Abstract

Internal combustion generation (ICG) is used to supply power to islands due to geographical characteristics, but there are some problems, such as considerable operating cost, salt pollution, and environmental pollution. For these islands, KEPCO pays a significant amount of operating deficit each year, especially for the fuel and servicing costs, which account for a large portion of this deficit. Integrated ICG (IICG) through an offshore cable between near islands is being considered to decrease servicing costs. Distributed generation (DG) is also being introduced on the islands because of the demand for a low-carbon society. In hybrid internal combustion generation (HICG), DG is introduced into IICG, which can be applied because the DG output is insufficient due to environmental characteristics, and the IICG is used as an auxiliary power source. Therefore, this paper proposes an algorithm to estimate the optimal DG capacity that can be introduced in accordance with the KEPCO operating deficit in the HICG. According to simulations, the optimal DG capacity depends on the fuel cost and load capacity. The validity of the proposed algorithm was confirmed for multiple islands with different peak loads.

지리적 특성상, 도서지역에 전력을 공급하기 위해서 ICG(Internal combustion generation)가 사용되고 있으며, 이로 인하여 상당한 운영비, 염해문제 및 환경오염이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 도서지역에 대해서, KEPCO는 매년 상당한 운영결손액을 감당하고 있는데, 특히 연료비 및 지급수수료가 운영결손액의 상당 부분을 차지하고 있다. 특히, 지급수수료를 줄이기 위하여 근거리 도서 사이의 해저케이블을 통한 ICG 통합운영(integrated ICG, IICG)이 고려되고 있다. 한편, 저탄소 사회에 대한 수요 때문에 도서지역에 분산형전원(Distributed Generation, DG)이 도입되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서, 환경적 특성으로 인해 DG 출력이 불충분한 경우 보조 동력원으로 IICG가 사용되는, 즉, IICG에 DG를 도입한 하이브리드 내연발전(hybrid internal combustion generation, HICG)이 도입되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 HICG에서 한전 운영결손액에 상응하게 도입될 수 있는 최적 DG 용량을 산정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 연료비와 최대부하 크기는 최적 DG 용량에 큰 영향을 미치며, 최대부하가 서로 다른 여러 도서에 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 그 유효성을 확인하였다.
