In this study, an automatic command mode transition strategy of direct power control (DPC) is proposed for permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) medium-voltage (MV) offshore wind turbines (WTs). Benchmarking against the control methods are performed based on a three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) back-to-back type voltage source converter (VSC). The ramping rate criterion of complex power is utilized to select the switching vector in DPC for a three-level NPC converter. With a grid command and an MPPT mode transition strategy, the proposed control method automatically controls the generated output power to satisfy a grid requirement from the hierarchical wind farm controller. The automatic command mode transition strategy of DPC is confirmed through PLECS simulations based on Matlab. The simulation result of the automatic mode transition strategy shows that the proposed control method of VOC and DPC achieves a much shorter transient time of generated output power than the conventional control methods of MPPT and VOC under a step response. The proposed control method helps provide a good dynamic performance for PMSGs MV offshore WTs, thereby generating high quality output power.

Several offshore wind power conflicts occur due to the problems in which the site selection process led by private operators is improperly managed. To review the institutional improvement measures that solve this problem, domestic and foreign institutions and operational cases were comparatively analyzed, focusing on key actors from the multi-level governance perspective. First, the status of the site selection process in the Republic of Korea, major issues in stakeholder conflicts, and discussions on the planned site system-related laws (draft) were reviewed. Next, the site selection process and relevant cases in Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan were analyzed. In all these countries, site selection is done by the central government. In Germany and the Netherlands, maritime-related ministries establish overall offshore wind power site plans and conduct strategic environmental assessments for these plans. Futhermore, in the process of determining each individual site, extensive site investigation including environmental assessments are conducted. This aspect needs to be supplemented in the discussion on the direction of institutional improvement in the Republic of Korea.

전 세계적으로 해상을 마주하고 있는 여러 국가들은 기존의 전력 생산방식의 단점을 극복하고 해상풍력 개발을 통한 친환경에너지자원을 활용하고 있다. 해상은 넓은 해역에 대규모 풍력단지를 개발할 수 있는 장점이 있으나 해양구조물의 설치로 인해 선박의 안전운항이 위협받고 있다. 이에 따라, 선박 통항로와 해상풍력단지 간 상호 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하여 선박이 안전하게 운항할 수 있도록 PIANC에서는 표준 Guideline을 제시하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 표준 Guideline은 모든상황에서 동일한 이격거리를 산정하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선회성능, 조우상태, 환경외력, 해상밀집도, 해상풍력발전기, 항로형태 등을 요소로 반영한 선박 통항로와 해상풍력단지 간 최적의 이격거리 산정 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 모델 검증을 위한 시뮬레이션 결과, 운항 준비상태에 따른 입지 특성별 선회성능 크기는 산정 모델에서 제시한 크기와 유사하였다.

본 연구는 5MW급 해상풍력 하부구조물개발에 있어 설계에 필요한 다양한 해양환경 조건에 대하여 높은 안정성 확보가 요구되는 해상용 풍력발전 하부구조물과 관련, 구조물의 설계방법을 제시하고 그 안정성을 고찰하여 관련 기술 분야에 기여함을 목표로 한다. 특히, 5MW급 해상풍력발전 시스템에 대해 시험영역에서 큰 바람의 방향이 지속되고 있는 동안에 동시에 발달된 파도의 계산에 대한 정보를 제공한다. 그러므로 바람의 영역과 접근하는 파동 행열간의 관련성을 검토하여 강도, 방향 그리고 시간의 이동성을 계산할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 쇄파에서의 국부적인 압력분포를 물리적인 모델링과 수치적 모델링을 통해 조사하는 것이 가능하다. 해상 풍력 에너지 변환장치의 지지구조물들에 대해 최근 적용된 구조 및 피로에 대한 평가는 일반 설계규칙에 근거했다. 5MW 해상풍력 하부구조물은 제약조건이 많아 단일구조로 취급하는데 이는 생산에서 높은 안전계수를 고려해야함을 의미한다.

This paper shows the method of winding connection and the balance of three phase of dual inverter systems used for offshore wind power generator. In order to satisfy low cost manufacturing of large scaled wind generator, the number of slot per pole per phase should be reduced. For this reason, in this research, the number is selected as '1' which is the minimum number that stator can have. Based on the prototype machine, three types of machine for the analysis are selected, and various performances especially in terms of electrically balanced condition are also investigated. Moreover, in this paper, new inductance modeling of dual 3-phase considering cross-coupling between two inverter systems is proposed. The several inductances such as mutual-, synchronous inductances are studied. By using FEA, based on calculated the flux linkage of d and q-axis, the validity of the proposed inductance modeling is confirmed.

In this paper, the offshore wind farms have been designed by using WindPRO with the help of real wind data measurements at Jeju Costal area by calculating the annual energy production for exact economic evaluation. In order to achieve benefit of wind farm, the annual revenue for power generation have been calculated with SMP and REC value. And construction cost has derived from the real wind farm project case. Also O&M cost has been estimated by OMCE (Operating & Maintenance Cost Estimator) to get accurate cost of wind farm. Economic evaluation of wind farms have been performed by comparing above parameters. In addition, sensitivity analysis calculating the effect of these factors has also been carried out.

This paper proposes a control algorithm for permanent magnet synchronous generator with a back-to-back three-level neutral-point clamped voltage source converter in a medium-voltage offshore wind power system under unbalanced grid conditions. The proposed control algorithm particularly compensates for the unbalanced grid voltage at the point of common coupling in a collector bus of offshore wind power system. This control algorithm has been formulated based on the symmetrical components in positive and negative rotating synchronous reference frames under generalized unbalanced operating conditions. Instantaneous active and reactive power are described in terms of symmetrical components of measured grid input voltages and currents. Negative sequential component of ac input current is injected to the point of common coupling in the proposed control strategy. The amplitude of negative sequential component is calculated to minimize the negative sequential component of grid voltage under the limitation of current capability in a voltage source converter. The proposed control algorithm makes it possible to provide a balanced voltage at the point of common coupling resulting in the generated power of high quality from offshore wind power system under unbalanced network conditions.

The renewable energies such as photovoltaic power, wind power and biomass have grown to a greater extent as decarbonization techniques. The renewable energies are interconnected to power systems (or electrical grids) in order to increase benefits from economies of scale, and the extra attention is focused on the Grid Code. A grid code defines technical parameters that power plants must meet to ensure functions of power systems, and the grid code determined by considering power system characteristics is various across the country. Some TSO (Transmission System Operator) and ISO (Independent System Operator) have issued grid code for wind power and the special requirements for offshore wind farm. The main purpose of the above grid code is that wind farm in power systems has to act as the existing power plants. Therefore wind farm developer and wind turbine manufacturer have great difficulty in grasping and meeting grid code requirements. This paper presents the basic understanding for grid codes of developed countries in the wind power and trends of those technical requirements. Moreover, in grid code viewpoint, the active power control of wind power is also discussed in details.

When the wind power system is planned to construct, it is important to understand the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of sediment. Especially, If it is the seabed unconsolidated sediment, we need to experiment on sediment through seabed unconsolidated sediment test and sediment survey. Because the sediment's properties are different as its formation, accumulation and load, unconsolidated sediment is difficult to be expected to its behavior. So we can estimate suitability for mechanical material and decrease the uncertainty through seabed unconsolidated sediment test. Seabed unconsolidated sediment test can be experimented in laboratory or in-situ as purpose, in-situ condition, economic problem. In this study, we sampled the seabed unconsolidated sediment at offshore around Korea Maritime University and measured properties of sediment through the laboratory test, showed the effect on physical properties of seabed unconsolidated sediment when the wind power system is planned to construction.
