태양광/풍력/수력발전에 대한 에코효율성 평가 연구

Abstract

The indiscreet use of fossil fuel for the economic growth caused the environmental problem such as global warming and resource depletion. Recently, the world has recognized the seriousness of environmental problem and makes an effort to solve the trouble. The renewable energy goes down as a solution in other to improve the energy system that has environmental problems. Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). In 2008，about 19% of global final energy consumption came from renewables, with 13% coming from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and 3.2% from hydro electricity. Renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) accounted for another 2.7% and are growing very rapidly. The share of renewables in electricity generation is around 18%, with 15% of global electricity coming from hydro electricity and 3% from renewables. In Korea, wind, hydro, and photovoltaic power are mainly researched and developed in the sorts of renewable energy, because they have high turnover in the sorts of renewable energy and are involved in the main technology of green growth policy. This study aims at identifying the effective introduction method of renewable energy in the context of the environmental and economic aspects using eco-efficiency. As a result, wind power has the high environmental priority and hydro power has the high economic priority in the target renewable energy. Wind power is the best alternative in the context of eco-efficiency aspect. It is reason that wind power has a little input materials, energy and a simple infrastructure.
