본 연구는 R&DDD(Research & Development, Demonstration, Dissemination: R&D3)로 구성되는 연구개발과정의 마지막 단계인 확산단계에 관한 내용을 다루고 있다. 확산단계(Dissemination Stage)에서는 개발된 기술과 다른 대안들과의 비교 평가가 이루어지고 최종적으로 가장 바람직한 방안이 선정되게 된다. 이 단계에서 이루어지는 기술대안에 대한 평가는 단순한 과정이 아니고, 기술적 특성뿐만 아니라 경제적 효과 등 여러 가지 요소들이 고려되어야 하는 복합적인 평가과정을 거치게 된다. 이는 오늘날 산업계 각 분야에서 바람직한 기술대안의 평가, 선정, 적용이 기업의 경쟁우위에 지대한 영향을 미치며 나아가 기업의 생존 및 성장을 좌우하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 열공급시스템의 기술적 대안에 대한 AHP방법을 고찰하고, 이 방법의 실무적 적용가능성을 검토하기 위해 에너지기술분야에서 폐열 활용시스템 대안들에 대한 평가에 적용한 결과를 보여주고 있다.

This study deals with the “Dissemination Stage”, the final step in the R&D process consisting of R&DDD(R&D3 : Research & Development, Demonstration, Dissemination). At the “Dissemination Stage”, the newly configured technical design is compared with other alternatives to come up with the most desirable selection. The assessment conducted at this stage is not a simple procedure. It goes through the complex evaluation process in which various elements including economic effects and technical characteristics are considered. The reason for taking such a complex procedure is that the assessment, selection and application of the desirable technical alternative is critical for the company’s competitive edge in every field of industrial sectors, thus influencing its survival and continuous growth. This study reviews the AHP method for assessing technical alternatives of the heat supply system design. And, to show the practical validity of the AHP method, it is applied to the evaluation of waste heat system alternatives in the field of energy supply system technology.
