Ministry of Commerce, Industry [MOCIE] has taken it into consideration to introduce a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that is a purchase obligation program as an alternative plan to the FIT. We conducted a survey of renewable energy companies and experts to ask their opinions about renewable energy policy, the introduction of the RPS, and the scheme for aid of North Korea with renewable energy. Korean renewable energy companies show an impartial opinion about a FIT and a RPS system overall, although they tend to have distinctive opinions by technology each other. With respect to eligible resources for a RPS, the industries want to extend the scope of it as broad as possible. In addition, experts prefer the multi-tiered and energy production based RPS to the sing1e-tiered and installed capacity based RPS. We also conducted a surrey to find the best renewable energy sources. Wind, Geothermal, Solar-thermal, and Photovoltaic were selected to have the best potential capacities to support North Korea by renewable energy experts. However, these energy resources also have several problems to overcome in the aid of North Korea, and thus, the plans for solving them and for giving efficient support to North Korea in the area of Renewable Energy are discussed.

본 논문에서는 2012년 시행된 신재생에너지공급의무화제도(RPS)에 따른 민간발전사들의 RPS 의무이행 현황을 알아보고 신재생에너지 공급인증서의 발급량 부족 및 거래시장에서의 심한 가격변동을 발전사업자들의 RPS 이행시 장애요인으로 분석하였다. RPS시행 이전에 추진하여 최근 준공한 동두천복합발전소에 대한 RPS이행방안 구성결과 연평균 약 334억원의 의무이행비용이 산출되었으며, 해당비용을 당초 사업타당성 검토 기초자료에 반영한 결과 내부수익률이 계획대비 31.8% 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 신재생에너지 의무공급량의 비율이 해마다 증가하여 2024년부터는 전년도 발전량의 10%를 신재생에너지로 공급해야 하는데 RPS 의무공급 대상자로의 편입 초기부터 10%의 의무공급량을 이행해야 하는 신규 발전소의 경우 의무이행비용 과다로 사업성은 더욱 낮아지므로 의무공급량의 비율을 기존의 12단계에서 17단계로 완화하는 방안을 제시하였다. 즉, 동두천복합발전소의 이행비용을 기준으로 최초 2%부터 매년 0.5%씩 점진적으로 10%까지 높였을 때 내부수익률은 6.23%로써 처음부터 10%의 비율로 공급할 경우 산출한 내부수익률 4.18%보다 약 49%의 사업성 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있어 제도개선이 민간발전사업 촉진에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

In power supply systems for urban areas, issues such as a progressive tax have escalated recently. In this regard, photovoltaic power generation, which is appraised as an alternative power generation system, is drawing attention increasingly for its high stability and applicability to existing infrastructure. This study assessed the realistic feasibility of photovoltaic power generation and also analyzed the economic benefits expected when it is linked with green roof, which is likely to promote ecological functions in urban areas, based on the Seoul solar map, RPS, and actual monitoring data. The economics analysis of 30kW photovoltaic power generation applied with the monthly average horizontal solar radiation of six grades in the Seoul solar map showed that positive NPV was up to grade 4, while grade 5 or poorer showed negative NPV and indicated that it is difficult to assure appropriate feasibility. Compared with non-afforestation, when green roof was applied, monthly average power improvement efficiency was 7.2% at highest and 3.7% at lowest based on yearly actual monitoring data. The annual average was 5.3%, and the efficiency was high relatively in summer, including September and November. As for the economic benefits expected when 30kw photovoltaic power generation is combined with green roof based on the average horizontal solar radiation of grade 1 in the Seoul solar map, SP has improved 0.2 years to 7.4 years, and EP has improved 0.5 years to 8.3 years.

In line with the international community's movement to reduce greenhouse gas emission, Korea implemented FIT(Feed in Tariff) in 2002 as part of its renewable energy development project. Although the policy had shifted to full-scale RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standards) in 2012, policymakers are still seeking changes due to policy ineffectiveness. While previous studies explain sudden policy changes through external factors, recent research sheds light on internal factors in the process of policy transition. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that are responsible for rapidly changing policies in latecomer nations. In order to find this, we look at the case of transition from the FIT to the RPS in Korea's expansion of renewable energy policy. As a result of the research, it is confirmed that the Top-Down decision making system of Korea and the external regulatory change cause rapid policy transition. By looking at these variables, we propose useful implications for policymakers to minimize the policy failure in future policy design and evolution.

Cloud computing helps big data processing to make various information using IT resources. The government has to start the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) and induce the production of electricity using renewable energy equipment. And the government manages system to gather big data that is distributed geographically. The companies can purchase the REC(Renewable Energy Certificate) to other electricity generation companies to fill shortage among their duty from the system. Because of the RPS use voluntary competitive market in REC trade and the prices have the large variation, RPS is necessary to predict the equitable REC price using RPS big data. This paper proposed REC price prediction method base on fuzzy logic using the price trend and trading condition infra in REC market, that is modeled in cloud computing environment. Cloud computing helps to analyze correlation and variables that act on REC price within RPS big data and the analysis can be predict REC price by simulation. Fuzzy logic presents balanced REC average trading prices using the trading quantity and price. The model presents REC average trading price using the trading quantity and price and the method helps induce well-converged price in the long run in cloud computing environment.

Korean government set the goal of 5.6% to use renewable energy in electricity generation by 2011 compared with the current use of 0.13%. To achieve this goal, an innovative plan for market competitiveness would be required in addition to the feed-in-tariff [FIT] which is carried out at present in Korea. As a countermeasure, Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy [MOCIE] has taken it into consideration to introduce a Renewable Portfolio Standard [RPS] that is a purchase obligation program as an alternative plan to the FIT. Furthermore, the active renewable energy market may result from and also reversely result in the aid of North Korea with renewable energy. In this paper, we review The RPS in several country cases. Plans, systems, markets and institutionalization for solving efficiency in the area of renewable energy are discussed.

Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a regulatory policy that requires the generation companies to increase the proportion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, LFG, fuel cell, and small hydro. Recently, Korean government decided to increase the portion of renewable energy to 3% to total electricity generation by 2012 from the current level of 0.13%. To achieve this goal, an innovative plan for market competitiveness would be required in addition to the present Feed-In-Tariff (FIT). That is Korean government has taken it into consideration to introduce a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) as an alternative to FIT. This paper reviews the impact of RPS on the long-term fuel mix in 2020. The studies have been carried out with the GATE-PRO (Generation And Transmission Expansion PROgram) program, a mixed-integer non-linear program developed by Hongik university and Korea Energy Economics Institute. Detailed studies on long-term fuel mix in Korea have been carried out with four RPS scenarios of 3%, 5%, 10% and 20%. The important findings and comments on the results are given to provide an insight on future regulatory policies.

At the moment, in Korea, over 90% of energy resources depend on imports, and nearly 60% of electric energy is produced using fossil fuel. Therefore, the government adopted the Climatic Change Convention and has implemented the RPS system since 2012 to actively cope with the dependence on imported energy, and to grow and expand the new renewable energy industry. This study examined the performance results of mandatory supply of solar photovoltaic energy and non-solar photovoltaic energy assigned to providers and the present state after implementation of the RPS system. As a result, the achievement rate in 2012 was 64.7%. Especially, solar photovoltaic energy showed a high achievement rate of 95.7%, whereas non-solar photovoltaic energy showed a low achievement rate of 63.3% due to several problems and was highly dependent on the government. In 2013, the burden of each provider has increased due to more mandatory supply and addition of unfulfilled supply of 2012, and the separate mandatory supply of solar photovoltaic energy established for protection of the solar photovoltaic market is restricting investment. Therefore, there is a need to assign mandatory supply in consideration of the available amount of each new renewable energy.

우리나라는 2012년부터 신재생에너지 공급의무화제도(Renewable Portfolio Standards, RPS)의 도입을 확정하였다(지식경제부 고시 제2010-244호). RPS 제도는 기존의 발전사업자에게 총 발전량 중 일정량 이상을 신재생에너지 전력으로 공급토록 의무화하는 제도이다. RPS의 도입을 통해 일차적으로 신재생에너지의 보급 확대를 도모할 수 있으며, 부차적으로 신재생에너지 공급확대의 비용의 소비자 귀착을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구는 RPS 제도로 인한 신재생에너지 보급확대의 비용이 소비자에게 전가된다는 가정 하에, 조건부가치평가법(Contingent valuation)을 적용하여 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액(Willingness to pay)을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주된 목적은 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액을 분석하는 데 있어 지역별로 어떠한 차이가 나타나는지 알아보는 데 있다. 이에, 서울, 울산, 강원도, 전라남도의 4개 지역을 설문대상 지역으로 선정하였다. 서울은 신재생에너지를 포함한 에너지 관련 시설에 대한 경험이 거의 없는 비교군에 해당하며, 강원도와 전라남도는 신재생에너지의 이용이 활발한 지역을 대표하는 대조군에 해당된다. 울산은 신재생에너지 이용이 활발하지는 않으나 굴지의 산업단지가 입지한 지역으로, 대형 에너지 관련 시설에 대해 특수한 선호를 보일 것이라 추측되어 대조군으로 선정하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 4개 지역의 주민들을 대상으로 조건부가치평가법을 적용한 설문조사를 시행하여 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액을 도출한 후, 이를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 신재생에너지에 관련된 경험이 선호에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악할 수 있으며, 도출된 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액은 향후 RPS 정책 도입시 전기요금 산정 관련 논의의 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
