While the renewable energy portfolio standard (RPS) is in place to expand the scale of renewable energy generation, the power producer can obtain the renewable energy credit (REC) and use it as an incentive to operate the facility. RECs secured by solar power generation can be traded through spot market or fixed price contracts, and, in the spot market trading, power producers are exposed to the uncertainty of REC spot price. In this study, real option analysis is conducted to analyze the optimal threshold of REC spot price for the conversion of REC trading method by power producer considering the uncertainty of REC spot price. We calculated the optimal threshold of REC spot price that can convert the trading method of REC from spot market to fixed price contract. In conclusion, the spot market trading is a rational trading method when considering the uncertainty of REC price, but the fixed price bidding is a rational trading method when not considering the uncertainty of REC price.

Recently, regulation on carbon emissions has been strengthened according to the new climate change convention (COP21) held in Paris, and then Korea has decided to reduce CO2 emissions by 37% until 2030. As one of countermeasures, the government has energetically performed demonstration projects of island micro-grid including solar power, wind power and energy storage system. However, in order to smoothly introduce island micro-grid, it is a critical issue to carry out the economic evaluation for power utility aspect and independent power producer aspect. Therefore, this paper proposes economic evaluation algorithms of island micro-grid which are based on the present worth method, considering cost and benefit factors in the aspect of both sides. Firstly, in case of power utility this paper proposes algorithm to estimate a period of return on investment according to the introduction capacity of distributed generators replacing diesel generator. And also, in case of independent power producer, this paper proposes evaluation algorithm to estimate weighting factor of SMP and benefit rate based on break-even point related with cost and benefit. From a case study result on real island micro-grid model, it is confirmed that proposed algorithms are useful and practical for the economic evaluation of island micro-grid.

For a long time, dramas that everyone has enjoyed at home have become the most popular cultural contents due to the development of digital technology and the influence of Hallyu.(Korean Wave) This study was conducted in-depth interviews and participatory observations on the background, role, identity, and labor experience of TV planning producers who appeared in the drama production process with the implementation of outsourcing production policy in 1991. The number of dramas produced increased sharply in the mid-2000s due to the Korean Wave. Against this backdrop, the planning producer has expanded their scope in the drama production process and emerged as a new drama producer. The planning producer plays a role in creating an environment in which writers and directors can be selected with the identity of "not a creator but a producer of dramas" and lead drama planning. OTT and watching TV on the Internet have made it possible to watch dramas without TV. As this phenomenon accelerates and becomes commonplace, fewer consumers adhere to the traditional way of watching dramas using TV, and consumers' emotional tastes become more demanding. In this environment, TV planning producers are leading the production of dramas, exerting as much influence as writers and directors. They are also building new power relationships among drama producers by securing planning and financial power.

The photovoltaic(PV) generation system have recently become widely used to solve the environmental problems and running out of fossil fuels. However, the study on maintenance is inadequate for PV system. This paper proposes the novel diagnosis method of output power decline to maintain the normal output performance of PV array. The diagnosis method used the proportional relation of irradiation-output current(S-I) of PV array at maximum power point(MPP). And, first order polynomial using the relation is proposed to easily apply PV system. To estimate the relation in case of separation of PV array producer and diagnosis system producer. Kalman Filter algorithm is also proposed at 30.2kW grid-connected PV system. Then, the performance of diagnosis method is evaluated using the hardware tests as well as the simulation.

Producer prices of raw milk include following elements: a basic price, payment according to fat content, payment according to bacteriological quality and somatic cell count. The quality of raw milk has increased since last change of payment system according somatic cell count. But last change of payment system according to fat content is not effective. It is necessary to widen the range of equal price by fat content. Also it is necessary to include payment according to protein content.

This paper investigates the determinants for the controlling power and the concentration of the subcontracting trade between the downstream producer and the upstream supplier using a survey data for the IT industry in Gyeonggi-Do. The estimation results of the ordered logit and least square analyses are as follows. First, a firm. s controlling power across the downstream producer and the upstream supplier in the subcontracting trade would grow bigger when the company is bigger, more manufacture-oriented, and has higher ratio of export in sales. Second, the analysis for the upstream suppliers indicates that the higher dependent ratio of the subcontracting trade in the sales, the lower the concentration ratio of the R&D in the sales. Lastly, the analysis of the downstream producers indicates that the higher the dependent ratio of the subcontracting trade in the sales, the higher the concentration ratio of the R&D in the sales, which is distinctively contrast with the analysis result of the upstream suppliers. The overall estimation results are, hence, unsupporting to the transaction cost theory which predicts the increase of R&D investments in both downstream producer and upstream supplier.

Credit enhancement is absolutely essential for financing Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects in Asia particularly for countries whose sovereign credit rating is on non-investment grade and foreign investment is difficult to achieve. Due to nexus of agreements among varies parties in IPP project, it is hard to clearly visualize the roles of these agreements. Examples are: What credit enhancement factors are most influential to minimize the associated risks of IPP projects? Why are they powerful? What are their roles? Who are less powerful and what are the obstacles that causes them less powerful? A research is conducted to identify the credit enhancement factors for IPP projects in Asia. IPP professionals validated 27 out of 28 identified credit enhancement factors, and five factor groupings were made through factor analysis. Afterwards, network theory is applied to find the unanswered questions, which by graphical and mathematical representations show that the host government's credit enhancement, MDBs, ECAs and other parties' credit enhancement are prominent and of great importance to handle the associated risks of IPP projects in Asia
