Abstract

Demand Response Market (DR Market) has risen as one of the key solutions to address the growth and fluctuation of electricity consumptions. In Korea, DR market has been in operation since 2014, where the focus has been mainly on large-scale loads. Small-scale DR market, however, is becoming increasingly important because small power consumers' contribution to the national power consumption has been increasing and because small loads tend to show large fluctuations. Furthermore, small-scale DR can improve social awareness on energy issues which can bring additional impacts. In this paper, we provide the findings from a small-scale consumer DR pilot. The pilot was conducted in the summer of 2016 on over 5,000 small-scale users in Korea, and smartphone applications were used in the pilot. The effectiveness of small-scale DR Market is analyzed and addressed, and the results indicate a promising future of small-scale DR Market.

최근 지속적인 전력 수요 증가와 이에 따른 사회적 비용 및 갈등 해결을 위한 방안으로 수요자원 거래시장(Demand Response Market)의 활성화가 크게 대두되고 있다. 국내의 경우 2014년부터 수요자원 거래시장을 운영 중이나 대규모 수요자원 거래에 집중하고 있다. 하지만, 전력 소비 비중의 증가, 큰 감축 유동성, 항상 활용 가능, 사회 인식 개선 등의 면에서 소규모 전력 소비자의 시장 참여는 성공적인 수요자원 거래시장 운영의 핵심적 요소로 볼 수 있다. 이 논문은 2016년 여름 스마트폰 어플리케이션을 활용하여 5,000명 이상의 소규모 전력 소비자를 대상으로 한 인센티브 기반(incentive-based) 수요반응(Demand Response) 프로그램의 실제 시범운영 결과를 분석하고 그 효과를 검증하며, 이를 통하여 소규모 전력 소비자 대상 수요자원 거래시장의 가능성을 제시한다.
