Speed sensorless modes of operation are becoming standard solution in the area of electric drives. This paper presents flux estimator and speed estimator for the speed sensorless vector control of induction motors. The proposed sensorless methods are based on the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) observer and adaptive speed observer (ASO). The proposed speed estimation algorithm can be employed in the power control of grid connected induction generator for wind power applications. Two proposed schemes are verified through computer simulation PSIM and compared their simulation results.

Wind power generation of 5 MW wind turbine was predicted by using wind measurement data from HeMOSU-1 which is at south west coast of Korea. Time histories of turbulent wind was generated from 10-min mean wind speed and then they were used as input to Bladed to estimated electric power. Those estimated powers are used in both polynominal regression and neural network training. They were compared with each other for daily production and yearly production. Effect of mean wind speed and turbulence intensity were quantitatively analyzed and discussed. This technique further can be used to assess lifetime power of wind turbine.

Weibull distribution is a conspicuous distribution known for its accuracy and its usage for wind energy analysis. The two and three parameter Weibull distributions are adopted in this study to fit wind speed data. The daily mean wind speed data of Ennore, Tamil Nadu, India has been used to validate the procedure. The parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood method, least square method and moment method. Four statistical tests namely Root mean square error, R2 test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Anderson-Darling test are employed to inspect the fitness of Weibull probability density functions. The value of shape factor, scale factor, wind speed and wind power are determined at a height of 100m using extrapolation of numerical equations. Also, the value of capacity factor is calculated mathematically. This study provides a way to evaluate feasible locations for wind energy assessment, which can be used at any windy site throughout the world.

최근 국지적 강풍 및 태풍에 의한 피해규모가 증가하고 있다. 국토의 70%이상이 산악지형인 우리나라에서는 산악지형의 특성에 따른 풍속의 변화를 적절하게 반영한 풍하중 산정이 필요하며 건축구조기준(2009)에서도 이를 명시하여 설계과정에 반영하도록 하고 있다. 그러나 실제 구조물 설계 시 지형적 특성을 고려한 풍속지형계수를 산정하기 위해서는 현지 지형측량 등 여러 가지 어려운 점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수치지형도에서 TIN보간법을 이용한 수치표고모델(DEM)을 제작하고, ESRI(R)ArcObjectTM와 프로그래밍 언어인 비주얼 베이직(Visual Basic)을 사용하여 풍속지형계수를 자동적으로 산정할 수 있는 인터페이스를 설계 구현하였다. 이를 도심지에 위치한 산악지형에 적용함으로써 풍속지형계수 산정 인터페이스의 실용성을 점검하였다.

Necessity has compelled man to improve upon the art of tapping wind energy for power generation; an apt reliever of strain exerted on the non-renewable fossil fuel. The power generation in a Wind Farm (WF) depends on site and wind velocity which varies with time and season which in turn determine wind power modeling. It implies, the development of an accurate wind speed model to predict wind power fluctuations at a particular site is significant. In this paper, Box-Jenkins ARIMA (Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average) time series model for wind speed is developed for a 99MW wind farm in the southern region of India. Because of the uncertainty in wind power developed, the economic viability and reliability of power generation is significant. Life Cycle Costing (LCC) method is used to determine the economic viability of WF generated power. Reliability models of WF are developed with the help of load curve of the utility grid and Capacity Outage Probability Table (COPT). ARIMA wind speed model is used for developing COPT. The values of annual reliability indices and variations of risk index of the WF with system peak load are calculated. Such reliability models of large WF can be used in generation system planning.

큰 상부 형상을 가지는 FLNG (Liquefied Natural Gas Floating Production Storage Offloading Units, LNG FPSOs) 등의 해양구조물은 안정적인 운동성능 확보 및 계류라인 설계에 있어 정도 높은 풍하중 추정이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 FLNG의 풍하중 추정을 위한 수치해석 기법을 개발하는 데 있다. 특히, 본 연구에서 개발한 수치해석 기법은 저자의 이전연구를 FLNG에 맞추어 수정하였다. 풍하중 추정을 위한 수치해석은 15° 간격으로 0-360° 범위에서 균일 풍속 조건과 풍속 프로파일을 적용한 NPD (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate) 조건에서 수행하였다. 먼저, NPD 모델 풍속 프로파일 모델 개발을 위해 Sand-Grain Roughness 변화에 따른 풍속 프로파일을 분석하였다. 개발된 NPD 모델을 이용하여 3가지 풍향 (Head, Quartering & Beam)에 대한 메쉬 수렴성 시험을 수행하였다. 최종적으로 개발된 NPD 모델과 메쉬를 이용하여 균일한 풍속 조건과 NPD 조건에서의 풍하중을 평가하고 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) 기반 Solver인 STAR-CCM+ (17.02)를 이용하였다. 결과를 요약하면, 풍속 프로파일을 적용한 NPD 모델에서의 풍하중은 균일 풍속(10m/s) 조건과 비교하여, Surge와 Yaw 하중이 최대 20.35 % 와 34.27% 증가하였다. 특히, 특정 일부 구간에서만 큰 하중의 차이를 보인 Sway (45°< α < 135°, 225°< α < 315°)와 Roll (60° < α < 135°, 225° < α < 270°)은 구간별 평균 증가율이 15.60%와 10.89% 수준으로 나타났다.

The probabilistic characterization of wind field characteristics is a significant task for fatigue reliability assessment of long-span railway bridges in wind-prone regions. In consideration of the effect of wind direction, the stochastic properties of wind field should be represented by a bivariate statistical model of wind speed and direction. This paper presents the construction of the bivariate model of wind speed and direction at the site of a railway arch bridge by use of the long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) data. The wind characteristics are derived by analyzing the real-time wind monitoring data, such as the mean wind speed and direction, turbulence intensity, turbulence integral scale, and power spectral density. A sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm-based finite mixture modeling method is proposed to formulate the joint distribution model of wind speed and direction. For the probability density function (PDF) of wind speed, a double-parameter Weibull distribution function is utilized, and a von Mises distribution function is applied to represent the PDF of wind direction. The SQP algorithm with multi-start points is used to estimate the parameters in the bivariate model, namely Weibull-von Mises mixture model. One-year wind monitoring data are selected to validate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling method. The optimal model is jointly evaluated by the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and coefficient of determination, $R^2$. The obtained results indicate that the proposed SQP algorithm-based finite mixture modeling method can effectively establish the bivariate model of wind speed and direction. The established bivariate model of wind speed and direction will facilitate the wind-induced fatigue reliability assessment of long-span bridges.

풍하중이 지배적인 구조물의 경우에 정확한 설계풍속의 산정은 구조적 안정성뿐만 아니라 경제성까지도 좌우하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 광양대교 현장에 설치된 관측탑에서 약 1년간 측정한 풍속을 사용하여 풍환경을 분석하였고, MCP(Measure-Correlate-Predict) 방법을 적용하여 관측치로부터 장기 풍속을 추정하였다. 그 결과를 보면, 광양만은 바다이지만 개활지에 가까운 풍속 특성을 나타내고 있으며, 조도지수는 고도에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 풍향에 따라 난류강도와 조도지수가 상당히 차이나는 것으로 나타났다. MCP 방법으로 추정한 200년빈도 설계풍속은 초기설계치보다 20 m/s이상 낮았으며, 실측된 풍속과 거스트계수를 고려한 설계풍하중은 초기설계치의 36%밖에 안되는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 볼 때 국부적인 지형의 영향으로 추정한 교량 현장의 풍환경과 직접 측정한 풍환경은 차이가 나므로, 경제적이고 안전한 설계를 위해서는 단기간이라도 현장 풍환경 관측이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Measurements of bubble size and distribution in the surface layer of the sea, wind speed, and variation of ocean environments were made continually over a four-day period in an experiment conducted in the South Sea of Korea during 17-20 September 2007. Theoretical background of bubble population model indicates that bubble population is a function of the depth, range and wind speed and bubble effects on sound speed shows that sound speed varies with frequency. Observational evidence exhibited that the middle size bubble population fit the model very well, however, smaller ones can not follow the model probably due to their short lifetime. Meanwhile, there is also a hysteresis effect of void fraction. Observational evidence also indicates that strong changes in sound speed are produced by the presence of swarms of micro bubbles especially from 7 kHz to 50 kHz, and calculation results are consistent with the measured data in the high frequency band, but inconsistent in the low frequency band. Based on the measurements of the sound speed and high frequency transmission configuration in the bubble layer, we present an estimation of underwater acoustic channel capacity in the bubble layer.
