In this study, economic feasibility analysis was performed when various hydrogen production and transport technologies were applied to derive hydrogen supply plans by period. The cost of hydrogen may vary depending on several reasons; configuration of the entire cycle supply path from production, storage/transportation, and utilization to the cost that can be supplied to consumers. In this analysis, the hydrogen supply price according to the hydrogen supply route configuration for each period was analyzed for the transportation hydrogen demand in metropolitan area, where the demand for hydrogen is expected to be the highest due to the expansion of hydrogen supply.

In this study, economic analysis program was developed for economic evaluation of hydrogen production, storage/delivery, and utilization technologies as well as overseas import of hydrogen. Economic analysis program can be used for the estimation of the levelized cost of hydrogen for hydrogen supply chain technologies. This program include five hydrogen production technology on steam methane reforming and water electrolysis, two hydrogen storage technologies (high compressed gas and liquid hydrogen storage), three hydrogen delivery technologies (compressed gas delivery using tube trailer, liquid hydrogen, and pipeline transportation) and six hydrogen utilization technologies on hydrogen refueling station and stationary fuel cell system. In the case of overseas import hydrogen, it was considered to be imported from five countries (Austraila, Chile, India, Morocco, and UAE), and the transportation methods was based on liquid hydrogen, ammonia, and liquid organic hydrogen carrier. Economic analysis program that was developed in this study can be expected to utilize for planning a detailed implementation methods and hydrogen supply strategies for the hydrogen economy road map of government.

Collective energy is an intermediate stage in energy conversion and has a great influence on the power structure as a distributed power source. However, the problem of the collective energy business has recently emerged due to the worsening profitability of some collective energy operators. This study measured the technical efficiency of major operators through the estimation of the production efficiency of Korean collective energy operators, and based on this, we looked at ways to improve the profit structure of operators. After collecting detailed data from 16 collective energy operators between 2016 and 2019, the production efficiency of operators was estimated using the panel stochastic frontier model. As a result of the estimation, combined steam power operators showed the highest production efficiency and reverse CHP operators showed the lowest efficiency. Furthermore, as a result of examining the factors influencing profitability, it was confirmed that production efficiency has a positive effect on overall profitability. However, businesses with a high proportion of heat production, such as small district electricity operators, profitability was lower. This phenomenon is due to the structural limitations of the current heat sales market. Hence, the adjustment of the heat sales unit price is necessary to improve profitability of collective energy operators.

Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), one of the most commonly adopted regulation for renewable energy expansion since 2012, has the obvious advantage of inducing competition in power generation source and alleviating the government's financial burden. However, the abuse of credit multipliers and the use of national Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) have resulted in the distortion of RPS as a quantitative control policy. Just as no face value 10 years ago can hold its real value, this paper highlights for the first time that 27.8% of total renewable obligations over the total RPS period were not actually met due to REC inflation and the consequent decline in the value of renewable energy generation. In addition, the distortion of face/real value of REC causes problems in interoperability with other government policies such as RE100 and Emission Trading System.

Hydrogen production using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) is a promising technology because of its efficiency, cleanness, and scalability. Especially, high-power SOEC system has received a lot of attention from researchers. This study compared and analyzed the low-power and high-power SOEC system in term of economic. By using revenue requirement method, levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) was calculated for comparison. In addition, the sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the dependence of hydrogen cost on input variables. The results indicated that high-power SOEC system is superior to a low-power SOEC system. In the capital cost, the stack cost is dominant in both systems, but the electricity cost is the most contributed factor to the hydrogen cost. If the high-power SOEC system combines with a nuclear power plant, the hydrogen cost can reach 3.65 $/kg when the electricity cost is 3.28 ¢/kWh and the stack cost is assumed to be 574 $/kW.

전 세계적으로 기후변화, 인구증가, 도시화에 따른 물, 에너지, 식량 등 필수 자원의 수요량 증가로 인한 수급 불균형으로 글로벌 자원안보 위기가 대두되고 있다. 특히, 국내의 경우 경제성장로 인한 중산층 증가와 도시 인구 팽창에 따른 물, 에너지, 식량 등 필수 자원에 대한 수요 증가로 인해 유한한 자원에 대한 대응책이 시급한 실정이다. 또한 국내 자원의 대외 의존성이 높아 국제 자원 시장에 크게 영향을 받기 때문에 물-에너지-식량의 연계를 통한 자립적 자원확보가 필요하다. 국내에서도 수자원 자체만의 기존 기술 한계를 극복하기 위한 물-에너지, 물-식량 연계신기술 개발과 지속가능한 활용방안이 필요한 실정으로 현재 미국, 일본, 유럽 등 주요 선진국을 중심으로 물관리와 연계한 에너지의 효율화 및 수자원이 갖는 에너지의 회수와 적극적 활용이 추진되고 있다. 이를 반영하여, 국내의 경우 독립적으로 구분되는 이수, 치수, 물순환 건전화 등 주요 물관리 이슈에 대하여 에너지, 식량 분야를 연계한 통합적이고 효율적인 지속가능 방안제시가 필요하다. 이를 위해 자원안보의 선제적 대응을 위한 구체적이고 실질적인 물-에너지-식량의 연계 기술이 필요하며, 국내 실정에 적합한 기술의 도입이 필요하다. 즉 (1) WEF 데이터공유 및 범정부적 의사결정을 위한 다부처 협업체계 구축을 위한 Bigdata기반 부처간 데이터베이스 구축 및 공유 (2) 기후변화 적응 자원연계 솔루션 개발 및 넥서스 영향평가 툴 개발을 위한 자원 효율성 증대를 위한 연계 기술 고도화 (3) 국내(미래넥서스시티 versus 지자체자립형넥서스마을), 해외 on-demand형의 미래자원관리 패키지기술 실증을 위한 국내외 Testbed구축 및 운영 (4) 기술의 실현을 위한 제도, 정책의 개선 및 국민 공감대 형성을 위한 WEF 넥서스 거버넌스 수립 및 개선으로 구분할 수 있다. 이를 통해, 물-에너지-식량 분야 상호 연계를 통한 분야별 "생산-가공-유통처리" 효율 30% 개선, 20C SOC 시설산업기반에서 21C 사회 인프라 국민 서비스 산업으로 전환을 통한 국가 신산업기반 구축, 4차 산업혁명의 Data Technology 분야에서 세계 최초의 공공기반 WEF 연계 패키지 기술 개발 들이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Slush hydrogen containing liquid and solid hydrogen is expected to achieve zero boil-off by suppressing boil-off gas because heat of fusion for solid absorbe the heat ingress from atmosphere. In this paper, quantitative analysis on storage cost considering specific energy consumption between 1,000 m³ class liquid hydrogen storage system with re-liquefaction and slush hydrogen storage system during equivalent zero boil off period. Even though approximately 50% of total storage capacity should be converted into solid phase during the initial cargo bunkering, total energy consumption to convert into slush hydrogen is relatively 25% less than re-liquefaction energy for boil off hydrogen during zero boil off period. That's because energy consumption of slush phase change take up only 1.8% of liquefaction energy. moreover, annual revenue requirement including CAPEX, OPEX and electric cost for slush hydrogen storage could be more reduced approximately 32.5% than those of liquid hydrogen storage and specific energy storage cost ($/kg-H₂) could also be lowered by about 41.7% compared with liquid hydrogen storage.
