We developed a heavy-duty work class ROV trencher named URI-T (Underwater robot it's trencher) that can conduct burial and maintenance tasks for underwater cables and small diameter pipelines. It requires various supporting systems, including a dynamic positioning (DP) vessel, launch and recovery system (LARS), A-frame, and winch in order to perform burial tasks because of its dimensions (6.5 m × 5.0 m × 4.5 m, 20 t) and the tough working environment. However, operating a DP vessel has disadvantages as it is expensive to rent and operate and it is difficult to adjust the working schedule for some domestic coast construction cases. In this paper, we propose a method using a barge instead of a DP vessel to avoid the above disadvantages. Although burying the cable and pipeline using a barge has lower working efficiency than a DP vessel, it can save construction expenses and does not require a large crew. The proposed method was applied over two months at the construction of the water supply in Yokji-do, and the results were verified.

온실가스 저감을 위하여 대규모의 단지를 건설할 수 있고 발전 효율성이 우수한 해상 풍력이 각광 받고 있다. 해상 풍력 단지에서 생산한 전력을 송전하기 위해서는 해저 전력 케이블이 필수적이며, 케이블의 모니터링 및 고장 지점 파악을 위하여 해저 케이블의 위치 또는 매설 심도 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 해저 전력 케이블을 탐지하기 위한 기술 및 연구에 대하여 소개하였으며, 탄성파/음향, 전자 탐사, 자력 탐사로 분류하여 조사하였다. 탄성파/음향은 주로 선박에 장비를 설치하여 해저 전력 케이블을 탐지하였으며, 전자 및 자력 탐사는 AUV, ROV와 같은 무인 잠수정에 장비를 설치하여 케이블을 탐지하였다. 본 논문을 활용한다면 해저 케이블 탐지 기술에 대한 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

해양구조물의 케이블 반응 분석을 위한 다방향 파람 스펙트라의 수치모델이 조사되었다. 여러 형태의 전파모델을 파랑으로 인한 물입자의 흐름과 계류시스템을 예측하기 위해 사용하였다. 케이블에 작용하는 수동역학적 파력은 케이블의 경사에 평행한 방향과 접선방향에서의 항력과 관성력을 고려한 Morison 공식에 의해 평가되었다. 변위와 속도, 궤적, 위상면의 반응, 그리고 장력을 고려한 다방향 불규칙 파랑의 수치해석에 의하여 부체의 tether pc와 anchor point에서 계류시스템 케이블의 반응을 나타내었다. 서로 다른 항력 계수와 다양한 유의 파고, 그리고 선택된 파랑계수들이 이 분석에 고려되었다. 예제에서 고려된 특정 시스템을 통하여 파랑의 전파함수계수와 항력계수 뿐만 아니라 파랑의 주기와 높이가 케이블-부체시스템의 동적반응에 중요한 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

A multi-leg spread mooring system for floating offshore structures is important, but the multi-leg static analysis is complicated due to the nonlinear behavior of each line and the effect of current which affects each line differently. The pretensioned position of the multi-leg mooring system obtained from the static equilibrium condition changes into a different position due to external loads and current. In this paper, the new position and the static tension at each line are caculated. The relation between the initial static equilibrium position and the new position due to the external loads is expressed in terms of the Taylor's series expansion. The Runge-Kutta $4^{th}$ method is employed in analyzing the 3-dimensional static cable nonlinear equations.

Most pipe-inspection robots have fixed sizes and use a wired cable system. Pipelines are generally composed of various structures, including bent pipes, vertical pipes, branch pipes, and holes, and it is difficult to explore the insides of such modular piping structures. In an offshore plant pipeline, a robot that can pass through the pipe hole in the downward direction or avoid obstacles, such as a measuring instruments, has not been introduced yet. In this study, an inspection robot that can travel through most pipelines in offshore plants is proposed. This robot uses mecanum wheels; upward, downward, and rotary motion; and a novel rotatable mechanism. Moreover, the robot is designed to be compact and lightweight to include additional devices in the middle.

This paper is concerned with the comparative numerical and experimental study on the natural behavior and the motion responses of a 1/75 moored scale model of a 2.5 MW spar-type floating offshore wind turbine subject to 1-D regular wave. Heave, pitch and surge motions and the mooring tensions are investigated and compared by numerical and experimental methods. The upper part of wind turbine which is composed of three rotor blades, hub and nacelle is modeled as a lumped mass and three mooring lines are pre-tensioned by means of linear springs. The numerical simulations are carried out by a coupled FEM-cable dynamics code, while the experiments are performed in a wave tank equipped with the specially-designed vision and data acquisition system. Using the both methods, the natural behavior and the motion responses in RAOs are compared and parametrically investigated to the fairlead position, the spring constant and the location of mass center of platform. It is confirmed, from the comparison, that both methods show a good agreement for all the test cases. And, it is observed that the mooring tension is influenced by all three parameters but the platform motion is dominated by the location of mass center. In addition, from the sensitivity analysis of RAOs, the coupling characteristic of platform motions and the sensitivities to the mooring parameters are investigated.

The cross-section area of cable in the Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) is smaller than that in the onshore wind farm. Because the power loss in OWF is large relatively, the power loss is a key element for the economic evaluation of OWF design. The availability of wind turbine in OWF and the size of OWF are larger than those of onshore wind farm. If the economic evaluation of OWF ignores the availability of wind turbines, the power loss cost of OWF is overpriced. Since there are so many wind turbines, also, the calculation of power loss should be more accurate. In this paper, a method to calculate power loss is proposed for the design of big and complex inner-grid in OWF. The 99.5MW OWF is used for case study to see what effect the proposed method have on the power loss cost.

A semi-active algorithm for edgewise vibration control of the spar-type floating offshore wind turbine (SFOWT) blades, nacelle and spar platform is developed in this paper. A tuned mass damper (TMD) is placed in each blade, in the nacelle and on the spar to control the vibrations for these components. A Short Time Fourier Transform algorithm is used for semi-active control of the TMDs. The mathematical formulation of the integrated SFOWT-TMDs system is derived by using Euler-Lagrangian equations. The theoretical model derived is a time-varying system considering the aerodynamic properties of the blade, variable mass and stiffness per unit length, gravity, the interactions among the blades, nacelle, spar, mooring system and the TMDs, the hydrodynamic effects, the restoring moment and the buoyancy force. The aerodynamic loads on the nacelle and the spar due to their coupling with the blades are also considered. The effectiveness of the semi-active TMDs is investigated in the numerical examples where the mooring cable tension, rotor speed and the blade stiffness are varying over time. Except for excessively large strokes of the nacelle TMD, the semi-active algorithm is considerably more effective than the passive one in all cases and its effectiveness is restricted by the low-frequency nature of the nacelle and the spar responses.

A capstone design is regarded as one of cap courses in undergraduate engineering education because it requires most prerequisites and makes students experience real engineering design processes. There have been case studies to show how this subject should be organized, practiced, and optimized. This study shows one of the case studies by focusing offshore wind power, one of newly recognized renewable energy resources, especially targeting for the design of wind turbine foundation and submarine power cable protectors mainly because of current energy and global warming crisis. To pinpoint engineering design, the students'activities during the project and design procedures are monitored, evaluated, and recommended; hence, core factors are addressed to develop successful aim, theory, practice, and other necessities. These factors include creative problem solving abilities; recognition of engineering curriculum; selection of project theme based on significance, ripple effect, and education purpose; team organization by the full brain model; systematization of project process; realization of engineering design; and synthesis of evaluation. In the end, the aftermath and future works are discussed.

본 연구는 InVEST(Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoff) Offshore Wind 모형을 활용하여 제주도 장선주 인근 해역의 해상풍력 에너지 자원을 평가하였다. 초단기 기상분석 및 예측 시스템(KLAPS)의 재분석 자료를 이용하여 제주도 인근 해역의 풍력밀도를 계산하고 터빈 조성비용, 터빈의 운영 효율, 해저케이블 설치비용, 20년 운영시나리오, 유지관리비 등을 고려하여 168MW 해상풍력 단지를 설치하였을 때의 순현재가치를 산정하였다. 제주도 인근 해역의 풍력밀도 분포도를 통하여 제주도 서쪽해역과 동쪽해역에 높은 풍력자원이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 대부분의 서측해역과 동측해역은 $400W/m^2$ 이상의 높은 풍력밀도를 보였다. 제주지역 해상풍력발전에 대한 순현재가치를 가시적으로 평가하기 위하여 5등급으로 구분하였으며, $400W/m^2$ 이상의 풍력자원이 존재하는 서측 해역에서 높은 순현재가치를 보였다. InVEST Offshore Wind 모형은 다양한 운영시나리오에 대하여 최적의 공간정보를 신속하게 제공해 줄 수 있으며, 해양생태계서비스 평가 결과와 혼용하여 사용한다면 보다 효율적인 해양공간을 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
