South Korea's main industry is the manufacturing industry, and it requires stable energy. Korea heavily relies on importing oils to produce energy, thus efficient energy management is critical. This is why many renewable and smart energy policies and infrastructure planning are being set up currently. Supplying reliable and sustainable renewable energy to remote areas has especially been questioned; therefore, adopting sustainable and clean energy based on renewable resources cannot be delayed any more. This research examines the most economically, technologically and environmentally suitable energy grid of two South Korean Islands. Several hybrid energy system configurations that analyze and identify the optimal grid-connected and grid-independent hybrid power generation systems are simulated in this study. According to the results of the study, the optimal regionally detached power generation system was the wind-PV-battery-converter hybrid system. At the end of this paper, implications and limitations are discussed.

“…There are also many studies on hybrid renewable power systems for Asian islands, including South Korea [35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. For example, many researchers have studied Jeju Island, Ulleung-do, Geoje-do, Jin-do, and Wan-do [14,42].…”

Optimal Hybrid Renewable Power System for an Emerging Island of South Korea: The Case of Yeongjong Island

2015

South Korea, which has led in "green growth" since 2012, is now focusing on investigating new-growth engine industries such as the gaming industry and mega-resort development. Yeongjong Island is the most representative and promising location for nurturing the gaming industry, which has already generated more than 20 billion USD. However, the construction of mega resort clusters generates critical energy issues. Despite this potential problem, local governments and South Korea's central government have not yet established a sustainable energy blueprint plan. Thus, we analyzed and suggested an optimal hybrid renewable power system for Yeongjong Island by using empirical data (load data, climate data, equipment data, and economic variables). The results of the study academically show 100% of electricity in Yeongjong Island with renewable energy-oriented hybrid system technologically, economically, and socially feasible for the following reasons: First, the island's renewable energy station has a lower cost and a shorter construction period than other energy stations. Second, the island's renewable energy station produces no carbon dioxide and has no risk of other environmental pollution that may encounter resistance from local residents.

“…He also clarified the reason vegetation has a higher impact on the cooling effect of 'green' landscapes compared to a heavy urbanized area, especially if there is also a body of water present. The ratio of greenery to the urban area has to be appropriate to offset the effects of thermal discomfort through vegetative cooling [32]. This view was supported by a study sponsored by the Forest Service on the tree canopy cover in urban landscapes [33]- [35], and by other studies on watersheds and many urban ecosystem processes [36]- [39].…”

Abstract-This paper aims to investigate the effects of using natural resources that incorporates the basis of a sustainable city design in efforts to improve the urban thermal comfort in a hot and humid climate. Currently, one of the most crucial world environmental issues is urbanization in a hot and humid climate. In tropical areas, if the urban landscape is poorly designed, it will cause outdoor thermal discomfort. Natural plants and water bodies in the hot and humid landscape has a direct influence over the temperature of urban cities. Water bodies, for example, are able to lower the atmospheric temperature; whereas plants also can affect the surroundings passively. The effects of wet surfaces are increased if there is a presence of a shadow. Therefore, vegetation and water bodies are used in designing a sustainable city in order to increase the quality of outdoor thermal comfort in a hot and humid climate. This is hoped to provide a better and more comfortable human living environment.
