In order to test the predictability of the wind resource assessment computer code in our country a field experiment and prediction by WAsP has been compared. A field experiment has been performed in Songdang province, Jeju island, composed of sea, inland flat terrain, a high and a low slope craters. For this experiment, four meteorological towers have been installed at seashores, inland flat and on a crater. Wind resource at one site is predicted by WAsF with the meteorological data at the other three sites. The comparisons show that the WAsP preditions give better agreement with experimental data by adjusting the roughness descriptions.

The numerical simulation optimized by Four Dimensional Data Assimilation (FDDA) with Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) data is carried out to evaluate wind resource characteristics at various heights in the southeastern area of the Korean Peninsula, where wind farms are planned to be built on on- and off-shore as well as comparable diurnal wind variations are characterized at the surface. The temporal and spatial distributions of modeled wind speeds showed good agreement with the observations based on the temporal variation analysis. Model results indicate that the higher model is performed in resolution, the more precise results is at turbine hub height. Occasionally, wind speed variations for each numerical resolution has a different regional and seasonal variations. In the coast area, hub height wind speed of 9km-resolution is simillar to that of 3km-resolution. On the other hand, hub height wind speed of 3km-resolution is simillar to that of 1km-resolution in the Jiri mountainous area.

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.

Simulations using two well-known commercial codes, WAsP and WindSIM, were performed to predict the wind resources in complex terrains of Korea. The predictions from the codes were compared with the measured data. Cross predictions were performed for two closely located measurement sites. The results from WindSIM were found to be more accurate than those from WAsP. The predictions for wind velocity and direction in five different sites of complex terrain from WAsP and WindSIM were also compared. It was found that if the self prediction of the wind velocity and direction from WAsP is close to the measured wind data, the discrepancies between WAsP results and WindSIM results are also close.

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 observation first. Although the large wind falm and resources are near coast and mountain area, the wind energy in urban area has the strong thing of direct access to power generator. In this study, we estimate the probability of wind energy above urban area using SODAR data, which is located at the top of the tall building (140m).

화석연료 사용으로 인한 환경오염 및 에너지원가 상승이 큰 문제로 대두되고 있는 현재의 상황을 타개하기 위한 하나의 방안으로 신 재생에너지에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 특히 서해안에 위치하고 있는 새만금 지역은 광활한 면적과 서북서풍이라는 큰 장점을 가지고 있어 풍력발전의 적지로 예상된다. 본 연구는 이러한 예상을 뒷받침해 줄 수 있는 풍력자원을 조사한 것으로 군산지역의 평균풍속은 4 m/s 정도이며, 도서지방을 연계하는 해상풍력발전 단지의 최적지로 손색이 없음을 밝혔다. 또한, 풍력자원의 출현밀도를 판별하는 Weibull의 분포함수를 이용하여 계산하고, 형상계수를 매개변수로 하여 풍속밀도계산을 한 결과, 군산지방의 풍속출현을 예상할 수 있었다.

To construct the wind map for mainland Korea, the well designed atmospheric numerical modeling system was used. Three nest domains were construced with spatial resolutions between $10{\times}10km$ up to the hightest resolution of $1{\times}1km$. Parameterization schemes like MRF(PBL), RRTM(radiation), Grell(cumulus) were chosen since wind data simulated is in better agreement with the observed wind data. High-resolution atmospheric numerical model was applied to simulate the motion of the atmosphere and to produce the wind map around the South Korea. The results of several simulations were improved compare to the past system, because of using the fine geographical data, such as terrain height and land-use data, and the meteorological data assimilation.

In order to understand regional wind characteristics and to estimate offshore wind resources, a wind map of the Korean Peninsula was established using remote-sensing data from the satellite, U.S. NASA Quik SCAT which has been deployed for the Sea Winds Project since 1999. According to the linear regression result between the wind map data and in-situ marine-buoy data, the correlation factor was greatly improved up to 0.87 by blending the remote-sensing data of Quik SCAT with U.S. NCEP/NCAR CDAS reanalysis data to eliminate precipitation interference and to increase temporal resolution. It is found from the established wind map that the wind speed in winter is prominent temporally and the South Sea shows spatially high energy density over the wind class 6. The reason is deduced that the north-west winds through the Yellow Sea and the north-east winds through the East Sea derived by the low pressure developed in Japan are accelerated passing through the Korea Channel and formed high wind energy region in the South Sea; the same trends are confirmed from the statistical analysis of the meteorological observation data of KMA.

Characteristics of wind resources of offshore and coastal regions were compared using wind data obtained from HeMOSU-1 (Herald of Meteorological and Oceanographic Special Unit-1) meteorological mast located at Southwestern Sea, and ground-based LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) at Gochang observation site near it. The analysis includes comparison of basic wind statistics such as mean wind speed, wind direction, power law exponent and their temporal variability as well as site assessment items for the wind power plant such as turbulence intensity and wind power density at the two observation sites. It was found that the wind at HeMOSU-1 site has lower diurnal and seasonal variability than that at Gochang site, which lead to smaller turbulence intensity. Overall, the results of the comparative analysis show that the wind resource at HeMOSU-1 site located offshore has more favorable condition for wind power generation than the wind resource at Gochang which shows nature of coastal area.

In order to investigate the offshore wind resources, the "QuikSCAT Level 3" data by the QuikSCAT satellite was analyzed from Jan 2000 to Dec 2008. QuikSCAT satellite is a specialized device for a microwave scatterometer that measures near-surface wind speed and direction under all weather and cloud conditions. Wind speed measured at 10 m above from the sea surface as extrapolated to the hub height by using the power law model. It has been found that the high wind energy prevailing in the south sea and the east sea of the Korean peninsula. From the limitation of seawater depth for piling the tower and archipelagic environment around the south sea, the west and the south-west sea are favorable to construct the large scale wind farm. Wind map and monthly variation of wind speed are investigate at the positions.
