Studies on the regulation and measurement of greenhouse gases(GHGs) emissions have been carrying out for global wanning. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, many countries have been promoting the Emissions Trading System and projects of the Joint Implementation(JI) and Clean Development Mechanism(CDM). These country's GHG emissions have been measured calculation criteria based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) Guidelines. In order to respond to GHGs regulation, in each country, it is planing to build a Low-Carbon City. The system has been developed for calculating GHGs emissions from companies and institutions in their respective countries. However, the system can monitor the GHGs per city, has not been developed. In this paper, it is studied to design the User Interface and to develop integrated monitoring program for Low-carbon city. This program will make possible monitoring and management, statistics, and reports written by using each data in units of cities.

2022년 발간된 IPCC (The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 6차 평가보고서(AR6)에서는 미래 사회경제변화를 기준으로 기후변화에 대한 미래의 완화와 적응 노력에 따라 5개의 시나리오로 구분된 SSP (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, 공통사회경제경로)를 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 지역을 대상으로 SSP 시나리오에 따른 미래 수문학적 변화를 분석하였다. 제주도 지역의 독특한 기후 및 지질학적 특성, 간헐적 하천유출 특성 등을 모의할 수 있는 유역모델링(SWAT)을 기반으로, 미래 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 수문 변화를 분석하였다. 기후모형에 따른 미래 전망의 불확실성을 최소화하기 위해 SSP 시나리오 4종(SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5)에 대해 18개의 Global Climate Models (GCMs) 자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 또한 지역별 공간적 특성을 충분히 반영하기 위해 하천구간과 고도 특성을 고려하여 총 299개 소유역으로 구분하여 모델링을 수행하였다. 각 GCM 및 SSP 시나리오별 산출된 유역모델링 모의자료를 기반으로 과거 historical 기간(1981~2010년)과 미래기간(2011~2100년)으로 구분하여 강수량, 유출량, 증발산량, 함양량 등에 대한 시공간적 변화를 분석하였다. 대체로 모든 GCM 및 모든 SSP 시나리오에서 미래기간으로 갈수록 강수량은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 북부지역(제주시)보다는 남부지역(서귀포시)의 증가량이 많으며, SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서 상대적으로 변동폭이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 기준증발산량 또한 기온의 증가에 따라 미래로 갈수록 기준증발산량이 증가하는 것으로 전망되었으며, SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서 가장 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 기준증발산량의 절대값은 북부지역에서 더 크게 나타나며, SSP5-8.5에서 가장 큰 것으로 전망되었다. 과거기간 대비 변화율은 SSP5-8.5에서 가장 크게 증가하며, 최소 10% 이상 증가할 것으로 전망되었다.

Currently, the concern about the environment is the issue all over the world, and in particular, carbon emissions of the power plants will not be able to disregard from the respect of generation cost. This paper proposes DR (demand response) as a method of reducing carbon emissions and therefore, carbon emissions cost. There are a number of studies considering DR, and in this paper, the effect of DR is focused on the side of carbon emission reduction effect considering Time-Of-Use (TOU) program, which is one of the most important economic methods in DSM. Demand-price elasticity matrix is used in this paper to model and analyze DR effect. Carbon emissions is calculated by using the carbon emission coefficient provided by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), and generator's input-output characteristic coefficients are also used to estimate carbon emission cost as well as the amount of carbon emissions. Case study is conducted on the RBTS IEEE with six buses. For the TOU program, it is assumed that parameters of time period partition consist of three time periods (peak, flat, off-peak time period).

Based on the tide gauge data from the Permanent Service for Meau Sea Level (PSMSL) collected at 23 locations in the Korean coast, the long-term sea-level trend was computed using a simple linear regression fit over the recorded length of the monthly mean sea-level data. The computed sea-level trend was also corrected for the vertical land movement due to post glacial rebound(PGR) using the ICE-4G(VM2) model output. It was found that the PGR-corrected sea-level trend near Korea was 2.310 $\pm$ 2.220 mm/yr, which is higher than the global average at 1.0∼2.0mm/yr, as assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC). The regional distribution of the long-term sea-level trend near Korea revealed that the South Sea had the largest sea-level rise followed by the West Sea and East Sea, respectively, supporting the results of the previous study by Seo et al. However, due to the relatively short record period and large spatial variability, the sea-level trend from the tide gauge data for the Korean coast could be biased with a steric sea-level rise by the global warming during the 20th century.

최근 기후변화에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 전 세계적으로 미래 기후변화 예측 전망에 대한 다양한 연구들이 수행되었으며, 특히 IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)의 기후변화 6차 보고서에 채택된 SSP(Shared Socio-economic Pathway) 시나리오를 이용한 연구가 활발한 상황이다. 이들 연구에서는 미래 기후변화의 양상 비교를 위한 기간 구분은 통상적으로 F1(2011-2040), F2(2041-2070), F3(2071-2100)으로 구성된다. 하지만 이는 단순하게 동일한 기간으로 나누어 설정한 것으로, 통계적 근거가 부족할 뿐만 아니라 변화 추이를 확인하기 위한 수단으로 사용하기에 부족할 수 있다는 한계점이 존재한다. 이 연구에서는 기후변화 패턴에 대한 기존 연구의 한계, 특히 미래 기후변화를 비교하기 위해 사용되는 기간 분류와 관련하여 한계점을 보완하고자 한다. SSP 시나리오 모델 중 UKESM1 모델을 활용하여 ASOS(Automated Synoptic Observation System) 기상관측소 기준 59개 지점에서 추출한 강수량 데이터를 분석하였다. 이후, 기후변화 비교를 위한 최적의 분류를 결정하기 위해 장마철인 6월부터 9월까지의 강수 데이터에 대해 통계분석 및 Pettitt 검정을 수행해 최적 기간을 산정하였다. 이를 통해 기존의 F1, F2, F3 분류 방식과 통계분석을 통해 도출한 최적 시기의 유출 특성 분석결과의 변화양상을 비교하였으며, 각 방법에 대한 비교를 통해 기후변화 추이에 대한 이해를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 결과적으로 이 연구는 기후변화 시나리오를 활용하는 연구 수행 시 기간 구분에 대한 발전된 접근 방식을 제시하고자 한다.

The global warming is probably the most significant issue of concern all over the world and according to the report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the average temperature and extent of global warming around the globe have been on the rise and so have the uncertainty for the future. Such effects of global warming have adverse effects on basic foundation of the mankind in numerous ways and water resource is no exception. The researches on water resources assessment for climate change are significant enough to be used as the preliminary data for researches in other fields. In this research, a total of 124 peer-reviewed publications and 57 reports on the subject of research on climate change related to water resources, that has been carried out so far in Korea has been reviewed. The research on climate change in Korea (inclusive of the peer-reviewed articles and reports) has mainly focused on the future projection and assessment. In the fields of hydrometeorology tendency and projection, the analysis has been carried out with focus on surface water, flood, etc. for hydrological variables and precipitation, temperature, etc. for meteorological variables. This can be attributed to the large, seasonal deviation in the amount of rainfall and the difficulty of water resources management, which is why, the analysis and research have been carried out with focus on those variables such as precipitation, temperature, surface water, flood, etc. which are directly related to water resources. The future projection of water resources in Korea may differ from region to region; however, variables such as precipitation, temperature, surface water, etc. have shown a tendency for increase; especially, it has been shown that whereas the number of casualties due to flood or drought decreases, property damage has been shown to increase. Despite the fact that the intensity of rainfall, temperature, and discharge amount are anticipated to rise, appropriate measures to address such vulnerabilities in water resources or management of drainage area of future water resources have not been implemented as yet. Moreover, it has been found that the research results on climate change that have been carried out by different bodies in Korea diverge significantly, which goes to show that many inherent uncertainties exist in the various stage of researches. Regarding the strategy in response to climate change, the voluntary response by an individual or a corporate entity has been found to be inadequate owing to the low level of awareness by the citizens and the weak social infrastructure for responding to climate change. Further, legal or systematic measures such as the governmental campaign on the awareness of climate change or the policy to offer incentives for voluntary reduction of greenhouse gas emissions have been found to be insufficient. Lastly, there has been no case of any research whatsoever on the anticipated effects on the economy brought about by climate change, however, there are a few cases of on-going researches. In order to establish the strategy to prepare for and respond to the anticipated lack of water resources resulting from climate change, there is no doubt that a standardized analysis on the effects on the economy should be carried out first and foremost.

Currently one of the most importance issues in industrial sector is energy cost and energy efficiency. The manufacturing plants especially have made many efforts to reduce energy cost by implementing maintenances. But in many cases, they are not aware that how much energy could be saved more. If we know the best energy consumption, which signifies energy baseline, we can control the intensity of maintenances. One way to obtain the baseline is using proper statistics from a specific plant, a sector of industry. Energy bandwidth signifies the gap between actual Specific Energy Consumption(SEC) of a certain plant and minimum SEC of the best plant, and estimate energy saving potential(ESP) is a result of bandwidth analysis. We chose a model plant and implemented some maintenance for a year, and then we obtained ESP. Additionally we could determine the decreased amount of carbon emissions from the plant using Carbon Emissions Factor(CEF) by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC).

Waste sector has been a target of abatement policies by the most governments, even though its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is not so high, since it is related to almost of other sectors. This study propose new GHG calculation equations which resolves logical contradiction of IPCC GL (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guideline) equations by including waste-to-energy effects. According to two GHG calculation equations, GHG emission inventory and BAU by the year 2050 have been computed. And GHG abatement potential and marginal cost for the five abatement policies carefully selected from the previous researches have been calculated for the year 2020. The policy that makes solid fuel like RDF from flammable wastes and uses them as combustion fuel of electricity generations has been found to be the most efficient and effective one among five policies. The cumulative abatement amount when five policies not mutually exclusive are applied sequentially has been reckoned.

미래 대기 이산화탄소 농도가 증가함에 따라 강수 등 기후의 변화하고, 이는 유출량을 포함한 수문 순환 뿐 아니라 지면 식생 생장에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미래 CO2 증가에 따른 식생의 변화와 이로 인한 지표 유출량의 변화에 대해 이해하고자 한다. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6차 평가보고서에서 제시한 표준 온실가스 경로 중 탄소 모듈이 포함된 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 biogeochemistry (CMIP6-BGC) 모델과 탄소 모듈이 포함안된 CMIP6 모델 결과를 활용하였다. 공통 사회경제경로 시나리오(Shared Socio-economic Pathway; SSP) 중 고탄소 시나리오인 SSP585에 따른 모델 결과물을 활용하였다. 표면 유출량 자료에 과거 기간 임계수준 방법을 (Threshold Level Method) 적용하여 동아시아 지역 극한 건조 및 습윤 상태의 빈도와 강도를 CMIP6-BGC와 CMIP6에 대해 평가하였다. CMIP6-BGC 경우, 건조 및 습윤 상태의 빈도는 각각 6.17%, 5.03% , CMIP6 경우 각각 9.29%, 6.70% 으로 예측되어, CMIP6-BGC가 CMIP6 보다 극한 상태를 과소평가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 잎 면적 지수(Leaf Area Index; LAI), 증산량 등의 변수를 분석하여, 기 도출된 CMIP6-BGC와 CMIP6 간의 극한 건조 및 습윤 상태 예측의 차이가 발생한 메카니즘을 이해하고자 하였다.
