Abstract
This paper dealt with the economic analysis on the application of shipboard LED (Light Emitting Diode) luminaires to replace incandescent and fluorescent lamps, which account for over 80 % of light source on a training or naval vessel. The rates of savings achieved in the power consumption, initial investment, maintenance cost, and fuel cost were analyzed. The break-even points and the $CO_2$ emissions were also calculated. For the training vessel, the initial investment was increased by 3.8 times, while the maintenance cost over five years was reduced by 51 %. When 40 %, 50 %, and 60 % of luminaires were turned on, the calculated break-even points were 11 months, 9 months, and 7 months, respectively. On the other hand, the initial investment was increased by 3.5 times while the maintenance cost over five years was saved by 55 % for the naval vessel. The break-even points were calculated as 15 months, 12 months, and 10 months, respectively. Moreover, the $CO_2$ emissions of the training and the naval vessels were reduced by 69 % and 65 %, respectively. From the results, it was revealed that the maintenance cost can be reduced by more than 50 %, and that the power consumption, fuel cost, and $CO_2$ emissions can be reduced by more than 60 % if LED luminaires are used on two types of vessels.
본 논문에서는 실습선과 함정의 광원으로 80 % 이상을 차지하는 백열등 및 형광등기구를 대체하기 위한 선박용 LED 등기구의 경제성 분석에 관하여 기술하였다. 소비전력, 초기투자비용, 유지비용 및 유류비에 대한 절감률을 분석하였고, 탄소배출량과 손익분기점을 산출하였다. 실습선의 초기투자비용은 3.8배 상승하였지만, 5년간 유지비용은 51 % 절감되었다. 40 %, 50 % 및 60 %의 점등률에 따른 손익분기점은 각각 11개월, 9개월 및 7개월로 산출하였다. 함정의 초기 투자비용은 3.5배 상승하였지만, 5년간 유지비용은 55 % 절감되었다. 40 %, 50 % 및 60 %의 점등률에 따른 손익분기점은 각각 15개월, 12개월 및 10개월로 산출하였다. 또한 실습선과 함정의 탄소배출량은 각각 69 % 및 65 % 절감되었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 실습선과 함정에 LED 등기구를 적용한다면, 50 % 이상의 유지비용 절약과 60 % 이상의 소비전력, 유류비 절감 및 탄소배출량이 감소될 것으로 판단된다.
