This paper describes a design strategy at conceptual design stage using RETScreen software tool for building application of renewable energy resources. Currently, government and public buildings are required to adopt renewable energy systems with a minimum requirement for the amount of renewable energy supply. Meanwhile, there is a certificate program for private office buildings to enhance propagation of renewable energy systems. When considering application of renewable energy systems to a building, it is worthwhile developing a method to determine optimal design sizes of renewable energy systems. In the paper, a design strategy is introduced with a couple of case studies to determine optimal capacities of each renewable energy system in a building and suggest to use the method to evaluate the system for the building certificate program and the mandatory renewable target program. Objective functions considered in the study are initial system cost and reduction of CO2 emissions from the system. In the optimization study, it is assumed that solar thermal collectors are installed to satisfy solar fraction of 60%. Other renewable energy systems such as ground-source heat pump, solar PV and non-renewable systems such as electric chiller and gas-fired boiler are sized using an optimal sizing method with RETScreen suggested the authors previously.

New renewable energy information becomes one of the greatest issues all over the world because of serious environment problems and limited fossil resources. The new renewable energy source information system is treated seriously for efficient management and distribution as dealing with these energy problems. However, it is difficult to manage and utilize new renewable energy information because gathering and surveying information is progressed individually in each research field. Therefore this paper will establish ISP(Information strategy Planning) and propose the basic management system based-on GIS to analyze new renewable energy such as solar energy, wind power, small hydro, biomass, geothermal etc. and build the integration management system. The proposed integration management system can provide spatial analysis using thematic map, data search, data import/export and interpolation about users quenes.

Recently, the attention to renewable energy has increased globally because of the environmental issue and the global energy crisis. Accordingly, south korea is focused on increasing the renewable energy usage. And the government enforced a law to the public buildings to install the renewable energy facilities. In this study, the building to evaluate renewable energy consumption and supply ratio was selected. This building has 9.79% of renewable energy supply ratio by PV system. In this study, the method for improving renewable energy supply ratio was analyzed using additional PV system. And The 5 methods to increasing electricity were evaluated. The method of increase 4.24 times PV arrays area is most efficient way to increase the renewable supply ratio. The case 1, show that the increasing renewable energy supply ratio of 39.2% compared to exsiting PV system. The result of the above, consider the additional supply of renewable energy.

New and renewable energy information becomes one of the greatest issues because of serious environment problems and limited fossil resources. However, There are few system to manage and utilize new and renewable energy information efficiently. Therefore this study establish the GIS based Resource Map System to save and analyze new and renewable energy information about solar energy, wind power, small hydro, biomass, and geothermal. This Resource Map System is composed of the management system, practical system, field system, and Web-service system. This System can provide various spatial analysis tools such as data searching, creating thematic maps, evaluating location requirements for energy facilities.

The supply rate of renewable energy has been increasing under the influence of an energy scarcity. Government has supported the use of renewable energy by government subsidies. The operation of renewable may not been operating appropriately, although increasing the use of renewable energy. We found out some problems of the operation of renewable energy and offered some improvements. This research proposes the efficient operation method for the solar thermal system, and proposed operation method was compared and evaluated with existing operation strategy after selecting one building installed solar thermal system. Recently, the interest to renewable energy has increased because of the environmental issues and energy crisis. However the utilization of the renewable energy system is low because of the use of renewable energy system and existing renewable energy system independently, although supply rate of renewable system is increasing. Especially, in the case of solar thermal system heating load is not responsible for the load of hot water supply in many cases. Therefore, suggesting efficient operation plans and evaluations of the energy consumption and efficiency of a solar thermal system is needed.

There are many activities involved in promoting renewable energy technologies. These include governments, the renewable energy manufacturing and service industries, energy supply companies, investors, researchers, non-government organizations and customers. For a sustainable renewable energy market, finding a promising industry is essential. The industry has made significant progress in recent years, considering the fact that today's renewable energy market is relatively small. This paper analyses the technology market of renewable energy, focusing on photovoltaic system, fuel cell, wind system. It appears that there has been remarkable progress in renewable energy systems. Besides, developed countries are effectively increasing the share of niche market and promoting renewable energy worldwide.

An energy storage system consisting of a battery and a power-to-methanol (PtM) unit was investigated to develop an energy storage system for renewable energy systems. A nonlinear programming model was established to optimize the energy storage system. The optimal installation capacities of the battery and power-to-methanol units were determined to minimize the cost of the energy system. The cost from a renewable energy system was assessed for four configurations, with or without energy storage units, of the battery and the power-to-methanol unit. The proposed model was applied to the modified electricity supply and demand based on published data. The results show that value-adding units, such as PtM, need be included to build a stable renewable energy system. This work will significantly contribute to the advancement of electricity supply and demand management and to the establishment of a nationwide policy for renewable energy storage.

The expanding significance of energy storage (ES) technology is increasing the acceptability of power systems by augmenting renewable energy supply. To deploy such ES technologies, we must select the optimal technology that meets the requirements of the system and confirm the technical and economic feasibility of the business model based on it. Herein, we propose a method and tool for selecting the optimal ES technology suitable for meeting the requirements of the system, based on its performance characteristics. The method described in this study can be used to discover and apply various ES technologies and develop business models with excellent economic feasibility.
