풍력은 자원이 풍부하고, 끊임없이 재생되며, 공해물질 배출이 없어서 친환경적인 점에서 화석에너지 고갈 시에 대비한 유망한 대체 에너지원으로서 각광받는 에너지이다. 풍력발전기는 회전축의 방향에 따라 수평축 풍력발전기와 수직축 풍력발전기로 구분되며, 수직축은 발전효율이 낮은 단점이 있는 반면에 바람의 방향에 영향을 받지 않아 요잉 시스템이 필요가 없어 구조가 간단하고, 저 풍속에서도 풍력발전이 가능한 장점이 있어 현재 소형 수직축 풍력발전기가 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저 풍속에서도 발전 가능한 자이로밀형, 힌지형, 양문형의 블레이드 형태에 따른 소형 수직형 풍력발전기를 이용하여 1m/s~11m/s의 가변풍속에 따른 발전기의 출력전압 및 출력전류를 분석하였다. 연구결과 최대풍속 11m/s일 때 발전기 출력전압은 양문형 블레이드를 적용 시 자이로밀형 블레이드보다 67%, 힌지형 블레이드보다 9%가 증가되었으며, 발전기 출력전류는 양문형 블레이드를 적용 시 자이로밀형 블레이드보다 93%, 힌지형 블레이드보다 5%가 증가되었다. 본 연구를 통해 저풍속 및 고풍속에서의 발전이 용이한 양문형 블레이드의 우수한 출력특성과 실용화 가능성을 확인하였다.

Noise performance of small wind turbines is critical since these are generally installed near the community. In this study, flow noise characteristics of Savonius wind turbines are numerically investigated. Flow field around the turbine are computed by solving unsteady RANS equation using CFD techniques and the radiated noise are predicted by applying acoustic analogy to the computed flow data. Parametric study is then carried out to investigate the effects of operating conditions and geometric design factors of the Savonius wind turbine. Tonal noise components with higher harmonic frequency than the BPF are identified in the predicted noise spectra from a Savonius wind turbine. The end-plates and helical blades are shown to reduce overall noise levels. These results can be used to design low-noise Savonius wind turbines.

Much advancement has been made in wind power due to modern technological developments. The wind energy technology is the world's fastest-growing energy option. More power can be generated from wind energy by the use of new design and techniques of wind energy machines. The geographical areas with suitable wind speed are more favorable and preferred for wind power deployment over other sources of energy generation. Today's wind turbines are mainly the horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). HAWTs are commercially available in various sizes starting from a few kilowatts to multi-megawatts and are suitable for almost all applications, including both onshore and offshore deployment. On the other hand, VAWTs finds their places in small and residential wind applications. The objective of the present work is to review the technological development, available sizes, efficiencies, structural types, and structural stability of VAWTs. Structural stability and efficiencies of the VAWTS are found to be dependent on the structural shape and size.

Two and three-dimensional flows around a cross-flow wind turbine are investigated by the numerical simulation. The turbine studied in this paper has cylindrical shape with many small blades along its periphery. Incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is used for this simulation. A rotating coordinate system, which rotates at the same speed of the turbine, is used in order to simplify the boundary conditions on the blades of the turbine. Additionally, a boundary fitted coordinate system is employed in order to express the shape of the blades precisely. A third order upwind scheme is chosen for the approximation of the non-linear terms. When the number of blades is about 10, the highest torque is obtained.

본 논문에서는 사보니우스형 풍력터빈의 저소음 설계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 선행연구를 통해 BPF 보다 높은 주파수를 기본주파수로 가지며 발생하는 하모닉 성분의 순음소음이 사보니우스형 풍력터빈의 주요한 소음임을 밝혔고, 이러한 하모닉 성분의 소음은 와류에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 선행연구결과를 바탕으로, 사보니우스형 풍력터빈의 저소음 설계를 위해 이탈되는 와류에 위상차를 유도할 수 있는 터빈 날개 끝단을 도입하였다.

Sensitivity studies of blade angle and twisted angle are numerically investigated to optimize the Savonius blade. As blade angle increases, the contact area between blade and wind decreases, showing the suppression of the vortex generation near blade. Compared to the blade angle of 0 degree, the blade angle of 20 degree shows about 2.6% increment of power efficiency. Based on the blade angle of 20 degree, sensitivity studies of the twisted angle are performed. The result indicates that the adjustment of the twisted angle causes the torque of blade to increase. Optimized blade can suppress the formation of the vortex structure in rear region. Also, wind flows without disturbance of vortex when passing through the optimized blade. The 1kw vertical wind turbine system with optimized blade can generate 4442.2kWh per year and have 53% capacity factor.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the motions and mooring characteristics of a floating vertical axis wind turbine system. Based on a comparison of regular wave experiment results, the motions of structures with different types of mooring are almost the same. Based on the tension response results of a regular wave experiment with a catenary mooring system, the mooring lines in front of the structure have a larger tension effect than the back of the structure by the drifted offset of the structure. The dynamic response spectrum of the structure in the irregular wave experiments showed no significant differences in response to differences in the mooring system. As a result of the comparison of the tension response spectra, the mooring lines have a larger value with a drifted offset for the structure, as shown in the previous regular wave experiment. The results of the dynamic response of the structure under irregular wave and wind conditions showed that the heave motion response is influenced by the coupled effect with the mooring lines of the surge and pitch motion due to the drifted offset and steady heeling. In addition, the mooring lines in front of the structure have a very large tension force compared to the mooring lines in back of the structure as a result of the drifted offset of the structure.
