In this study, in order to solve the problem of the program of calculating code input by experienced users in the power generation, the wide area energy network research group developed the local heating operation analysis program EntPLAN, which can be easily used by anyone, including scalability, with domestic technology. Therefore, the Commission intended to compare the heat sources, heat demand, and the results of operation of the combined heat plant (CHP) on the energy network through simulation with the EnetPLAN and the program A on the market. The results showed that the heat and power output on the energy network of the EnetPLAN and A programs were mostly similar in pattern in the simulation results of the heat supply and the operation method of the accumulator. This enabled the application of the simulation for the various operation modes of the cogeneration facilities existing on the energy network. It is expected that EntPLAN, which was developed with domestic technology, will be easily applied in the field in the future and will present efficient operation simulation results.

KEPRI has studied planar type SOFC stacks using anode-supported single cells and kW class co-generation systems for residential power generation. A 1kW class SOFC system consisted of a hot box part, a cold BOP part and a water reservoir. A hot box part contains a SOFC stack made up of 48 single cells and ferritic stainless steel interconnectors, a fuel reformer, a catalytic combustor and heat exchangers. Thermal management and insulation system were especially designed for self-sustainable operation. A cold BOP part was composed of blowers, pumps, a water trap and system control units. When a 1kW class SOFC system was operated at $750^{\circ}C$ with hydrogen after pre-treatment process, the stack power was 1.2kW at 30 A and 1.6kW at 50A. Turning off an electric furnace, the SOFC system was operated using hydrogen and city gas without any external heat source. Under self-sustainable operation conditions, the stack power was about 1.3kW with hydrogen and 1.2kW with city gas respectively. The system also recuperated heat of about 1.1kW by making hot water.

According to the new climate change agreement, technology development to reduce greenhouse gases is actively conducted worldwide, and research on energy efficiency improvement in the field of power generation and transmission and distribution is underway [1,2]. Economic analysis of the operation method of storing and supplying surplus electricity using energy storage devices, and using energy storage devices as a frequency adjustment reserve power in regional cogeneration plants has been reported as the most profitable operation method [3-7]. Therefore, this study conducted an economic analysis for the installation of energy storage devices in the combined heat and power plant in the Czech Republic. The most important factor in evaluating the economics of battery energy storage devices is the lifespan, and the warranty life is generally 10 to 15 years, based on charging and discharging once a day. For the simulation, the ratio of battery and PCS was designed as 1: 1 and 1: 2. In general, the primary frequency control is designed as 1: 4, but considering the characteristics of the cogeneration plant, it is set at a ratio of up to 1: 2, and the capacity is simulated at 1MW to 10MW and 2MWh to 20MWh according to each ratio. Therefore, life was evaluated based on the number of cycles per year. In the case of installing a battery energy storage system in a combined heat and power plant in the Czech Republic, the payback period of 3MW / 3MWh is more favorable than 5MW / 5MWh, considering the local infrastructure and power market. It is estimated to be about 3 years or 5 years from the simple payback period considering the estimated purchase price without subsidies. If you lower the purchase price by 50%, the purchase cost is an important part of the cost for the entire lifetime, so the payback period is about half as short. It can be, but it is impossible to secure profitability through the economy at the scale of 3MWh and 5MWh. If the price of the electricity market falls by 50%, the payback period will be three years longer in P1 mode and two years longer in P2 and P3 modes.

As the distributed generation becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of the distributed generation units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This new generation technology is linked to a large number of factors like economics and performance, safety and reliability, market regulations, environmental issues, or grid connection constrains. KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) is performing the project to develope the Distributed Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) technolgies by using Swine BIO-ENERGY. This paper describes the plans and strategies for the renewable energy of MGT on actual grid-connection under Korean situations. KEPCO also, has a research plan on bio-gas pretreatment system applicable to our domestic swine renewable resources and is performing concept design of pilot plant to test grid operation. In addition, this testing will be conducted in order to respond to a wide variety of needs for application and economic evaluation in the field of On-site generation.

제2차 석유위기 이후 국내외에서의 에너지의 효율적인 이용을 위해 보급된 COGN시스템은 앞으로 개발을 더해야 할 과제가 남아 있음에도 불구하고 계속 증설되고 있는데 이러한 추세는 앞으로 더욱 가속화 될 것이다. 본고에서는 COGN시스템에 대해 전반적으로 다루려고 하였으나 지면관계상 국내외의 현황과 과제 및 전력계통과의 연계부분에 대해 중점적으로 다루었다. 그러나 이러한 COGN시스템의 급격한 보급에도 불구하고 해외와는 달리 국내외에서는 이에 대한 현황자료의 정리와 과제 및 운용전략 등 차후의 방향 정립에 대해 매우 미진한 실정에 있다. 따라서 전력회사, 엔지니어링 회사, 산업용 및 민새용 COGN시스템의 관련 전문가들이 가칭 [COGN시스템 연구개발위원회]를 조직하여 순차적으로 기술적, 환경적, 운용적 및 정책적인 과제 등 앞으로의 문제들을 구체적으로 심도있게 다루어야 할 것으로 사료되며, 이를 통하여 우리나라에 COGN시스템의 더 많은 보급과 효율적인 에너지 사용이 이루어질 것으로 기대된다.

The cogeneration system can operate at efficiencies greater than those achieved when heat and power are produced in separate. The optimal system can be determined by selecting the auxiliary system combined with cogeneration system. In the present study, economic investigation has been conducted with the cogeneration electric heat pump(EHP) system and the cogeneration absorption chiller(AC) system to install in a school dormitory. To analyze life cycle cost(LCC), cost items such as initial investment costs, annual energy costs and maintenance costs of each system have been considered. The initial investment cost is referred to the basis of estimated costs, and annual energy costs such as the electric power and gas consumption are based on the data in a school dormitory. LCC is evaluated with the present worth method. Considering investigated results, the initial investment cost of the cogeneration EHP system is more profitable about 24% than that of the cogeneration AC system. The energy cost of the cogeneration EHP system is more profitable about 8% than the cogeneration AC system. The LCC shows that the cogeneration EHP system is the most effective system in the school dormitory.

본 연구는 다양한 변수에 따라 달라지는 환경산업의 경제성을 비교평가히는 모델을 개발한 것이다. 최근 환경산업으로 부각되고 있는 지역난방과 개별가스난방사업을 사례로 모델을 실증적으로 적용하여 시뮬레이션하였다. 열병합발전과 보조보일러 및 쓰레기 소각로로 구성된 지역난방시스템과 소각로와 개별 가스보일러로 구성된 개별난방시스템을 각각 최적화하고 최저비용을 구하여 비교한 것이다. 분석대상에 쓰레기소각로을 첨가함으로써 매립에서 소각으로 바뀌는 쓰레기정책을 반영하였으나 소각로 규모는 사전에 열공급과는 무관하게 결정되므로 다른 시스템과 연계하여 최적화 하지 않고 600톤/일의 규모로 정하여 분석하였다. 최적화하는 경우는 훨씬 규모가 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 국가경제적인 측면에서 다양한 난방방식에 따른 규모별, 열원별, 지역별(기후별), 사용연료별로 경제성과 환경성을 비교평가함으로써 변수의 변화에 따른 합리적인 난방방식 및 사용연료를 선택하도록 하였다. 환경배출량도 동시에 비교하였으나 시나리오 간에 크게 차이가 나지않아 비교에는 포함시키지 않았다. 이 모델은 난방사업 뿐만 아니라 갈등이 예상되는 다른 환경산업들을 평가하는데도 용이하게 활용될 수 있도록 GAUSS프로그램으로 개발되어 있다.

This paper describes the strategy of a daily optimal operational scheduling on cogeneration systems with each other generation mode. The cogeneration systems consists of three generators. auxiiiary devices which are three auxiliary boilers, two waste boilers and three sludge incinerators. One unit that using the back pressure turbin generates the electrical and the thermal energy. The other two units that using the extraction condensing turbine generate the energy. Auxiliary devices operate to supplement the thermal energy to the thermal load with three units. The cogeneration system has a large capacity which is able to supply enough the thermal energy to the thermal load, however the electric power generated is insufficient to satisfy the electrical load. Therefore the insufficient electric energy is supplemented by buying electrical energy from the utility. Simulation was carried out using optimization toolbox. The result reveals that the proposed modeling and strategy can be effectively applied to cogeneration systems with each other generation mode.
