본 연구에서는 앙상블 중규모기후모델 weather research and forecasting(WRF)를 이용하여 2045년부터 2054년까지 21세기 중반의 기후변화에 대한 우리나라 미래 풍력자원 지도를 제작하였고 월별, 시간대별 자원변화를 검토하였다. 분석결과, 한반도상에서 강한 몬순 순환으로 인해 뚜렷한 월별 시공간 변동성이 해륙풍에 의한 시간대별 변동성보다 컸다. 풍력자원이 큰 강풍지역은 월마다 지역마다 다르게 나타났다. 즉 겨울철 북서계절풍(여름철 남서계절풍)이 주풍일 때 각각 강원산간과 해상 그리고 남서해안에서 자원이 많을 것으로 전망되었다. 최대풍과 최소풍은 1월, 9월에 각각 나타날 것으로 전망되었고, 시간대별로 내륙과 산간은 일중편차가 컸지만 연안지역은 편차가 작을 것으로 전망되었다. 이는 현재기후에 대한 기존분석결과와는 다소 차이가 있는 것으로, 이 연구에서 생산된 미래 풍력자원 지도는 향후 기후 변화 가능성이 큰 지역의 시공간적 풍황을 감안하여 풍력단지 입지 선정 및 풍력운영을 위한 장기계획 마련에 있어서 유용한 자료가 되리라 기대된다.

Commercial wind farm design tools and the national wind map are used to determine the implementation potential of offshore wind power in Korea in this study. For this, the territorial waters of Korea were divided into nine analysis regions and a commercial CFD code was used to obtain wind resource maps at 100m A.S.L. which is the hub height of a 5MW wind turbine used in this study. With the wind resource obtained, factors including water depth, distance from substations, minimum and maximum capacity of a wind farm, distance between turbines and wind farms were considered to determine wind power potential. Also, the conservation areas, military zones, ports, fishing grounds, etc. were considered and excluded. As the result, a total capacity of 6,720 MW was found to be the implementation potential and this corresponds to $3.38MW/km^2$ in API. Also if the distance from the substation is not considered, the potential increased to be 10,040 MW. This offshore wind farm potential is considered enough to satisfy the target of wind farm capacities in the 7th national plan for electricity demand and supply.

The research topics of more than 1,900 wind energy papers registered in the Korean Journal Citation Index (KCI) were modeled into 25 topics using latent directory allocation (LDA), and their consistency was cross-validated through principal component analysis (PCA) of the document word matrix. Key research topics in the wind energy field were identified as "offshore, wind farm," "blade, design," "generator, voltage, control," 'dynamic, load, noise," and "performance test." As a new method to determine the similarity between research topics in journals, a systematic evaluation method was proposed to analyze the correlation between topics by constructing a journal-topic matrix (JTM) and clustering them based on topic similarity between journals. By evaluating 24 journals that published more than 20 wind energy papers, it was confirmed that they were classified into meaningful clusters of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, marine engineering, and renewable energy. It is expected that the proposed systematic method can be applied to the evaluation of the specificity of subsequent journals.

This paper reviews three commercial softwares for wind climate data analysis in wind resource assessment; WAsP/Observed Wind Climate, WindRose and Windographer. Windographer is evaluated as the best software because of its variety of input data format, analysis functions, easiness of user interface, etc. For a quantitative understanding of uncertainty depending on software selection, a benchmark is carried out with the met-mast observation dataset at the Gimnyeong Wind Turbine Performance Test Site. It is found that Weibull parameter calculation and air density correction have a dependency on the software so that such uncertainty should be considered when an analysis software is selected. It is confirmed that annual energy production calculated by WAsP using a statistical table of frequency of occurrence may have some error compared to a time-series calculation method used by the other softwares.

This study has analyzed the scale, location, resource potential and feasibility of offshore wind farm scientifically and systematically based on the national wind map and GIS. For long-term wind power development, this study pursues siting strategy building, selection of target area and deciding development priority as well as the presenting a basis for assessment that are necessary for policy decision making by making theme layers under GIS environment. According to the analysis after organizing technological development by stages, even if only the most suitable sites are developed among the area of offshore wind farm candidates that can be developed under the current technological standard, it has been evaluated as being able to develop about 3 times of the wind power dissemination target until 2012. It is expected that about 5% of territorial water area can be developed in a short-term future while the southern offshore area possessing relatively favorable wind resource than the western offshore has been identified as the most feasible site. While about 23% of territorial water area has been classified as potential area for offshore wind farm development in a long-term future, even Jeju Island and offshore of Ulsan possessing excellent wind resource have been analyzed as feasible sites. The feasibility assessment of offshore wind lam development established by this study is expected to assist national strategy building for accomplishing the wind power dissemination target.

When we urgently need to develop and supply an alternative energy, wind power is growing with much interest because it has relative low cost of power and area of tower. To estimate the wind power resource, it is necessary to make an wind resource map first. On the study of wind resource map in the Korean peninsula, Southern coast was needed to investigate the possibility of developing wind power complex because of good wind resources. In this study, we made a vertical observation to analyze the properties of wind in coastal area. From tethered sonde observation, we knew that synoptic effect had an influence higher in second day than first day. This means local wind circulation is generated on first day but not second day. The local wind made vertical wind shear strong in first day. Also, there was large difference of wind speed between layers at night time by analysis of SODAR observation.

This paper reviews commercial wind mapping services provided by the oversea consulting companies, AL-PRO and anemos in Germany, AWS Truepower and 3TIER in USA. They provide quick-to-use but essential dataset for a preliminary assessment before commencing an actual feasibility study for wind farm development. Details of wind mapping method, mapresolution, data extraction height, price and so forth are compared and fresh service contents such as site analysis report are drawn from the comparison. Despite its public service, the objective value of the Renewable Energy Resource Map System of Korea Instistute of Energy Research is also confirmed and it is anticipated that the drawn new content idea will be ported to the system to enrich its applicability.

The comparative performance of the WAsP in calculating the wind climate in complex terrain has been examined in order to test the predictability of the wind resource assessment computer code in our country. An analysis was carried out of predicted and experimental 10-min averaged wind data collected over 8 months at four monitoring sites in SongDang province, Jeju island, composed of sea, inland flat terrain, a high and a low slope craters. The comparisons show that the WAsP preditions give better agreement with experimental data by adjusting the roughness descriptions, the obstacle list.

풍력발전 단지의 설계시 풍력 자원 평가 과정은 필수적인 과정이다. 풍력 자원 평가를 위해 장기풍황(20년)자료를 이용하여야 하지만 장기간 관측하는 것은 어렵기 때문에 예정지의 1년 이상의 관측데이터로 평가를 실시하였다. 예정지의 단기 풍황탑(Met-Mast; Meteorology Mast) 자료를 주변의 장기관측 자료인 자동기상관측(AWS; Automatic Weather Station)데이터를 이용하여 수학적 보간법으로 예정지의 데이터를 장기 데이터로 변환한 것을 MCP(Measure-Correlative-Predict)기법이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 MCP기법 중 선형 회계방법을 적용하였다. 선택된 MCP 회귀 모델식에 따라 제주 북동부 구좌지역의 AWS데이터를 제주 북동부 한동 지역의 Met-mast 데이터에 적용하여 연간 에너지 생산량을 예측 하였다. 예정지의 단기 풍황을 이용하였을 때와 보정된 장기 풍황을 이용하여 때 연간 에너지 생산량을 비교하였다. 그 결과 연간 약 3.6 %의 예측오차를 보였고, 이는 연간 약 271 MW의 에너지 생산량의 차이를 의미한다. 풍력발전기의 생애주기인 20년을 비교 하였을 때 약 5,420 MW의 차이를 나타내었으며, 이는 약 9개월 정도의 에너지 생산량과 비슷한 수준이다. 결과적으로, 제안 된 선형 회귀 MCP 방법을 이용하는 것이 단기관측 자료를 통한 불확식성을 제거하는 합리적인 방법으로 판단된다.

풍력자원지도를 작성하기 위해서는 풍황자료, 지형고도지도, 지면조도지도가 필요하다. 본 연구는 이 중 지면조도지도를 생성하는 작업의 효율성과 정확도를 높이기 위해 환경부의 토지피복지도에 영상필터링 기법 중 무빙필터를 적용하였다. 필터링된 토지피복지도를 이용하여 지면조도지도를 생성하였고 이를 가지고 풍력자원지도를 작성해봄으로써, 필터링을 거쳐 풍력자원지도를 작성하여도 타당한지 여부를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 필터링을 적용한 지면조도지도를 사용하여 작성한 바람지도 모두 과소예측을 보였으나 오차정도가 매우 작았고, RMSE 또한 50m높이에서 0.0237~0.0253m/s 정도로 거의 0에 근접한 결과를 보였다. 즉, 풍력발전기가 설치되는 80m 이상의 높이에서는 오차의 정도가 더욱 줄어들 것이고, 풍력자원예측 시 작업의 효율성을 위해 필터링기법을 적용하여도 신뢰할 만한 풍력자원지도를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.
