본 연구는 전남 서남해안 우이도 주변해역의 조류흐름 특성에 따른 조류에너지 자원을 평가하였다. 먼저 대상해역의 조류 특성에 관한 정보 수집을 통한 타당성 조사와 유한요소법을 적용한 수심평균 2차원 ADCIRC(Advanced Circulation) 수치모델로 조석과 조류속의 변화에 대한 모의실험을 수행하였다. 조석분조는 우리나라 해역에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 4대 분조(M2, S2, K1, O1)를 기본으로 설정하였다. 실제 평균 수심이 반영된 수치모형의 4곳을 관측점으로 설정하여 분석한 결과, 대조기 때 고고조 2.2m, 최강조류속 1.33 m/s를 나타냈다. ADCIRC Model의 결과값은 국립해양조사원(KHOA) 실제 관측 자료와 비교 및 분석하여 검증하였다. 또한 대상해역의 수치모델 조류속값에 지형적 특성을 반영한 조류속기법(Tidal Flux Method)을 이용하여 조류에너지 밀도 분포에 대해 평가하였다. 우이도 해역의 5개 평가 영역 중 최대 $1.75kW/m^2$의 조류에너지 분포를 보였으며, 조위 및 조류속뿐만 아니라 해역의 지형적 특성을 고려한 조류에너지 밀도 분포도를 작성하여 최적의 조류발전단지 후보지를 선정하였다.

Nowadays renewable energy has undergone major development, however most renewable energy resources still have demerit which is under the influence of environmental factors that can not be set up the power plants or can not be generated the rated power. To wander from the point of environmental instability, the present paper looks at the tidal current energy which can supply regular electric power. It has an important merit which is more predictable than others, however the place which can be set up is limited and the turbine system must be optimized. The development of the optimized rotor blades design is urgent to obtain regular electric power using the tidal current energy. Therefore, the paper expands on this idea and presents a conceptual design of 100kW horizontal axis rotor blade for the tidal current turbine using blade element momentum (BEM) analysis. The compatibility of horizontal axis tidal turbine (HATT) is verified using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, ANSYS-CFX. This paper presents results of the numerical analysis, such as pressure, streak line and the performance curves with torque data for the inflow of the horizontal axis tidal current turbine (HATT).

It is well-known that the resources for tide and tidal current energy are abundant in Korea. The south coast in Korea is recognized as one of the most appropriate places in the world for developing tidal current energy. The target site for harnessing tidal current energy is the Uldolmok, where the strongest tidal current in Korea occurs. In order to commercialize and industrialize the tidal current power generation, the construction of pilot tidal current power plant of 1MW has been started in April 2006, and is expected to be completed by May 2007. Extensive works including field investigation, field experiment for evaluating the efficiency of helical turbine and numerical analysis have been performed. This paper present the several design parameters for constructing the Uldolmok pilot tidal current power plant.

Tidal regime change with general hydrolic condition change is examined, according to Garolim Tidal Power Plant (TPP) operation. Numerical model has been developed for the Yellow and East China Seas region, in order to consider the tidal regime change by the TPP operation. The changes of tidal elevation and tidal current inside the Garolim bay are also investigated in details, along with examining the change of the tidal flat area with operation. The field measurement for the tide and current have been carried out for the validation of the numerical model and for understanding the state of current system in the present state.

Recently, focus has been placed on ocean energy resources because environmental concerns regarding the exploitation of hydrocarbons are increasing. Tidal current power, one of the ocean energy resources, has great potential worldwide due to its high energy density. The flow velocity is the most crucial factor for the power estimation of TCP(Tidal Current Power) system since the kinetic energy of the flow is proportional to the cube of the flow speed. So sufficient inflow speed to generate electricity from the tidal current power is necessary. A duct system can accelerate the flow velocity, which could expand the applicable area of TCP systems to relatively lower velocity sites. The shapes of the inlet and outlet could affect the flow rate inside the duct. To investigate the performance of the duct, various ducts were preliminary designed considering the entire system that is single-point moored TCP system and a series of simulations were carried out using ANSYS-CFX v13.0 CFD software. This study introduces a ducted turbine system that can be moored to a seabed. A performance estimation and comparison of results with conventional tidal converters were summarized in this paper.

The Korean peninsula has a number of coastal sites where the rhythmic rising and lowering of water surface due to tides result in strong tidal current. The kinetic energy of these currents can be efficiently exploited by using tidal current turbines. The pilot tidal current power plant is to be constructed at the Uldolmok between Chindo and Haenam. Extensive coastal engineer ing research works have been carried out. This paper describes some observation results of field campaign, design of the supporting structure of a pilot plant of 1,000kW and a future tidal current power plant and so on.

Due to global warming, the need to secure an alternative resource has become the international issue. Not like other renewable energy sources, TCP is the high reliable and predictable and continuous energy source as the current pattern and speed can be predicted throughout the year. Having very strong tidal current speeds, there are many suitable site for the application of TCP (Tidal Current Power) on the west and south coastal region in Korea. The maximum current speed in the south is recorded up to 6.5m/s. Due to the high tidal current speed on the west coast of Korea, numerous tidal current projects are being planned. To extract a significant quantity of power, a tidal current farm with number of devices is required in the ocean. However, it is important to estimate the potential quantity of energy in the area. Also the realistic quantity that can be extracted is to be investigated. Based on the estimated energy production considering the number of devices and the interactional effects, system type, the water depth and etc., the cost of the development and the benefit from SMP can be estimated. The feasibility study for the 200MW tidal in Incheon, Korea has been performed recently. Based on the actual feasibility study, the procedure and the key points for the application of tidal current power farm are introduced in the paper.

This paper outlines extraction potential of tidal stream resources from the simplified channel in which flow is driven by a head difference between inlet and outlet. Energy extraction alters the flow within a simple channel, and extraction of 10% energy flux in a natural channel would give rise to a flow speed reduction of about 5.7%.

This paper is to propose a concept and performance of the gravity engine which could extract energy from sea or river as a clean and renewable and sustainable power, the tidal or hydro-power. The vertical motion of the buoyancy cylinder of the present gravity engine is converted to the mechanical work directly without any hydraulic loss. The increased gravity potential during high tide is harnessed proportional to the length of the buoyancy cylinder times tidal height which is greater than the conventional tidal power using water mill. This energy amplification results from the net energy gain between the resource energy and the imposed energy to extract water out of the buoyancy cylinder. Its efficiency is higher than the conventional water mill due to its direct mechanical conversion.
