As the world-wide supply of fossil fuel sources decreases, the need for efficient energy conservation in addition to developing green energy technologies becomes critical. Wind energy is now regarded as one of the most rapidly expanding energy sources in the world. However, due to the high cost for the foundation of large turbines and the high wind speed (over 12 m/s) required, it is very difficult to establish inland wind power plants. In order to solve issues mentioned above, experiments were performed using the small wind power system operated in a low wind speed. In this research, inland wind condition was first analyzed, and 300 W and 1 kW small wind power generators were then installed on a roof and efficiencies of generating electricities were compared.

Because wind turbines are larger and more off-shore construction due to economic and environmental factors, it is more difficult to access the wind turbine as well as the necessary parts and the maintenance costs are increasing. So, we need to minimize fault elements and to prevent a secondary accident at failure through monitoring to reduce maintenance costs and to increase reliability of operation. In this paper we have implemented ZigBee based wireless sensor nodes and network for wind turbine condition monitoring using temperature, humidity, voltage, current, wind direction, and wind speed sensors. ZigBee wireless sensor nodes signals are transmitted to a central monitoring system via routers. Also, the sensor signals are collected and processed using LabVIEW program to monitor the wind turbine conveniently. The administrators and users can monitor the condition of wind turbine at remote site in real time over TCP/IP.

본 고는 중대형 풍력터빈의 핵심부품인 로터 블레이드, 대형베어링, 증속기, 발전기, 전략변환장치, 타워 등에 사용되는 주요재료에 대한 설명과 제조방법 및 평가 방법 등에 대해 다루어 졌다. 일반적으로 풍력터빈을 구성하는 소재는 금속소재와 비금속재료로 구분되며, 비금속재료는 대부분 복합재료로써 풍력 블레이드에 적용되고 있다. 현재 육상용 풍력터빈의 한계를 극복하기 위한 대안으로, 해상용 풍력터빈에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있으며, 이러한 극지 해상의 대형 시스템에 활용되고 있는 금속소재의 경우, 고강도, 저온인성, 내피로, 내식성 등이 우수한 강재를 요구하기에 이르렀다. 이에 따라, 여러 소재 측면의 요구를 충족하기 위한 소재설계의 비중이 점차 고조되고 있으며, 이러한 시점에 본 고를 통해 풍력터빈에 활용되고 있는 소재의 전반적인 내용과 관련 소재부품의 제조 및 평가 방법등의 이해를 돕고자 한다.

This study predicted broadband noise from a generic 2.5MW wind turbine blade in the time domain. The rotor blade was modeled as thin rectangular flat plates. A simplified analytic model proposed by Amiet was used to model the unsteady surface pressure distribution. The acoustic pressure was calculated by using the loading term of Formulation 1A proposed by Farassat. The validation was also performed by comparing with an experiment of Brooks, Pope, and Marcolini. By using these numerical methods, the broadband noise signal of the wind turbine was successfully predicted in this study.

본 연구는 이전 연구에서 500KW급 중형 수평축 발전기를 설계하였던 경험을 토대로 750KW급 대형 수평축 풍력발전용 복합재 회전날개를 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 회전날개의 대형화에 따른 구조강도 확보 및 경량화 문제를 해결하기 위해 날개의 단면구조를 변경하였고, 주 하중을 받는 스파부분을 보강하였으며, 취급이 어렵고 가격이 비싼 노맥스 허니컴 대신에 폼을 사용한 샌드위치 구조를 적용하였다. 또한 경량화를 위해 금속재 플렌지형 허브부분 접합방식을 삽입볼트 접합방식으로 구조 설계를 변경하였다. 이러한 복합재 회전날개의 구조적 안정성을 확인하기 위해 상용 유한요소 해석 코드인 NISA II를 사용하였으며, 선형정적해석, 고유진동수해석, 국부 좌굴해석 등을 수행하여, 무게의 증가는 최대한 억제하면서 대형화에 따른 구조강도의 확보가 이루어졌음을 확인하였고, 피로수명해석을 통하여 20년 이상의 요구 수명을 만족함을 확인하였다.

Recently, the offshore wind power generator market is expected to grow significantly because of increased energy demand, reduced dependence on fossil fuel-based power generation, and environmental regulations. Consequently, wind power generation is increasing worldwide, and several attempts have been made to utilize offshore wind power. Norway's Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) requires a leg-structure design with a collision energy of 35 MJ owing to the event of a collision under operation conditions. In this study, the results of the numerical analysis of a wind turbine installation vessel subjected to ship collision were set such that the maximum collision energy that the leg could sustain was calculated and compared with the PSA requirements. The current leg design plan does not satisfy the required value of 35 MJ, and it is necessary to increase the section modulus by more than 200 % to satisfy the regulations, which is unfeasible in realistic leg design. Therefore, a collision energy standard based on a reasonable collision scenario should be established.

Small-scale motor-generator sets have been used in laboratories for verification of real large wind turbines whose rated power are more than 1 MW. In this paper, a result of designing a small-scale motor-generator system, which is composed of motor, gear box, flywheel, and generator, is presented in the aspect of speed response. Design objective is to make a small-scale motor-generator system have the same time constant and optimal tip speed ratio region as a real MW wind turbine. A small-scale 3.5 kW motor-generator system for emulating response of a 2 MW wind turbine is considered and designed.

The loading test of wind turbine pitch and yaw bearings have been conducted using special test rig designed for the test of large slewing bearings. Test type was fatigue test that applied fatigue load to each bearing and followed the defined test process. Measurement data during test were rotational torque and raceway temperature, and inspected key components by disassembling the bearing after all test finished. As a results, the raceway temperature during test did not exceed the operational temperature range of lubricant and rotational torque was reduced as the bearing's rotational cycle increased. In the inspection of key components, some plastic deformation and flaking were detected at some raceway sections while other components such as ball, spacer and seal remain indefective conditions.
