worse. Also, the consideration of deregulation and global environment in electric power industry is required. In order to overcome those problems, a study on the planning and operation in power systems of dispersed generating sources such as fuel cell systems, photovoltaic systems and wind power systems, has been performed energetically. This paper presents a method for determining an optimal operation strategy of dispersed co-generating sources, especially fuel cell generation systems, considering thermal supply as well as electric power supply. In other words, the optimal operation of those sources can be determined easily by the principle of equal incremental fuel cost and the thermal merit of those sources can be also evaluated quantitatively through Kuhn-Tucker's optimal conditions. In additions, an priority method using the comparison of total cost at the peak load time interval is presented in order ot select the optimal locations of those sources. The validity of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated using a model system.

Recently, heating using oil and gas has been continuously replaced by that using midnight power in home, due to increase of oil price. Therefore, midnight power apparatus has been more and more spreading. However, cost of midnight power services is increasing because high fuel cost of generation facilities by existing power generation mix are charge of midnight power services. This paper analyzes trends about rapidly increasing midnight power in winter, and evaluate load pattern and supply cost of midnight power. Also, this study proposes rate direction of midnight power according to introduction of competitiveness system with B/C evaluation of midnight power cost.

This study suggests the effectiveness of an "extended" power system evaluation methodology based on LCA and energy input-output analysis techniques. This "extended" evaluation methodology is designed to incorporate total energy system costs through fuel cycle and external costs, including CO$_2$abatement cost. As an empirical test, we applied the methodology to orimulsion-fired power generation technology and found that orimulsion could be considered as in attractive base-load power generation fuel in terms of economic and environmental aspects, compared to conventional coal-fired power plant.

정부는 최근 2050년까지 국가 온실가스 순배출량은 "0"으로 하는 2050 탄소중립 정책을 추진하고 있다. 이에, 축산업 부문 2050 탄소중립을 위한 핵심적인 수단으로 가축분뇨 에너지화에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 가축분뇨 고체연료화 기술은 가축분뇨를 건조 또는 탄화시켜 고체연료로 제조하는 기술로서 가축분뇨 고체연료 제조시설 및 발전시설의 경제성 문제로 인하여 보급 확산이 미미한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 가축분뇨 고체연료 제조 및 이용 촉진을 위하여 가축분뇨 고체연료의 잠재적인 수요처인 가축분뇨 고체연료 발전시설의 경제성을 평가하고자 하였다. 가축분뇨 고체연료 제조원가는 200톤/일 규모의 발효건조 과정에서 97.4 천원/톤으로 가장 낮은 제조원가를 보였다. 가축분뇨 고체연료 발전시설은 신재생에너지공급인증서(REC) 가중치 1.5에서 경제성을 나타냈다. 가축분뇨 고체연료화는 온실가스 저감, 수계 비점오염원 저감 등 다양한 환경적 편익을 지니고 있다. 따라서 가축분뇨 고체연료 생산시설을 확산 보급을 위해서는 다양한 환경 편익을 포함한 경제성 검토가 요구된다.

For hydrogen generation from aqueous alkilne $NaBH_4$ solution, Co-B catalyst was prepared by chemical reduction method using $NaBH_4$ as a reduction chemical. Effects of solution temperature, amount of catalyst loading, $NaBH_4$ concentration, and NaOH (a base-stabilizer) concentration on the hydrogen generation rate were exmanined. Compared to Ru catalyst generally used, the low-cost Co-B catalyst exhibited almost comparable activity to the hydrogen generation reaction.

Recently, several industrial countries using the fission energy have given attention to the Gen-IV SFR (sodium-cooled fast reactor) for achieving sustainable nuclear energy systems. In this context, an SFR is currently developed at the design concepts study stage in the Republic of Korea [Kim & Hahn 200909]. The sustainability of systems means economic, environment-friendly, proliferation-resistant, and safer systems. More specifically, this sustainability can be accomplished in terms of resource recycling and radioactive waste reduction. In the present work, the objective of fuel cycle cost modeling is to identify the impact of various conceptual options as a cost reduction measure for the Gen-IV SFR at the design concepts study stage. It facilitates the selection of several reasonable fuel cycle pathways for the future Gen-IV SFR from an economic viewpoint.

The generator cost function is one of the basic data for the generation scheduling. Generally the cost functions are obtained form design calculations or from heat rate tests. The real operating condition may be different from the condition of design or the tests. Some of the conditions may not be tested during the periodical maintenance. In order to improve the calculation of the generator cost function, this paper presents a new calculation method of the generator cost functions using the utilization factors of generators and the mixed fuel burning ratio of the generators.

This study organizes scenarios on the power supply and demand plans considering the uncertainties and the portion of distributed energy resources. In analysing the scenarios, it estimates total electricity supply cost in the social aspect, natural gas demand and air pollutants emission including carbon dioxide. Also the analysis is performed to estimate the marginal cost of carbon dioxide reduction for the fuel switching from coal to liquified natural gas. In result, the social cost could be decreased by replacing some portion of renewable energy by LNG-based combined heat and power and delaying the construction of large base-load generators such as coal and nuclear plants. The marginal carbon dioxide reduction cost by fuel switching is in plausible range for fuel switching to be an option for carbon dioxide emission reduction when the social cost is considered.

Cause of struggling to escape from dependency of fossil fuels, the fuel cell and the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) draw attention in the all of the world. Especially, the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems have been anticipated for next generation's energy supplying system, and we can predict the PHEV will enlarge the market share in the next few years to reduce not only the air pollution in the metropolis but the fuel-expenses of commuters. This paper presents simulation results about the strategy of smart charging system for PHEV in the residential house which has 1 kW PEMFC cogeneration system. The smart charging system has a function of recommending the best time to charge the battery of PHEV by the lowest energy cost. The simulated energy cost for charging the battery based on the electricity demand data pattern in the house. The house which floor area is $132\;m^2$ (40 pyeong.). In these conditions, the annual gasoline, electricity, and total energy cost to fuel the PHEV versus Conventional Vehicle (CV) have been simulated in terms of cars' average life span in Korea.
