  • This paper, focusing on the renewable portfolio standard (RPS), evaluates alternative renewable energy policies. We propose a tractable equilibrium model which provides a structural representation of Korea's electricity market, including its energy settlement system and renewable energy certificate (REC) transactions. Arbitrage conditions are used to define the core value of REC prices to identify relevant competitive equilibrium conditions. The model considers R&D investments and learning effects that may affect the development of renewable energy technologies. The model is parameterized to represent the baseline scenario under the currently scheduled RPS reinforcement for a 20% share of renewable generation, and then simulated for alternative scenarios. The result shows that the reinforcement of the RPS leads to higher welfare compared to weakening it as well as repealing it, though there remains room to enhance welfare. It turns out that subsidies are welfare-inferior to the RPS due to financial burdens and that reducing nuclear power generation from the baseline yields lower welfare by worsening environmental externalities.

  • 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.

  • 우리나라는 기후변화 대응 및 효율적인 에너지 이용을 위하여, 2012년부터 신재생에너지 공급의무제(RPS, Renewable Portfolio Standard)를 시행할 계획이나, 신재생에너지 자원의 부족, 관련기술 수준의 한계 등으로 국내 발전부문에서의 RPS 공급의무율 이행에는 어려움이 예상되며 목질계 바이오매스의 석탄화력 혼소가 대안 중에 하나이다. 목질계 바이오매스의 석탄화력 혼소는 기술적 접근이 용이하고, 유연탄과 비교했을 경우 $CO_2$ 편익, 신재생에너지 인증서(REC, Renewable Energy Certificate) 편익 등을 고려시 경쟁력이 있으며, 발전 원가 측면에서 타 신재생에너지 전원보다 우수하다. 따라서 국내발전부문에서 중장기적인 RPS 공급의무율 이행을 위해서는 목질계 바이오매스의 활용이 요구된다.

  • 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.

  • As the generation of renewable energy increases rapidly, the stability of the grid due to its intermittency becomes a problem. The most appropriate way to solve this problem is to combine and operate the renewable generators with the ESS(Energy Storage System). However, since the revenues of operating the ESS are less than the investment cost, many countries are implementing various incentive policies for encouraging investment of the ESS. In this paper we estimated optimal capacity of the ESS to maximize profits of renewable energy generation businesses under the incentive policy of Korea and analyzed the impact of the incentive policy on the future electric power system of Jeju island. The simulation results show that the incentive policy has significantly improved the profitability of the renewable energy businesses generation business. But the volatility of the net demand has increased as the energy stored in the ESS is discharged intensively at the time of the incentive application.

  • 한국지역난방공사 SS지사에서는 시설용량 전기 99MW, 열 98Gcal/h 규모의 열병합(Combined Heat & Power) 발전소를 구역전기사업으로 운영하고 있다. 이 지역은 경기불황과 수요감소로 하절기 6~9월 사이에 잉여열 처리문제가 발생하여 발전기를 가동하기 곤란한 상황이므로 경제성 있는 에너지 신사업모델 개발이 절실하다. 본 연구에서는 이곳의 실제 운영자료를 기반으로 신재생 에너지 하이브리드 시스템을 도입하여 최적화 운영모델을 개발하고자 한다. 특히 신재생에너지 중에서도 입지제약이 작고 열과 전기를 동시에 생산할 수 있는 연료전지(Fuel Cell)발전과 대표적인 신재생에너지인 태양광(Photovoltaic)발전과 심야발전시 전력을 저장하여 주간에 전력을 방출 할 수 있는 ESS(Energy Storage System)의 조합을 검토하였다. 이에 따른 최적화 모델 선정은 HOMER(Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) 프로그램을 활용하였다. 경제성 분석을 수행한 결과, 순 현재비용(NPC) 측면에서는 기존의 99MW 열병합발전이 가장 경제적이지만 신재생에너지를 사용하여 발생되는 탄소배출권 거래와 REC(Renewable Energy Certificate) 거래를 포함한 측면에서는 99MW의 CHP와 5MW의 연료전지, 521kW의 태양광을 하이브리드 시켜서 전력과 열을 공급하는 것이 99MW의 CHP 열병합발전만으로 전력과 열을 공급하는 것보다 최대 2,475억원 경제적인 것으로 나타났다. 구역전기사업에서 최적화 공정모델로 연료전지와 신재생에너지 하이브리드 시스템을 도입함으로써 경제성을 개선시킬 수 있는 결과를 확인하였다.

  • Due to the international environmental regulations and changes in policies, the demand for generators using the renewable energy is increasing. However, renewable energy generators with intermittent output characteristics such as solar and wind power generators, need the buffer facilities such as ESS during system operations. However, because of low price competitiveness in energy storage system, it is difficult to operate the renewable energy generator with ESS. Therefore, the government has recently proposed a policy to compensate the REC for renewable energy system with ESS. For all this, since the initial cost of the ESS is high, it is the most important to calculate and operate the optimal capacity of the ESS through an economic analysis. In this paper, we proposed the method of calculation the optimal capacity of ESS and analyzed economic feasibility of renewable energy system using the ESS according to depreciation in ESS price.

  • In order to deploy the large-scale energy storage (ES) service in the various industry, it is very important to develop a business model with high technological and economic feasibility through detailed valuation of cost and expected benefits. In relation to this, this paper established an optimal scheduling plan for electric vehicle charging stations connected with photovoltaic (PV) and ES technologies in Korea using the distributed energy resource valuation tool and analyzed the feasibility of the project. In addition, the impact of incentives such as REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) to be given to electric vehicle charging stations in accordance with the relevant laws to be revised in the future was analyzed. As a results, the methodology presented in this paper are expected to be used in various ways to analyze the feasibility of various business models linked to renewable energy and ES technologies as well as the electric vehicle market.

  • 매년 증가하는 전력수요에 대한 해결방안으로 미국, 일본 및 유럽에서는 스마트그리드 도입 등의 방법으로 전력계통의 전반적인 변화를 도모하고 있다. 이 중 전력저장장치 ESS는 전력의 효율적 사용을 도모하고, 신재생에너지시스템의 계통연계를 위한 대안으로 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 우리나라 정부도 ESS 보급 활성화 방안으로 ESS를 신재생에너지 부대설비로 포함토록 법개정을 완료하였다. 본 연구에서는 정부의 ESS 보급을 활성화 시키고자 하는 정책에 발맞춰 신재생 발전사업자가 ESS 도입 시 투자경제성을 보장할 수 있는 수준의 REC 가중치를 결정하는 방법론을 제시하였다.
