The project to utilize kenaf as thermal power plant fuel has a positive effect on the unused energy utilization, greenhouse gas reduction, and farm income. However, it is analyzed that it is difficult to secure economical efficiency because the fuel cost of kenaf is higher than that of power by thermal power plant and Renewable Energy Certification (REC). The project of power generation using kenaf is meet the government's major policies, while government support is essential for securing economical efficiency. As a result of the sensitivity analysis on the ratio of the government subsidies, to secure economical efficiency, the power generation prices using kenaf through the direct financial support of the government indicate that 47% and 76% of kenaf fuel cost are supported by government in case of the Saemangeum reclamation and Gangneung-si, respectively. In the case of the government indirect policy support, if kenaf is included as a renewable energy source of Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard and REC is granted, the economic efficiency of Saemangeum reclamation and Gangneung-si is obtained when REC secured at 1.05 or more and 2.43 or more, respectively. The results of this study are meaningful in that the direct and indirect effects of the government on the development of the herbaceous energy crop, kenaf, were evaluated economically. These results are to suggest the need for demonstration study, but economics analyze and evaluate are necessary based on operational data through the demonstration phase in the future.

We have estimated power generation potential in Korea following the recently announced EGS protocol. According to the protocol, we calculated the theoretical potential first, which assumes 30 year operation, minimum temperature being surface temperature+$80^{\circ}C$, depth range being from 3 km to 10 km. In this new assessment the in-land area was digitized by 1' by 1' blocks, which is much finer than suggestion of the protocol (5'by 5'). Thus estimated theoretical potential reaches 6,975 GWe which is 92 times of the total power generation capacity in 2010. In the estimation of technical potential, we limited the depth range down to 6.5 km, assumed recovery factor as 0.14 and also counted for temperature drawdown factor of $10^{\circ}C$ following the protocol. Accessible in-land area excluding steep mountains, residence and industrial region, wet area and others covers 40.7% of total area. Finally, we could come up with 19.6 GWe for technical potential, which would be 56 GWe if we do not account for the temperature drawdown factor. These are important results in that we made the first potential assessment for geothermal power generation.

현재 국내 신재생에너지 보급 정책은 RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard; 공급의무화제도)이다. 대용량 발전사업자는 신재생 의무공급량을 직접 생산하거나 REC(Renewable Energy Certificates; 공급인증서) 구매를 통해서 확보한다. 정부는 신재생 에너지원의 경제적, 사회적 가치를 평가하여 각 에너지원에 가중치를 매기는 REC 가중치를 여러 차례 개정했으며 의무공급 비율도 점차 증가하도록 개정했다. 본 연구는 정부의 정책이 관련 산업에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 데 도움이 된다. 태양광발전에 관한 REC 가중치 개정과 신재생 의무공급량이 태양광 설비량에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 태양광 설비량을 종속변수로 시계열 분석과 의무공급량에 대한 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 REC 가중치 개정과 의무공급량 증가는 태양광 설비량 증가에 유의미한 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the method of ESS energy capacity calculation for stand-alone renewable energy generation system consisting of photovoltaic energy. There is almost no power from photovoltaic system during sunless days. So this source is very weak in terms of the power supply reliability. To improve problem of power supply, battery is mainly used Energy Storage System(ESS). The number of sunless days and Depth of Discharge(DOD) is important factor to determine energy capacity of battery. However, a many study for economical design is required due to the high cost of ESS. In this paper, we propose the new method of ESS energy capacity calculation by applying different DOD for operation with and without sun. We determine the Battery capacity using higher DOD of operation during sunless day than the DOD of the normal operation. And we carried out an economic analysis of the calculation results.

This study aims to devise and analyze a power generation system combining the solid oxide fuel cell and oxy-fuel combustion technology. The fuel cell operates at an elevated pressure, a constituting a SOFC/gas turbine hybrid system. Oxygen is extracted from the high pressure cathode exit gas using ion transport membrane technology and supplied to the oxy-fuel power system. The entire system generates much more power than the fuel cell only system due to increased fuel cell voltage and power addition from oxy-fuel system. More than one third of the power comes out of the oxy-fuel system. The system efficiency is also higher than that of the fuel cell only system. Recovering most of the generated carbon dioxide is major advantage of the system.

For a proper valuation of wind power project, it is necessary to consider volatilities of key parameters such as annual energy production, electricity sales price, and long term interest rate. Real option methodology allows to calculate option values of these parameters. Volatilities to be considered in wind project valuation are 1) annual energy production (AEP) estimation due to meteorological variation and estimation errors in wind speed distribution, 2) changes in system marginal price (SMP), and 3) interest rate fluctuation of project financing which provides refinancing option to be exercised during a loan tenor for commercial scale projects. Real option valuation turns out to be more than half of the sales value based on a case study for a FIT scheme wind project that was sold to a financial investor.

태양광 발전은 신재생에너지 중 가장 친숙한 발전시설로 약 10여 년 전부터 보급이 확대되기 시작해 현재 시점에서는 시스템의 유지보수관리에 대한 해결 및 기술에 관한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히 태양광 발전시스템의 이상 유무 및 부품 교체시기 그리고 시스템의 종합효율을 최대화할 수 있는 대책이 필요하다. 태양광발전시스템의 한 요소인 PV 인버터는 전력용 스위칭 소자에 의존하는 전력변환 시스템으로 DC/DC 컨버터 및 DC-AC 인버터 구성에 따른 직류(DC-Link) 커패시터가 사용된다. 이러한 직류 커패시터 역시 장시간 사용에 따른 노후 및 열화로 인해 PV 인버터의 발전량 감소와 전력손실 그리고 고조파(THD, 교류출력전류 종합왜형률) 증가로 신재생에너지 설비를 통한 계통 안전성(Safety)에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 분석할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양광발전시스템에서 현재 운영 중인 직류 커패시터 용량 상태에 따른 PV 인버터 동작 특성을 고찰함과 동시에 신재생에너지 설비의 안전성 및 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있도록 연구내용을 제안하였다.
