This study analyzed the public preference and acceptance regarding renewable energy projects through Choice Based Conjoint Analysis. The results show that the surveyed respondents consider the leading authority of the projects, as the most important factor when considering participating in renewable energy initiatives. Following this, the mode of participation and profit distribution and the power plant location are also viewed as important, whereas participation through decision making regarding the projects was less important. Also when participating in renewable energy projects, respondents tend to prefer to financially participating through loans or owning shares rather than volunteering support for the business such as sharing information, stating one's views, or providing cooperation and coordination. Therefore, the focus is on distributional justice, such as financial investment and profit distribution, rather than procedural justice, for instance decision making. When analyzing the part-worths utilities for the participation attribute, the respondents most preferred to receiving dividends based on earnings by owning shares with the local government in charge of the entire projects. As a consequence, the results suggest that it is important to have local government get involved and have trust-worthy governing systems in place for the initiation of the public participating-renewable energy projects.

This study is trying to analyze the economic effect of replacing thermal power generation, one of the government's carbon-neutral policies, with new and renewable energy. For this analysis, scenario A is set to replace 100% of thermal power generation with new and renewable energy, and scenario B is set to replace 60% of thermal power generation with new and renewable energy. In addition, costs are incurred when replacing thermal power generation with new and renewable energy, and scenario 1 is the same cost as the current cost, and scenario 2 is120% higher than the current cost. Therefore, when converting thermal power generation to new and renewable energy, the scenarios are largely organized into four cases. In the case of replacing thermal power generation with new and renewable energy, the production inducement coefficient of thermal power generation decreased from the current level regardless of the scenario. However, the value-added inducement coefficient and the greenhouse gas emission inducement coefficient are lower than the current level when thermal power is converted to renewable energy by 100%, while the value-added inducement coefficient and greenhouse gas emission inducement coefficient are higher than the current level. In addition, the greenhouse gas emission induction coefficient of most industries was found to decrease, while the production induction coefficient and the value-added induction coefficient increased. Scenario A seems appropriate because the purpose of the government's policy is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by converting thermal power into new and renewable energy. However, as a result of this, the production inducement coefficient and value-added inducement coefficient of some industries decrease, so the government's support policy is needed to solve this problem

Due to climate change, countries around the world are actively investing in renewable energy, reducing fossil fuel use. 23.7% of world electricity is supplied by renewable energy. As the technology continues to develop, it is in a level to compete in terms of power generation cost, and investment conditions are improving. However, investment in renewable energy projects is not easy. This study analyzed trends of domestic and international researches on economics assessment applying real options analysis to investment decisions of hydro, solar, and wind power projects, which account for a large portion of renewable energy. This study provides (1) the difference between the traditional economic method and the real options analysis, (2) the application process, and (3) the uncertainty elements and option type of the renewable energy project presented by many studies. The real options analysis is suitable for the detailed investment strategy by considering the uncertainties of the renewable energy project and applying the option to improve the profit or to avoid the risk.

신재생에너지 수요가 확대됨에 따라 신재생에너지 관련 제품에 소요되는 물질에 대한 관심이 확대되고 있다. 이들 물질은 공급리스크가 존재하는 희유금속이 주를 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 신재생에너지 등의 high tech 기술 확대로 인한 희유금속의 수요 및 공급을 전망하고 있는 미국의 critical raw material 관리 전략을 살펴보고자 한다. 미국은 2010년 12월 미국 에너지성(DOE : Department of Energy)에서 위기 물질 전략(Critical Materials Strategy)에 관한 리포트를 공표하였다. 클린 에너지 기술 4개 분야(영구자석, 선진 전지, 태양전지 박막, 형광 물질)에서 핵심이 되는 물질(희유금속 등)의 수급 불균형이 일어날 가능성에 대해 조사를 실시하여 리스크 평가하여 단기, 중단기로 구분하여 위기물질을 선정하였다. 클린 에너지 기술 4개 분야에서 핵심이 되는 물질(네오디움, 디스프로슘, 코발트, 리튬, 랜턴, 세륨, 테룰, 인듐, 갈륨, 유로피움, 테르비움, 이트륨)의 12광종 수급을 2025년까지 전망한 결과 전체적으로 단기(2010년~2015년)보다 중기(2015년~2025년)에 공급 부족이 확대한다고 예측되었다. 단기적으로는 인듐이 약간 부족하는 것 외에 디스프로슘과 이트륨에 관해서도 공급 부족할 것으로 예측되었다. 중기적으로는 코발트(전지 기술에 사용)와 유로피움(고효율 조명용의 형광 물질에 사용) 외 대상이 된 다른 모든 물질은 공급 부족이 발생할 것으로 전망되었다. 이를 종합하여 단기적으로는 디스프리슘, 유로피움, 인듐, 테르븀, 네오디움, 이트륨 등이, 중기적으로는 디스프리슘, 유로피움, 테르븀, 네오디움, 이트륨 등이 위기물질(Critical Material)로 분석되었다. 에너지성은 위기물질을 공급원다각화, 대체물질개발, 리유즈, 리사이클링 등을 국제적 파트너와 함께 추진하여 리스크를 관리할 것이며, 2011년까지 최신정보를 구축하여 위기물질 전략을 재설정할 예정이다. 체계적인 위기물질 선정 및 관리전략 등을 참조하고, 신재생에너지기술 변화에 따른 원재료의 중요성 및 리스크 관리현황을 기초로 우리나라에 적합한 위기관리 물질 선정 및 관리가 필요할 것이다.

In heterojunction technology (HJT) solar cells, low-temperature curing paste is used because the passivation layer deteriorates at high temperatures of 200℃ or higher. However, manufacturing HJT photovoltaic (PV) modules is challenging due to the weak peel strength between busbar electrodes and cells after soldering process. For this issue, the electrode thicknesses of the busbars of the HJT solar cell were analyzed, and the peel strengths between electrodes and wires were measured after soldering using an infrared (IR) lamp. As a result, the electrodes printed by the screen printing method had a difference in thickness due to screen mask. Also, as the thickness of the electrode increased, the peel strength of the wire increased.

Expanding the supply of BIPV is crucial to strengthening the competitiveness of the photovoltaic industry and achieving Nationally Determined Contributions through the zero-energy building mandatory policy. BIPV is a technology that integrates into the building envelope to generate electricity and provide functions as a building material. It is suitable for domestic environments with many high-rise buildings due to the narrow land area and urbanization. To expand the supply of BIPV, economics, safety, and aesthetics must be ensured. In this study, a color BIPV module with a color PET film applied as a front material was manufactured for aesthetic and economic feasibility. The relationship between power output and transmittance according to color was analyzed. By analyzing the power output of the module and the transmittance of the film, the wavelength band (transmittance reduction band) that has the greatest effect on efficiency was analyzed regarding the color of the film. The red film showed the narrowest transmittance reduction band and the lowest degree of decrease in transmittance, making it ideal for minimizing the efficiency decrease rate compared to existing ones.
