The wind power system is spotlighted as one of the no-pollution power generation systems. The system uses winds as power source that are rotated the blade and the rotating power from blade generate the electricity power. Gearbox needs to transfer the wind powers that have the high-torque-low-speed characteristics to generator that have the low-torque-high-speed characteristics. Because the wind power system generally locates the remote place like seaside or mountainside and the gearbox installs on the limited and high placed space, the gearbox of the wind power system is required the optimal space design and high reliability. In this paper, the structure of the gearbox is proposed to achieve the optimal space and efficiency by compounding the planetary gear train that has the high power density and parallel type gear train that has the long service life. The design parameters that are affected the service life are studied. The gear ratio and face width are investigated as an affected parameter for design sensitivity of service life.

Recently wind turbines become large, constructed as farms and going out to offshore. Different design approach from onshore is needed for offshore wind turbine. At this paper concept and preliminary design of an offshore wind turbine of 3MW rated power are performed. The concept design started from modelling of the generator and gearbox. With these modelling the optimum specifications was acquired. Integrated type of drive train is designed with all parts are mounted on the tower top as the offshore maintenance strategy. At the preliminary stage control system, power production algorithm and safety system are designed. Load calculation is also performed. The 3MW offshore wind turbine concept/preliminary design and the process of design are obtained as results.

In this study, we have performed investigation of safety for turnover in the tilting train. In the tilting train, the safety for turnover is one of the most important studies because the train incline the carbody inward curve during curve negotiation. Therefore, we have carried out dynamic analysis considering wind force and unbalanced lateral acceleration effects. From this study, we have evaluate the safety for turnover according to the design parameters of the tilting link mechanism.

The flow field around a high-speed train including cross-wind effects has been simulated. This study solves 3-D unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the inertial frame using the iterative time marching scheme. The governing equations are differenced with 1st-order accurate backward difference scheme for the time derivatives, 3th-order accurate QUICK scheme for the convective terms and 2nd-order accurate central difference scheme for the viscous terms. The Marker-and-Cell concept was applied to efficiently solve continuity equation, which is differenced with 2nd-order accurate central difference scheme. The 4th-order artificial damping is added to the continuity equation for numerical stability. A C-H type of elliptic grid system is generated around a high-speed train including ground. The Baldwin-Lomax turbulent model was implemented to simulate the turbulent flows. To validate the present procedure, the flow around a high speed train at constant yaw angle of $45^{\circ}\;and\;90^{\circ}$ has been simulated. The simulation shows 3-D vortex generation in the lee corner. The flow separation is also observed around the rear of the train. It has concluded that the results of present study properly agree with physical flow phenomena.

When constructing a high-speed railroad, the reduction of the distance between track centers and the width of track bed will save the construction cost. However the shortening the distance between track centers may cause the stability problems due to higher wind pressure. Therefore the extensive technical review and aerodynamical study should be performed to determine the adequate distance between track centers. In this study, the impact that the increase in wind pressure due to the change of aerodynamic phenomena with the change of the distance between track centers may have on two trains passing by each other was predicted, and the stability of train operation was analyzed in order to review the distance between track centers suitable to Honam HSR trains. And we estimated the aerodynamical effects by the results of the real train experiments.

According to the development of the economy and to the improvement in life quality, it is increased for the desire for the comfortable circumstance in the underground subway station. And recently, an accident, fire, suicide and so on have been risen. An advanced countries have introduced PSD, and they satisfies with the effect of PSD. The optimum design standard to set up PSD have to satisfy the by train wind beyond the maximum static pressure. This paper includes the maximum static pressure what can be applied to the PSD installation design.

The volume and size of the wind turbine gearbox has been increased with increasing transmitted power. The optimal sizing of gearbox is important due to limited space on the nacelle. The power-split type planetary gear train has been regarded as a better solution than conventional type from the point of view of the volume and weight. The purpose of this paper is to optimize the volume and weight of the gearbox by the analysis of structural characteristics and evaluation of strength of the power-split type planetary gear train.

Experiments were performed to investigate the effects of mud-flap width on the aeroacoustic noise generation inside high-speed trains. The open-circuit type wind tunnel was used. The measurement setup was custom-built to simulate intercoach spacing. From the measurements, the characteristics of the turbulent flow after the intercoach spacing and consequent generation of aeroacoustic noise inside the cabin was investigated. Especially the effects of mud flap length on the characteristics of the characteristics of the turbulent flow were identified. The mechanism of noise generation by analyzed interactions with structure vibration characteristics and generation characteristics of blocked pressure was investigated.

Wind load characteristics is investigated for vibration analysis of wind turbine gearbox. A normal wind model assumed, of which the wind velocity is increased according to the height from ground. A blast wind model is assumed, of which the maximum velocity is located at the center and the velocity profile is normally distributed. The periodical torque and bending moments transmitted to the main shaft of wind turbine are investigated. The average values and the harmonic terms of the transmitted moments are studied on the wind direction of range $-45^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$ and the bending moment characteristics are examined, which is regarded as the main source of the misalignment of gear train.
