The paper estimated the reasonable market price of lead-acid battery energy storage system (BESS) intended for demand management of electricity customers. As time-of-use (TOU) tariffs have extended to a larger number of customers and gaps in the peak and off-peak rates have gradually risen, deployment of BESS has been highly needed. However, immature engineering techniques, lack of field experiences and high initial investment cost have been barriers to opening up ESS markets. This paper assessed electricity cost that BESS operation could save for customers and, based on the possible cost savings, estimated reasonable prices at which BESSs could become a more prospective option for demand management of customers. Battery scheduling was optimized to maximize the electricity cost savings that BESS would possibly achieve under TOU tariffs conditions. Basic economic factors such as payback period and return on investment were calculated to determine reasonable market prices. Actual load data of 12 industrial customers were used for case studies.

For electricity markets to function in a truly competitive and efficient manner, it is not enough to focus solely on improving the efficiencies of power supply. To recognize price-responsive load as a reliability resource, the customer must be provided with price signals and an instrument to respond to these signals, preferably automatically. This paper attempts to develop the Windows-based load management system in competitive electricity markets, allowing the user to monitor the current energy consumption or billing information, to analyze the historical data, and to implement the consumption strategy for cost savings with nine possible scenarios adopted. Finally, this modeling framework will serve as a template containing the basic concepts that any load management system should address.

장거리 용수공급 시스템에서 전력비용은 전체 운영비용의 큰 부분을 차지한다. 본 연구는 시간단위의 펌프와 배수지 시스템의 최적 운영계획을 평가하기 위해 동적계획기법에 기초한 방법론을 제시하고 있다. 해석방법은 운영비용 최소화 관점에서 펌프용량 확대를 전제로 현재 가용 펌프의 효율적 운전과 전력요금체계, 시간별 용수수요 추이 그리고 배수지 특성과 송수관로의 제약조건 등을 고려하였다. 이를 위해 적용 가능한 시스템 운영목적과 제약조건이 제시되었고 개발된 방법은 수도권 광역상수도 양주계통의 2개 가압장과 5개 배수지를 대상으로 적용하였다. 적용결과는 펌프 확장의 경우 상당한 수준의 운전비용을 절감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이와 같은 방법은 기존 시스템의 최적운영은 물론 생애주기 비용 최소화 측면에서 신규 용수공급 체계의 설계 등에 적절히 활용될 수 있다.

This paper presents a window-based load management system (LMS) developed as a decision-making tool in the competitive electricity market The developed LMS can help the users to monitor system load patterns, analyze their past energy consumption and schedule for the future energy consumption. The LMS can also provide the effective information on real-time energy/cost monitoring, consumed energy/cost analysis, demand schedule and cost-savings. Therefore. this LMS can be used to plan the optimal demand schedule and consumption strategy.

The paper proposes an optimal sizing method of a customer's battery energy storage system (BESS) which aims at managing the electricity demand of the customer to minimize electricity cost under the time of use(TOU) pricing. Peak load limit of the customer and charging and discharging schedules of the BESS are optimized on annual basis to minimize annual electricity cost, which consists of peak load related basic cost and actual usage cost. The optimal scheduling is used to assess the maximum cost savings for all sets of candidate capacities of BESS. An optimal size of BESS is determined from the cost saving curves via capacity of BESS. Case study uses real data from an apartment-type factory customer and shows how the proposed method can be employed to optimally design the size of BESS for customer demand management.

Demand Side Management (DSM) activities have been designed to encourage customers to modify their patterns of electricity consumption including the timing and level of electricity demand. The role of DSM has been more and more important in the point of social energy utilization on the limited resources. The objectives of DSM are generally related to load reductions and generation cost savings. This paper presents an approach to B/C analysis to evaluate the impact of DSM programs especially on the strategic conservation and the load management programs. The proposed approach embedding the existing B/C analyses is applicable to the new electricity market. Case studies show the B/C ratio and the avoided cost due to the impact of DSM programs.

The impact evaluation of a DSM program is a very important issue since the results are used to determine the sustainability of a program. In general. to estimate the impacts of a DSM program it is required to measure the electricity usage changes before and after a program. Since the measurement-based approaches cost highly, most of the conventional evaluations are based on the average figures. However estimation of the average-based impacts can lead to both distorted results of over/under estimation of kW and kWh savings and non-optimal DSM planning. In this paper, we have developed a new multi-point measurement approach which can evaluate kW and kWh savings of a DSM program more exactly. To do this, the saving rate and operating rate are defined and set as the function of load factor of a customer, and these rates are incorporated with the conventional diffusion function of Bass to project the future impacts of a DSM program. The case study is performed on the inverter program of Korea by using the suggested approach.

Purpose: To evaluate the economic performance of grid-connected photovoltaic system in residential house, household electricity bill policy of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) must be applied precisely, and market tendency and uncertainty of system also need to be considered. In this study, to evaluate the economic feasibility of PV system, we measured PV power generation and electricity consumption of six of Green home in Daejeon through web based remote monitoring system. Method: We applied Monte-Carlo simulation based on life cycle cost analysis, to reflect an uncertainty of main factor in economic feasibility evaluation of photovoltaic system. Result: First, with deterministic analysis, the difference of NPV of cumulative financial savings among households varied from -3,310 ~ 24,170 thousand won, portraying notably big range. Also the possibility of getting the same result was 50% when applying uncertainty. Second, the higher electricity consumption is, the more economic feasibility of photovoltaic system increases because KEPCO uses progressive taxation in household electricity bill policy. Third, The contribution to variance of electricity price increases in NPV varied from 98.5% to 99.9%. While the inflation rate and annual degradation contributed very little to none.

본 논문에서는 국내 제조업 가운데 전력 사용량이 상대적으로 많은 화합물 및 화학제품 산업을 대상으로 암묵 (shadow) 비용함수를 사용하여 전력 등의 투입요소 간 효율적 배분 여부를 검증하고 전력의 적정수준 대비 과잉 투입 규모를 조사한다. 기업의 비용최소화 달성을 전제로 각 투입요소에 대한 수요의 가격탄력성을 추정하여 전력요금 인상에 대한 각 요소 수요의 파급효과를 모의실험을 통하여 분석한다. 또한 공급관계식을 비용함수의 방정식체계에 추가하여 동시 추정함으로써 전력요금 10% 인상 시 물가지수에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 실증분석 결과, 1982-2006년 기간 동안 '투입요소 간 효율적 배분 달성'의 귀무가설은 기각되었으며, 전력은 적정수준 대비 평균적으로 매년 약 98% 과잉 사용되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 요인들이 불변하다면 전력요금이 10% 인상될 경우 전력 수요는 약 11.4% 감소하였으며, 공급가격은 평균적으로 0.08% 하락하는 것으로 나타났다.
