Key Regulatory Impact Analysis on Onshore Wind Power based on Sensitivity Analysis

Abstract

In order to realize carbon neutrality, Korean Government is promoting the development of renewable energy with a focus on solar power and wind power. However, the development of wind power is delayed compared to that of solar power for which the achievements have exceeded the targets. When it comes to onshore wind power, development has been delayed due to siting problems. In this study, in order to derive key regulations affecting the siting of onshore wind power, sensitivity analysis was conducted for 58 siting factors. The database consisted of 33 environmental and forest regulations from onshore wind energy siting atlas, roads, railways, buildings, tidal flats, civilian control zones, special-purpose areas, special purpose districts, development restriction zones and cultural heritage protection zones. By dividing the results by administrative districts, key regulations for onshore wind power in each region was derived.
