In this paper, Residential roof top photovoltaic system with 9.9 kW design is proposed. The system composed of 200 Watts solar array 33 panels connecting in series 10 strings and parallels 3 strings which have maximum voltage and current are 350 V and 23.8 A. The 10 kW sinusoidal grid-connected inverter with window voltage about 270-350 is selected to convert and transfer DC Power to AC Power at PCC (Point of Common Coupling) of power system following to utility standard. However the impact of fluctuation and uncertainty of weather condition of PV may decrease the voltage stability and voltage collapse of power system. In order to solve this problem the energy storage such 120 V 1200 Ah battery bank and 30 kVAR capacitor are designed for voltage stability control. The other expensed for installing the system such battery charger, cable, accessories and maintenance cost are concerned. The economic analysis by using investment from money loan with interest about 7% and use own money which loss income of deposit about 3% are calculated as 671,844 and 547,044 for PV system with energy storage and non energy storage respectively. The solar energy from PV is about 101,616 Bath per year which evaluated by using the value of $5kWh/m^2/day$ from average peak sun hour (PSH) of the Thailand and 6.96 Bath/kWh of Feed in Tariff Incentive. The payback periods of four scenarios are proposed follow as i) PV system with energy storage and use loan money is 15 years ii) PV system with no energy storage and use loan money is 10 years iii) PV system with energy storage and use deposit money is 9 years iv) PV system with energy storage and use deposit money is 7 years. In addition, the other scenarios of economic analysis such no FIT support and other type of economic analysis such NPV and IRR are proposed in this paper.

This paper considers the alternative way to mitigate cost for REC instead of Photovoltaic (PV) panels with Energy Storage System (ESS). This study starts from an economic analysis of a 1 megawatt PV system without ESS. Several assumptions have been applied in consideration of the current domestic situation. Based on this result, the economic efficiency of PV with ESS improved. However, the reliance on government subsidies was very high. The alternative way to cover the fluctuation power from renewable energy was reviewed with economical and technical way. In case the natural gas engine applied to PV, the IRR and Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) can be improved without ESS. And if small amount of additional REC, the IRR can be improved up to investment level.

Power generation using solar PV and wind power are more feasible to compete with fossil fuel power generation. However, residential acceptance is still a big challenge in the deployment of renewable energy. The Korean government has implemented various policies to support the development of renewable energy in which communities invest. However, there are very few cases of the commercial operation of community-invested renewable energy power plants. Renewable energy has attracted attention in the reduction of greenhouse gasses (GHG) effects and economic feasibility. However, it is also necessary to focus on socio-economic effects to overcome the economic recession while reducing greenhouse emissions. Community-invested renewable energy development projects can positively revitalize the local economy in many aspects, such as resident income, job creation, and the growth of local businesses. This study analyzes the local economic impact of renewable energy development projects on residents' income and job creation. It increased local companies' sales through community-invested development projects in Korea.

The investment in solar and wind generation is rapidly increasing with government's renewable expansion policy and Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). Since the large penetration of solar and wind generation increases the variability and uncertainty of supply and demand balance in power system, the government is pursuing the policy of supplying energy storage system (ESS) linked to renewable energy. ESS contributes to the ease of transmission and distribution grid by shifting PV generation from daytime to evening hours. Recently, the declining market price of REC as ESS incentive, policies to cut down incentives and limited ESS storage due to fire events lead to the aggravation of long-term profitability, thus working as a barrier of ESS spreading. In this study, the factors affecting the profit of ESS are analyzed and brief indicators are derived. Based on the indicators, the profit changes are analyzed considering the variation of REC market price and REC incentive weights. Based on the profit change with respect to the increase of ESS capacity, economical ESS installation capacity is suggested.

The value of tangible assets depreciates over their useful life and this depreciation should be adequately reflected in any tax or financial reports. However, the method used to calculate depreciation can impact the financial performance of solar projects due to the time value of money. Korean tax law stipulates only one method for calculating the depreciation of solar photovoltaic facilities: the straight-line method. Conversely, USA's tax law accepts other depreciation methods as solar incentives, including the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) and Bonus depreciation method. This paper compares different depreciation methods in the financial analysis of a 10 MW solar system to determine their effect on the financial results. When depreciation was calculated utilizing the MACRS and Bonus depreciation method, the internal rate of return (IRR) was 10.9% and 16.4% higher, respectively, than when the Korean straight-line depreciation method was used. Additionally, the increased IRR resulting from the use of the two US methods resulted in a 20.5% and 27.4% higher net present value, respectively. This shows that changing the depreciation calculation method can redistribute the tax amount during the project period, thereby increasing the discounted cash flow of the solar project. In addition to increasing profitability, USA's depreciation methods alleviate the uncertainty of solar projects and provide more flexibility in project financing than the Korean method. These results strongly suggest that Korean tax law could greatly benefit from adopting USA's depreciation methods as an effective incentive scheme.

2012년 Renewable Portfolio Standard(RPS) 제도가 시행된 이래, 태양광 및 풍력 등의 신재생 전원에 대한 대규모 투자가 이루어져 왔고, 최근에 정부는 배터리 에너지 저장시스템(Battery Energy Storage System, BESS)의 신재생설비 연계설치에 대한 정책을 도입하여 신재생설비가 전원으로서의 역할이 가능하게끔 유도하고 있다. 정책입안자 입장에서 변화하는 전력산업 환경을 수급관점에서 고려하기 위해서는 개별 정책효과 분석을 단순화하는 방법론을 필요로 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초기단계로 시작한 태양광발전 연계형 배터리시스템 정책 분석을 위해 국내 태양광 발전 실적을 바탕으로 태양광 발전량 분포를 일간이용률 지속곡선 형태로 제안하였고, 이를 바탕으로 최적 BESS 용량을 산출하는 방식을 통해 분석의 용이성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문의 방식을 통해 System Marginal Price(SMP) 및 REC 변화에 따른 BESS의 적정용량 범위를 간단히 파악할 수 있으며, 신재생정책 입안자 입장에서 정책효과를 가늠할 수 있도록 하는 도구로 이용할 수 있다. 현행 연계형 BESS 지원정책은 투자유인 제공이 부분적으로 가능하나, 설치 시점의 SMP 및 REC 가격에 영향을 받게 된다는 한계가 있다. REC 가격 상승과 감소에 따라서 시기별 최적용량이 바뀌어 설치비율이 계속 달라질 수 있어 정책변화에 의해 기술의 적용이 달라지는 결과를 가져온다. 따라서, 향후 제도개선을 모색할 경우에는 연계형 BESS 가치평가시, 신재생전원과의 BESS의 발전량 분할로 인해 발생하는 정책지원에 대한 기술 의존성을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 고려하는 연구개발이 필요하다.

Concentrated solar power(CSP) is receiving attention for its ability to generate dispatchable power from heat stored in thermal energy storage(TES). There are currently four types of CSP technology, however experts expect that only parabolic trough and solar tower are to survive from the market due to its higher efficiency and larger capacity in storage. While the initial cost for installing CSP plant is still expensive, the experts expect that investment cost of CSP would decline to the level which would be competitive with PV or wind in the near term future. In addition, further growth in its installation capacity is expected due to the United States and China's aggressive investments in CSP.

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.

에너지저장장치(ESS)는 전력수급 불균형 해소, 신재생에너지의 출력안정, 주파수 조정용 등 전력공급 안정성 향상 및 효율적 전기에너지사용 등에 기여하는 중요자원으로, 전세계적으로 '23년까지 '14년 설치용량의 약 30배가 증가한 55.9GWh의 보급이 전망되고 있다. 이와 같이 급증하는 세계시장에서 국내 ESS 업계의 경쟁력 확보를 위해서는 자국내 설치실적(Track Record) 확보가 필요한데, 우리나라는 주파수 조정용(FR용(用))과 그간 지속되어 왔던 전력수급 불균형 상황에 대비하기 위한 부하이동용 중심으로 ESS를 보급하여 왔다. 하지만, 주파수 조정용의 경우 통상적으로 화력발전소 정격용량의 약 5% 범위에서 설치효용이 발생하는 것으로 평가되고 있어, 화력발전이 비약적으로 증가하지 않는 한 국내 시장의 확장성이 부족하다고 할 수 있으며, 여유로운 예비력 확보정책에 따라 부하이동용에 대해서도 보급필요성이 저하되고 있는 바, 새로운 방식의 보급확대 대상이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 유망한 신규보급대상은 간헐적 출력의 약점은 있으나, 신기후체제 대응과 산업육성을 위해 지속적으로 추진예정인 신재생에너지와의 연계설치를 통해 신재생에너지의 출력을 안정화 하고, 신재생에너지 발전량의 계통투입시기 조절을 통한 이산화탄소 저감효과를 기대할 수 있는 분야라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 향후 에너지정책의 최대 화두인 신기후체제 대응을 위한 온실가스 감축수단을 활용할 수 있도록, 태양광 연계형 ESS 충방전모드를 온실가스 저감효과를 고려토록 설계한 후, 투자유도를 위한 REC 가중치 산정방법에 대한 정책대안을 제시하였다.
