Developing the offshore wind farm is essential to meet the national target of the renewable energy and to achieve the green growth in Korea. In this context, KEPRI is now carrying the feasibility study for introducing the offshore wind fam in Korea. Accordingly, it is required to formulate an appropriate strategy, this paper mainly discuss, for this goal. First of all, several preliminary sites for the offshore wind farm are selected based on the evaluation criteria presented herein. In addition, the domestic sub-technological level of key technology sectors associated with the offshore wind power is analyzed. It includes the industries related to wind turbine, grid integration, structural design and construction. Integrating these results, we propose a strategy in order to successfully develop the first offshore wind farm more than 100-MW class in the south-western sea area of Korea.

A feasibility study to estimate annual energy production of an offshore wind farm was performed using MERRA reanalysis data. Two well known commercial codes commonly used to wind farm design and power prediction were used. Three years of MERRA data were used to predict annual energy predictions of the offshore wind farm close to Copenhagen from 2011 to 2013. The availability of the wind farm was calculated from the power output data available online. It was found from the study that the MERRA reanalysis data with commercial codes could be used to fairly accurately predict the annual energy production from offshore wind farms when a meteorological mast is not available.

본 논문은 2 MW급 풍력터빈 3기로 구성된 6 MW 해상풍력발전단지의 풍력터빈 이격거리에 따른 공기역학적 출력 변화를 전산유동해석을 활용하여 연구한 것이다. 육상 뿐만 아니라 해상풍력발전단지에 있어서 레이아웃 설계는 풍력발전단지 초기 투자비, 년간 발전량 및 유지보수비에 영향을 끼치는 핵심 인자이다. 각 풍력터빈 로터에 대해서 모멘텀 소스를 가지는 액츄에이터 디스크가 아닌 완전한 3-D 모델에 대해서 전산유동해석 기법을 적용하여 연구하였으며 이는 기술적으로 큰 의미를 가진다. 본 논문의 연구결과는 향후 해상풍력발전단지 레이아웃 설계에 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

According to "The Renewable Energy 3020 Implementation Plan", offshore wind power accounts for 12 GW of the total new capacity of 48.7 GW. Like the south-west 2.5 GW offshore wind farm case, government-led development has had difficulty in securing the residents' acceptability. This study contributes to the study of local acceptance by analyzing the perceptions of Maldo residents. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with the head of a village and fishing village chief, and the entire contents of the interview were revised and analyzed. The cognitive structure of the stakeholders could be confirmed using semantic network analysis, which analyzes the network structure among words. Based on the analysis results, focusing on the identity frames related to the compensation process from previous national projects, gain vs. loss frames act as the dominant frame in terms of profits from offshore wind turbines. To invigorate offshore wind farms, the policy implications as follows. First, a negotiation organization should be organized to deal with strategic opposition by fishes. Second, installing offshore wind farms on a public water body will result in demands for compensation from various actors, and a licensed fishing territory as an offshore wind farm installation site should be considered.

This paper introduces two on-going projects for DC high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable systems in South Korea. This study proposes the application of DC HTS cable systems to enhance power transfer limits of a grid-connected offshore wind farm. In order to develop the superconducting DC transmission system model based on HTS power cables, the maximum transfer limits from offshore wind farm are estimated and the system marginal price (SMP) calculated through a Two-Step Power Transfer (TSPT) model based on PV analysis and DC-optimal power flow. The proposed TSPT model will be applied to 2022 KEPCO systems with offshore wind farms.

세계 에너지 소비와 에너지 수요가 급격히 증가함에 따라 환경문제와 지속가능성에 대한 관심이 요즘 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 신재생에너지 중 해상풍력발전과 같은 깨끗하고 재생가능한 에너지자원은 대체에너지 자원으로 주목받고 있다. 유지보수 및 운영상의 관점에서 해상풍력발전은 일반적으로 연근해해역에 설치될 계획이지만 해상풍력발전단지의 개발은 계획된 풍력단지를 따라 기존의 해상교통으로부터 다양한 해상교통 간섭에 직면해 있는 실정이다. 해상풍력발전단지 인근해역 및 단지 내에서 해상교통을 안전하고 효과적으로 통제하기 위해 선박이 해상풍력단지 내에서 통항할 수 있도록 표준 기준을 제안한다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 국외 해상풍력발전단지의 현지 규정을 조사하여 해상풍력발전단지에 대한 선박통항 허용 및 안전구역 기준을 수립 하는데 있다. 풍력단지의 내측 안전구역은 풍력터빈 날개 회전직경의 150 %를 적용한 거리와 외측안전구역으로는 외곽에 위치한 풍력터빈으로부터 200 m의 범위의 거리를 제시하였으며, 또한 풍력단지 내 선박통항 허용기준은 풍력터빈 날개의 높이와 조위를 평가하여 향후 서남해 해상풍력발전단지의 실증단지 해역에서 Air draft 14.47 m가 선체 접촉을 피할 수 있는 최소 마진을 가진 기준을 제시하였다. 향후 연구과제로서, 단일 해상풍력단지 내의 선박 통항 기준과 더불어 인접한 해상풍력단지 간의 선박통항 기준마련을 위한 후속연구가 필요하다.

This paper presents the DC voltage control method in DC link of High Voltage Direct Current(HVDC) for an offshore wind farm in Low Voltage Ride Through(LVRT) situation. Wind generators in an offshore wind farm are connected to onshore network via HVDC transmission. Due to LVRT control of grid side inverter in HVDC, power imbalancing in DC link is generated and this consequentially causes rising of DC voltage. A de-loading scheme is one of the method to protect the wind power system DC link capacitors from over voltage. But the flaw of this method is slow control response time and that it needs long recovery time to pre-fault condition after fault clear. Thus, this paper proposes improved de-loading method and we analyze control performance for DC voltage in LVRT control of HVDC for an offshore wind farm.

We observed five species and 163 individuals of birds in the Demonstration Offshore Wind Farm in the southern part of the West Sea in Korea, and 33 species and 4,023 individuals from Gusipo to Dongho Beach. The most dominant bird in both areas was the black-tailed gull, Larus crassirostris. The flight height of birds for collision risk (wind turbine and bird) was divided into two groups. First, the safe height was from sea level to 20 m (< 20 m), with no effect from the action of revolving blades. Second, the danger height was more than 20 m from sea level (> 20 m), with a collision risk from the action of revolving blades. Birds flying a safe height (< 20 m) were 83.9% (271 individuals) and danger height (> 20 m) were 16.1% (52 individuals). Also, 11.7% of birds (35 individuals) used the inside of the Demonstration Offshore Wind Farm as a habitat for foraging and resting, and 88.3% birds used the outside. We suggest that the risk of collision with the wind farm was low due to the relatively low flight height of birds and distance between wind turbines (> 800 m).

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.
