Floating solar power markets are rapidly growing worldwide. The main policy instrument utilized to expand renewable energy use in foreign countries with many floating solar power installations is Feed-in-Tariffs (FITs). Foreign countries apply FIT to projects that have a secured grid connection, and lately, there has been a change in the direction of introducing or expanding auction systems. Vietnam and Taiwan give higher FIT to floating solar installations than land solar ones, and China, Vietnam, and Taiwan have higher FITs for certain regions. Compared to foreign countries where large-scale floating solar power installations have been installed, Korea has utilized Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) weights for residents' participation are provided additionally under the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). In contrast to Korea, where residents' participation and benefit profit sharing are emphasized, the Netherlands provides opportunities for local residents to participate in floating solar power projects through cooperatives to improve the residents' acceptance.

The investment in solar and wind generation is rapidly increasing with government's renewable expansion policy and Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). Since the large penetration of solar and wind generation increases the variability and uncertainty of supply and demand balance in power system, the government is pursuing the policy of supplying energy storage system (ESS) linked to renewable energy. ESS contributes to the ease of transmission and distribution grid by shifting PV generation from daytime to evening hours. Recently, the declining market price of REC as ESS incentive, policies to cut down incentives and limited ESS storage due to fire events lead to the aggravation of long-term profitability, thus working as a barrier of ESS spreading. In this study, the factors affecting the profit of ESS are analyzed and brief indicators are derived. Based on the indicators, the profit changes are analyzed considering the variation of REC market price and REC incentive weights. Based on the profit change with respect to the increase of ESS capacity, economical ESS installation capacity is suggested.

The purpose of this study is to review the U.S. renewable energy policies implemented by the federal government and the state governments to investigate potential barriers of renewable energy expansion and to develop policy implications for the successful renewable energy policy making in Korea. Recently, the restructuring in the energy supply chain has been being a new trend in many countries that shows a transition from traditional fossil fuels to sustainable renewable energy sources. The United States has enforced effective renewable energy policies (i.e., regulatory policies, financial incentives), which have led to the exploding growth of renewable energy facilities and productions over the last ten years. For example, many state governments in the U.S. are implementing Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) policies that require increased energy supply from renewable energy sources (i.e., solar, wind and geothermal). These RPS policies are expected to account for at least 10-50 percent of total electricity production in the next fifteen years. As part of results, in the recent three years, renewable energy in the U.S provided over 50 percent of total new power generation constructions. On the other hand, Korea initiated to develop climate change policies in 2008 for the Green Growth Policy that set up a target reduction of national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions up to 37 percent by 2025. However, statistical data for accumulated renewable energy capacity refer that Korea is still in its early stage that contribute to only 7 percent of the total electricity production capacity and of which hydroelectric power occupied most of the production. Thus, new administration in Korea announced a new renewable energy policy (Renewable Energy 3020 Plan) in 2017 that will require over 95 percent of the total new generations as renewable energy facilities to achieve up to 20 percent of the total electricity production from renewable energy sources by 2030. However, to date, there have not been enough studies to figure out the barriers of the current policy environment and to develop implications about renewable energy policies to support the government plan in Korea. Therefore, this study reviewed the U.S. renewable energy policies compared with Korean policies that could show model cases to introduce related policies and to develop improved incentives to rapidly spread out renewable energy facilities in Korea.

바이오가스화는 유기성폐기물을 안정적으로 분해하여 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 메탄(CH₄)가스를 이용해 환경친화적인 연료를 생산하는 기술이다. 바이오가스화는 수분함량이 높은 유기성폐기물의 에너지화에 가장 많이 활용되는 방법이며, 직매립(2005) 및 해양투기(2013) 등의 금지에 따른 유기성폐기물 처리에 유용한 공법이다. 최근 국내에서 발병한 아프리카돼지열병(ASF, African Swine Fever)으로 습식사료화 재활용이 금지되고, 건조 사료화 및 퇴비화 등의 생산제품 수요처가 부정적으로 인식되면서 음식물류폐기물의 처리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에, 음식물류폐기물의 처리 및 자원화를 위해 바이오가스화가 더욱 주목받고 있다. 우리나라 에너지소비 규모는 268.41 10⁶toe에 이르며 세계 9위 수준이다. 하지만 공급에너지의 약 95.8 %를 해외수입에 의존하고 있는 에너지 빈곤 국가이다. 따라서 국내에서는 신·재생에너지 공급의무화제도(RPS, Renewable energy portfolio standard)를 도입하고 있다. 국내의 RPS 제도는 다른 신재생에너지와 비교하여 폐기물에너지의 신·재생에너지 공급인증서(REC, Renewable energy certificate)의 가중치를 낮게 설정하고 있다. 따라서 폐자원에너지의 활성화를 위한 추가적 인센티브 제도가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 음식물류폐기물, 음폐수 및 다양한 유기성폐기물이 처리되는 혐기소화조의 운영방식을 알아보고, 일정 기간의 정밀모니터링을 통해 폐자원에너지 인센티브제도를 마련하는 기초자료로써 활용하고자 하였다. 유기성 폐기물로 바이오가스를 생산하여 발전과 중질가스로 활용하는 4개소를 대상시설로 선정하였고, 현장조사 및 시료채취를 실시하였다. 채취된 유기성폐기물의 유입물 시료와 처리공정에 따른 유출물 시료의 기초 성상분석을 수행하였다. 성상분석 결과, 소화조 유입물의 총 고형물은 평 균 12.11 %이며, 총 고형물 중 휘발성 고형물은 85.86 %로 확인되었다. BOD와 CODcr 제거율은 소화조의 유입·유출 대비 각각 60.8 %와 64.8 %로 나타났으며, 유입물의 휘발성지방산은 평균 55,716 mg/L로 나타났으며, 혐기소화 후 감소율이 평균 92.3 %로 대부분 분해되어 제거된 것을 확인할 수 있다.

In power supply systems for urban areas, issues such as a progressive tax have escalated recently. In this regard, photovoltaic power generation, which is appraised as an alternative power generation system, is drawing attention increasingly for its high stability and applicability to existing infrastructure. This study assessed the realistic feasibility of photovoltaic power generation and also analyzed the economic benefits expected when it is linked with green roof, which is likely to promote ecological functions in urban areas, based on the Seoul solar map, RPS, and actual monitoring data. The economics analysis of 30kW photovoltaic power generation applied with the monthly average horizontal solar radiation of six grades in the Seoul solar map showed that positive NPV was up to grade 4, while grade 5 or poorer showed negative NPV and indicated that it is difficult to assure appropriate feasibility. Compared with non-afforestation, when green roof was applied, monthly average power improvement efficiency was 7.2% at highest and 3.7% at lowest based on yearly actual monitoring data. The annual average was 5.3%, and the efficiency was high relatively in summer, including September and November. As for the economic benefits expected when 30kw photovoltaic power generation is combined with green roof based on the average horizontal solar radiation of grade 1 in the Seoul solar map, SP has improved 0.2 years to 7.4 years, and EP has improved 0.5 years to 8.3 years.

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.
