As a result of the Fukushima disaster and climate change due to excessive greenhouse gases, international energy affairs are currently focused on establishing safe and environment-friendly policies. To achieve this, Republic of Korea has established a plan for environment-friendly energy supplies. It is expected that policy enforcement will be accompanied by an increase in energy supply costs. An analysis of energy supply costs is necessary before the establishment of any national energy policy. This paper analyzes and compares the energy supply costs accompanying environmental and nuclear energy policies, based on the Korean National Energy Master Plan and the Basic Plan for Long-Term Electricity Supply and Demand, in order to understand the implications of these national energy policies.

우리나라는 "제 3차 신재생에너지 기술개발 및 이용 보급 기본계획"을 통해 2030년까지 111.5조 원을 투자하여 전체 에너지의 11%를 신재생에너지로 공급한다는 목표를 설정하였다. 그러나 신재생에너지는 기존의 원자력이나 화석에너지에 비하여 생산비용이 높아 보조나 융자 등의 정부지원에 의존하여 보급이 이루어져왔다. 신재생에너지 보급확대 및 산업발전을 위한 보급정책의 일환으로 정부는 2012년부터 RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard, 신재생에너지 공급의 무화제도)를 도입키로 확정하였다. RPS의 도입은 일정규모 신재생에너지 시장수요를 창출함과 동시에 신재생에너지원간 가격경쟁 구도 형성의 유인이 될 수 있다. 이는 전력가격 일괄상승 및 녹색가격제도(Green Pricing) 등의 정책적 논의로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 소비자 측면에서 신재생에너지 전력의 가치를 어떻게 평가하는지를 분석하여 RPS 시행제반의 정책적 논의의 기초자료를 마련할 필요가 있다. 특히 RPS는 신재생에너지원 간의 경쟁을 가능하게 하므로 개별 신재생에너지원에 따라 소비자 선호의 차이가 어떻게 나타나는지 연구되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 환경재 혹은 비시장재화의 가치추정에 가장 널리 활용되고 있는 조건부가치평가법(Contingent Valuation Method; CVM)을 적용하여 풍력, 태양광, 수력으로 생산한 전력에 대한 소비자의 지불의사액(Willingness to Pay; WTP)을 분석하는 모형을 수립하였다. 이를 위해 Zografakis et al.(2010), Yoo and Kwak(2009), 이창훈 황석준(2009), Nomura and Akai(2004), Bately et al.(2001) 등의 선행연구를 참조하여 신재생에너지 전력 가치의 설문에서 고려되어야 하는 요인들을 선정하였다. 이를 토대로 설문 시나리오를 작성하여 각 요인들이 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액 결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석가능한 모형을 설정하였다. 뿐만 아니라 기존 연구들이 신재생에너지로 생산된 일반적인 전력에 대한 지불의사액을 질문하는데 그쳤다면, 본 연구에서는 각 원별로 지불의사액의 차이를 도출할 수 있는 설문모형을 구축하는데 중점을 두었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 설문수행을 통하여 신재생에너지원별로 소비자의 선호를 분석할 수 있는 연구로 발전될 수 있으며, 이는 RPS 도입으로 인한 전력가격 정책 수립의 기초 연구자료로 활용될 수 있다 하겠다.

The project to utilize kenaf as thermal power plant fuel has a positive effect on the unused energy utilization, greenhouse gas reduction, and farm income. However, it is analyzed that it is difficult to secure economical efficiency because the fuel cost of kenaf is higher than that of power by thermal power plant and Renewable Energy Certification (REC). The project of power generation using kenaf is meet the government's major policies, while government support is essential for securing economical efficiency. As a result of the sensitivity analysis on the ratio of the government subsidies, to secure economical efficiency, the power generation prices using kenaf through the direct financial support of the government indicate that 47% and 76% of kenaf fuel cost are supported by government in case of the Saemangeum reclamation and Gangneung-si, respectively. In the case of the government indirect policy support, if kenaf is included as a renewable energy source of Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard and REC is granted, the economic efficiency of Saemangeum reclamation and Gangneung-si is obtained when REC secured at 1.05 or more and 2.43 or more, respectively. The results of this study are meaningful in that the direct and indirect effects of the government on the development of the herbaceous energy crop, kenaf, were evaluated economically. These results are to suggest the need for demonstration study, but economics analyze and evaluate are necessary based on operational data through the demonstration phase in the future.

For the dissemination of new and renewable energy, Korean government introduced a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) scheme in 2012 after terminating feed-in tariff (FIT) scheme that was introduced in 2004. With the RPS scheme, 64.7% of its own goal (95.7% in PV and 63.3% in non-PV) was achieved in 2012 and 67.2% of that (94.9% in PV, 65% in non-PV) was achieved in 2013. The deployment of PV systems met the goal very well and that of non-PV did not. Recently, Korean government revised the target year of supplying 10% electricity from new and renewable energy from 2022 to 2024 and released a couple of measures on PV area. Recent studies showed that the bankability of a project plays a key role for PV dissemination. Therefore, the dissemination should be assessed from the point of bankability under the RPS scheme and a little adjustment is necessary to achieve the goal. Especially, installing a small size PV (<100 kwp) system needs a minimum REC price or a FIT scheme. In non-PV area, permission process is a common bottleneck and the related regulation should be eased. In addition, to achieve the long term goal, an implementing scenario has to be prepared. Currently, the portion of the waste-gas energy originated from fossil fuel is too large among the new and renewable energy sources and the portion should be lowered or eliminated in the 10% of electricity supply goal. Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) has its own FIT scheme for PV dissemination from 2014 SMG and revised the PV tariff from 50 to 100 won/kwh in effective of 2015. It is worth to spread the other provinces.

대표적인 신$\cdot$재생에너지의 시장확대 정책으로 RPS와 기준가격의무구매제가 주요 선진국에서 실시되고 있으며 자국의 자원부존과 경제사회여건에 맞춰 적합한 정책수단을 선택하고 있음. RPS 실시국가에서 RPS는 특별법으로 제정되어 실시효과를 극대화하고 있으며, 신$\cdot$재생에너지발전 인중서의 거래를 포함시켜 시너지효과를 거두고 있음. RPS의 단일의 최적모델은 존재하지 않으며 기본설계와 세부사항은 각 국의 고유의 자원부존 여건 및 경제사회적 특징에 따라 달라짐. RPS의 국내도입이 전력시장과 국민경제에 미치는 영향은 그리 크지 않으며 외부효과를 감하면 편익을 초래함. 또한 수요조사결과 RPS에 대한 선호도가 비교적 높게 나타나며 산$\cdot$ 재생에너지발전의 시장확대 수단으로 높은 점수를 매기고 있음 그러나 RPS의 기본설계를 신중히 가져가야 할 것이며, 법제도 정비에 임해서는 기존에 실시되고 있는 기준가격우선구매제도(발전차액보전)의 고려해야 함.

최근 정부의 녹색성장 정책과 RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard)도입 계획에 따라 재생가능에너지 개발계획이 쏟아지고 있다. 특히 조력 발전의 경우, 시화, 가로림, 강화, 인천만 등 전 세계 최대 규모 타이틀을 서로 갱신하가며 서해바다를 중심으로 건설 계획이 집중되고 있다. 그러나 조수간만의 차이를 이용해 친환경 에너지원으로 인식되던 조력발전이 그 규모와 방식에 따라 환경파괴적 발전원으로 인식되고 있는 것도 현실이다. 갯벌소멸, 해양생태계 파괴, 해수면 상승 등 생태적 환경문제 야기와 더불어 지역 주민간의 사회환경적 갈등도 초래되고 있다. 본 논문은 국내 조력발전의 개발 계획과 과정을 살펴보고 생태적.사회적 환경영향 피해 점검을 통해, 바람직한 조력발전의 모습을 제시해 본다.

Recently, power plant effluent condensers received a Renewable Energy Certificate as components of hydrothermal energy (weighted 1.5 times) as one target item of the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) policy. Accordingly, more attention is being paid to the value of thermal wastewater as a heat source. However, for utilization of thermal wastewater from power plants in high-turbidity areas like the West Sea of Korea, a turbidity reducing system is required to reduce system contamination. In this study, an experimental test was performed over a month on thermal wastewater from power plants located in the West Sea of Korea. It was found that water turbidity was reduced by more than 80 % and that the concentration of organic materials and nutrient salts was partially reduced due to the reduction of floating/drifting materials. To conduct a comparative analysis of the level of contamination of the heat exchanger when thermal wastewater flows in through a turbidity reducing system versus when the condenser effluent flows in directly without passing through the turbidity system, we disassembled and analyzed heat exchangers operated for 30 days. As a result, it was found that the heat exchanger without a turbidity reducing system had a higher level of contamination. Main contaminants (scale) that flowed in to the heat exchanger included minerals such as $SiO_2$, $Na(Si_3Al)O_8$, $CaCO_3$ and NaCl. It was estimated that marine sediment soil flowed in to the heat exchanger because of the high level of turbidity in the water-intake areas.

There have been many studies of combustion in the circulating fluidized bed. However, little study is available for combustion of wood pellet together fed with wood chip. The mixed ratio of two fuels is an useful information when thermal power company would receive the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) from government. In this study, the combustion behavior and kinetics of such biomass fuels are evaluated using fluidized bed reactor and thermogravimetric analyzers. The mixing ratio of wood chip relative to wood pellet was varied at different temperatures. The results show that a combustion reactivity changed significantly at the wood chip mixing ratio of 40%, particularly at low temperature condition.
