As we are facing the shortage of oil energy, studies on renewable energy, wind energy research has been naturally getting attention. Among wind energies, ocean wind energy is relatively abundant compared to land wind energy and therefore, is getting much attention in terms of its efficiency. However, the problem is the cost. Generally, the cost ratio of the supporting structure is over 25% of the total installation cost of a offshore wind turbine system. Thus, it is very important to reduce the total installation cost of the offshore wind turbine and develop accurate analysis methodology for various offshore wind turbine foundations. In this study, nonlinear structure-soil interaction analyses have been proposed and conducted for the typical suction bucket model of an offshore wind turbine foundation, and the results were compared with experimental test data for numerical validations.

This paper presents aerodynamic power outputs of wind turbine of 6 MW wind farm composed of 3 sets of 2 MW wind turbine according to the separation distance by using CFD. Layout design including offshore wind farm and onshore wind farm is key factor for the initial investment cost, annual energy production and maintenance cost. For each wind turbine rotor, not actuator disc model with momentum source but full 3-dimensional model is used for CFD and it has a great technical meaning. The results of this study can be applied to the offshore wind farm layout design effectively.

기후변화와 저탄소녹색성장으로 풍력, 태양광 등 신재생에너지 산업에 대한 관심과 투자가 비약적으로 확대되고 있다. 아직까지 우리나라에서의 신재생에너지의 대부분은 풍력과, 태양광에너지 쪽에 집중이 되어 있지만, 해외에서는 해상풍력, 파력, 조력 등 해상에서의 신재생에너지의 성장이 크게 이루어지고 있다. 특히 최근 들어서는 육상 풍력의 문제점이 제기되고, 우리나라는 3 면이 바다로 이루어져 있기 때문에 해상에서의 신재생에너지 산업의 발전 가능성은 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 해상 신재생에너지 산업의 발전의 토대가 되는 해상기상 정보의 통계 DB 구축으로 향후 발전설비 도입을 위한 근간 정보를 제공하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 차세대 대체에너지로 각광받는 풍력발전 중에서 육상발전보다 여러 가지 이점이 있는 해상에서의 한국형 풍력터빈 블레이드의 최적 형상을 위 한 알고리즘을 구현하는 것이다. 풍력터빈 블레이드에서 깃익형의 공기 역학적 특성은 매우 중요한 사항이다. 이를 위해서 익형 성능예측에 층류에서 난류로의 천이과정을 포함하는 XFOIL을 이용하여 블레이드 익형 단면의 양력과 항력 분포를 해석하였다. 첫 번째 수준의 설계변수는 운용범위내의 바람의 속도와 블레이드 지름, 축 회전수이며, 각 단면에서의 비틀림각과 시위길이는 두 번째 수준의 설계 변수이다. 운용범위 내의 각 설계점에서 익형의 공력 변수들과 최소에 너지손실 조건을 이용하여 시위길이와 피치각 분포를 최적화하였다. 각각의 설계점에서 결과를 바탕으로 풍력발전의 설계 운용범위에서 반응면을 구성하고 구배최적화 기법을 통해 요구동력의 제약함수를 만족하고 효율을 최대로 하는 블레이드 형상을 구현하였다. 최적형상에 대해 탈설계점 해석을 수행하여 그 성능을 구하였다.

전 세계적으로 온실가스 배출 규제가 강화되고 있고 에너지 절감 및 환경오염 문제가 없는 재생에너지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 육상 전력을 공급받기 어려움 해양 구조물의 경우에는 배터리와 같은 에너지 저장장치 또는 재생에너지를 활용하여 독립 전원 시스템을 구성하게 된다. 해양에서 활용이 가능한 재생에너지로는 태양광, 풍력, 파력, 조력등이 있으며 이러한 자연 에너지를 활용하는 재생에너지 발전 시스템의 경우 환경의 영향을 많이 받게 되므로 안정적인 전력 생산에 어려움이 있다. 예를 들어 태양광 발전 시스템의 경우 일조량에 따라 발전량이 결정되고, 풍력 발전 시스템의 경우 풍속 및 풍향이 발전량에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 독립전원시스템에서 태양광-풍력-파력의 멀티소스를 갖는 하이브리드 발전 시스템을 구성하여 기상상태에 따른 발전량을 보완가능하게 구성하면 보다 안정적으로 전력을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 항만 및 협수로를 항해하는 선박 안전을 위해 설치된 등부표에 적용하는 해상하이브리드발전시스템을 설계하고 실증을 통해 하이브리드 발전시스템의 발전 특성을 확인한다.

T Recently, the government has been promoting the expansion and supply of renewable energy as an alternative for achieving carbon neutrality and the nationally determined contributions by 2030. In 2020, the Ministries of Industry and Environment and the Korea Forest Service collaborated to build a nationwide onshore wind energy siting atlas considering wind resources and forestry and environmental regulations focused on central regulations. In this study, the ordinances of the local governments were analyzed to examine the effects of regional location regulations on the expansion of onshore wind power energy generation facilities, in addition to those of central regulations. A development permit standard survey of 226 urban plan ordinances of the local governments nationwide showed that presently in 2022, 52 municipalities are applying regulations on wind energy generation facilities by ordinances. This is twice more than that in 2018, when renewable energy power generation facility development was difficult. Additionally, the location regulations applied by these ordinances were organized by items and regions, and regulatory characteristics, such as the number and scope, were analyzed by regions. To analyze the spatial distribution characteristics, JeollaNamdo was selected as the case area. A spatial DB was established for regulated areas based on the regional and central regulations, and the spatial distribution characteristics and the regulatory scope were compared and analyzed.

Recently, a number of wind turbines are being installed due to the increase of interest in renewable, environment-friendly energy. Especially, an offshore wind turbine is being watched with keen interest in that it has no difficulty in securing a site and can get high quality of wind, as compared with a wind turbine on land. The offshore wind turbine is transferred to and installed on the site by an offshore floating crane after it was made in a factory on land such as shipyard. At this time, it is important to secure the safety of the turbine because of its huge size and expensive cost. Thus, a dynamic analysis of the offshore wind turbine which is connedted with the offshore floating crane was performed based on the multibody systems dynamics in this study. As a result. it is shown that the analysis can be applied to verify the safety of a method for the transportation and installation of the offshore wind turbine suspended by the crane.

This paper presents a new framework for design and economic evaluation of wind energy-based electricity supply system. We propose a network optimization (mixed-integer linear programming) model to design the underlying energy supply system. In this model we include practical constraints such as land limitations of onshore wind farms and different costs of offshore wind farms to minimize the total annual cost. Based upon the model, we also analyze the sensitivity of the total annual cost on the change of key parameters such as available land for offshore wind farms, required area of a wind turbine and the unit price of wind turbines. We illustrate the applicability of the suggested model by applying to the problem of design of a wind turbines-based electricity supply problem in Jeju. As a result of this study, we identified the major cost-drivers and the regional cost distribution of the proposed system. We also comparatively analyzed the economic performance of on/off shore wind farms in wind energy-based electricity supply system of Jeju.

In this study, the annual power production of a wind farm according to obstacles and wind data was predicted for the Garyeok-do wind farm in the Saemangeum area. The Saemangeum Garyeok-do wind farm was built in December 2014 by the Korea Rural Community Corporation. Currently, two 1.5 MW wind turbines manufactured by Hyundai Heavy Industries are installed and operated. Automatic weather station data from 2015 to 2017 was used as wind data to predict the annual power production of the wind farm for three consecutive years. For prediction, a commercial computational fluid dynamics tool known to be suitable for wind energy prediction in complex terrain was used. Predictions were made for three cases with or without considering obstacles and wind direction errors. The study found that by considering both obstacles and wind direction errors, prediction errors could be substantially reduced. The prediction errors were within 2.5 % or less for all three years.

본 연구에서는 제주 삼달 지역의 Hub 높이에서 측정된 실측 자료와 기상청에서 측정된 AWS 자료 1년(2010년)치를 토대로 Wind-Pro에 적용하여 풍황자원 분석을 하였다. 허브의 실측높이인 삼달지역 관측자료(100m)와 허브 보정값인 기상청 AWS 자료(15m)를 통해 각각의 연간발전량과 단지 효율을 측정하여 비교 분석하였고 실측높이와 보정치를 이용한 값을 적용하여 발전량 및 효율을 산출 비교하고 이를 통해 그 차이점을 분석하고자 한다. 이는 단지분석 시에 발생될 보정값의 불확도를 판단하는데 그 의의가 있다.
