This paper uses research on the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) in South Korea to conduct a simulation analysis on the impact of nuclear power dependency and usage rates on the social costs of power generation. We compare the $7^{th}$ basic plan for long-term electricity supply and demand, which was designed to increase nuclear power generation, to the $8^{th}$ basic plan for long-term electricity supply and demand that decreased nuclear power generation and increased renewable energy generation in order to estimate changes in social costs and electricity rates according to the power generation mix. Our environmental generation mix simulation results indicate that social costs may increase by 22% within 10 years while direct generation cost and electricity rates based on generation and other production costs may increase by as much as 22% and 18%, respectively. Thus we confirm that the power generation mix from the $8^{th}$ basic plan for long-term electricity supply and demand compared to the $7^{th}$ plan increases social costs of generation, which include environmental external costs.

전력거래소는 2014년 나주본사이전 이후 1억kW 대용량 전력계통을 운영하기 위한 차기 계통운영시스템(이하 차기EMS) 구축을 계획하고 있다. EMS(Energy Management System)는 전국의 발, 변전소에서 계통정보를 실시간으로 취득하여 전력계통을 감시하며, 연료비 기반의 최적 경제점을 찾아 발전기를 제어하고, 전력계통을 수식화한 상태추정 결과를 기반으로 상정사고분석, 고장전류계산 등 전력계통운영을 위한 종합시스템이다. 국내 EMS의 역사는 1979년 미국의 L&N 시스템 도입을 시작으로 1988년 일본의 Toshiba EMS, 2001년 Alstom사의 NEMS를 구축하여 현재 운영중에 있다. 하지만, 외산 제품 도입에 따른 기술이전, 유지보수의 어려움을 타개하기 위해 2004년 한국형 EMS(이하 K-EMS) 연구개발계획을 수립하고 전력거래소를 주축으로 한 산학연을 구성하여 2010년 K-EMS 개발을 성공적으로 완료하였다. 차기 EMS는 국내 기술력으로 개발된 정부연구과제 성과물인 K-EMS를 기반으로 구축이 이루어지며, 총 3년간의 개발 및 시험과정을 거쳐 실계통운영을 담당할 예정이다. 차기EMS가 설치되어 운영예정인 급전소는 전력수급 균형유지와 발전소 운영 총괄 지휘 및 765kV, 345kV 송전망 운영역할을 담당할 나주급전소와 154kV 비수도권 송전망 운영을 담당할 천안급전소, 154kV 수도권 송전망 운영을 책임질 서울급전소 이상 3곳이다. 차기EMS는 발전 및 송, 변전 설비의 대형화, 다양한 FACTS 설비, 신재생에너지원으로 대표되는 분산전원의 등장과 같은 급변하는 전력계통 변화에 능동적인 역할을 성공적으로 수행할 것으로 기대하고 있다.

기후변화 대응을 위해 세계적으로 신 재생에너지의 분담율(penetration rate)은 갈수록 증가하고 있고, 정부에서는 2015년까지 신 재생에너지의 개발에 총 40조원을 투자한다는 적극적인 계획을 세우고 있다. 하지만 신 재생에너지 중 전력 생산에 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 풍력발전은 비급전성과 간헐성 등의 제약으로 인해 안정적인 전력을 공급하기 힘들뿐만 아니라 전력계통의 신뢰성을 악화시킬 수도 있는 리스크를 잠재하고 있는 에너지원이다. 이에 풍력발전 등 신 재생에너지원의 출력을 안정화시키기 위한 Smart Renewable 프로젝트가 현재 제주도에서 실증 단계에 있다. 이 논문에서는 한국전력 컨소시엄의 Smart Renewable 프로젝트 대상인 660kW급 풍력터빈과 200kWh급 리튬-이온 배터리 에너지저장장치를 이용하여, 풍력터빈의 출력을 평활화시키는 평활화 제어(Smoothing Control)와 일정시간동안 균일한 출력을 낼 수 있게 하는 정출력 제어(Constant Power Control)의 두 가지 기법을 시뮬레이션 하였다. t 시점의 에너지저장장치 잔존용량을 피드백 받아 t+1 시점의 풍력터빈과 에너지저장장치 합성출력의 목표치를 설정하는 잔존용량 피드백 방법을 이용하여 에너지저장장치의 운전모드, 초기 용량, 평활화 시정수(time constant) 등의 조건 변화가 평활화 제어와 정출력 제어에 미치는 영향을 각각 확인하고, 주어진 기기 조건 하에서 최적의 시정수 값과 운전모드를 도출하였다.

We calculate the benefit of distributed combined heat power generators from avoiding a transmission expansion cost by building distributed generators near electricity demand centers. We determine a transmission expansion plan by solving a mixed integer linear problem, where we modify capacities of existing transmission lines and build new transmission lines. We calculate the benefit by comparing the sum of generation and transmission expansion costs with or without distributed generators through two simulation frames. In the first frame, for the current demand, we substitute existing distributed generators for non-distributed generators and measure an additional cost to balance the generation and demand. In the second frame, for increased future demand, we compare the cost to invest only in distributed generators to the cost to invest only in non-distributed generators. As a result, we show that the distributed generators have at least 5.8 won/kWh of the benefit from avoiding the transmission expansion cost.

This study analyzes how much cost the power generation and energy sector in South Korea have to bear due to the introduction of emissions trading scheme during 2016 - 2017. To this end, the data on the seventh basic plan for long-term electricity supply and demand is applied to the electricity market simulation model called M-Core, and then the model forecasts carbon dioxide emissions to compare with the free emission allowances in the first national emissions permit allocation plan. The main results are as follows. Carbon dioxide emissions are estimated to be less in 2016 but more than the free emission allowances in 2017. When the price of the allowances is changed from \10,000/ton to \20,000/ton, the cost of purchasing the allowances is ranged from \70 billion to \140 billion. Under the assumption that CO2 cost is incorporated into the variable cost, a reversal of merit order between coal and LNG generation takes place when the price of the allowances exceeds \80,000/ton.

To respond effectively to climate change following the launch of the new climate system, the government is seeking to expand the use of distributed power resources. Among them, the district heating system centered on Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is accepted as the most realistic alternative. On the other hand, the government recently announced the change of energy paradigm focusing on eco-friendly power generation from the base power generation through $8^{th}$ Basic Plan for Long-term Electricity Supply and Demand(BPE). In this study, we analyzed the quantitative effects of profit and loss on the CHP operating business by changing patterns of the heat production, caused by the change of energy paradigm. To do this, the power market long-term simulation was carried out according to the $7^{th}$ and $8^{th}$ BPE respectively, using the commercialized power market integrated analysis program. In addition, the CHP operating model is organized to calculate the power and heat production level for each CHP operation mode by utilizing the operating performance of 830MW class CHP in Seoul metropolitan area. Based on this, the operation optimization is performed for realizing the maximum operating profit and loss during the life-cycle of CHP through the commercialized integrated energy optimization program. As a result, it can be seen that the change of the energy paradigm of the government increased the level of the ordered power supply by Korean Power Exchange(KPX), decreased the cost of the heat production, and increased the operating contribution margin by 90.9 billion won for the 30 years.

The recent movement to deregulated and competitive electricity market reacquires new concepts against existing central dispatch in the system operation and pinning. As power systems tend to be operated more closely to their ultimate ratings, the role of SCOPF (Security Constrained Optimal Power flow) is changed and the importance for real-time security inhancement will be more increased i]1 the new and com partitive electricity market. This paper deals with the application of the SCOPF which makes possible the On-Line application. The security margin of power system truly is changed according to the conditions or configuration of power systems, therefore, the sensitivity factor reiated to the security is recalculated and the application should be updated in accordance with the state of power system. The goal of this paper is to obtain proper security through the effluent usage of the sensitivity and to apply this a1gorithm to system operation. The proposed mechanism has been tested on a sample system and the results show more secure conditions against critical contingencies.

The Korean DR market proposes suppression of peak demand under reliability crisis caused a natural disaster or unexpected power plant accidents as well as saving power plant construction costs and expanding amount of reserve as utility's perspective. End-user is notified a DR event signal DR execution before one hour, and executes DR based on requested amount of load reduction. This paper proposes a DR energy management algorithm that can be scheduled the optimal operations of chiller system and ESS in the next day considering the TOU tariff and DR scheme. In this DR algorithm is divided into two scheduling's; day-ahead operation scheduling with temperature forecasting error and operation rescheduling on DR operation. In day-ahead operation scheduling, the operations of DR resources are scheduled based on the finite number of ambient temperature scenarios, which have been generated based on the historical ambient temperature data. As well as, the uncertainties in DR event including requested amount of load reduction and specified DR duration are also considered as scenarios. Also, operation rescheduling on DR operation day is proposed to ensure thermal comfort and the benefit of a COB owner. The proposed method minimizes the expected energy cost by a mixed integer linear programming (MILP).
