최근 지방자치단체에서는 농업용 취수보를 이용한 소수력발전에 관심을 가지고 지자체내의 유휴자원인 하천유수를 이용하여 소수력발전을 함으로써 환경친화적인 에너지를 생산하여 석유 등 에너지 수입대체 효과와 전력수요 급증시의 부하평준화에 기여하고자 하고 있다. 이는 정부의 "저탄소 녹색성장의 에너지정책"에 부응하는 것이며, 또한 하천에 소규모 인공호수를 조성함으로써 소수력발전소 인근지역의 경관개선과 관광자원화에 기여함은 물론 농업용수 공급과 하천유지수를 조정하여 안전한 하천으로서 그 기능을 하도록 계획한 것이다. 이와 병행하여 소수력발전소에서 발생한 무공해 청정에너지를 생산함으로써 전 세계적으로 관심이 높아지고 있는 '온실가스 배출 감축' 노력에 동참함으로써 선진형 기후변화 대응체계에 적응할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업용 취수보를 대상으로 소수력 발전시설의 성능분석 기법을 이용하여 소수력발전시설적용 타당성을 조사 분석하였다. 그림 1은 농업용 취수보인 북평보의 유역면적도를 나타내고, 그림 2는 북평보에 소수력발전시설을 적용할 경우의 부하특성을 나타낸다.

In this research, a novel multi-converter system for the fuel cell diagnostics and the load leveling function under varying load condition is proposed. The proposed system is composed of two converters and operates in two different modes. In the normal mode operation the additional bidirectional converter is used for the load leveling and in the diagnostic mode it is used for implementing integral diagnostics by way of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The proposed method can perform the EIS for fuel cell under varying load conditions with no influence to the load. The validity and feasibility of the proposed system is verified by the experiments and the design procedure of the proposed system is detailed.

The development of smart grid technologies will enable enhanced utilization of electric vehicles(EV) as portable energy storage devices which can provide power system-wide. Because significant increase of EV in the near future, V2G(Vehicle-to-Grid) system will soon become a reality. This paper presents the optimal method of a battery lifetime depending on depth of discharge(DOD) considering load leveling.

The geothermal heat pump systems were installed for heating and cooling of public buildings in Jincheon Eco-friendly Energy town. The heat pump system was operated at night to save on operational costs, and the cold heat was stored in thermal energy storage (TES). In this study, the performance of geothermal heat pump systems with the TES during the summer season was analyzed, and the operational costs with and without the TES were compared. The electric chiller model was used to simulate a heat pump applied without the TES system. Electric rates of each system were measured to calculate operational costs. When the TES is used in the air conditioning system, the electric load (30.4 MWh) calculated in the daytime can move to off-peak load time, and the operational cost is reduced by 36~54%.

This paper proposes the components of the energy management system (EMS) for optimum operation of renewable energy and associated energy storage system (ESS), the functions to be considered in designing, the analysis of operational effects, and finally the reduction of electricity costs. To accomplish the objectives, a lithium-ion battery system and an energy management system have installed in a PV system, and it presents the results analyzed with operation data for a year. To increase the system operation efficiency, we propose the effect that EMS is used to replace the demand power at the peak time with the charge power at the light load time, which suggests the influence of contributing to the charge benefit and load leveling according to the ESS tariff.

This paper addresses unit commitment for microgrid optimization including renewable energy sources, working under deregulated power market. As microgrid supplies both heat and electricity for consumer, operational optimization must be done to meet their demand economically. So renewable energy sources are considered to be negative load, and batteries are used as the load flattening device to raise possibly operational function. In the state of solution, the program is developed to solve out the maximum profit of microgrid using dynamic programming method. Finally, its validity is verified through case study in isolation mode and interconnected mode. The S/W will be used to operate microgrid economically after the market of microgrid is formed.

In electricity industry, the improvement of load factor by flattening of load has been considered to be more important than any other tasks and has received wide concern and interest. Especially while annual peak load had occured early evening in winter during past decades, but we found the trend has changed so that annual peak load occured during the daytime in summer since1981 The useful practicing methods of this load management ale as follows; 1. Inducing of midnight load by thermal storage water heating 2. Seasonal differential rates. 3. Revising the peak load priceing (Time-of -use) It seems hard to expect that load research can be carried out in a short time, and we all have to exert outselves continuously to provide efficient load management method without wasting resources.

The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has lots of advantages such as load leveling, quick response emergency power (spinning reserve), frequency and voltage control, improvement of reliability, and deferred generation and transmission construction. However, it is very critical that economic feasibility requires justification from the customer side of meter to promoting the dissemination of BESS in nation widely. In this paper, we proposed the economic assessment model of customer owned BESS which is complemented and improved the existing model. The proposed model is applied to the typical customer types, i.e. light industrial, commercial, and residential, which are taken from the statistical analysis on the load profile survey of Korea Electric Power COmpany (KEPCO). The economic viability performed for each customer load type to justifying their economic feasibility of BESS installation from the economic measures such as payback period, Net Present Worth (NPW), Rate Of Return (ROR). The results show that the BESS has economic benefits to the specific customer type, i.e. residential customer. Therefore, the government and the energy agency should be committing the support program, such as tax incentive, financial support, to disseminate the BESS nation widely. The results of this paper are useful to the customer investment decision-making and the national energy policy & strategy in Korea.
