대규모 풍력발전 단지의 전력 계통에서 발생되는 전력손실의 종류를 분석하고 손실 저감 대책을 경제성 평가를 통해서 검토하였다. 검토결과 풍력발전 단지의 경우 부지면적이 넓어 배전선로에 의한 손실이 크고, 풍력발전설비의 설비 이용율(Capacity Factor)과 전력판매단가가 타 발전설비에 비해 상대적으로 높기 때문에 발전소내의 가공전선의 크기를 크게 선정하는 경우 투자비 대비 전력 손실 감소로 인한 발전량 증가로 얻는 경제적 이득이 더 크므로 경제적인 손실 저감 대책인 것으로 검토되었다.

Various pros and cons are raised as to the nuclear and renewable power portions. In order to generate scientific, objective, and comparative data, this study reviewed energy policies of some countries and derived 34 possible energy mix scenarios depending on the nuclear portion, the renewable portion and the make-up power sources. For each scenario, the unit electricity cost was calculated using the BLMP (Base Load Marginal Price) and SMP (System Marginal Price) methodology, which is currently adopted in Korean electricity market. The unit electricity cost for the current energy mix was 22.18 Won/kWh and those fir other scenarios spreaded from 19.74 to 164.07 Won/kWh excluding the transmission costs and profits of the electric utility companies. Generally, the increased nuclear power portion leads reduction in the unit electricity cost while the trend is reversed in the renewable power portion. Notable observation is that when the renewable power portion exceeds 20%, as the scenario cannot enjoy the benefit of cheap base load, the unit electricity cost at low demand time zone is increased.

In this paper, a high-accuracy current sensing technique for three-phase current paths in an electrical switchboard is proposed. Conventional open-style current sensors using magnetic sensors show inaccurate sensing performance with more than 10% error due to undesired magnetic field interference from neighboring paths. To increase accuracy, large and expensive current transformers with large permeabilities have been used, which increased the cost and size. The proposed technique can improve the measured magnetic field by the calculation of magnetic interference effect from neighboring current paths. The relationship between neighboring magnetic fields and the desired magnetic field is theoretically analyzed in a general case. The proposed technique is verified using magnetic field simulations in a three-phase busbar environment.

2011년 후쿠시마 원자력발전소 사고 이후, 발전원의 위험사고비용 및 환경피해비용에 대한 관심이 대두되고 있다. 전력은 생산과정 뿐만 아니라 발전소 건설, 발전소 운영, 송 배전을 통한 전력 공급, 폐기물처리 등의 각 과정에서 다양한 환경비용을 야기하고 있다. 따라서 발전원의 환경영향을 수용자적 입장에서의 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 컨조인트 분석법의 일종인 선택실험법을 적용하여 발전에 따른 환경영향 속성들에 대해 평가한 후, 발전원별로 상이한 속성 값에 속 성별 추정치를 반영하여 발전원별 환경비용을 수용자적 입장에서 추정하였다. 발전원부문이 환경에 미치는 영향에 대한 속성을 온실가스 배출, 건강피해, 지역피해, 온배수 배출로 선정하였고, 제시금액은 비교 대상 발전원들의 전력거래 단가 및 가구당 지출하는 월평균 전기요금수준을 기준으로하여 35,000원에서 75,000원까지의 총 다섯 가지 속성수준으로 구분하였다. 다항로짓모형을 적용하여 발전원별 각 환경영향에 대한 속성별 한계지불의사액 추정하고, 발전원간의 환경비용을 산정하였다. kWh 당 수력발전(0원/kWh) 대비 타 발전원의 추가 환경비용은 26원/kWh­832원/Wh로 환경적 영향 측면에서 국민수용성이 가장 높게 나타났다.

This article reports current status of micro fuel cell-combined heat and power (${\mu}FC$-CHP) systems which utilize both power and heat generated by fuel cells. There are several options for constructing CHP systems and among them, fuel cells are the most useful and their total energy efficiency combining heat and power can reach up to about 90%. Fuel cells are classified as five types based on the electrolyte, but the most suitable fuel cell types for the ${\mu}FC$-CHP system are proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). ${\mu}FC$-CHP systems have several advantages such as decrease of the transmission-distribution loss, reduced costs of electricity due to distributed power generation, and environmental-friendliness owing to zero emission. The main drawback of the ${\mu}FC$-CHP systems is the high initial investment, however, it keeps decreasing as the technology development reduces production costs. Currently, Japan is the most leading country of the ${\mu}FC$-CHP market, however, Korea tries to expand the market by planning the deployment of 1 million units of ${\mu}FC$-CHP systems and governmental subsidiary supporting of half of the install price. In this report, integration technologies for connecting FC and CHP, and technology trends of leading countries are presented as well.
