With recent rapid increases in the power generation capacity of offshore wind power generators, reliable structural analysis of the large-scale infrastructure needed to install wind power generators at sea is required. Therefore, technology for heavy marine equipment such as barges and excavation equipment is needed. Under submarine conditions, rock drilling technology to install the substructure for offshore wind pile excavation is a very important factor in supporting a wind farm safely under dynamic loads over periods of at least 20 years. After investigating the marine environment and on-site ground excavation for the Saemangeum offshore wind farm, in this study we suggest.

The cross-section area of cable in the Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) is smaller than that in the onshore wind farm. Because the power loss in OWF is large relatively, the power loss is a key element for the economic evaluation of OWF design. The availability of wind turbine in OWF and the size of OWF are larger than those of onshore wind farm. If the economic evaluation of OWF ignores the availability of wind turbines, the power loss cost of OWF is overpriced. Since there are so many wind turbines, also, the calculation of power loss should be more accurate. In this paper, a method to calculate power loss is proposed for the design of big and complex inner-grid in OWF. The 99.5MW OWF is used for case study to see what effect the proposed method have on the power loss cost.

This paper reviews research trend in suction bucket foundation. Wind energy farm has been considered as an efficient alternative to fuel energy as world markets attempt to discover renewable resources. Recently, Korean government initiated the research projects investigating installation method of offshore wind energy foundation and design guideline as well as verifying feasibility of offshore wind farm. In fact, the installation of monopile and gravity type foundation has been sucessfully carried out in European and other advanced countries, and design guideline of those foundations are well established; however, various types of foundation would be necessary in the near future as offshore wind farm demands abundant wind resources in deep sea. In this paper, bucket foundation is spot lighted as a powerful and economic alternative applicable to deep sea condition.

Offshore wind farms extend a distance from an onshore grid to increase their generating power, but long distance and high power transmissions raise a lot of cost challenges. LFAC (Low Frequency AC) transmission is a new promising technology in high power and low cost power transmission fields against HVDC (High Voltage DC) and HVAC (High Voltage AC) transmissions. This paper presents an economic comparison of LFAC and HVDC transmissions for large offshore wind farms. The economic assessments of two different transmission technologies are analyzed and compared in terms of wind farm capacities (600 MW and 900 MW) and distances (from 25 km to 100 km) from the onshore grid. Based on this comparison, the economic feasibility of LFAC is verified as a most economical solution for remote offshore wind farms.

인간에 의한 연안 지역 개발 및 변형의 가속화로 인해 해양포유류에 대한 피해가 우려되고 있다. 연안 개발이 해양포유류에 어떤 영향을 미칠 수 있는지 이해하려면 이들의 분포를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 서남해 해상풍력 실증단지에서 수동 음향 관측을 통해 상괭이의 출현을 확인하였다. 실험지역에서의 상괭이에 대한 목시관측 결과가 없으므로, 풍력단지에서 탐지된 클릭은 상괭이 발견율이 높은 지역에서 측정한 클릭과 음향특성을 비교하여 검증하였다. 음향 측정 결과에 의하면 상괭이는 매일 출몰하였으며, 평균 클릭수는 40.7회, 상괭이의 출현 비율은 9.7 %, 출현 시간은 18.2 min이며, 대기 시간은 94.9 min으로 나타났다. 이 연구를 통해 서남해 해상풍력 실증단지에서 알려지지 않은 상괭이 출현에 대한 정보를 제공하였으며, 이러한 결과는 풍력단지 운영으로 인한 해양포유류의 영향을 모니터링하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다.

The global and domestic market for offshore wind farm is expected to grow fast, and the design and installation of substructure and foundation is getting more important. As for the offshore wind farms located in the shallow(depth < 20m) water, the construction and installation of the substructure and foundation makes up about 1/4 ~1/3 of the offshore wind farm construction cost, and the portion is expected to increase because the turbine capacity is increasing from 2 ~ 3MW to 5MW or larger and the water depth of wind farms is also increasing over 30m. As a foundation for offshore wind turbine, the suction caisson foundation is being considered to be a highly competitive alternative to the conventional monopile or gravity based structure, because it has features suitable for the offshore construction such as quick installation, no heavy equipment for penetration and no hammering noise for driving. In order to study the installation behaviour of the suction caisson, laboratory tests were performed with sand. The pore water pressure and displacement were measured to analyze the suction pressure during penetration, the penetration speed and the amount of heaving.

A time-domain simulation tool to predict the dynamic power output of wind turbines in an offshore wind farm was developed in this study. A wind turbine model consisting of first or second order transfer functions of various wind turbine elements was combined with the Ainslie's eddy viscosity wake model to construct the simulation tool. The wind turbine model also includes an aerodynamic model that is a look up table of power and thrust coefficients with respect to the tip speed ratio and pitch angle of the wind turbine obtained by a commercial multi-body dynamics simulation tool. The wake model includes algorithms of superposition of multiple wakes and propagation based on Taylor's frozen turbulence assumption. Torque and pitch control algorithms were implemented in the simulation tool to perform max-Cp and power regulation control of the wind turbines. The simulation tool calculates wind speeds in the two-dimensional domain of the wind farm at the hub height of the wind turbines and yields power outputs from individual wind turbines. The NREL 5MW reference wind turbine was targeted as a wind turbine to obtain parameters for the simulation. To validate the simulation tool, a Danish offshore wind farm with 80 wind turbines was modelled and used to predict the power from the wind farm. A comparison of the prediction with the measured values available in literature showed that the results from the simulation program were fairly close to the measured results in literature except when the wind turbines are congruent with the wind direction.

The purpose for installation of offshore weather station is a measurement of wind resources and so on. If weather station is operated, it will be possible to analysis for wind resource and arrangement of wind farm by using measured data. In this paper, we carried out the development of offshore wind resource measurement system for measuring offshore wind resource. Also, In order to monitor for real-time wind data with 1 Hz, we installed the wireless transmission system. All wind characteristic data are sent to the server PC through the this system is connected outport of DataLogger. Transmitted wind data were used in order to look at in the Web-page and tablet PC on a real time basis in a graph. In this paper, we will introduce about the wind resource measurement and remote monitoring system that is the result of study.

전 세계적으로 에너지 수요의 증가에 따라 해상풍력발전을 포함한 해양재생에너지 개발에 대한 선진국들의 관심도가 고조되고 있다. 국내의 경우 정부는 2020년 세계 3대의 해상풍력 강국으로 도약한다는 목표를 설정하고 2011년 11월 "서남해안 2.5GW 해상풍력개발 종합추진계획"을 발표하였다. 또한 '신에너지 및 재생에너지 개발 이용 보급 촉진법'의 제정으로 해상풍력발전 개발을 지원할 수 있는 법적근거가 마련되었다 그러나 해상풍력발전사업을 추진하기 위해서는 공유수면 사용의 허가와 여러 기관의 규제를 적용 받아야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해상풍력을 선도하는 국가들의 해상풍력발전의 부지 및 허가에 대한 규정을 검토하고 국내규정과의 비교분석 및 고찰을 통해 해상풍력발전사업을 효율적으로 추진할 수 있는 대안을 제시한다.
