Levelized generation cost(LGC) has been widely used in assessing feed-in tariffs(FiT) for electricity generating from new and renewable energies. Current FiTs for renewable electricity in Korea have been fixed and applied with realistic economic data by the efforts of KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute) since October 2006. Some critical issues on the estimation of LGC are, however, found in KERI's report. Major issues are the estimation of capital cost, the consideration of corporate tax, and the application of economic life cycle in the formulae for LGC. These critical issues are examined and interpreted in a correct way in this paper.

In 2012, Korea introduced a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) scheme, replacing the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme as a market support policy of renewable energy in the electricity market. RPS is to allocate obligatory quota of renewable energy sources for electricity suppliers, whereas FIT is to guarantee high prices for electricity from renewable energy sources. This study examines the effect of this policy change on solar photovoltaic market. According to the study, solar PV market grew fast under FIT as well as under RPS. However, under RPS the size of subsidy for solar PV suppliers was shrunk substantially. In addition, market risk increased severly under RPS due to the volatility of price of renewable energy certificate (REC) as well as of the electricity market price. The small and medium suppliers of solar PV were suffered the most severly from these policy effects. Therefore, the policy reform of RPS is needed to alleviate the market risk of small and medium suppliers of solar PV.

원자력발전과 신재생에너지발전에 대하여 과학적, 객관적 검토없이 다양한 정책과 주장이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국가별 에너지정책을 조사 분석하고 총 34개의 가능한 전원구성 시나리오를 도출하였다. 이들 시나리오가 우리나라 전력정책에 도입될 경우를 가정하여 전력단가를 계산하였다. 전력단가 계산방법은 현재 우리나라 전력시장에서 사용하는 한계가격결정 방법을 사용하였고 발전원별로 표준건설비 및 운영비를 적용함으로써 계산을 단순화하였다. 계산결과 송배전 비용과 사업자의 이윤을 제외한 현행 전원 구성에 대한 전력단가는 평균 22.18원/kWh이고 전원구성비에 따라 19.74에서 164.07원/kWh까지 분포하였다. 원자력발전비율이 증가할수록 전력단가는 낮아졌고 신재생에너지 발전비율이 증가할수록 전력단가는 높아졌다. 주목할 만한 것은 신재생에너지 발전비율이 20%를 넘어서게 되면 값싼 기저발전을 활용할 수 없게 되어 전력수요가 적은 시간대에 전력단가가 오히려 상승하였다.

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.

Recently, Korea government decided to introduce RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) mechanism which requires electricity providers to gradually increase the amount of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, bioenergy, and geothermal. As a consequence, it is expected that the long-term fuel mix would be changed to result in more expensive production and the increased production costs would be distributed to the rate payers via electricity tariffs. This paper presents the change in long-term fuel mix in year 2020 with the four RPS scenarios of 3%, 5%, 10% and 20%, and the methodologies for collecting the increased production costs through new tariff schedule. The studies on long-term fuel mix have been carried out with the GATE-PRO (Generation And Transmission Expansion Program) optimization package, a mixed-integer program developed by the Korea Energy Economics Institute and Hongik university. Three methodologies for distributing the production costs to the rate payers have also been demonstrated.

RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standards)란 전력의 일정 양 또는 비율을 신$\cdot$재생에너지에 의하여 충당하도록 의무화하는 제도로써 정부지원에 의존한 신$\cdot$재생에너지 보급을 시장기능에 의하여 활성화하려는 새로운 정책도구이다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 RPS제도의 국내 도입에 대비하여 RPS의 기본 개념과 시장기구 하의 운용방식, 정책설계 시 고려사항 등을 살펴보았다. 이를 통하여 신$\cdot$재생에너지 전망 및 계획상의 문제점과 RPS도입에 따른 전력시장에서의 효과 등을 확인하고, 최종적으로는 향후 RPS도입을 위한 정책제언을 도출한다.

본 연구는 RPS 도입시 재생에너지 전력에 대한 소비자의 지불의사가 지역별로 달라지는지 조건부가치평가법(CVM)을 적용하여 분석하였다. 서울, 울산, 전라남도, 강원도의 총 600명의 응답자를 대상으로 재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액(WTP)을 도출한 결과, WTP 평균값은 서울 860.3원/월, 울산 1,677.3원/월, 전라남도 837.0원/월, 강원도 1,830.9원/월 수준으로 나타났다. 이 때, 전체 표본의 WTP 평균값과 개별 지역 표본의 WTP 평균값이 다르지 않다는 귀무가설을 기각하여, 지역별로 재생에너지 전력에 대한 선호가 달라짐을 보였다. 또한 재생에너지 전력에 대한 지역별 WTP의 차이는 저항응답 비율, 재생에너지 시설 인근 경험 및 재생에너지 시설 입지에 관한 수용성 등의 지역별 차이에서 기인하는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 베이지언 확률적 동태일반균형(DSGE) 모형을 이용하여 재생에너지 보급 정책이 거시경제에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전통적 발전원(원자력·화력)과 재생에너지 발전원 간 불완전 대체적 관계를 활용하여 재생에너지 발전산업 고유의 기술진보만으로는 에너지 전환에 따른 국가 전체의 온실가스 감축 목표를 달성하기 어려우며, 산업 전반적인 온실가스 감축 기술이 함께 향상될 때 비로소 온실가스 배출량이 감축된다는 점을 보였다. 전력시장 경직성에 의하여 발전사업자의 투자에 대한 합리적 보상이 이루어지지 않는 상황에서는 오히려 총소비가 위축되는 결과가 도출되었다.

Introducing renewable energy sources, such as wind and photovoltaic arrays, in microgrids that supply remote regions with electricity represents a significant leap in electricity generation. Combining photovoltaic panels and diesel engines is one of the most common ways to supply electricity to rural communities. Such hybrid systems can reduce the cost of electricity generation in these remote power systems because they use free energy to balance the power generated by diesel engines. However, the combination of renewable energy sources and diesel engines tends to complicate the sizing and control of the entire system due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. This study sought to investigate this issue in depth. It proposes a robust hybrid controller that can be used to facilitate optimum power sharing between a PV power source and diesel generators based on the dynamics of the available PV energy at any given time. The study also describes a hybrid PV-diesel power plant's essential functional parts that produce electricity for a microgrid using a renewable energy source. Power control needs to be adjusted to reduce the cost of power generation.

The objectives of this study are to analyze the energy independence plan and to propose a suitable sewage treatment plant in Korea. The total amount of electricity consumption for public sewage treatment plant was estimated as 1,182 GWh in 2007. It was estimated that total 16 sewage treatment plants with renewable energy systems produced electricity of 15.2 GWh per year, which could replaced 0.8% of total electricity used for sewage treatment. It was found that domestic sewage treatment plants with power generation plants by digestion gas were installed in 7 places and produced electricity of 13 GWh per year. It was also found that the power generation plants by digestion gas were the most cost-effective for sewage treatment out of the renewable energy systems based on the benefit-cost analysis.
