The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Minister Andeok -geun Ahn) announced on the twenty first that it would be planning to take measures for the spring of 93 days from March 1 to June 1 in an effort to prepare for the availability and demand imbalances and stabilization of the system.
Up to now, the output of huge generators in the facility market that participated in the facility market in step with the changing demand, however the recent change in power mix has increased the variety of small -scale power sources that didn’t take part in the facility market, and volatility and rigid resources have increased together. There’s a growing difficulty in operating the system.
Particularly, within the spring and autumn season, where the demand for heating and cooling isn’t high, using solar energy generation facilities is high, so it is anxious that the daytime power generation exceeds demand, especially on weekends. In some areas where solar light is concentrated, the quantity of power generation can be concerned concerning the local system instability, which exceeds the capability of transmission lines.
So as to reduce the quantity of power generation, the facility authorities will promote the operation of coal complexes, minimize the operation of the solar energy for public institutions, and to extend demand resources, and to regulate the solar -linked ESS charging time.
As well as, if the output control instructions for oversupply and the stabilization of system usually are not implemented, the corporate plans to secure the implementation power of system stabilization and strengthen its responsibilities as it could actually result in an influence outage.
Lee Ho -yeon said, “So as to operate the stable system, all the facility sources participating within the system have to be cooperated, and the facility authorities will actively promote the system construction and investment similar to the operation of the emergency response system and the reinforcement of the system stabilization.”
