IEEE PES General Meeting 2014, July 27 - 31, 2014 National Harbor, MD (Washington, DC Metro Area), Maryland, USA No. 2 INTRODUCTION New Energy Horizons Opportunities and Challenges This paper presents demand-side management (DSM) and demand response (DR) strategies for sudden demand in the South Korean Power System increases in response to the temperature rises. Total Demand = Fixed Demand + Flexible Demand In extreme weather such as high temperatures, the supply/demand balance of a power system becomes more and more difficult to operate. In these situations, DSM and DR can play major roles in either controlling the needs of new intermittent resource capacity or adjusting the load consumption in real time to face production variations. Simulations were performed for an inter-area power flow considering DSM/DR operation for generation/load variation using the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) 2020 power system planning data for South Korea.

IEEE PES General Meeting 2014, July 27 - 31, 2014 National Harbor, MD (Washington, DC Metro Area), Maryland, USA No. 4 The Power System Status in South Korea [10-12] New Energy Horizons Opportunities and Challenges In 2035, Korean power demand will be reduced by more than 15%, and power generation will be supplied with distributed generation resources over 15% of the total generation. According to common consensus between industry and social activity associations, the greenhouse gas will be reduced over 20% in comparison with current emission quantities. Moreover, to relieve the electrical energy concentration of energy consumption, the bituminous coal for the generation will be subjected to heavy taxes, and taxes for LNG and kerosene will lighten. Finally, the relative energy prices will be adjusted. According to the 5th basic plan for electricity supply and demand (BPE), peak demand is expected to increase annually by an average of 2.2% (based on target demand) between 2011 and 2040, showing a gradual increase as in advanced countries.

Reduction plan by the DSM in Korea IEEE PES General Meeting 2014, July 27 - 31, 2014 National Harbor, MD (Washington, DC Metro Area), Maryland, USA No. 9 The DR Program Classification New Energy Horizons Opportunities and Challenges The DR program can be classified into three parts: the incentive-based DR, the price-based DR, and the reliability-based DR, according to the characteristics and the implementation methods. In the incentive-based DR, a contract is established between the DR operator and the DR participants, and offers incentives or charges penalties. The price-based DR program is based on the market price resulting from the relationship between the supply and demand. In the case of a price-based DR program, customers can take an effect as an incentive to reduce their demand in order to save on electricity tariffs. A reliability-based DR is a program executed for demand reduction in the expected time of a power shortage, utilizing previously collected resources used for the case of expecting a similar power shortage to one that occurred the previous day.

On September 15 in 2011, when the temperature of Seoul rose to 31℃ and the late summer heat was unrelenting, the electricity demand rapidly increased to 66 million kW, exceeding the expected demand of 64 million kW. Naturally, the authorities had to prepare for an emergency. The electricity demand rapidly rose from the morning and consistently increased throughout the afternoon. As a result, the reserve electricity decreased to 240,000 kW at 3 PM, and the KPX urgently started adjusting loads. The adjustment continued from 3:11 to 7:56 in the evening over the course of 4 hours and 45 minutes, and about 7.53 million households experienced a power outage due to the adjustment.

New construction of nuclear power plants will reserve one’s decision until the confirmation of the second energy basic plan. Renewable energy is targeted for 12% of the total generation in 2027. Composite generation resources will minimize the social or economic costs of coal and LNG. • The prospects of power supply constitution in 2027 are in the order of coal ( 28.7%), nuclear (22.7%), renewable (20.2%), and LNG (20.1%) based on rated capacity. • The peak contributions are in the order of coal (34.7%), nuclear (27.4%), and LNG ( 24.3%).

Although there has been a large volume of literature exploring the determinants of low fertility in South Korea, studies on spatial variations in fertility are scarce. This study compares the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to investigate the potential role of the spatially heterogeneous response of the total fertility rate (TFR) to sociodemographic factors. The study finds that the relationships between sociodemographic factors and TFRs in South Korea vary across 252 sub-administrative areas in terms of both magnitude and direction. This study therefore demonstrates the value of using spatial analysis for providing evidence-based local-population policy options in pursuit of a fertility rebound in South Korea.

  • Fertility and the Proportion of Newlyweds in Different Municipalities
    Fertility and the Proportion of Newlyweds in Different Municipalities Sang-Lim Lee Research Fellow, KIHASA Ji-Hye Lee Senior Researcher, KIHASA Introduction With the expansion in recent years of policies on low fertility and the rising concern over the potential risk of so-called “local population extinction”, inter-municipal differentials in fertility have become a subject of increasing social interest. However, the heightened interest in local-level fertility usually stops short at media-led comparisons of total fertility rates in ranking order. Comparisons of such nature seem inappropriate at best, as both the structure and dynamics of population vary across municipalities. Also, there has been a form of pervasive reductionism by which the high fertility rates of some municipalities are attributed to local government’s policy support. We attempt in this study to examine the relationship between fertility and the proportion of newlyweds in different areas. The characteristics of births to newlyweds More than 80 percent of births in Korea were attributed to couples in their first 5 years of marriage. This has been the case for more than 15 years. Almost all births to women in their late 20s were to women married 5 years or less. In women in their early 30s, a major childbearing- age group, the proportion of births to those married less than 5 years has been on the rise, as age at marriage has increased. The exceptionally high rate of births to newly married couples is traceable to the fact that most (90.3 percent) of births occurring in Korea are of first or second children (Birth Statistics for 2015, Statistics Korea).

Energy transition pursues systematic changes to the low-carbon society, and it can benefit from technological and institutional advancement in smart cities. The integration of the energy transition to smart city development has not been thoroughly studied yet. The purpose of this study is to find empirical evidence of smart cities’ contributions to energy transition. The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference between smart and non-smart cities in the performance of energy transition. The Smart Energy Transition Index is introduced. Index is useful to summarize the smart city component’s contribution to energy transition and to enable comparison among cities. The cities in South Korea are divided into three groups: (1) first-wave smart cities that focus on smart transportation and security services; (2) second-wave smart cities that provide comprehensive urban services; and (3) non-smart cities. The results showed that second-wave smart cities scored higher than first-wave and non-smart cities, and there is a statistically significant difference among city groups.

Introduction Climate change can impact the geographical dispersal and growth of different plants around the world. Leaf Area Index (LAI) is the ratio of total upper leaf surface of vegetation divided by the surface area of the land on which the vegetation grows. LAI is used to calculate the evapotranspiration and eventually affects water characteristics such as stream volume and flow, ground water levels and quality. The main goal of this study is to predict LAI by GCM scenarios and identify the change as a result of future rising temperature and CO2 using SWAT. Earth Information Engineering Lab.
