A long-term wind resource map was made to provide the key design data for the 2.5 GW Korean West-South Offshore Wind Project, and its reliability was validated. A one-way dynamic downscaling of the MERRA reanalysis meteorological data of the Yeongwang-Gochang offshore was carried out using WindSim, a Computational Fluid Dynamics based wind resource mapping software, to establish a 33-year time series wind resource map of 100 m x 100 m spatial resolution and 1-hour interval temporal resolution from 1979 to 2012. The simulated wind resource map was validated by comparison with wind measurement data from the HeMOSU offshore meteorological tower, the Wangdeungdo Island meteorological tower, and the Gochang transmission tower on the nearby coastline, and the uncertainty due to long-term variability was analyzed. The long-term variability of the wind power was investigated in inter-annual, monthly, and daily units while the short-term variability was examined as the pattern of the coefficient of variation in hourly units. The results showed that the inter-annual variability had a maximum wind index variance of 22.3% while the short-term variability, i.e., the annual standard deviation of the hourly average wind power, was $0.041{\pm}0.001$, indicating steady variability.

본 연구에서는 해상 풍력용 기상탑의 파단 원인을 찾기 위하여 실측된 풍속 자료를 분석하고, 변동 풍하중과 파랑하중에 의한 동적 변위를 산정하였으며, 와류진동에 대한 피로 검토를 수행하였다. 그 결과를 보면, 베인 풍속계와 초음파 풍속계의 10분 최대 풍속을 비교하여 기상탑에서 4시간 지속된 진동이 발생했음을 확인하였다. 그리고 파랑하중보다 풍하중이 기상탑의 동적 응답에 미치는 영향이 훨씬 크지만, 두 하중이 동시에 작용해도 기상탑의 부재력이 설계력보다 훨씬 낮아서 직접적인 파단의 원인이 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 와류진동은 연결부 볼트에서 피로 파괴를 일으키는 것으로 나타나서, 기상탑의 파단 원인은 유체의 변동 성분이 아닌 와류진동인 것으로 판단된다.

In research conducted on a southwestern Korean offshore meteorological tower, acceleration datasets were gathered over half a year with time-history sensors. To enhance data credibility, a parallel measurement system was used for verification. A model of the tower was configured using beam elements, and with modifications accounting for added stiffness from auxiliary structures. Ground interactions were considered as calibrated springs based on soil layer properties. The tower's dynamic attributes and mass sensitivity were discerned using eigenvalue analysis. The structural natural frequency was consistent, with variations primarily due to new equipment adding approximately 1400 kgs. With free vibration damping assumptions, a damping ratio of roughly 1 % was derived.

This study focuses on the reliability of a transmission line under wind excitation and evaluates the failure probability using explicit data resources. The data-driven framework for calculating the failure probability of a transmission line subjected to wind loading is presented, and a probabilistic method for estimating the yearly extreme wind speeds in each wind direction is provided to compensate for the incompleteness of meteorological data. Meteorological data from the Xuwen National Weather Station are used to analyze the distribution characteristics of wind speed and wind direction, fitted with the generalized extreme value distribution. Then, the most vulnerable tower is identified to obtain the fragility curves in all wind directions based on uncertainty analysis. Finally, the failure probabilities are calculated based on the presented method. The simulation results reveal that the failure probability of the employed tower increases over time and that the joint probability distribution of the wind speed and wind direction must be considered to avoid overestimating the failure probability. Additionally, the mixed wind climates (synoptic wind and typhoon) have great influence on the estimation of structural failure probability and should be considered.

부유식 해상풍력발전기의 시뮬레이션을 위해서 본 연구에서는 2MW 육상 풍력발전기에 부유구조물인 Tension Leg Platform(TLP) 구조를 추가하였다. 기상청 관측데이터와 해수면으로부터의 높이에 대해 풍속을 정의하는 지수법칙을 이용하여 풍하중을 산출하고 블레이드와 타워에 일정한 높이간격으로 적용하였다. 상대모리슨 방정식을 이용하여 파랑하중을 모델링하였다. 블레이드의 회전속도를 정격속도인 18rpm 으로 고려하고, 풍하중과 파랑하중 작용 시 2MW의 부유식 해상풍력기의 동적거동 해석을 수행하였다. 파랑하중에 대한 해상풍력기의 공진특성을 조사하기 위해 타워와 블레이드의 탄성체 모델을 구성하여 해상풍력기의 고유진동수를 계산하였다. 타워와 블레이드의 탄성효과가 해상풍력기의 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 타워만 탄성체로 구성된 탄성타워모델과 타워와 블레이드가 탄성체로 고려된 탄성타워 블레이드모델을 각각 강체 모델과 비교하였다.

High-resolution wind data were acquired from a 100-m high offshore tower during the passage of Typhoon Hagupit in September, 2008. The meteorological tower was equipped with an ultrasonic anemometer and a number of cup anemometers at heights between 10 and 100 m. Wind characteristics of the strong typhoon, such as mean wind speed and wind direction, turbulence intensity, turbulence integral length scale, gust factor and power spectra of wind velocity, vertical profiles of mean wind speed were investigated in detail based on the wind data recorded during the strong typhoon. The measured results revealed that the wind characteristics in different stages during the typhoon varied remarkably. Through comparison with non-typhoon wind measurements, the phenomena of enhanced levels of turbulence intensity, gust factors, turbulence integral length scale and spectral magnitudes in typhoon boundary layer were observed. The monitored data and analysis results are expected to be useful for the wind-resistant design of offshore structures and buildings on seashores in typhoon-prone regions.

A simple but practical Ensemble Prediction System(EPS) for wind power forecasting was developed and evaluated using the measurement of the offshore meteorological tower, HeMOSU-1(Herald of Meteorological and Oceanographic Special Unite-1) installed at the Southwest Offshore in South Korea. The EPS developed by the Korea Institute of Energy Research is based on a simple ensemble mean of two Numerical Weather Prediction(NWP) models, WRF-NMM and WRF-ARW. In addition, the Kalman Filter is applied for real-time quality improvement of wind ensembles. All forecasts with EPS were analyzed in comparison with the HeMOSU-1 measurements at 97 m above sea level during Typhoon Bolaven episode in August 2012. The results indicate that EPS was in the best agreement with the in-situ measurement regarding (peak) wind speed and cut-out speed incidence. The RMSE of wind speed was 1.44 m/s while the incidence time lag of cut-out wind speed was 0 hour, which means that the EPS properly predicted a development and its movement. The duration of cut-out wind speed period by the EPS was also acceptable. This study is anticipated to provide a useful quantitative guide and information for a large-scale offshore wind farm operation in the decision making of wind turbine control especially during a typhoon episode.

To determine the wind turbine class in the offshore of the Korean Peninsula, the reference wind speed for a 50-y return period at the hub height of a wind turbine was estimated using the reanalysis data sets. The most recent reanalysis data, ERA5, showed the highest correlation coefficient (R) of 0.82 with the wind speed measured by the Southwest offshore meteorological tower. However, most of the reanaysis data sets except CFSR underestimated the annual maximum wind speed. The gust factor of converting the 1 h-average into the 10 min-average wind speed was 1.03, which is the same as the WMO reference, using several meteorological towers and lidar measurements. Because the period, frequency, and path of typhoons invading the Korean Peninsula has been changing owing to the climate effect, significant differences occurred in the estimation of the extreme wind speed. Depending on the past data period and length, the extreme wind speed differed by more than 30% and the extreme wind speed decreased as the data period became longer. Finally, a reference wind speed map around the Korean Peninsula was drawn using the data of the last 10 years at the general hub-height of 100 m above the sea level.

본 연구에서는 서해안 해상기상타워 2기에서 관측된 수면변동자료를 이용하여 해양특성을 구분하는 주요 인자인 첨두주기 T_p와 평균주기 T₀₂와 T_{m-1, 0}를 산정하고 이상자료의 비율, 상관관계 분석 및 최적 확률밀도함수를 추정하였다. 산정된 대표주기 중 첨두주기의 경우, 이상 자료의 비율은 각각의 지점에서 5.73 %, 0.67 %로 나타났으며, T₀₂는 4.35%, 0.01%, T_{m-1, 0}는 2.82%, 0.03%로 나타났다. 한편, T₀₂와 T_p 사이의 관계를 분석한 결과 각 지점별로 0.53, 0.63의 관계로 산정됐으며, T_{m-1, 0}와 T_p의 관계는 각각 1.15, 1.32로 나타났다. T₀₂와 T_{m-1, 0}는 서로 1.18, 1.22의 관계를 보이고 있었다. 산정된 대표주기의 최적 확률밀도함수를 추정한 결과, T_p는 각각의 지점에서 'Lognormal', 'Normal' 분포를 따르고 있었으며, T₀₂는 'Gamma', 'Normal' 분포, T_{m-1, 0}는 각각 'Log-normal', 'Normal' 분포가 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 서해안을 대상으로 수행되는 파랑 분석에 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
