Korea adopted feed-in-tariff system for diffusing the generation using renewable energies in 2002. But, there are many debatable issues about Korea's feed-in-tariff system, such as application duration and tariff level by the renewable energies. This paper surveys problems and issues which has been discussed for two years.

In this study, we predict the generation of end-of-life photovoltaic modules when Feed in Tariff applied, in Republic of Korea. Based on the installation of photovoltaic modules, we prepared three different senarios in order to estimate the generation of end-of-life photovoltaic modules. The senarios are i) early worn-out, ii) mid worn-out and iii) late-worn out senario. We selected the mid worn-out senario to estimated the amount of end-of-life photovoltaic modules in this study. Establishment of the end-of-life module generation scenario predicted generation of end-of-life photovoltaic module, and forecasted generation amount of end-of-life module to which Feed in Tariff was applied in consideration of installed photovoltaic modules installed by Feed in Tariff support. The generation of Feed in Tariff-applied end-of-life modules increased from 2021 to 2025 compared to without Feed in Tariff, and since then, the Feed in Tariff-applied end-of-life modules were generated as waste modules during the relevant period (2021 ~ 2025).

Korea adopted feed-in-tariff system to disseminate the renewable energy generation in 2002, and amended twice this system in October 2003 and October 2004. It is weil known that feed-in-tariff system have been made with noticeable results in Europe countries. In Korea, however, there are many debatable issues about Korea's feed-in-tariff system, such as tariff level, operational period(the term of guarantee). assessment techniques This paper surveys and re-considers several problems and issues which have been discussed during the last two years.

Korea is implementing strong regulatory derives such as Feed in Tariff to provide incentives for renewable energy developers. But if the government is planning to increase the renewable capacity with only "Price policy" not considering the investors behavior in the competitive electricity market, the policy would be failed. It is necessary system thinking and simulation model analysis to decide government's incentive goal. This study is focusing on the assesment of the competitiveness of renewable energy with the current Feed in Tariff incentives compared to the traditional energy source, specially coal and gas. The simulation results show that the market penetration of renewable energy with the current Feed-in-Tariff level is about 60-70% of the government goal under condition that the solar energy and fuel cell are assumed to provide the whole capacity set in the governmental goal. If the contribution from solar and fuel cell is lower than planned, the total penetration of renewable energy will be dropped more. Notably, Wind power turned out to be proved only 10% of government goal because of its low availability.

In this paper, Residential roof top photovoltaic system with 9.9 kW design is proposed. The system composed of 200 Watts solar array 33 panels connecting in series 10 strings and parallels 3 strings which have maximum voltage and current are 350 V and 23.8 A. The 10 kW sinusoidal grid-connected inverter with window voltage about 270-350 is selected to convert and transfer DC Power to AC Power at PCC (Point of Common Coupling) of power system following to utility standard. However the impact of fluctuation and uncertainty of weather condition of PV may decrease the voltage stability and voltage collapse of power system. In order to solve this problem the energy storage such 120 V 1200 Ah battery bank and 30 kVAR capacitor are designed for voltage stability control. The other expensed for installing the system such battery charger, cable, accessories and maintenance cost are concerned. The economic analysis by using investment from money loan with interest about 7% and use own money which loss income of deposit about 3% are calculated as 671,844 and 547,044 for PV system with energy storage and non energy storage respectively. The solar energy from PV is about 101,616 Bath per year which evaluated by using the value of $5kWh/m^2/day$ from average peak sun hour (PSH) of the Thailand and 6.96 Bath/kWh of Feed in Tariff Incentive. The payback periods of four scenarios are proposed follow as i) PV system with energy storage and use loan money is 15 years ii) PV system with no energy storage and use loan money is 10 years iii) PV system with energy storage and use deposit money is 9 years iv) PV system with energy storage and use deposit money is 7 years. In addition, the other scenarios of economic analysis such no FIT support and other type of economic analysis such NPV and IRR are proposed in this paper.

본 논문은 1,185세대가 거주하고 있는 공동주택을 대상지로 하여 정부지원제도인 '태양광주택보급사업'과 '발전차액지원제도'를 각각 활용하여 PV 시스템 도입을 도입할 경우의 경제성을 비교 분석하였다. 각 시나리오별 분석 결과, 수익으로 전력판매수익 만을 고려한 경우, NPV가 보조금 지원제도는 -560백만원으로 분석되었고, 발전차액지원제도는 -87백만원으로 분석되었다. 전력판매수익과 온실가스 배출권 수익을 함께 고려한 경우에도 NPV가 보조금 지원제도는 -530백만원으로 분석되었고, 발전차액지원제도는 -57백만원으로 분석되어 모두 수익성이 없는 사업으로 나타났다. PV 시스템 도입으로 인해 회피되는 대기오염물질로 인한 사회적 편익을 함께 분석한 결과도 그 편익이 미미하여 여전히 경제성이 없는 것으로 평가된다. 할인율과 초기비용의 변동을 기준으로 민감도 분석을 한 경우, 보조금 지원제도의 경우에는 할인율을 3%까지 낮추고, 초기 설비 투자 비용을 정부 제시기준 단가인 721만원/kW에서 650만원/kW로 낮춘 것에 배출권 수익까지 포함한 경우에도 여전히 사업성이 없는 사업으로 나타났지만, 발전차액 지원 제도의 경우에는 배출권 수익을 포함하지 않고도 할인율 약 7.2%와 초기 설비투자비용 684만원/kW에서 각각 손익분기점이 되면서 수익성이 있는 사업으로 전환되어 발전차액지원제도가 PV 시스템 도입에 훨씬 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 비용을 고려한 경우에는 보조금제도를 활용한 모든 시나리오는 배출권 수익과 환경편익을 모두 포함하여도 수익성이 없는 사업으로 나타났으나, 발전차액지원제도를 활용한 시나리오의 경우에는 배출권 수입을 제외하고도 할인율 7.2%와 초기비용 686만원/kW가 각각 손익분기점이 되면서 수익성이 있는 사업으로 전환되었다. 본 연구의 결과, 할인율이 7.2% 이하가 되든지 초기 설비투자비용이 정부 제시 기준 단가보다 4.9% 낮아진다면 발전차액지원제도 하에서도 공동주택의 태양광발전시스템이 경제성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 우리나라의 높은 아파트 보급률과 PV 시스템 도입으로 발생하는 긍정적인 사회적 환경적 편익을 고려하면 공동주택의 태양광 시설 설치에 대해 발전차액지원제도를 확대 지원함으로써 화석연료의 사용을 절감하고, 온실가스 배출을 줄여서 에너지자급도 제고와 기후변화에 대한 대응을 통해 녹색성장에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In 2012, Korea introduced a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) scheme, replacing the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme as a market support policy of renewable energy in the electricity market. RPS is to allocate obligatory quota of renewable energy sources for electricity suppliers, whereas FIT is to guarantee high prices for electricity from renewable energy sources. This study examines the effect of this policy change on solar photovoltaic market. According to the study, solar PV market grew fast under FIT as well as under RPS. However, under RPS the size of subsidy for solar PV suppliers was shrunk substantially. In addition, market risk increased severly under RPS due to the volatility of price of renewable energy certificate (REC) as well as of the electricity market price. The small and medium suppliers of solar PV were suffered the most severly from these policy effects. Therefore, the policy reform of RPS is needed to alleviate the market risk of small and medium suppliers of solar PV.

Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a regulatory policy that requires the generation companies to increase the proportion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, LFG, fuel cell, and small hydro. Recently, Korean government decided to increase the portion of renewable energy to 3% to total electricity generation by 2012 from the current level of 0.13%. To achieve this goal, an innovative plan for market competitiveness would be required in addition to the present Feed-In-Tariff (FIT). That is Korean government has taken it into consideration to introduce a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) as an alternative to FIT. This paper reviews the impact of RPS on the long-term fuel mix in 2020. The studies have been carried out with the GATE-PRO (Generation And Transmission Expansion PROgram) program, a mixed-integer non-linear program developed by Hongik university and Korea Energy Economics Institute. Detailed studies on long-term fuel mix in Korea have been carried out with four RPS scenarios of 3%, 5%, 10% and 20%. The important findings and comments on the results are given to provide an insight on future regulatory policies.
