Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the most promising method of treating and recycling of different organic wastes, such as OFMSW, household wastes, animal manure, agro-industrial wastes, industrial organic wastes and sewage sludge. During AD, i.e. degradation in the absence of oxygen, organic material is decomposed by anaerobes forming degestates such as an excellent fertilizer and biogas, a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane. AD has been one of the leading technologies that can make a large contribution to producing renewable energy and to reducing $CO_2$ and other GHG emission, it is becoming a key method for both waste treatment and recovery of a renewable fuel and other valuable co-products. A classification of the basic AD technologies for the production of biogas can be made according to the dry matter of biowaste and digestion temperature, which divide the AD process in wet and dry, mesophilic and thermophilic. The biogas produced from AD plant can be utilized as an alternative energy source, for lighting and cooking in case of small-scale, for CHP and vehicle fuel or fuel in industrials in case of large-scale. This paper provides an overview of the status of biogas production and utilization technologies.

Recently, because of the depletion of fossil fuels and the environmental pollution by using fossil fuels and harmfulness of atomic power plants. the interests concerning new and renewable energy resources are rising increasingly. And of all new and renewable energy sources the PV generation systems are recognized as the most useful and desirable renewable energy source in allowance for installation conditions. In this development, the 3kWp photovoltaic power generation system is realized to verify the performance of the 3kWp PCS developed by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. (HHI). The photovoltaic array used in this system is composed of 60 modules of 50Wp capacity. The developed system is tested as procedures and items of test regulation recognized by governmen and the experimental results show the excellent electrical characteristics. Now, the 3kWp PCS developed is installed in the PV model house built in HHI plant and is being tested for practical use commercialization.

As our government is actively introducing the RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standards) as a national renewable energy obligation policy, power producers are using the various renewable energy to meet the RPS supply quota since 2012. Recently, it is appling to use power bio-fuel oil in bio-fuel oil demonstration project with power companies. In general, power bio-fuel oils are composed of mixture products of vegetable oil, animal fat, fatty acid ester and waste oil. It is already developing for a power plant as a renewable energy abroad. In Korea, it is studying a 100% combustion and blended combustion of heavy fuel oil and bio-fuel oil. In this study, we investigated fuel characteristics of mixed power bio-fuel oil and its emission performance. Especially, it was reduced emissions of bio-oil in industrial boilers due to bio-fuel properties as compare with fuel oil.

An exhausted heat recovery system for a small gas engine cogeneration plant was investigated. The system was designed and built in a 300 kW class cogeneration demonstrative system. The basic performance was tested depending on load variation, and installed to a field site as a bottoming heat and power supply system. The exhaust gas heat exchangers (EGHXs) in shell-and-tube type and shell-and-plate type were tested. The entire efficiency of the cogeneration system was estimated between 85 to 90% under the 100% load condition, of which trend appears higher in summer due to the less thermal loss than in winter. Power generation efficiency and thermal efficiency was measured in a range of 31~33% and 54~57%, respectively.

The target for the reduction of $CO_2$ emissions, as specified in the Kyoto Protocol, can only be achieved by an extended use of renewable fuels and the increasing of the energy efficiency. The energy generation from waste gases with a reasonable content of methane like biogas can significantly contribute to reach this target. A further reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is possible by increasing the electrical efficiency using progressive technologies. Fuel cells can be highly energy conversion devices. Utilizing biogas as the fuel for fuel cell systems offers an option that is technically feasible, potentially economically attractive and greenhouse gas neutral. High temperature fuel cells that are able to operate with carbon monoxide in the feed are well suited to these applications. Furthermore, because they do not require noble metal catalysts, the cost of high-temperature fuel cells has the greatest potential to become competitive in the near future compared to other types of fuel cells.

Utilization of biomass as a substitute fuel for conventional energy systems have been grown larger everyday in the world. In particular, co-firing of biomass in a large coal power plant are common in Korea after the introduction of RPS since 2012, and the application of biomass-derived fuel is now spreading to district heating and power, industrial energy supply, and transportation sectors. For biomass to energy, appropriate conversion process is needed to satisfy the fuel requirements of a specific energy system. In this study, various kinds of thermochemical conversion technologies will be presented for renewable fuel productions from biomass.

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.

This study is to analyse the feasibility for providing Co-generation plant in Apartment Complex for 4 typical Apartment Complexes located Seoul metropolitan area, The selected complexes are three midium-large size Apartment[nearby 35pyoug of floor area] and one complex of small size Apartment[below 25 pyoung of floor area] for comparison. The necessary data for the study were collected with visitation of each site. The study showed very positive result for the three medium-large size Apartment Complexes of which the average floor area is more than 25 pyoungs, while negative result for the Complex of which average floor area is less than 25 pyoungs. Other than floor size it was found that the electric consumption density also influence the economic feasibility. In study the unit fixed cost of the energy produced from Co-generation plant is one third of the unit variable cost[fuel cost] and it seems better to select high thermal efficiency machine for Co-generation plant even with some higher cost of the plant.

Availability of reliable and affordable energy supply is a prerequisite for economic growth. Renewables are the third largest contributor to global electricity production after coal and natural gas and account for a share of 18%. Power generating capacity from renewables has increased to around 900GW by the year 2007. Today biodiesel fuels have been in commercial use in many countries and recently the world-wide biodiesel market has experienced considerable growth, which is partly due to various tax concession programs and other financial incentives. In Korea, biodiesel has already been used for transportation fuel, but not used for power generation fuel yet. Korean government has a strategy for renewable energy propagation, especially the goal of power generation amount by renewable energy is 3% of total power production by 2012. This paper focuses on the feasibility study for adaptability and strategy of using biodiesel as power generation fuel. The study also has the plan to replace the fuel of thermal power plant, gas turbine and distributed power system. As the increase of biodiesel fuel, I look forward to environment-friendly power generation and the strategy of Renewable Portfolio Standards(RPS).
