“…In addition, the user's satisfaction plays a notable role in elucidating the user's intention to employ renewable energy technologies or car-related systems [41]. For instance, Kim and colleagues found that users' satisfaction in economic and social aspects is a significant predictor of their acceptance of solar energy technologies [33]. Therefore, this study hypothesizes the following connections based on the results of prior studies:…”

This study explores potential factors of drivers' intentions to use electric vehicles and proposes an integrated adoption model. Results of a structural equation modeling analysis with 988 samples indicate that drivers' intentions are predicted by one negative factor (cost) and three positive ones (satisfaction, usefulness, and attitude). In addition, the total standardized effects of potential factors on the intention are computed. The current study also validates the original technology acceptance model. Based on the results of the current study, practical and academic implications with potential limitations are examined and presented.

“…Sustainability has become a crucial global issue for both industrial growth and public development because of rapid population growth and CO2 emissions [1,2]. Therefore, the majority of governments have enacted policies and specific programs (e.g., FIT; feed-in-tariffs, quota obligation, subsidy, and tax incentives) to promote the use of renewable energy [3][4][5][6][7].…”

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.

“…Thus, large and stable power generation is needed for fulfilling industrial and residential uses [15]. Therefore, the Korean government has understandably high motivation for seeking sustainable and efficient plans for renewable energy since Korea has limited natural energy resources [1,16,17].…”

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.
