| Abstract |
In order to prohibit global warming, various kinds of regulatory policies have been established in the whole world. One example is the establishment of the Renewable Portfolio Standard. It requires the increased portion in energy production from renewable energy sources. The Republic of Korea adopted the act on the promotion of the development, use, and diffusion of new and renewable energy since 2012. However, in spite of the effort on the consideration of the renewable energy sources, it was reported the carbon intensity of electricity in Korea was not that low in 2015. Thus, it is required to examine the recent state of the utilization degree of the renewable energy sources in Korea. This paper analyzed the statistical data provided by Korea Power Exchange (KPX) to examine any problems and solutions for generating electricity from the renewable energy sources. We focused on the generation capacity provided by the power plants participated in the market, the electric power trading amount, and the utilization coefficient for 10 years. By analyzing the data, we provide an alternative to solve some imbalance among the factors contributing to renewable energy use. |
