육상풍력 및 태양광 발전사업 입지 및 생태․환경 특성 연구

초록

This study analyzed consulation data for the environmental impact assessment consultation data focusing on onshore wind power and solar power generation projects, which make up the largest share of renewable energy generation, to identify annual trends and the number of consultation cases by type. The GIS Database(DB) construction and location characteristics of existing onshore wind and solar power generation complexes were analyzed. Based on business code and project name, the number of consultations on wind power generation was 127, with another 7,700 solar power generation, showing sharp increases in both 2014 and 2017. By examining project progress based on aerial photographs and satellite images, GIS DB was constructed. Location characteristics were analyzed for wind (31 cases) and solar (42 cases) power generation complexes, which displayed accurate business boundaries. Most wind power generation plants were located in forest areas with an average annual wind speed of more than 6m/s and gentle slopes in alpine areas. In addition, they are located in areas with an excellent ecological environment, such as Ecological Zoning Map first-level areas, Ecological Conservarion Value Assessment Map first-level areas, and core and buffer regions of the Baekdudaegan protected areas. Most solar power generation plants were generated in low altitude flat forest and farmland, forestry-conservation forest, and natural environment conservation area. The results of this study can be used as basic data for effective environmental impact assessment consultations, such as creation of new power generation complexes and improved location standards.
