Abstract

This study assessed and compared wind power and photovoltaic potentials at the Yeongok, Mulno and Booyoung abandoned mines in the Kangwon province, Korea. Resources data of wind and solar for each abandoned mine were collected from the renewable energy data center in Korea Institute of Energy Research(KIER) and Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA). RETScreen software developed by Natural ResourcesCanada(NRC) was utilized for analyzing the electricity productions, reductions of greenhouse gas emission and net present values of the 600 kW wind power and photovoltaic systems at the three abandoned mines. As a result, we could know that the wind power potentials are higher than the photovoltaic potentials at the Yeongok and Mulno abandoned mines. However, the photovoltaic potential is higher than the wind power potential at the Booyoung abandoned mine when considers the net present value.

본 연구에서는 강원도 연곡, 물노, 부영 폐광산 지역을 대상으로 풍력발전과 태양광발전의 잠재성을 평가하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 연구지역의 풍력 및 태양에너지 자원과 관련된 자료들을 한국에너지기술연구원 신재생에너지데이터센터와 기상청으로부터 수집하였다. 캐나다 천연자원부에서 개발한 RETScreen 소프트웨어를 이용하여 연구지역에 600 kW급 풍력발전 시스템과 600 kW급 태양광발전 시스템을 설치할 경우 기대할 수 있는 전력 생산량, 온실가스 감축량, 순현재가치를 분석하였다. 그 결과 연곡, 물노 폐광산 지역에서는 풍력발전이 태양광 발전에 비해 더 큰 잠재성을 가지는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 부영 폐광산 지역에서는 순현재가치를 고려했을 때 태양광발전의 잠재성이 풍력발전의 잠재성 보다 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다.
