Filament winding process is a comparatively simple operation in which continuous reinforcements in the form of roving are wound over a rotating mandrel. And now it is well established as a versatile method for storage tanks and pipe for the chemical and other industries. In this study, tensile strength of a filament wound ring specimens were evaluated by split disk test fixture and dress disk test fixture. The results obtained from experiments were compared with the theoretical values obtained by the rule of mixture. And the purpose of this paper is to suggest an appropriate test method for the evaluation of tensile properties of filament wound structures. The tensile strength of a ring specimens tested by the dress disk test showed better agreement with the theoretical values than of a ring specimen tested by the split disk test because the stress concentration in edges of s split disk test fixture is more severe than the that of dress disk test fixture. The results showed that the tensile strength of a ring specimen was influenced by the geometry of test fixture, the continuity of fibers, fiber-tension, fiber-end and stress concentration in specimen.

In this paper, we propose a probability method to determine minimum capacity of energy storage system(ESS) for Micro-grid Because of high capital cost of ESS, It's very important to determine optimal capacity of ESS and for stable operation of Micro grid(MG), we should determine minimum capacity of ESS. The proposed method has abilities to consider forced outage rate of generators and intermittent of non-dispatchable generators and minimum capacity make MG keep energy balancing by oneself.

In the case of a floating offshore structure such as FPSO(Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading unit), many equipment should be installed in the limited space, as compared with an onshore structure. Recently, the requirement for an optimal layout method of the structure has been raised. Thus, a layout method of the floating offshore structure was proposed in this study. First, an optimization problem for layout design was mathematically formulated, and then an optimization algorithm was implemented based on the genetic algorithm in order to solve it. To evaluate the applicability of the proposed method, it was applied to examples ofFPSO topsides and an offshore wind turbine. As a result, it was shown that the proposed method can be applied to layout design of the floating offshore structure.

In this study, experiments with a floater using flapping foils were performed to develop a new station keeping system that can maintain its position in waves without mooring lines. The foils applied to this system generate thrust using wave energy. In this experiment, the motion of the floater was analyzed in three different wave periods. Sixteen foils were attached to the cylindrical floater. The thrust of each foil was controlled by changing its azimuth angle, and three cases were compared. Based on the previous data, we made more precise measurements and found an optimal model for stationkeeping under each wave condition. We verified the potential of this new stationkeeping system using flapping foils, and conclusions were drawn from the results.

In this study, a structural optimal design of 10 MW composite blade was performed using bend-twist coupled(BTC) design concept. Bend-twist coupling of blade means the coupling behavior between the bending and torsional deflections due to the composite lamina with fiber angle biased from the blade longitudinal axis. This can potentially improve the overall performance of composite blade and reduce the dynamic loading. Parametric studies on layup angle, thickness and area of off-axis carbon UD were conducted to find the optimum coupling effect with weight reduction. Comparing the results of fatigue load analysis between conventional model and BTC applied model, the damage equivalent load(DEL) of blade root area were decreased about 3% in BTC model. To verify the BTC effect experimentally, a 1:29 scaled model was fabricated and the torsion at the tip under deflection behavior of blade stiffener model was measured by static load test.

A spudcan is mounted on the lower leg of the jack-up rig, a device for preventing a rollover of a structure and to support the structure in a stable sea floor. At the time of inserting the surface of the spud can to penetrate when the sand layer is stable and smoothly pulled to the clay layer, and at that time of recovery when uploading the spud can is equipped with a water injection device. In this study, it is significant to optimize the shape of pipelines holes for water injection device and it was set in two kinds of shape, the oval and round. Interpretation of the subject into the site of Gulf of Mexico offshore Wind Turbine Installation Vessels (WTIV) was chosen as a target platform. Using the ANSYS Workbench commercial programs, optimal design was conducted. The results of this study can be applied to the hole-shaped design of various marine structures.

In this paper, the 50kW aerogenerator which is applicable to the microgrid was designed and analyzed by using commercial simulation program Maxwell 2D. Particularly, the suggested PMSG to reduce the cogging torque introduced the offset and skew concept. The suggested optimal value of offset and skew was decided by 2mm and 60 degree of electric angle. The simulation results of the PMSG when load operation condition showed the average harmonic distortion 1.3%, voltage 322.41V, current 94.95A, and iron loss 9.73W, eddy current loss 73.68W, copper loss 3.52kW. The capacity of aerogenerator calculated 61.56kW, and the suggested design process can be applied to higher capacity generator.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by fossil fuels consumption is one of the challenging issues worldwide. Renewable energy source (RES)-based energy supply system can be a promising alternative to the current fossil fuel-based system. In this study, we propose an optimization approach for designing a stand-alone hybrid energy supply system using RES and evaluating economic performances of the energy systems. The suggested approach is used to answer the questions; i) what technology is suitable to various demand sectors in different regions, and ii) how does it cost to meet the demand in term of the levelized costs of energy (LCOE). We illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach by applying to the design problem of energy supply systems for residential, agricultural and commercial sectors of Korea. As the results of LCOE analysis, for the residential sector has the LCOE ranging of $0.37~$0.44/kWh, the agricultural sector of $0.15~$0.61/kWh and the commercial sector of $0.12~$0.28/kWh.

Jeju Island is composed of irregular volcanic rock layers formed by several volcanic activities. Since structure such as the offshore wind turbine has to support considerably large over turning moment due to long distance from foundation to load point and relatively large horizontal load. Pile foundations are needed to economically support such structure even in the case of rock layer. Therefore, in this study, mechanical performances are estimated by mixing ratio of water, cement, and sand to figure out optimal mixing ration of filling material for pile penetrated to rocky layers, and outcomes of this study are compared and analyzed with results of other researches. In the same conditions, mechanical performances of the mortar (S/(S+C)=20~40%) are better than those of cement paste and soil cement. On the basis of major outcome of this study, appropriate range of mixing and a strengthening model are suggested.
