Hydrogen, as a future energy source, is thought as an alternative of fossil fuel in view of environment and energy security. Hydrogen has the properties of both fuel and electricity so that it can make the energy paradigm shift in the future. Therefore, researches on hydrogen in power system area are essential and urgent due to their huge effects on current paradigm. In this paper, the visions and technical challenges of hydrogen in power system are reviewed as energy storage, dispersed generation (DG), DC generator, and combined heat and power (CHP).

The purpose of this study is to build promotive measures and to develop alternative policies of DG(Distributed Generation) by finding and analysing effects of four business environment factors related to DEPB(District Electricity Power Business) on boosting DG. In this study, four business environment factors, which are the electric power industry restructuring, electricity tariff and pricing structure, regulations for DEPB, and conflicts of stake-holding groups, are considered as independent variables. And promotion factors of DG including small CHP(Combined Heat and Power) generation, which is outcome of DEPB, are considered as dependent variables. But dependent variables including booming of new renewable energy generation due to green energy pricing incentives, the electric power industry restructuring, and electricity tariff and pricing policies were separatively considered. In this study, some policies were proposed reflecting research results of empirical demonstrative analysis, previous studies, overseas cases, etc.

In this study, acombined cogeneration power plant produced two types of thermal energy and electric or mechanical power in a single process. The performance of each component of the gas turbine-combined cogeneration system was expressed as a function of the fuel consumption of the entire system, and the heat and electricity performance of each component. The entire system consisted of two gas turbines in the upper system, and two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), a steam turbine, and two district heat exchangers in the lower system. In the gas turbine combined cogeneration system, the performance test after 10,000 hours of operation time, which is subject to an ASME PTC 46 performance test, was carried out by the installation of various experimental facilities. The performance of the overall output and power plant efficiency was also analyzed. Based on the performance test data, the test results were compared to confirm the change in performance. This study performed thermodynamic system analysis of gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators, and steam turbines to obtain the theoretical results. A comparison was made between the theoretical and actual values of the total heat generation value of the entire system and the heat released to the atmosphere, as well as the theoretical and actual efficiencies of the electrical output and thermal output. The test results for the performance characteristics of the gas turbine combined cogeneration power plant were compared with the thermodynamic efficiency characteristics and an error of 0.3% was found.

미래의 전력 시스템은 환경과 기술적인 이유로 인해 더욱더 많은 분산전원을 이용하게 될 것이다. 분산전원은 서로 다른 특징을 가지고 있고 또한 배전계통에서 기존의 계통운영과는 다른 형태로 운전될 것이다. 이런 관점에서 다수의 분산전원을 모아 하나의 가상의 발전소로 운영하는 개념이 등장하게 되었는데, 이를 Virtual Power Plant(VPP)라고 한다. VPP는 매니지먼트 시스템이 관리하는 여러 클러스터들로 이루어져 있으며 이들 클러스터들은 각각 여러 종류의 분산전원으로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터를 이루는 분산전원을 어떻게 운영하는 것이 최적의 경제적 효율을 지닐 수 있을 지에 대해 논의하게 될 것이다. 디젤 발전기의 출력의 경우 그 소유자에 의해 제어가 가능하지만, 태양광 발전 시스템의 경우 기상 상태에 따라 그 출력이 결정된다. 따라서 이러한 각각의 특성을 고려하여 본 논문에서는 디젤, CHP(Combined Heat and Power), 보일러, 태양광발전으로 구성된 복합 시스템에서 각 시간별로 수용가의 전력 및 열 수요와 분산전원의 에너지 생산을 비교하여 VPP 최적 운영 계획을 구성하였다.

This paper presents a basic energy performance data of micro gas turbine, Renewable Energy(BIPV and Solar Collector System, geothermal system) and a hybrid energy system(geothermal system and microturbine) installed in Hospital Building. The efficiency of solar collector and BIPV system was 30%, 10% individually, and lower than micro gas turbines. Micro gas turbines are small gas turbines that bum gaseous and liquid fuels to produce a high-energy exhaust gas and to generate the electrical power. Recently, the size range for micro gas turbines is form 30 to 500kW and power-only generation or in combined heat and power(CHP) systems. Finally, in energy performance aspect, Micro gas turbine system and hybrid energy system were high-efficiency system in hospital building. Hybrid energy system also give us a powerful alternative energy system economically.

As new small scale LFG (landfill gas) energy project model which can improve economic feasibility limited due to the economy of scale, LFG-Microturbine combined heat and power system with $CO_2$ fertilization into greenhouses was proposed and investigated including basic design process prior to the system installation at Gwang-ju metro sanitary landfill. The system features $CH_4$ enrichment for stable microturbine operation, reduction of compressor power consumption and low CO emission, and $CO_2$ supplement into greenhouse for enhancement plant growth. From many other researches, high $CO_2$ concentration was found to enhance $CO_2$ assimilation (also known as photosynthesis reaction) which converts $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ to sugar using light energy. For small scale landfills which produce LFG under $3\;m^3$/min, among currently available prime movers, microturbine is the most suitable power generation system and its low electric efficiency can be improved with heat recovery. Besides, since its exhaust gas contains very low level of harmful contaminants to plant growth such as NOx, CO and SOx, microturbine exhaust gas is a suitable and economically advantageous $CO_2$ source for $CO_2$ fertilization in greenhouse. The LFG-Microturbine combined heat and power generation system with $CO_2$ fertilization into greenhouse gas to enhance plant growth is technologically and economically feasible and improves economical feasibility compared to other small scale LFG energy project model.

발전기의 기동정지계획(unit commitment)에 있어서 전통적인 방식은 발전기를 기동/정지하는데 드는 비용(cost)을 기반으로 결정해 왔다. 그러나 전력시장의 변화에 따라 반전기의 기동정지계획에 전력 요금(price)의 중요성이 인식되면서 요금에 기반한 기동정지계획에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. (1) 본 논문에서는 이러한 요금 기반 기동정지계획을 한국의 전력시장 환경에서 소형열병합발전기(micro-CHP(combined heat and power))에 적용해 본다. 한국의 전력시장에서 주택에 사용되는 전력 요금에 대해서는 누진제가 적용된다. 그러므로 븐 논문에서는 아파트에 설치된 소형열병합발전기의 요금 기반 기동정지계획의 시뮬레이션 결과를 분석함으로써 전력 요금의 누진제가 기동정지계획에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

지금까지 연료전지 시스템의 효율을 극대화시키기 위한 기술들이 개발되어 왔는데, 대표적인 방법은 CHP(Combined Heat & power)와 FCT(Fuel cell & Turbine) Hybrid 시스템이다. 그러나 본 연구의 기술은 연료전지 배열을 이용한 Coanda 공기증폭기를 장착한 새로운 개념의 고효율 연료전지 시스템이다. 원래 공기 증폭기는 완만한 곡면 주위를 흐르는 유체가 곡면의 표면을 따라 흐름의 방향이 바뀌는 원리(Coanda Effect)를 이용한 장치로서, 소량의 고압유체를 구동 에너지원으로 사용하여 최고 20배에 해당하는 많은 양의 주변 유체를 빠른 속도로 이송시키는 역할을 한다. 문제는 고압의 유체원을 만드는 것인데, 본 연구에서는 발전용 연료전지 시스템의 배기가스를 활용하여 먼저 고압의 수증기를 발생시키고, 다음으로 고압의 수증기를 공기 증폭기의 구동원으로 사용함으로써 연료전지 시스템의 Air blower를 대체하는 것이다. 이러한 개념을 검증하기 위해서 고압의 스팀작동 Coanda 공기증폭기를 제작하여 선행실험을 진행하였다. 먼저 공기증폭기의 Gap 및 스팀압력에 따른 공기유량, 압력 등의 기본특성을 조사하였고, 출력 공기의 특성을 개선하기 공기증폭기의 형상 및 재료를 새롭게 설계하였다. 그리고 실제 시스템의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위해서, 예로 300kW급 용융탄산염 연료전지 발전시스템의 Air blower 대체가능성을 확인하였고, 배열이용 Coanda 공기증폭기를 활용한 고효율 연료전지 시스템의 개념설계를 수립하였다. 결론적으로 본 기술을 활용하면 연료전지 시스템의 최종 전기효율을 향상시킬 뿐 아니라는 시스템의 장기 신뢰성을 증대시키는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.
