A wind turbine simulation program for the coupled dynamics of aerodynamics, elasticity, multi-body dynamics and controls of turbine is newly developed by combining an aero-elastic code and a multi-body dynamics code. The aero-elastic code, based on the blade momentum theory and generalized dynamic wake theory, is developed by NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA). The multi-body dynamics code is commercial one which is capable of accounting for geometric nonlinearity and twist deflection. A turbulent wind load case is simulated for the NREL 5-MW baseline wind turbine model by the developed program and FAST. As a result, the two results agree well enough to verify the reliability of the developed program.

Rotor blades are important devices that affect the power performance, efficiency of energy conversion, and loading and dynamic stability of wind turbines. Therefore, considering the characteristics of a wind turbine system is important for achieving optimal blade design. When a design is complete, a design evaluation should be performed to verify the structural integrity of the proposed blade in accordance with international standards or guidelines. This paper presents a detailed exposition of the evaluation items and acceptance criteria required for the design certification of wind turbine blades. It also presents design evaluation results for a 2-MW blade (KR40.1b). Analyses of ultimate strength, buckling stability, and tip displacement were performed using FEM, and Miner's rule was applied to evaluate the fatigue life of the blade. The structural integrity of the KR40.1b blade was found to satisfy the design standards.

Marine data communications still look for a novel data communication system at sea because of the restriction of bandwidths and costs of current carriers. In order to make the most efficient use of the broadband land carriers at sea, this paper proposes a routing scheme (MCS-NTC) at a marine MANET model. The routing scheme optimizes the route by choosing optimal nodes and carriers among the traditional and land carriers based on normalized transmission characteristics of applications and carriers. The performance is compared with the max-win method (OMH-MW) scheme considering the specific values of transmission characteristics. The result shows that our scheme derives more efficient routes than the previous one in terms of the transmission characteristics such as bandwidth, cost, delay, the number of hops and carriers.

A previous report recently demonstrated that ultrasound-induced hyperthermia (USHT:0.4 watts (W)/$cm^2$ at $41^{\circ}C$) could increase cellular uptake of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates in P-gp expressing cancer cell lines. Since P-gp plays a major role in limiting drug permeability in the multi-drug resistant (MDR) cells, studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanism of USHT on cellular accumulation of P-gp and non-P-gp substrate in MDR cells. To accomplish this aim, we studied the effects of USHT on the accumulation of P-gp substrate, R123 and non-P-gp substrate, antipyrine in MDR cells. We demonstrated that USHT increased permeability of hydrophobic molecules (R123 and $[^{14}C]$-antipyrine). The enhanced permeability is reversible and size-dependent as USHT produces a much larger effect on cellular accumulation of $[^{14}C]$-antipyrine (MW 188) than that of R123 (MW 380.8). These results suggest that USHT could affect MDR cells more sensitive than BBMECs. Also, the present results point to the potential use of USHT to increase cellular uptake of P-gp recognized substrates, mainly anti-cancer agents into cancer cells.

In this study, the computational structural dynamic modeling of floating offshore wind turbine system is presented using efficient equivalent modeling technique. Structural dynamic behaviors of the offshore floating platform with 5MW wind turbine system have been analyzed using computational multi-body dynamics based on the finite element method. The considered platform configuration of the present offshore wind turbine model is the typical spar-buoy type. Equivalent stiffness and damping properties of the floating platform were extracted from the results of the baseline model. Dynamic responses for the floating wind turbine models are presented and compared to investigate its structural dynamic characteristics. It is important shown that the results of the present equivalent modeling technique show good and reasonable agreements with those by the fully coupled analysis considering complex floating body dynamics.

풍력발전기가 점차 대형화되어가는 추세에 따라 블레이드 역시 점차 길어지고 무거워지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이는 블레이드뿐만 아니라 풍력발전기 시스템 전체의 하중 및 비용의 증가를 불러오게 되므로, 시스템의 성능 및 하중에 가장 큰 영향을 끼치는 블레이드의 공력특성에 대한 연구가 전 세계적으로 지속되고 있다. 그 중에서도 특히 작동 중 오염에 의한 블레이드 표면 거칠기 변화는 블레이드의 공력특성을 변화시켜, 발전기 전체의 성능뿐만 아니라 전체 하중에도 영향을 끼치는 주요 인자이다. 따라서 풍력발전기 블레이드 설계 시에 예측된 설계하중과 실제 운용 환경에 의해 변화된 운용하중 간의 차이를 예측할 수 있다면, 블레이드 설계 시에 표면 거칠기 변화에 따른 영향을 고려함으로써 실제 운용 환경에 맞는 최적의 블레이드 및 풍력발전기 시스템 설계를 수행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 블레이드의 표면 거칠기 변화에 따라 풍력발전기 하중이 어떻게 영향을 받는지에 대하여 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 표면 거칠기 민감도를 고려하지 않고 설계된 기준 블레이드와, 운용 중 표면 거칠기가 변화된 블레이드의 2개 모델에 대한 하중해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 보다 실제적인 해석을 위해 Multi-MW 급 풍력발전기 시스템 모델을 대상으로 최적 설계된 블레이드를 기준 모델로 삼았다. 하중계산방법은 IEC 및 GL 2010 가이드라인을 참고하였으며, 일부 주요 극한하중 상황에 대하여 해석을 수행하여 설계하중상황(design load case, DLC) 별로 하중의 증감 및 경향을 비교하였다.

This paper explores a series of numerical simulations of dynamic responses of multi-piles (dolphin) type substructures for 2.5MW class offshore wind turbine. Firstly computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed to evaluate wave loads on the dolphin type substructures with the design wave condition for the west-south region of Korea. Numerical wave tank (NWT) based on CFD was adopted to generate numerically a progressive regular wave using a virtual piston type wave maker. It was found that the water-piercing area of piles of the substructure is a key parameter determining the wave load exerted in horizontal direction. In the next the dynamic structural responses of substructure members under the wave load were calculated using finite element analysis (FEA). In the FEA approach, the dynamic structural responses were able to be calculated including a deformable body effect of substructure members when wave load on each member was determined by Morison's formula. The paper numerically identifies dynamic response characteristics of dolphin type substructures for 2.5MW class offshore wind turbine.

해상 풍력 발전은 가장 유망한 재생 에너지원의 하나이며, 육상 풍력 발전보다 풍력이 강력하고 일정하여 장시간 고출력 발생이 가능하다. 또한 소음, 공간적 한계, 경관훼손 등 기존 육상 풍력 발전의 단점을 보완하고 초대형 단지조성이 가능한 장점이 있다. 초대형 해상풍력단지에는 일반적으로 MW급의 해상풍력발전기가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 MW급의 해상 풍력발전기에 ANPC(Active Neutral-Point-Clamped) Multi-Level VSC(Voltage Source Converter)를 적용하여 Back-to-Back으로 구성한 시스템을 제안하고 계통연계형 풍력 발전 시스템을 모의한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 시스템의 성능을 검증한다.

The safety and stability of 5MW class offshore wind turbine Jack-up platform was investigated through ocean basin experiment. For simulating the environmental condition of yellow sea in the South Korea, diverse waves, winds and currents were performed based on Froude's number. Regular wave and irregular wave based on Froude's number were applied to the wind turbine structure. In experiments, the height and period of regular wave type were scaled down as the 1:50 ratio of real wave condition. Irregular wave type was simulated with TMA(Texel Storm, Marsen and Arsloe)spectrum. The vertical reaction force, resonance period and wave pressure applied to multi-supporters of wind offshore structure were measured experimentally. Finally, the results showed that the capsizing situation of the offshore structure was generated by the severe environmental condition.
