This study proposes polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) based cogeneration system for greenhouse heating and cooling. The main scope of this study is to examine the proposed cogeneration system's suitability for the 660 m²-class greenhouse. A 25 kW PEMFC system generates electricity for two identical air-cooled heat pumps, each with a nominal heating capacity of 70 kW and a cooling capacity of 65 kW. Heat recovered from the fuel cell supports the heat pump, supplying hot water to the greenhouse. In cooling mode, the adsorption system provides cold water to the greenhouse using recovered heat from the fuel cell. As a result, the cogeneration system satisfies both heating and cooling capability, performing 175 and 145 kW, respectively.

Recently, the demand for high penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in a power system is increased. In consequence, distribution systems including microgrids confront the increased installation of VRE-based distributed generation. Despite of the high demand of VRE-based distributed generation in a distribution system, the installation of photovoltaic (PV) system in a distribution system has been restricted by various problems. In other words, the hosting capacity for high VRE penetration in a distribution system is limited. This paper analyzes the improvements of hosting capacity VRE penetration of stand-alone microgrid (SAMG) with energy storage system (ESS) by considering virtual-slack (VS) control based on power sensitivity. With the pre-defined power sensitivity, the ESS operates as virtual slack in the SAMG by controlling its bus voltage and phase angle indirectly. Therefore, the ESS enables the increase of VRE penetration in the SAMG. The proposed VS control is realized by analyzing the ESS as a virtual slack in power flow analysis based on power sensitivity. Then its validity is demonstrated with the case study on the SAMG in South Korea with practical data.

In 2013, a total capacity of 591.3 MW of installed wind power generation was achieved in Korea, with a total of 1,139 MWh of wind energy generated that year. More wind power plants will be installed in the coming years, and it is important to develop methods to reduce the output variability of these resources so as to provide stable power to the power grid of Korea. In this regard, this paper proposes the use of energy storage system (ESS) as a means to stabilize the output variability of wind power plants. Presented in this paper is a method that uses Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to determine the ESS capacity needed to provide a stable power output for ancillary services such as frequency regulation, economic dispatch, and emergency reserves. In the first step of the proposed method, four regions (namely, Samdal, Yeongdeok, Yeongyang, and Gangwon) in Korea that had the most wind power generation capacity were selected for analysis. In the second step, the individual and aggregated wind power outputs of the selected regions in 2013 were obtained This information was then used in the third step, where DFT analysis of the power outputs was used to drive the magnitudes of the output variation. And finally, the ESS capacity requirements needed to provide different ancillary services were determined based on the magnitudes of the output variation.

Korea's RPS, which requires that power generation companies obtain a minimum percentage of their generation by using renewable energy, will take effect in 2012. Based on the first-year law enforcement, generation companies have to satisfy 2% of RPS compliance ratio in 2012. Then, the required RPS compliance ratio will increase up to 10% in 2022. Thus generation companies need to construct power plants that utilize various types of renewable energy sources such as PV and wind power. This work is aimed to analyze the cost of such a renewable power source in terms of capital cost, capacity factor, and fuel cost. We provide the analytical expectation on the renewable power generation cost of 2012 focusing on PV, onshore/offshore wind, fuel cell, and IGCC, which are focused by government policy.

Considering that the output voltage and current of a single PV panel are limited in PV power generation, a PV array should be constructed by connecting several PV panels in series and parallel to meet the required voltage/power levels for power generation capacity. When a PV array is partially shaded, the maximum power generation depends on the configuration of a PV array and the presence or absence of blocking diodes. This study considers six PV array configurations and the presence or absence of blocking diodes. An optimum connection structure was proposed to maximize power generation in a partial shadow condition. Results were verified through simulation and an experiment.

도서 지역과 같은 환경에서 기존 상용 독립계통 디젤 발전기에서 소모되는 화석연료를 저감하기 위해 독립계통 용량의 40% 이상을 부담하는 태양광발전시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 이러한 개발을 위해 우선적으로 도서 지역에 설치된 독립계통의 안정성을 향상시키고 고품질의 전력을 부하에 공급해줄 수 있는 대용량 인버터 개발이 필요하다. 또한, 독립계통 태양광 발전시스템을 위한 EMS용 발전제어 시스템은 태양광 발전원 계통과 연계된 디젤 발전기의 병렬운전 전력제어시스템으로서 부하율과 태양광발전에 따른 디젤 발전기 출력을 제어하여 해당 부하에 전력을 안정적으로 공급하는 시스템이 필요하다. 이러한 독립계통형 태양광 발전시스템으로 인해 독립계통 지역에 대한 태양광 보급 확대 및 독립계통의 전력안정도를 증가시킬 수 있으며 독립계통의 유 무효 전력 제어에 따른 화석연료 사용 저감이 추가적으로 기대되며, PCS 사용률의 증가로 경제성 조기 확보를 기대할 수 있다.

Hydrogen production, hydrogen production cost, and utilization rate were calculated assuming four cases of hydrogen production system in combination of photovoltaic power generation (PV), water electrolysis system (WE), battery energy storage system (BESS), and power grid. In the case of using the PV and WE in direct connection, the smaller the capacity of the WE, the higher the capacity factor rate and the lower the hydrogen production cost. When PV and WE are directly connected, hydrogen production occurs intermittently according to time zones and seasons. In addition to the connection of PV and WE, if BESS and power grid connection are added, the capacity factor of WE can be 100%, and stable hydrogen production is possible. If BESS is additionally installed, hydrogen production cost increases due to increase in Capital Expenditures, and Operating Expenditure also increases slightly due to charging and discharging loss. Even in a hydrogen production system that connects PV and WE, linking with power grid is advantageous in terms of stable hydrogen production and improvement of capacity factor.

본 연구에서는 의사결정기관의 상대적 효율성을 측정할 수 있는 유용한 기법으로 알려진 DEA 모형을 이용하여 국내 6개 발전회사의 효율성을 비교 분석하였다. 투입방향 CCR 및 BCC 모형에 의해서 분석된 연구 결과로는 첫째, 총 발전설비용량을 투입변수로 사용하였을 때와 각 발전원별로 설비용량을 구분하여 투입변수로 사용하였을 때와 서로 다른 연구결과를 얻었다. 이는 각 발전설비의 고정비(발전설비)와 변동비(연료비) 특성이 감안된 결과로 생각된다. 둘째, 본 연구에서 논의된 발전원별 투입변수가 중장기 발전설비용량 확장계획 기간의 효율성 평가에 사용되면 각 발전회사의 효율성은 현재 수준보다 높아질 것이다. 본 연구는 발전회사의 효과적인 경영활동을 위한 유익한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
