Abstract

This study aims to propose a new optimization-based approach for design and analysis of the stand-alone hybrid energy supply system using renewable energy sources (RES). In the energy supply system, we include multiple energy production technologies such as Photovoltaics (PV), Wind turbine, and fossil-fuel-based AC generator along with different types of energy storage and conversion technologies such as battery and inverter. We then select six different regions of Korea to represent various characteristics of different RES potentials and demand profiles. We finally designed and analyzed the optimal RES stand-alone energy supply system in the selected regions using multiobjective optimization (MOOP) technique, which includes two objective functions: the minimum cost and the minimum $CO_2$ emission. In addition, we discussed the feasibility and expecting benefits of the systems by comparing to conventional systems of Korea. As a result, the region of the highest RES potential showed the possibility to remarkably reduce $CO_2$ emissions compared to the conventional system. Besides, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the RES-based energy system is identified to be slightly higher than conventional energy system: 0.35 and 0.46 $/kWh, respectively. However, the total life-cycle emission of $CO_2$ ($LCE_{CO2}$) can be reduced up to 470 g$CO_2$/kWh from 490 g$CO_2$/kWh of the conventional systems.

본 연구에서는 다목적 최적화 기법을 이용하여 다양한 신재생에너지 자원 기반 통합 에너지 공급 시스템을 설계 및 평가 한다. 본 연구에서는 에너지 공급 시스템의 주요 구성요소로써 태양광 모듈, 풍력터빈 및 화석연료 기반 발전장치 등 에너지 생산 기술을 비롯하여 배터리와 인버터 등의 전력 에너지 저장 및 변환 장치 등도 포함한다. 특히, 6개의 한국 대표 지역을 선별하여 각 지역의 에너지 요구량 및 실제 신재생 에너지 자원 데이터를 기반으로 최적의 독립 통합 에너지 공급 시스템을 설계하였으며, 총 소요비용, 단위에너지비용 및 생애주기 이산화탄소 배출 분석 등, 다양한 지표를 이용하여 시스템의 경제성 및 환경성을 분석한다. 특히 다목적최적화 기법을 이용하여 최소 비용과 최소 이산화탄소 배출 등 두 목적함수를 동시에 만족하는 파레토 솔루션을 규명함으로써 신재생 자원 기반 독립 에너지 공급 시스템 설계의 가능성 및 효과를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 신재생에너지 자원이 좋은 지역일수록 시스템 구축 비용 증가에 따른 이산화탄소 절감 효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 신재생에너지 자원 기반 에너지 공급 시스템의 전력 단가는 현재 기존 단가보다 평균 0.35~0.46 $/kWh높게 나타났으며, 이산화탄소 배출량의 경우 기존 배출량보다 470~490 g$CO_2$/kWh정도의 저감효과를 보임을 분석하였다.
