Many countries are increasing their investments in smart grid technology to enhance energy efficiency, address climate change, and trigger a green energy revolution. In addition to these goals, Korea also seeks to promote national competitiveness, prepare for the growth of the renewable energy industry, and export industrialization through its strategic promotion of the smart grid. Given its inherent representativeness for Korean implementation of the smart grid and its growth potential, Jeju Island was selected by the Korean government as the site for smart grid testing in June 2009. This paper presents a new design for the electricity market and an operational scheme for testing Smart Electricity Services in the Jeju smart grid demonstration project. The Jeju smart grid test-bed electricity market is constructed on the basis of day-ahead and real-time markets to provide two-way electricity transaction environments. The experience of the test-bed market operation shows that the competitive electricity market can facilitate the smart grid deployment in Korea by allowing various demand side resources to be active market players.

Recently, smart grid has been considered a very important new energy delivery technology, and one that can help ensure a cleaner environment by making use of information and communication technology (ICT) in countries around the world. The many technological benefits smart grid offers is expected to bring about a huge change in the electric energy supply chain. In particular, smart grid with advanced ICT is likely to allow market agents to participate in the decision-making process in the restructured electricity industry, easily facilitating Homeostatic Utility Control. In this paper, we examine smart grid as a market externality, and then illustrate issues from the commercial market perspective as it relates to electricity market design. Finally, our paper identifies some of the impacts of smart grid on electricity market design, which may possibly be incorporated into the evolution of the electricity market, thus ensuring market efficiency.

Although electricity market structures may be different from each country, they have a long-term forward market and a short-term spot market in general. Particularly, a bilateral contract transacted at a long-term forward market fixes the electricity price between a genco and a customer so that the customer can avoid risk due to price-spike in the spot market. The genco also can make an efficient risk-hedging strategy through the bilateral contract. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism for deriving the optimal bilateral contract price using game theory. This mechanism can make the customer reveal his true willingness to purchase so that an adequate bilateral contract price is derived.

Carbon costs, either in the form of a carbon tax or through permit prices in an emissions trading scheme, would ultimately be reflected in higher electricity prices. This price "pass-through" is very critical to the effective design of new policies to curb the amount of carbon emissions. This paper sets out in a structured way the factors that determine price pass-through and how carbon costs would impact on the electricity market and the existing coal-fired power plants. It is shown that pass-through can vary drastically if the underlying dispatch potential of generators varies significantly across alternative emissions reduction scenarios. It can also vary depending on the availability of competing cleaner forms of generation. Pass-through as a measure of business performance is therefore hard to generalize across different circumstances and should be interpreted carefully.

Introducing the market into the electricity industry lets the multiple participants get into new competition. These multiple participants of the market need new business strategies for providing value added services to customer. Therefore they need the accurate customer information about the electricity demand. Demand characteristic is the most important one for analyzing customer information. In this study load profile data, which can be collected through the Automatic Meter Reading System, are analyzed for getting demand patterns of customer. The load profile data include electricity demand in 15 minutes interval. An algorithm for clustering similar demand patterns is developed using the load profile data. As results of classification, customers are separated into several groups. And the representative curves for the groups are generated. The number of groups is automatically generated. And it depends on the threshold value for distance to separate groups. The demand characteristics of the groups are discussed. Also, the compositions of demand contracts and standard industrial classification in each group are presented. It is expected that the classified curves will be used for tariff design, load forecasting, load management and so on. Also it will be a good infrastructure for making a value added service related to electricity.

RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standards)란 전력의 일정 양 또는 비율을 신$\cdot$재생에너지에 의하여 충당하도록 의무화하는 제도로써 정부지원에 의존한 신$\cdot$재생에너지 보급을 시장기능에 의하여 활성화하려는 새로운 정책도구이다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 RPS제도의 국내 도입에 대비하여 RPS의 기본 개념과 시장기구 하의 운용방식, 정책설계 시 고려사항 등을 살펴보았다. 이를 통하여 신$\cdot$재생에너지 전망 및 계획상의 문제점과 RPS도입에 따른 전력시장에서의 효과 등을 확인하고, 최종적으로는 향후 RPS도입을 위한 정책제언을 도출한다.

This paper presents a methodology for the application of Unified Modeling Language (UML) to develop the new load management system. Development of new load management system in competitive electricity market is very complex since it requires too much data of power system. For the efficient and flexible design to develop of new load management system, a UML approach in applied which is composed of a class diagram, package diagram using Rational Rose Unified Process.

This paper presents a new approach to HVDC system control for damping subsynchronous oscillation (SSO) involving HVDC converters and turbine generator shaft systems. This requires a novel eigenvalue analysis (NEA) program, derivation of HVDC system modeling considering steady-state conditions and dynamic conditions in the combined AC/DC system, and an appropriate control scheme. The method suggested makes possible the design of a subsynchronous oscillation damping controller (SODC) to provide positive damping torque for the range of torsional modes in combined AC/DC systems. There are three steps involved in the design of a SODC； first the worst torsional mode is determined using the NEA program, next the SODC parameters are designed for the range of that torsional mode, and then finally an off-line simultaneous time domain program such as PSCAD/EMTDC is used to verify the parameters of the SODC. The suggested SODC design method is applied to two AC/DC systems, and its practicality is verified using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program.

태양광, 풍력 등 신재생 에너지 생산이 다양해지면서 생산과 소비를 동시에 할 수 있는 마이크로그리드 시스템이 소개되었지만 국내에서는 아직까지 자동화된 전력거래 기술 도입이 필요하고 생산 및 중계인의 보호할 장치가 필요하다. 일반적으로 여름에는 태양광을 통한 전력 가격 하락이 예상되어 생산자 보호가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로그리드 환경에서 블록체인(Blockchain)을 활용한 사용자 간 투명하고 안전한 선물 전력거래 시스템을 제안한다. 선물이란 간단히 말해서 고정된 가격과 미리 정해진 선물 가격에 구매자가 전력을 사는 의무를 가지거나 판매자가 전력을 팔아야 하는 의무를 갖게 되는 계약이다. 본 시스템은 블록체인 네트워크 내에서 신뢰할 수 있는 실행코드인 스마트 컨트랙트(Smart Contract)를 이용하여 사용자의 개입 없이 자동화된 동작으로 선물 가격을 검색하고 전력 거래를 체결하는 선물 거래 알고리즘을 제안한다. 만일 전력 생산자가 생산계획 시에 최대 생산 시기(하지)의 가격이 하락할 가능성이 있다고 생각이 되면 선물시장에서 선물을 먼저 팔아 놓고 최대 생산 시기(하지)에 선물을 되사서 이익을 내어 현물시장에서의 손실을 보전할 수 있다. 또 중계업자는 판매계약 체결 시에 전력 가격이 상승될 우려가 있으면 선물시장에서 먼저 선물을 매입하고 판매계약 이행 시 선물을 청산하여 이익을 실현시켜 현물시장에서의 손실을 보전할 수 있게 된다.

Supercritical carbon dioxide power system is the next generation electricity technology expected to be highly developed. The power system can improve net efficiency, simplify cycle configuration, and downsize equipment compared to conventional steam power system. In order to dominate the new market in advance, it is required to found Front End Engineering Design (FEED) Framework of the system. Therefore, this study developed the FEED framework including design processes for the supercritical carbon dioxide power system, information elements for each process, and relationships for each element. The developed FEED framework is expected to be able to secure systematic technological capabilities by establishing a common understanding and perspective among multi-field engineers participating in the design.
