대기오염의 제어가 발전 단가에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 전산 모델이 개발 되었다. POGEN은 석탄 화력 발전소에 대해 대기오염 제어 비용을 가산한 균등화 발전 단가를 계산한다. 부 프로그램 Pollution은 대기 오염 제어 비용을 가산한 지배 방정식을 사용하여 총 자본 비용과 변동비용을 계산한다. 이 비용은 균등화 발전 단가를 계산하는 부 프로그램 GENeration의 추가 입력으로 사용된다. 탈황설비의 직접 비용에 대한 Pollution을 이용한 결과는 경험이 풍부한 선진국에서 발간된 비용 자료로써 검증하였다. 2001년의 전력 생산비용은 석탄화력발전소에 적용된 세 가지의 규제 시나리오에 의해 추정되었다. 입력 변수의 중요도와 미래 발전소에 대한 입력 변수에 포함된 불확실성 때문에 생기는 불확실도의 전파를 검토하기 위해 Latin Hypercube Sampling과 Multiple Least Squares 방법을 사용하여 민감도 분석과 불확실도 분석을 수행하였다. 가장 민감한 입력 변수는 원자력, 화력 공히 할인률이다. 배출가스제어 비용으로서 9-11 mills/kWh 정도가 추가되어야 한다. 이 비용은 전력 생산비용의 거의 20 퍼센트가 되고, 이에 해당하는 투자비는 1GW 용량의 석탄 화력발전소 초기 투자비용의 40%가 될 것이다. 원자력 발전에 대한 단가는 90퍼센트의 신뢰도로써 32.6-65.9, 석탄 화력에 대해서는 45.5-60.5 mills/kWh가 되며, 엄격한 규제 분위기 하에서는 원자력이 95%의 신뢰도로써 유리할 것이 전망된다.

For the economic analysis of fuel cells, levelized cost of electricity was calculated according to the type, capacity, and annual production of the fuel cells. The cost of every component was calculated through the system component breakdown. The direct cost of the system included stack cost, component cost, assembly, test, and conditioning cost, and profit markup cost were added. The effect of capacity and annual production was analyzed by fuel cell type. Sensitivity analysis was performed according to stack life, capital cost, project period, and fuel cost. As a result, it was derived how much the economic efficiency of the fuel cell improves as the capacity increases and the annual production increases.

Proper resource allocation is also a very important topic in power system problems, especially in operation and planning. One such is optimal maintenance problem in operation and planning. Least cost and highest reliability should be the subjects to be pursued. A probabilistic operation simulation model developed recently by authors is applied to the proboem of optimal maintenance scheduling. Three different methods are compared, marginal maintenance cost, levelized risk and maintenance space. The method by the marginal maintenance costs shows the least cost, the highest reliability and the highest maintenance outage rates. This latter characteristics may considerably influence the results of genetation planning, because the usual maintenance outages obtained from the other methods have shown to be lower.

Levelized generation cost(LGC) has been widely used in assessing feed-in tariffs(FiT) for electricity generating from new and renewable energies. Current FiTs for renewable electricity in Korea have been fixed and applied with realistic economic data by the efforts of KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute) since October 2006. Some critical issues on the estimation of LGC are, however, found in KERI's report. Major issues are the estimation of capital cost, the consideration of corporate tax, and the application of economic life cycle in the formulae for LGC. These critical issues are examined and interpreted in a correct way in this paper.

KEPCO was operating power plants with diesel generators in 49 islands including Baekryeong-Do, and the generation capacity was about 66 MW in 2008. The cost of fuel is increasing by the international oil price inflation and continuous rise of oil price is predicted. For the stabilizing of electric power supply to the separate islands, renewable energy and fuel cell systems were considered. Hydrogen is made using renewable energy such as wind power and solar energy, and then a fuel cell system generates electricity with the stored hydrogen. Though the system efficiency is low, it is treated as the only way to secure the stable electric supply using renewable energy at this present. The analytic hierarchy process was used to select suitable candidate island for the system installation and 5 islands including Ulleung-Do were selected. Economic evaluation for the system composed of a kerosene generator, a wind power, an electrolysis, and a fuel cell system was conducted with levelized generation cost based on present value methode. As the result, the necessity of renewable energy combined generation system and micro grid composition in the candidated islands was confirmed. Henceforth, the development of an integration technology which connects micro grid to the total power grid will be needed.

A considerable cost gap between three major power generation technologies, namely nuclear, coal, and combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), has been a well-established fact in the Korean electricity market. Alternatively, this paper analyzes the levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) of the three technologies reflecting overall social costs of electricity generation including accident risk, $CO_2$ emission, and air pollution damage. The paper unveils to what extent current discriminative subsidies on fuels regarding the social costs, mostly through tax exemptions, affect economic competitiveness of the technologies. In particular, it finds relative positions of coal and CCGT could be altered depending on appreciation level of the social costs. It has limits in analyzing fixed costs of the technologies, however, due to limited data availability of nuclear power, and suggests further studies on the issue.

Current feed-in tariffs(FIT) of Electricity generating from new and renewable energy sources are reappraised with the corrected formula of levelized generation cost(LGC) of utility power. The LGC of new and renewable electricity should be formulated in explicitly reflecting the capital cost and corporate tax during the economic life cycle based on its realistic application data. An applicable term of the FITs should, especially, be equal to the economic life cycle. The revised FITs issued in 2006 were, however, derived from the incorrect formula described in the study of KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute), and consequently misestimated. The reappraisal values for FIT of new and renewable electricity were shown and interpreted in this paper. An FIT of PV more than 30 kW, for example, should be 972.86 won/kWh instead of current 677.38 won/kWh increasing 43.6%. An upward revision of other FITs for new and renewable electricities should also be required in the range of 8.6% to 47.3%.

이 보고서는 2019년, 2022년, 그리고 2040년에 가동에 들어가는 신규 발전원들의 균등화 발전 비용과 균등화 회피 비용의 평균값이 얼마나 되는지를 보여주는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이 보고서에 나온 자료는 Annual Energy Outlook 2017(AEO2017)를 작성하는 데 이용된 National Energy Modeling System(NEMS)에 있는 것들이다. 세 가지의 시나리오 중에서 2022년 가동에 들어가는 경우에 대해서만 본문에서 다루었고, 나머지 2019년과 2040년 가동에 들어가는 경우에 대해서는 각각 부록 A와 B에서 다루었다. 계산은 NEMS의 전력시장 모듈(EMM)에 들어 있는 미국의 22개 지역에 건설되는 발전 설비들을 대상으로 하고 있다. 이 보고서는 그 22개 지역 발전 설비들의 평균 균등화 발전 비용, 설비 용량을 고려한 가중 평균 비용, 지역 간 비용 편차, 그리고 균등화 회피 비용과 균등화 발전 비용의 차이 등을 계산하여 제시하고 있다.

고리원자로의 핵연로비 추정을 위한 가격 모델을 수립하고 이를 기초로 MITCOST-II 전자계산 code를 써서 고리 발전소의 전수명에 걸친 핵연료주기비를 계산하였다. 사용후 연료를 재처리 하지 않는다는 간단한 핵주기를 가정하였는데 평균 단위 핵연료비는 7.332 mills/Kwhe으로 추정되었으며 이중 우라늄 원광비와 농축비가 85% 이상을 차지하고 있음을 알아내었다. 또한 원광가격과 농축가격의 변동 및 발전소 가동율의 변화에 따른 영향을 계산했으며 그 결과 핵연료비가 원광가격 변동에 매우 민감하게 변화한다는 사실도 알아내었다. 따라서 경제적으로 전력을 생산하기 위해서는 적기에 염가로 우라늄을 확보할 수 있도록 노력을 기울여 야 한다고 제안하였다.

Recently, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) announced the development of first-of-a-kind(FOAK) and most advanced futuristic vertical city and named as 'The LINE'. The project will have zero carbon dioxide emissions and will be powered by clean energy sources. Therefore, a study was designed to understand which clean energy sources might be a better choice. Because of its nearly carbon-free footprint, nuclear energy may be a good choice. Nowadays, the development of very small modular reactors (vSMRs) is gaining attention due to many salient features such as cost efficiency and zero carbon emissions. These reactors are one step down to actual small modular reactors (SMRs) in terms of power and size. SMRs typically have a power range of 20 MWe to 300 MWe, while vSMRs have a power range of 1-20 MWe. Therefore, a study was conducted to discuss different vSMRs in terms of design, technology types, safety features, capabilities, potential, and economics. After conducting the comparative test and analysis, the fuel cycle modeling of optimal and suitable reactor was calculated. Furthermore, the levelized unit cost of electricity for each reactor was compared to determine the most suitable vSMR, which is then compared other generation SMRs to evaluate the cost variations per MWe in terms of size and operation. The main objective of the research was to identify the most cost effective and simple vSMR that can be easily installed and deployed.
