Abstract: In 2012, the government of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (Jeju) in South Korea had a plan to make the carbon-free Island Jeju by 2030. The target of this project was supplied by 100% renewable energy coming from wind turbines generation, solar photovoltaic systems and replaced 100% internal combustion engine vehicles by electric vehicles (EVs). In this study, we provide information on the energy status of Jeju island in the process of implementing the project, such as energy consumption, PV power plant and wind power plant. In addition, the development trends of superconducting wind turbine generators which have the advantages of reducing volume, weight, and losses compared to conversional wind turbines are also introduce in this study.
Keywords: Renewable Energy, Electric Vehicle, PV, Wind Power, Superconducting Technology.
