A Study on Generation Expansion Planning Considering Transition of Nuclear and Renewable Policy

Abstract

Since the Fukushima nuclear accident, social concerns on eco-friendly and safety are arising, urging changes in the nuclear and renewable policy, worldwide. This policy shift is accompanied by a change of generation mix and an increase in the cost of energy supply. So, analysis of generation expansion planning considering nuclear and renewable polish is essential.In this paper, we compare the impact of some nuclear and renewable policy to the national generation expansion planning based on 5th Power Expansion Planning. The results reveal that disposal of nuclear-power and construction of renewable instead of nuclear enhances the total energy supply cost.
