풍력타워는 수직형 풍력터빈의 성능을 향상하기 위하여 사용되어진다. 하지만 풍력타워의 성능은 내부반경, 외부반경, 안내벽의 개수 등의 설계변수에 의하여 좌우된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 풍력타워의 효율적인 설계변수를 찾기 위하여 실험적인 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 풍동의 시험부는 높이 2 m, 폭 2.2 m이며, 7개의 안내벽을 가진 풍력타워의 한 층을 모델로 제작하고, 그 내부에 풍력터빈을 설치하였다. 다양한 설계변수에 대하여 실험을 하기 위하여 세 가지 종류의 안내벽을 사용하였다. 상대적인 성능평가를 위하여 동일한 입구속도에서 풍력타워를 원주방향으로 회전이동하여 출력계수를 측정하였다. 실험의 결과에서 풍력타워의 내부반경과 풍력터빈의 회전반경과의 간격이 풍력터빈의 성능을 향상하는데 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수임을 보였다.

In this study, performance analyses have been conducted for a 5MW class wind turbine blade model. Advanced computational analysis system based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD) and computational structural dynamics(CSD) has been developed in order to investigate detailed dynamic responsed of wind turbine blade. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with K-${\epsilon}$ turbulence model are solved for unsteady flow problems of the rotating turbine blade model. A fully implicit time marching scheme based on the Newmark direct integration method is used for computing the coupled aeroelastic governing equations of the 3D turbine blade for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. Predicted aerodynamic performance considering structural deformation effect of the blade show different results compared to the case of rigid blade model.

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.

The assessment of the potential for the design of marine renewable energy systems is reviewed and the current situation for marine renewable energy is promising. The most studied forms of marine renewable energy are ocean wind energy, ocean wave energy and tidal energy. Wind turbine generators include mostly horizontal axis type and vertical axis type. But also more exotic ideas such as a kite design. Wave energy devices consist of designs converting wave oscillations in electric power via a power take off equipment. Such equipment can take multiple forms to be more efficient. Nevertheless, the technology alone cannot be the only step towards marine renewable energy. Many other steps must be overcome: policy, environment, manpower as well as consumption habits. After reviewing the current conditions of marine renewable energy development, the authors analyzed the key factors for developing a strong marine renewable energy industry and pointed out the huge potential of marine renewable energy.

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.

Providing high starting torque and efficiency simultaneously is a significant challenge for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). In this paper, a new approach is studied in order to modify VAWTs performance and cogging torque. In this approach, J-shaped profiles are exploited in the structure of blades by means of eliminating the pressure side of airfoil from the maximum thickness toward the trailing edge. This new profile is a new type of VAWT airfoil using the lift and drag forces, thereby yielding a better performance at low TSRs. To simulate the fluid flow of the VAWT along with J-shaped profiles originated from NACA0018 and NACA0030, a two-dimensional computational analysis is conducted. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are closed using the two-equation Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effects of J-shaped straight blade thickness on the performance characteristics of VAWT. The results obtained indicate that opting for the higher thickness in J-shaped profiles for the blade sections leads the performance and cogging torque of VAWT to enhance dramatically.

본 논문에서 주 블레이드를 V 형태로 설계하고 주 블레이드 각도와 풍속을 변화시켜 최상의 설계조건을 확인하고자 하였다. 주 블레이드 open angle을 $120^{\circ}$유지하고, 각도를 $30^{\circ}$로 변화시킨 sample2와 $60^{\circ}$로 변화시킨 sample3를 비교 하였을 때, sample2는 출력이 3.8[kW], 효율은 0.12로 측정되었고 sample3은 출력이 6.0[kW] 효율은 0.18로 측정되었다. 즉 sample3은 sample2보다 출력이 58%, 효율이 50% 상승되었다. 그리고 주 블레이드 open angle $120^{\circ}$, 각도를 $60^{\circ}$로 고정하여 풍속을 7[m/s]일 때 출력이 6.0[kW]으로 효율은 0.18로 측정되었고, 풍속을 10[m/s]로 변화 주었을 때 출력은 7.7[kW], 효율은 0.23으로 측정되었다. 즉 풍속이 높았을 때 출력은 28%, 효율은 83%가 상승되었다. 또한 sample4는 sample2보다 출력에서 103%, 효율에서 92%가 더 상승하였다.
