The sound measurement techniques in IEC 61400-11 are applied to field test and evaluation of noise emission from 1.5 MW wind turbine generator (WTG) at Yongdang-Lee and 650 kW WTG at Hangwon-Lee in Jeju Island. Apparent sound power level, wind speed dependence and third-octave band levels are evaluated for both of WTGs. 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang is found to emit lower sound power than 660 kW one at Hangwon, which seems to be due to lower rotating speed of the rotor of WTG at Yongdang. Equivalent continuous sound pressure level s (ECSPL) of 650 kW WTG at Hangwon vary more widely with speed than those of 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang. The reason for this is believed to be the fixed blade-rotating speed of WTG at Yongdang. One-third octave band analysis of the measured data show that the band components around 400-500 Hz are dominant for 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang and those around 1K Hz are dominant for 660 kW WTG at Hangwon.

Recently, researches related to the green energy generation systems have increased significantly. Among them wind turbines are the most spread practical green energy generation systems. In order to enhance the power generation capacity of the wind turbine blade, the length of wind turbine blade has increased. It might cause undesirable excessive dynamic loads. Therefore dynamic characteristics of a wind turbine blade system should be identified for a safe design of the system. In this study, the equations of motion of a wind turbine blade system undergoing gravitational force are derived considering wind force and pitch angle. Effects of wind speed, variation of pitch angle of the wind turbine blade, rotating speed, and the blade length on its stability characteristics are investigated.

In this study, computational multi-body dynamic analyses for the drivetrain system of a 5 MW class offshore wind turbine have been conducted using efficient equivalent modeling technique based on the design guideline of GL 2010. The present drivetrain system is originally modeled and its related system data is adopted from the NREL 5 MW wind turbine model. Efficient computational method for the drivetrain system dynamics is proposed based on an international guideline for the certification of wind turbine. Structural dynamic behaviors of drivetrain system with blade, hub, shaft, gearbox, supports, brake disk, coupling, and electric generator have been analyzed and the results for natural frequency and equivalent torsional stiffness of the drivetrain system are presented in detail. It is finally shown that the present multi-body dynamic analysis method gives good agreement with the previous results of the 5 MW class wind turbine system.

해상풍력발전은 경관 및 소음 등의 문제 및 풍황자원 고갈로 인한 사업부지 확보가 어려운 육상풍력발전의 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 해상풍력은 해상에 풍력터빈을 세우기 때문에 경관 훼손이나 소음으로 인한 민원발생이 적고 상대적으로 풍황자원이 풍부하기 때문에 발전생산성이 높다. 그러나 육상풍력에 비해 해상풍력은 설치비가 높아 경제성이 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 높은 설치비는 해상작업에 필요한 대형장비의 대여기간과 높은 대여료에서 기인하는데, 본 논문에서는 대형 해상장비의 사용을 최소화하여 설치할 수 있는 해상풍력 지지구조의 개념설계를 수행하였다.

In order to investigate low frequency swishing noise of wind turbines, singularity in circular motion with large radius is introduced as a noise source model. By employing Lowson's acoustic analogy, simple exact solution is obtained. The solution shows that time histories of acoustic pressure at receiver points varied significantly according to receiver's directional location, even when the retarded time distributions are similar. However, the corresponding spectra of sound pressure for the receiver locations where the retarded time distributions are almost the same are not significantly different. It can be inferred from these results that the time-averaged sound pressure spectra which cannot take into account the detailed difference in the time-variation of wind turbine noise may not represent the sound quality of wind turbines due to its swishing.

In this paper, the main noise sources and its radiated noise levels of upwind horizontal-axis wind turbines are experimentally and theoretically investigated. Theoretical predictions for indentifying the dominant source locations are made by using the empirical noise prediction model of Brooks et al. (1989) for the airfoil self noise. Through the comparison of theoretical results with the experimental results, turbulence-boundary-layer-trailing-edge (TBL-TE) noise is revealed to be the dominant source over all frequency range and separation and stall (S-S) noise is possibly important in the relative lower frequency range compared with TBL-TE noise.

In this study, we investigate the flow characteristics of lift-type disk which behaves the up-down motion using the large eddy simulation (LES) and immersed boundary method (IBM). Also, we perform the noise analysis using pressure field at 1.35 m distance and reveal the cause of noise to observe the vortical structure analysis of flow result. It is observed that vortical structure and wind shear were generated at leading edge and tower with high velocity deficit and flow separation. High magnitude of flow noise was observed in low frequency range which is from 30 Hz to 60 Hz. It was observed that vortical structure at leading edge was generated in frequency range from 33.3 Hz to 41.6 Hz. Temporal characteristic in vortical structure at leading edge was similar to noise characteristics, having the similar frequency ranges.

In order to investigate low frequency swishing noise of wind turbines, acoustic source model using a singularity in circular motion is introduced to derive analytic solution of Lowson acoustic analogy in time domain. Results in time and frequency domains computed by the solution show apparent modulation of amplitude and frequency. The solution indicates that time histories of acoustic pressure at receiver points varied significantly according to receiver's directional location, even when the retarded time distributions are similar. However, the corresponding time-averaged spectra of sound pressure at the receiver locations where the retarded time distributions are almost same are not significantly different. It can be inferred from these results that the time-averaged sound pressure spectra which cannot take into account the detailed difference in the time-variation of wind turbine noise may not represent the sound quality of wind turbines due to its swishing. Finally, as an introduction of procedure to quantify low frequency swishing noise level, relative variation of overall sound pressure level is obtained using tonal low frequency noise model.

Dynamic stability of rotating blade considering gravity effect is investigated in this paper. Equations of motion for the beam is derived by employing hybrid deformation variable method and transformed into dimensionless form. The present modeling method is verified by RecurDyn. Stability diagrams are presented to show the influence of the configuration of the beam and angular velocity on the dynamic stability by applying Floquet's theory. Since the natural frequencies are varied when the blade has rotating motion, it is found that relatively large unstable regions exist approximately 1.1 times as high as the first bending natural frequency and half of the sum of first and second bending natural frequency.

The study described in this paper is aimed to maintain a constant output of wind turbine system via pitch control of wind turbine using Advanced PID(APID) controller. In order to improve dynamic response characteristic in terms of pitch angle and disturbance reject, the APID controller is developed. The structure of the APID is composed with derivative P controller and new type of integral control action. This new improved integral control has concept of error window and weight function concept. The performance of the APID control technique is compared with those of conventional ones via simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective and enhanced the dynamic performance of the system.
