| Abstract |
A technological advance has triggered both an increasing power consumption with electric power inflation and an environmental destruction. For solving these problems, this study suggests new renewable energy industry as alternative energy industry. To be clear, the new renewable energy industry makes the best use of natural environment in its natural state. Therefore, there are some advantages from environment-friendly industry and some disadvantage of unstable power production and supply owing to limitation of natural environment. For a development of new renewable energy industry as future-oriented industry, it should have been developed from a facility industry type with a large-scale planning site to a technology-intensive industry type with a small-scale planning site. So, it should consider an interrelationship between power plant capacity and related power grid. In the new renewable energy industry, the small hydro power plant has some limitation in investment and technical development due to ambiguous boundary with the medium and mini power plant. As a result, this study suggests new standard of classification and direction of development in associated industry based on its connectivity of electrical power systems. |
