ESCO 에너지절약 M&V 방법의 선택 및 적용방안 연구

국내에서도 에너지절약성과 보증계약 방식 위주의 역량강화를 위한 측정 검증(M&V)이 중요한 과제로 부각됨에 따라 선진국과 같은 M&V 방법의 선택과 적용이 필요하다. 국내 ESCO 산업의 역량강화를 촉진하기 위해 에너지절약성과에 대한 M&V를 위해서, 적합한 M&V 선택 및 적용방안의 제시가 요청되고 있다. 본고에서는 IPMVP, 미국 및 일본 사례를 참조하여 국내의 M&V 적용목표 및 적용방향을 설정하고, 적용절차 및 유의사항을 설명한 뒤 M&V 방안(A, B, C, D)의 선택 및 검증방안을 제시하였다. 향후 연구과제로 앞에 제시된 M&V 선택 및 적용방안을 기초로 한 M&V 계획서 및 결과서 작성을 위한 가이드라인 제시방안이 마련될 필요가 있다. ESCO industry should guarantee the energy saving performance with M&V such as developed countries. The application of the ESCO M&V is a necessary condition on energy saving performance. This study recommends a goal, direction, and order of application and suggests selection of M&V between option A, option B, option C, option D by energy conservation technology in Korea, with reference to the examples from IPMVP and applied in US and Japan. In the future, it is needed to study on the guideline for plan report and result report of M&V based on a goal, direction, and selection of M&V option.

ESCO 에너지절약 성과보증의 M&V 적용사례 분석

ESCO 업계는 2013년 ESCO 규정의 개정으로 에너지절약성과 보증계약에 대한 역량을 강화하여야 한다. 이러한 시점에서 에너지절약성과에 대한 측정 검증(M&V)이 중요한 과제로 부각되고 있다. 이에 따라, 선진국의 M&V 적용사례 파악이 필요하다. 에너지사용자와 ESCO 기업 간의 에너지절약성과 보증계약 체결에 의한 에너지절약설치로 발생되는 에너지절감량을 측정 평가하는 방안을 제공하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 2013년부터 성과보증계약 방식 위주의 ESCO 사업이 추진되기 시작하였다. 따라서 이러한 이유로 IPMVP에서 권고하고 미국이나 일본에서 적용하고 있는 M&V 사례 를 활용하여 우리나라의 ESCO 여건에 적합한 M&V 적용방안의 마련이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. ESCO industry should guarantee the energy saving performance in response to changes of regulations ESCO. In this point, the application of the M&V is important task on energy saving performance. Therefore, we need to examine the contents of practice for the M&V in developed countries. Between energy user and ESCO, it is important to provide and measure the energy saving performance by guarantee of energy savings performance contracts. After 2013 ESCO business began focusing on guaranteed savings contracts. For this reason, we need to take M&V cases recommended from IPMVP and applied in United States and Japan. Therefore, we should be ready about M&V application for the real conditions of ESCO.

The Analysis of Innovation Policies of the Energy Service Industries in Taiwan

This paper reports on a strategic analysis of the development of Energy Service Companies. A policy model is used to assess the strategic positioning entailing a two-dimensional analysis, containing ESCO industry’s strategy objective and poilicy objective. By this way, we could find in different segmentation there will have different industrail innovation requirements. Finally, we could give different strategies for Taiwan.

A snapshot of the European energy service market in 2010 and policy recommendations to foster a further market development

As of 2010, the energy service market in Europe is still far from utilising its full potential. Wide-scale peer-reviewed studies investigating the development and up-to-date status of the European ESCo market are scarce. This article presents a comprehensive insight of the European ESCo industry based on the results from a large-scale survey carried out 2009–2010 in 39 European countries. The observed market development during the period 2007–2010, trends in business practices, and factors influencing the ESCo industry evolution are described. Finally, having considered the remaining barriers and the supporting factors as well as the successful experiences in Europe, policy measures that could further promote ESCo activities are proposed.

An Introduction to the Energy Services Industry

In the late 1970s, a small company in Texas was marketing one of the many devices that had been developed as a response to the decade's dramatic rise in energy costs. In essence, the device automated the task of turning lights and similar equipment on and off at appropriate times to save energy-a time clock. The concept was simple; the savings were compelling. In spite of the obvious savings, marketing the device was difficult because many simply doubted that the savings would actually be realized. As an innovative approach to selling the device, the president of the company began to make a different kind of offer to prospective customers. Instead of asking them to pay for the time clock up front, he asked instead that they simply give him a percentage of the measured savings achieved. Suddenly, sales accelerated and, the company that had had difficulty selling the device for $1,000 had no trouble at all persuading people to commit to pay cash amounts which were worth five times that much. Such was one of the early experiences in the energy performance contracting or energy services (ESCO) industry in the United States. Time Energy went on to achieve rapid and spectacular growth, but like many young companies in an emerging field, declined almost as precipitously shortly after going public. The ESCO industry has grown slowly and in fits and starts since the late 1970s. Early entrants were small entrepreneurial companies, either small independent companies or small divisions of large energy companies. Today the industry has grown to approximately $2.5 billion per year and seems to have reached a critical size, as more and more electric utilities and other energy giants are joining the field. Les societes de services energetiques proposent des services d'efficacite energetique integre, qui vont de l'identification des besoins, a la conception du projet, a sa realisation, a son fonctionnement et au monitorage de ses performances. Ces services ne sont pas payes directement par le client mais par les economies generees a l'issue du projet. Le developpement de ce type de service est analyse, aux Etats Unis, ainsi que les obstacles rencontres.
