Abstract

Due to the global warming and air pollution, interest in renewable energies has increased in recent years. In particular, the crisis of the depletion of fossil energy resources in the near future has accelerated the renewable energy technologies. Among the renewable energy resources, oceans covering almost three-fourths of earth's surface have an enormous amount of energy. For this reason, various approaches have been made to harness the tremendous energy potential. In order to achieve two purposes: to improve harbor water quality and to use wave energy, this study proposed a sea water exchange structure applying an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave generation system that utilizes the air flow velocity induced by the vertical motion of water column in the air chamber as a driving force of turbine. In particular, the airflow velocity in the air chamber was estimated from the time variations of water surface profile computed by using 3D-NIT model based on the 3-dimensional irregular numerical wave tank. The relationship of the frequency spectrums between the computed airflow velocities and the incident waves was analyzed. This study also discussed the characteristics of frequency spectrums in the air chamber according to the presence of the structure, wave deformations by the structure, and the power of the water and air flows were also investigated. It is found that the phase difference exists in the time series data of water level fluctuations and air flow in the air chamber and the air flow power is superior to the fluid flow power.

최근, 지구온난화와 대기오염 등에 의해 신재생에너지에 관한 관심이 증가해 왔다. 특히, 가까운 미래에 직면하게 될 화석에너지자원의 고갈문제는 이와 같은 신재생에너지 기술을 가속화 시키고 있다. 다양한 재생가능 에너지자원 중에서 지구의 3/4을 점유하고 있는 해양은 막대한 에너지를 보유하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 항내 수질개선과 파랑에너지의 이용이라는 두 목적을 달성하기 위하여 공기실 내에서 해수면의 상하운동을 공기흐름으로 변환하고, 이를 터빈의 구동력으로 이용하는 파력발전장치인 진동수주형(OWC, Oscillating Water Column) 파력발전시스템을 적용한 해수교환구조물을 제시한다. 또한, 3차원불규칙파수치파동수로에 기초한 3D-NIT(3-Dimensional Numerical Irregular wave Tank)모델을 불규칙파동장에 적용하여 산정된 공기실 내 수위변동의 시간변화로부터 공기흐름속도를 추정하고, 입사주파수스펙트럼의 변화에 따른 공기흐름 주파수스펙트럼의 변화특성, 구조물의 존재여부에 따른 공기실 위치에서 주파수스펙트럼의 변화특성, 구조물에 의한 파랑변형율의 변화특성 및 공기흐름과 유체흐름에 의한 동력 등을 검토한다. 이로부터 공기실 내에서 수위변동 및 공기흐름의 시계열 자료에서 위상차가 존재하며, 유체흐름에 의한 동력이 공기흐름에 의한 동력에 비해 미흡하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
