초록

범용적으로 사용되고 있는 수평형 풍력 터빈(HAWT)은 블레이드가 장착된 터빈이 회전부인 너셀에 고정되어 타워의 최상단에 지지되는 구조이다. 터빈에서 생산되는 전력은 너셀 내부에서 증속기를 통하여 발전기로 들어가게 된다. 발전기에서 생산되는 전력은 타워를 통해서 지상과 송전선으로 연결되므로 너셀의 요잉이 발생하는 경우 송전선의 꼬임이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 이를 방지하기 위한 슬립링이나 추가적인 요잉 제어 알고리즘이 필요한 단점이 있다. 제안하는 새로운 구조의 HAWT는 베벨기어와 중공축을 이용하여 송전선 문제를 해결하였다. 또한, 병렬로 접속된 두개의 발전기를 이용하여 요잉이 용이할 뿐 아니라 생산 전력을 분산시킴으로써 인버터의 용량을 줄일 수 있다. MPPT 알고리즘과 요잉 제어를 수행하는 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안하는 구조가 풍력 발전에 효과적임을 보였다.

Commonly used horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) have the following structure: two or three blades, a nacelle which contains power converting equipments, generators, and a tower which supports the nacelle. The generated power is transmitted from the nacelle to the ground. Due to this structure, the power transmission lines are twisted when the nacelle is yawing. Thus, slip ring or additional yaw control mechanism is required. We propose a new structure of HAWT which is free of this transmission line problem. Moreover, the size of inverter can be reduced since two generators are connected in parallel in our mechanism so that power is distributed. A controller for yawing is developed so that it works in harmony with the controller for power generation. A MPPT (Maximum Power Point tracking) algorithm is implemented for the proposed system and efficiency of the system is validated by simulation.
