Abstract

The global warming of the Korean Peninsula proceeds most rapidly in the world and its abnormal climate is more deepening. In the result of the surged electricity consumption by intense heat of summer and severe cold of winter, electricity supply and demand status is in hard situation. Currently, the supply of natural gas is increased because natural gas has the lowest greenhouse-gas emissions among the existed fossil fuel. Natural gas cooling has a lot of advantage such as decreasing electricity peak, reducing construction expenses in additional power plant, operating natural gas storage facilities efficiently, and playing a role as distributed generations. Therefore, this study analyzes the economic feasibilities of gas cooling as an alternative for electric power load management.

한반도의 지구 온난화는 세계에서 가장 빠른 속도로 진행되고 있고, 이상기후 현상도 날로 심화되고 있다. 따라서 하절기의 혹서와 동절기의 혹한으로 인한 전력수요가 급증함에 따라 우리나라의 전력 수급상황은 매우 어려운 상황에 있다. 현재 천연가스는 현존하는 화석연료 중 온실가스 배출이 가장 적어서 공급이 확산되고 있다. 천연가스냉방은 전력피크 완화는 물론, 발전소 추가 건설비용의 절감, 천연가스 저장설비의 효율적 운영 및 분산형 전원으로서의 역할수행도 가능한 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 전력 부하관리의 대안으로서 천연가스냉방의 경제성을 분석하였다.
