Abstract

The performance in scientific contribution of renewable energy R&D has been overlooked, as it is shown in terms of industrial aspect. This paper analyzed the R&D efficiency of scientific aspects of each renewable energy resource in 2008-2012. Total R&D fund and the number of supported projects are selected as input variables, and the number of patents and papers as output variables to analyze the direct efficiency using DEA method. Through the analysis, it determines the efficiency of each energy resource R&D, and investigated the causes of inefficiency. This study has meaning to include entire renewable energy sources for the analysis, and is expected to serve as an important reference in policy making.

신재생에너지 연구개발사업(R&D)은 그 성과가 발전단가 감소에의 기여 등 상업적 측면 위주로 보는 특성으로 인해 학술적 기여에 대한 부분은 간과되어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 중점 신재생에너지원에 대해 제한적으로 이루어지던 효율성 분석에서 확대하여 2008년부터 2012년까지의 신재생에너지 원별 R&D 과제의 학술적 측면에서의 효율성을 분석하였다. 총연구개발비와 지원과제수를 투입요소로, 특허와 논문 수를 산출요소로 설정하고 DEA 방법론을 적용하여 직접적 효율성을 분석하였다. 분석을 통해, 신재생에너지 원별 연구개발 효율성을 판단하고 비효율 발생의 원인을 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 신재생에너지원 전체를 대상으로 분석했다는 점에 의의를 지니고 있으며, 에너지 정책 포트폴리오 수립 등 정책결정에 주요한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
