Global warming, which is one of the most serious challenges, has been the subject of intense debate and concern for many scientists, policy-makers, and citizens for at least the past decade. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations, we must reduce our emissions like carbon dioxide. Alternatives to achieve an energy future without serious global warming are to change to clean and renewable sources of energy like the wind, the sun lights, rivers, the biomass, hydrogen, and oceans. To identify some of the key and new environmental impacts associated with renewable energy and hydrogen energy, we set up the new conceptual methodology. Specifically, new identified environmental and health impacts are related with the usage of hydrogen energy. When comparing with fossil fuel, the renewable energies can reduce the release of carbon dioxide when they are used except hydrogen produced from fossil fuel. However, all renewable energy technologies are not appropriate to all applications or locations. Our results suggest that all of alternatives to replace fossil fuel can release the several global and local impacts although they seems to be smaller than the impacts from fossil fuel. Therefore, the quantitative and detail analysis to assess environmental impacts of the alternative energies might be useful to make our decision for the future energy against the global warming.

Recently the Korean government also has strictly restricted a law such as GBCC(Green Building Certification Criteria)and RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) on the construction. Especially the government announced a obligation of renewable energy consumption over 12% for all the public buildings of total area over 1,000㎡ since 2014. Regarding to the policy, this study presented the economics of energy analysis of the public office buildings that supplies 12% renewable energy output in the early stage of construction project. This paper calculated on CO₂ emission by the geothermal, solar heat, and solar photovoltaic system and estimated the saving cost. Reduced cost through the energy saving are predicted to influence on the total construction cost. As a result air pollution and energy saving cost are expected that renewable energy system would be saving total initial cost of construction on planning phase.

A private company's 1,000 MW coal-fired power plant will be the first coal-fired power plant that was included in the 5th 'Basic Plan on Electricity Demand and Supply' (2010). Now it is facing the task to abide by the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) policy after commercial operation. If they fail to supply the necessary REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) mandated by the RPS policy, they are subject to be fined by the government and forced to modify the cost function to reflect the burden. Eventually the company's coal-fired power plant will be forced to reduce generation to maximize profit because the amount of electricity generated by the power plant and the REC obligation is positively correlated. This paper analyzed the change of cost function of private coal-fired power plant according to the introduction of RPS policy from the viewpoint of private company, and finally proposed the optimal generation to maximize the profit of private coal-fired power plant under the current RPS policy.

Due to the international environmental regulations and changes in policies, the demand for generators using the renewable energy is increasing. However, renewable energy generators with intermittent output characteristics such as solar and wind power generators, need the buffer facilities such as ESS during system operations. However, because of low price competitiveness in energy storage system, it is difficult to operate the renewable energy generator with ESS. Therefore, the government has recently proposed a policy to compensate the REC for renewable energy system with ESS. For all this, since the initial cost of the ESS is high, it is the most important to calculate and operate the optimal capacity of the ESS through an economic analysis. In this paper, we proposed the method of calculation the optimal capacity of ESS and analyzed economic feasibility of renewable energy system using the ESS according to depreciation in ESS price.

본 논문은 효율적인 RPS 제도의 도입을 위해 현재 운영 중인 FIT 제도와 RPS 제도를 비교 분석하였다. 분석은 선형계획법을 이용하여 최소의 비용으로 신재생에너지 목표를 달성하는 발전원별 포트폴리오를 찾고, 이때의 최적 비용을 도출하여 비교한다. 비용은 신재생에너지 전력생산을 위한 건설 및 운영비용과 정부보조(FIT 제도) 또는 의무할당 전력회사의 부담(RPS 제도)으로 구성된다. FIT 모형은 전력의 시장가격 (SMP) 변화에 따라 최적해가 어떻게 달라지는지 민감도 분석을 하고, RPS 모형은 REC의 시장가격과 전력회사들의 인증서 구입비중에 따라 민감도 분석을 한다. 분석결과 RPS 제도는 FIT에 비해 비용이 많이 소요되고 특정 발전원에 집중되어 개발될 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전력생산자들은 의무이행을 위한 외부조달보다는 자체조달을 선호할 것으로 보인다. 이에 따라 태양광, 풍력과 같이 타 발전원에 비해 경쟁력이 부족한 에너지원의 개발수요를 창출하기 위해서는 기술개발과 함께 발전차액지원 등의 정부 지원정책이 병행되어야 할 것이다. 효과적인 RPS 제도의 도입을 위한 외부 조달 비율 가이드라인 제시는 국내 신재생에너지 기술개발 및 산업육성을 위해 필수적인 고려사항이 될 것이다. 국내 RPS 제도의 성공적인 도입을 위해서는 각 발전원별 특성과 경쟁력을 고려한 제도의 보완과 현행 FIT 제도와의 협력이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

2012년부터 재생에너지 확대 정책을 위한 주요 정책 수단으로서 채택하고 있는 신재생에너지 공급의무화 제도(RPS)는 발전원별 경쟁을 유도함과 동시에 정부의 재정부담을 줄일 수 있다는 명백한 장점을 가지고 있지만, 높은 가중치 및 국가 공급인증서(REC) 남용 등으로 양적 통제정책으로서의 정책 왜곡을 초래하였다. 이는, REC 인플레이션과 그에 상응하는 MWh 단위의 실질 신재생에너지발전 실적 하락으로 이어졌고, 그 결과 RPS 기간 전체 신재생 의무이행량의 27.8%가 실제로는 충족되지 못했음을 본고에서 최초로 밝힌다. 뿐만 아니라 현재의 REC 가치왜곡은 인접제도라고 할 수 있는 RE100과 온실가스 배출권거래제와의 상호호환이 불가능해지게 하는 문제도 초래한다.

The whole world concentrates on the reduction of greenhouse gas to effectively cope with policy toward global climate change. To effectively react to climate change, even the agricultural sector requires construction of new farming systems that utilizes new and renewable energy because of rising oil prices and regulations for greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, we need to fuse the new and renewable energy with the horticulture sector of which the light and heat energy cost accounts for great part, moreover, efforts and researches should me done which can increase income of farmers through reducing carbon dioxide and energy cost in agricultural production expenses. Therefore, this study analyzes economic feasibility and applicability of fusing geothermal heat pump and solar power facilities with high-tech glass greenhouse. As a result, it is concluded that there surely are an applicability and economic feasibility if we apply new development system that can be an alternative for problems of securing premises of existing geothermal heat pump and the RPS system as a power generation company in case of solar power. Therefore, using this analysis data, if new empirical studies fusing and implementing agriculture sector with new and renewable energy fields proliferate and be applied to actual rural and agricultural field, it will increase actual income and will become a new advanced agricultural system that effectively deals with world-wide environmental problems.

While protecting its lives and property from natural disasters such as floods and droughts, North Korea needs to develop into an informationized industrial society by securing renewable energy power in the era of energy transition. In addition, existing research has considered that a policy of continuous and consistent expansion of renewable energy based on the safety of the lives of ordinary people could be the solution. South Korea needs to recognize that the supply of energy for a minimum of living is more important to the North Korean people than the economic benefits of securing North Korea's renewable energy market. Therefore, in this paper, from that point of view, we have calculated the amount of electricity that North Korea lacks necessary for the lives of its inhabitants that can be replaced by renewable energy, and considered ways to estimate the market value.

Currently, the world is paying keen attention to the production of renewable energy along with environmental issues, and the share of renewable energy in the world is rising above that of nuclear power. Especially when Korea, which is heavily dependent on foreign countries, needs to reconsider its national competitiveness due to the recent high oil prices, the government's energy policy is to develop and use renewable energy that replaces fossil fuels. In particular, solar energy, the most actively studied and commercialized field of renewable energy, is the main research for solar energy and is commercialized and used. However, the efficiency of solar energy has already reached saturation. Studies are also focusing on increasing the reflectivity of solar energy to increase efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a solar collection system that can utilize solar energy rather than solar energy. The proposed solar heat collection system uses solar tracking systems to effectively collect solar energy, particularly those that can be easily produced using single-modular reflectors and have price competitiveness. In addition, temperature measurement experiments with temperature measuring sensors were conducted to ensure reliability in order to verify the results interpreted.

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.
