| Abstract |
Most energy generating systems in island areas are diesel energy generation using fossil fuel. The transportation cost of fossil fuel to the
island areas makes generation cost three to four times more expensive. To solve this economic loss, the establishment of energy independent
island through introduction of renewable energy generation system in the island areas is being considered. Prior research are generally focus
on major island areas such as Jejudo, Ulleungdo and Gapado etc. However, to verify about applying renewable energy generation systems on
the island areas, considering the all types of characteristic of the island areas such as high economic loss from energy generation or small
population of less than 100 people is essential. This study is conducted as case study on Baengnyeongdo which has high economic loss and
Oedo which has small population of less than 100 people. To examine the feasibility of applying renewable energy generation system in
Baengnyeongdo and Oedo, a combination of existing diesel energy generation system and renewable energy generation system was proposed
and economic analysis using NPV(Net Present Value) and LCOE(Levelized Cost of Energy) was proceeded. The experiment was conducted
using simulation, HOMER(Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) was used as simulation program. Environment and weather
data of Baengnyeongdo and Oedo and renewable energy genration system data obtained from KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation),
NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and HOMER were used as simulation dataset. The optimal combination of energy generation
system for Baengnyeongdo and Oedo was proposed and it was confirmed that there would be economic benefits if the introduction of the
renewable energy generation system continued for more than 9 years. |
