Demand of Natural Gas (NG) consumption is continuously increasing by long service life and low environmental impact than other fossil fuels. Because of this reasons, Gas wells exploration and huge LNG plant construction project are being boosted world-widely. Especially, overseas NG pipe-line projects are emerging by considering safe and efficiency at the inter-country sections. At the same time, Korean contractors are being achieved to record-breaking performance at 2011's overseas construction market and 80% of new-record was attained from overseas plant construction projects. Nevertheless, Korean contractors are behind than overseas leading contractors by geographical distance from gas wells and concentrated demand for storage plant. In these reasons, this paper aims to develop the standardized business process model(BPM) for overseas NG pipe-line project at project planning phase to support the project entry. To this aim, first of all, extract the BPM through the broad literature and overseas construction market review and domestic/overseas pipe-line project analysis. Second, Test-bed was performed to confirm of practical applicability by 4 experts. And then 15 experts survey were performed to validate the usability and effectiveness of BPM for overseas NG pipe-line project. Consequently, if Korean contractors are using this BPM with their own know-how and experiences, it will be returned to more reasonable and rational references for decision making in overseas NG pipe-line project.

산업통상자원부는 '17년부터 '31년까지 향후 15년간의 전력수급 전망 및 전력설비 계획 등을 담은 '제8차 전력수급기본계획'(안)을 마련하여 12월 14일 국회 산업통상자원중소벤처기업위원회(이하 산업위)의 통상 에너지 소위에 보고했다. 이번 계획(안)은 지난해 12월 계획 수립에 착수한 이래 약 1년간 70여명 전문가들의 43차례 회의를 거쳐 작성되었으며, 그간 수요 전망, 설비 계획, 예비율 등 5차례에 걸쳐 중간 결과를 공개하여 시민 환경단체, 에너지업계 등 이해 관계자로부터 의견을 수렴해 왔으며, 지난 9월에는 국회 산업위 통상에너지소위에 중간 보고를 하였다. 기존 수급계획이 수급 안정과 경제성 위주로 수립되었던 것에 반해, 이번 8차 계획은 최근 전기사업법 개정(전기사업법 제3조 개정('17.3월) : "전력수급기본계획 수립시, 전기설비의 경제성, 환경 및 국민안전에 미치는 영향 등을 종합적으로 고려하여야") 취지를 감안하여 환경성 안전성을 대폭 보강하여 수립한 것이 특징이다. 또한 발전소 건설을 우선 추진하기보다는 수요 관리를 통한 합리적 목표 수요 설정에 주안점을 두었고, 신규 발전설비는 대규모 원전 석탄 일변도에서 벗어나 친환경 분산형 재생에너지와 LNG 발전을 우선시하였다. 이번 수급계획은 국회 산업위 통상에너지소위 보고 외에도 국회 산업위 전체회의 보고, 공청회 등을 통해 추가적으로 의견을 수렴한 뒤 전력정책심의회 심의를 거쳐 최종 확정될 예정이다. 국회에 보고된 제8차 전력수급기본계획(안) 전문을 게재한다.

풍력발전을 활성화하기 위한 정부차원의 노력과 제주 지자체의 의지, 그리고 새로운 사업 기회를 찾기 위한 풍력발전 사업자들의 의향 등으로 현재 제주 지역에는 많은 풍력발전의 증가가 예상되고 있다. 동시에 향후 3$\sim$4년 안에 예정되어 있는 제주 계통의 여러 변화들 - 대형 LNG 발전소의 신설 및 신규 HVDC의 건설 - 등과 맞물려 풍력발전 증가에 따른 영향을 분석해볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 2012년 제주 계통의 변화를 예상해보고 여러 시나리오에 걸쳐 발전 설비를 운용하는 조합을 선정해보았다. 그리고 각 경우의 발전설비 이용률을 검토해 보았다.

This study is intended to analyze the appropriate scope for 9.9MW biomass cogeneration, feasibility and sensitivity according to changing market situation. In the study, the heat load is classified into three types to predict heat sales and find out the appropriate scope of thermal business that is operated in CHP 34.42 Gcal/h, PLBwg 70 Gcal/h of cogeneration. the feasibility is estimated based on internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value(NPV). the sensitivity is analyzed in terms of biomass fuel cost, unit price of heating cost, investment cost, SMP unit price and REC unit price.

The GTL(Gas to Liquids) technology, manufacturing synthesized oil from natural gas, had been developed about 1920 for the military purpose by Fischer and Tropsch, German scientists. And 1960, Sasol company had started commercializing the FT(Fischer-Tropsch) synthesis technology, for the transport fuel in South Africa. Until a recent date, the commercialization of GTL technology had been delayed by low oil price. But concern about depletion of petroleum resources, and development in synthesizing technology lead to spotlight on the GTL businesses. Especially, Qatar, which has rich natural gas fields, aims at utilizing natural gas like conventional oil resources. Therefore, around this nation, GTL plants construction has been promoted. There are mainly 3 processes to make GTL products(Diesel, Naphtha, lube oil, etc) from natural gas. The first is synthesis gas generation unit reforming hydrogen and carbomonoxide from natural gas. The second is FT synthesis unit converting synthesized gas to polymeric chain-hydrocarbon. The third is product upgrading unit making oil products from the FT synthesized oil. There are quite a little sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic compounds in GTL products. GTL product has environmental premium in discharging less harmful particles than refinery oil products from crude to the human body. In short, the GTL is a clean technology, easier transportation mean, and has higher stability comparing to LNG works.

Six countries are considered in the study for the comparison of their respective gas industries with the Korean gas industry: the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France, Germany and Japan. The emphases of comparison are given on the cross-evaluation of industry organizations and related regulations. In terms of industrial development stages, the Korean gas industry, with its short experience and in need of more infrastructure, is still young and at an early stage of development. Due to this reason, the study finds that it is premature for the Korean case to propose some policies like the promotion of competition in the gas transportation through third-party access to pipelines. or seeking overseas business opportunities requiring venture capital and advanced technology. Recommendations are made that Korea rather, for the time being, concentrate its energy on the construction of infrastructure and on securing supply sources and diversifying import origins, in order to strengthen it's supply capability in the face of rapidly increasing gas demand in the nation. Nevertheless, Korea will soon have to consider more seriously about the deregulation of the market and more diversified business activities through the development of high technology and managerial skills.

북극해의 해빙 감소와 러시아 야말반도의 LNG 자원 개발 등으로 북극항로를 이용한 선박의 화물운송이 점차 증가하고 있다. 극지 해역 운항선박의 안전운항과 해양환경보호를 위하여 IMO Polar Code가 2017년 1월부터 강제 발효되었으며, SOLAS협약과 MARPOL73/78 협약에 추가되어 시행되고 있다. 이에 대응하기 위하여 해양수산부 해양안전 및 해양교통시설기술개발 사업으로 2014년 11월부터 2018년 12월까지 KRISO 주관으로 '북극항로를 운항하는 선박의 항해안전 지원시스템 개발' 과제를 수행하여 KRISO Arctic safe Routing System(KARS)을 개발하였다. 한편, Polar Code에서는 빙해구역을 운항하는 선박의 구조적인 안전성을 확보하기 위한 평가 기준으로 Polar Operational Limit Assessment Indexing System (POLARIS)을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연구배경, KARS 및 POLARIS에 대해서 간략히 설명을 하고, 두 가지 방법으로 북극해 최적항로를 각각 시뮬레이션하여 그 차이를 비교 검토하여 보인다. 결과적으로 KARS는 POLARIS를 기본적으로 고려함으로서 선박의 구조적인 안전성을 확보함과 동시에 연료소모량을 최소화 하는 경로를 탐색하므로 보다 최적화된 경로를 줄 수 있다. 향후 지속적인 수정보완 작업을 통해서 완성도를 높여갈 예정이며, 검증단계를 거쳐서 최적하고 안전한 항로와 운항 관련 정보를 선사와 해기사에게 제공하고, 북극항로 중 단기 운항계획 수립과 항해사의 안전 운항을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Energy consumption statistics have been surveyed for 50 large commercial buildings with high energy consumption records in Seoul City. The buildings were classified into three different groups for data analysis: hospitals, hotels, and department stores/office buildings. The analysis was focused on identifying installed boiler and refrigerator data, energy consumption rates, and energy load distribution throughout the year. Refrigerating electricity was confirmed again to affect most on the formation of the summer electricity load peak as expected. Replacing the refrigerator electricity peak in the summer with co-generation in large commercial buildings. However, overall heat load distribution in a single building is still considered not large enough for economically feasible co-generation and thus joint co-generation for multiple neighboring buildings are preferred and the Electric Power Law and LNG pricing policy should be revised favorably for co-generation in advance.

Ice-going ships such as icebreakers, icebreaking tankers, and icebreaking LNG carriers are subjected to wave loads in open water and ice loads in ice-covered water. In terms of the ship's structural design, the local ice load is important. The fatigue failure due to repeated ice loads is also important. ISO 19906 specifies the assessment of the fatigue limit for a polar offshore structures. In addition, Lloyd's Register refers to fatigue damage based on ShipRight FDA ICE. In ShipRight FDA ICE, the fatigue damage indices due to wave and ice loads are simply presented as 0.5 for each load. It also states that the sum of the two fatigue damage indices should not exceed one. This study calculated and analyzed the fatigue damage index and fatigue life considering ARAON's voyage schedules and the assumed Antarctic voyage based on data measured during the Arctic voyage of ARAON in 2010.
