In an efforts to encourage renewable energy deployment, the government has initiated so called 1 million green homes program but the accumulated installation capacity of small wind turbine has been about 70kW. It can be explained in several ways such that current subsidy program does not meet public expectations, economic feasibility of wind energy is in doubt or acoustic emission is significant etc. The author investigated annual energy production of Skystream 3.7 wind turbine using measured power curve and wind resource data. The measured power curve of the small wind turbine was obtained through power performance tests at Wol-Ryoung test site. AEP(Annual Energy Production) and CF(Capacity Factor) were evaluated at selected locations with the measured power curve.

In recent, the capacity of a commercial wind power has reached the range of 6 MW, with large plants being built world-wide on land and offshore. The rotor blades and the nacelle are exposed to external loads. Wind power system concepts are reviewed, and loadings by wind and gravity as important factors for the mechanical performance of the materials are considered. So, the mechanical properties of fiber composite materials are discussed. Plain woven fabrics Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) are advanced materials which combine the characteristics of the light weight, high stiffness, strength and chemical stability. However, Plain woven CFRP composite have a lot of problems, especially delamination, compared with common materials. Therefore, the aim of this work is to estimate the mechanical properties using the tensile specimen and to evaluate strain using the CNF specimen on plain woven CFRP composites. For the strain, we tried to apply to plain woven CFRP using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method and strain gauge. DIC method can evaluate a strain change so it can predict a location of fracture.

In this paper, eddy current loss, iron loss and heat transfer of PMSG with 2,000kW capacities were analyzed for wind turbine. The PMSG with 3 split magnet was analyzed using ansoft maxwell commercial program and, generator was tested by Back to Back converter with no load condition at laboratory. Rotor surface temperature was measured by Pt100 sensors for investigating heat transfer from rotor to atmosphere. The simulation results shows 27.4kW eddy current loss in no load condition and 50.2kW eddy current loss in rated load condition with 3 split magnet, and also shows 4.3kW iron loss in no load condition and 7.3kW iron loss rated load condition. The heat transfer coefficient of convection between rotor surface and atmosphere was investigated by $9.6W/m^2{\cdot}K$. Therefore the heat transfer from rotor to atmosphere was about 17kW(54%) and from rotor to air-gap was about 14.6kW(46%) in no load condition. It is identified that the cooling system for stator have to include the 46% of iron loss, and heat dissipation structure of rotor surface have to be suggested and designed for efficiency improvement of generator.

In this study, the flow characteristics and structural safety of a 500W class vertical-axis wind turbines(VAWT) for a fishing boat are investigated by numerical simulations. Guide vanes to increase the performance of the VAWT are investigated. And the best guide vane in the numerical simulations is applied to the VAWT. Also, modal analyses are performed to find out the natural frequencies of the VAWT, and the resonance safety of the VAWT is evaluated. The structural analysis of the VAWT is carried out by one-way FSI(Fluid Structure Interaction). And the results are used for the evaluation of structural safety according to IEC 61400-1 code. Finally, the possibility of the installation of the VAWT on the wheelhouse of a 9.77ton class fishing boat is checked. The results of the present research could be used as one of the fundamental data to design a VAWT for a fishing boat.

This paper describes development of hardware simulator for the PMSG wind power system, which was designed considering wind characteristic, blade characteristic and blade inertia compensation. The simulator consists of three major parts, such as wind turbine model using induction motor, PMSG generator, converter-inverter set. and control system. The turbine simulator generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with respect to given wind speed. This torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit the input of 2kW PMSG. The PMSG-side converter operates to track the maximum power point, and the grid-side inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operational feasibility was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC, and the implementation feasibility was confirmed through experimental works with a hardware set-up.

최근, 국·내외적으로 CO₂배출의 저감을 위한 기술적인 방안 중 하나로 도서지역의 마이크로그리드에 기 설치된 디젤발전기의 가동률을 줄이고 신재생에너지전원의 비중을 높여 운용하고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 국내에서는 가파도, 가사도, 울릉도 등의 도서지역에 디젤발전기와 신재생에너지, 전기저장장치로 구성된 독립형 마이크로그리드의 실증 및 보급 사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 기존의 디젤발전기 대신 정전압, 정주파수(constant voltage constant frequency, CVCF) 기능을 가진 CVCF 인버터 및 CVCF 인버터용 배터리를 도입하여 마이크로그리드를 안정적으로 운용하는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그러나, CVCF 인버터 기반 마이크로그리드의 정상상태 운용특성에 있어서, 출력이 불안정한 태양광전원과 풍력발전과 같은 신재생에너지전원이 계통에 연계되면서 전력품질에 많은 문제가 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 신재생에너지전원과 전기저장장치 연계에 따른 마이크로그리드의 운용특성을 분석하기 위하여, PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 30kW급 마이크로그리드 시스템을 모델링하고, 이를 바탕으로 마이크로그리드 시험장치를 구현한다. 30kW급 마이크로그리드 시스템을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션 및 시험을 수행한 결과, 제안한 방법이 CVCF 인버터 기반의 마이크로그리드 시스템에서 저전압, 과전압 및 불평형 문제를 개선하는 데 유용함을 확인하였다.
