The wind power generation systems have a fluctuating or intermittent power output due to the variability of the wind speed. The amount of wind generation which can be connected to the grid without causing voltage stability problems is limited. In this study, the simulation of the wind power generation including energy storage system were performed to reduce the fluctuation of wind power output and to obtain the optimal operation planning of energy storage system.

The present paper relates to an integration power system combining tidal power generation and ocean current power generation, and more particularly, to an integration power system combining a tidal power plant and two ocean current power parks, which is capable of increasing the operating rate of power facilities and efficiently generating electrical energy by using incoming seawater into the lake through turbine generators of a tidal power plant or fast flow of seawater discharged to a sea side through sluice gates of a tidal power dam. It is shown that the integration power system is a new promising ocean power system and the ocean current turbine generators in the ocean current power parks of the integration power system are smaller in size and larger in power generation capacity compared with the tidal current turbine generators in the ocean.

An IGCC was evaluated as one of the next generation technologies that would be able to substitute for coal-fired power plants. According to "The 4th Basic Plan of Long-term Electricity Supply & Demand" which is developed by the Electricity Business Acts, the first IGCC will be operated at 2015. Like other new and renewable energy such as solar PV, Fuel cell, The IGCC is considered as non-competitive generation technology because it is not maturity technology. Before the commercial operation of an IGCC in our electricity market, its economic feasibility under the Korean electricity market, which is cost-based trading system, is studied to find out institutional support system. The results of feasibility summarized that under the current electricity trading system, if the IGCC is considered like a conventional plant such as nuclear or coal-fired power plants, it will not be expected that its investment will be recouped within life-time. The reason is that the availability of an IGCC will plummet since 2016 when several nuclear and coal-fired power plants will be constructed additionally. To ensure the reasonable return on investment (NPV>0 IRR>Discount rate), the availability of IGCC should be higher than 77%. To do so, the current electricity trading system is amended that the IGCC generator must be considered as renewable generators to set up Price Setting Schedule and it should be considered as pick load generators, not Genco's coal fired-generators, in the Settlement Payment.

This study aims to propose a new optimization-based approach for design and analysis of the stand-alone hybrid energy supply system using renewable energy sources (RES). In the energy supply system, we include multiple energy production technologies such as Photovoltaics (PV), Wind turbine, and fossil-fuel-based AC generator along with different types of energy storage and conversion technologies such as battery and inverter. We then select six different regions of Korea to represent various characteristics of different RES potentials and demand profiles. We finally designed and analyzed the optimal RES stand-alone energy supply system in the selected regions using multiobjective optimization (MOOP) technique, which includes two objective functions: the minimum cost and the minimum $CO_2$ emission. In addition, we discussed the feasibility and expecting benefits of the systems by comparing to conventional systems of Korea. As a result, the region of the highest RES potential showed the possibility to remarkably reduce $CO_2$ emissions compared to the conventional system. Besides, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the RES-based energy system is identified to be slightly higher than conventional energy system: 0.35 and 0.46 $/kWh, respectively. However, the total life-cycle emission of $CO_2$ ($LCE_{CO2}$) can be reduced up to 470 g$CO_2$/kWh from 490 g$CO_2$/kWh of the conventional systems.

Although renewable power is regarded a way to active response to climate change, the stability of whole power system could be a serious problem in the future due to its uncertainties such as indispatchableness and intermittency. From this perspective, the peak time impact of stochastic wind power generation is estimated using simulation method up to year 2030 based on the 3rd master plan for the promotion of new and renewable energy on peak time. Result shows that the highest probability of wind power impact on peak time power supply could be up to 4.41% in 2030. The impact of wind power generation on overall power mix is also analyzed up to 2030 using SCM model. The impact seems smaller than expectation, however, the estimated investment cost to make up such lack of power generation in terms of LNG power generation facilities is shown to be a significant burden to existing power companies.

정부는 2006년 8월 기존의 발전차액 지원제도를 개정하여 발전차액 기준가격 지원대상 확대, 적용기간의 15년 단일화, 수력, 바이오에너지는 고정요금과 변동요금 중에서 선택할 수 있는 선택권 부여, 기술발전에 따라 태양광, 풍력, 연료전지는2-3년간의 유예기간 이후 매년 감소율을 적용하여 기준가격을 낮추는 등 많은 제도개선 내용을 반영하였다. 2006년 10월부터 개정된 발전차액 지원제도가 시행된 이후 태양광, 풍력의 신규진입이 대폭 증가하였고 수력, LFG, 바이오가스는 대부분 변동요금을 신청하였으며 2007년 집행된 신재생에너지 발전차액 기반기금의 55% 이상이 태양광발전에 지급되는 편중현상의 영향이 나타났다. 따라서 변동요금 설계시보다 SMP 평균이 22원 이상 높아져 변동요금의 재설계, 태양광 발전의 기반기금규모가 55% 이상을 점유하고 있으며 향후 더욱 심화될 예정이므로 특정전원의 기반기금 점유비중 제한 및 최근 수년간 준공된 신재생에너지의 운영실적을 분석하고 법적요건을 상세히 검토하여 투자비, 운영비, 이용률등을 재조정하여 기준가격을 합리적으로 개정하여 제2의 신재생에너지 도약기를 마련해야 할 것이다.

Recently, the Korean Government announced the Korean New Deal as a national development strategy to overcome the economic recession from the pandemic crisis and lead the global action against structural changes. In the Korean New Deal, the Green New Deal related with the energy aims to achieve net-zero emissions and accelerates the transition towards a low-carbon and green economy. To this end, the government plans to promote an increased use of renewable energy in the society at large. This paper introduces a binary power generation using unused low-grade thermal energy to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon and green economy and examines a control system based on Neural Network which is capable maintenance at low-cost by an unmanned automated operation in actual power generation environment. It is expected that the realization of binary power generation accelerates introduction of renewable energy along with solar and wind power.
