Abstract

As Korea aims to increase the extent to which renewable energy sources (RES) account for up to 20% of the total power generated in the country by 2030, the feasibility of this target is a major concern. This concern largely results from the Korean power system possessing unique characteristics, such as its electrical isolation and high density. To achieve the RES target, the reliable operation of the power system must coexist with an increased share of RES power generation. This study proposes a method to evaluate the penetration limit of RES in the Korean power system considering the existing plans for the long-term electricity supply and demand, as well as its operational requirements. The Korea electric power corporation (KEPCO) planning database of the Korean power system for the next 15 years was employed to determine the penetration limit of RES considering the reliability criteria, including the minimum power generation of conventional sources, primary frequency control requirement, 10-min reserve requirement, and frequency stability.
