The energy produced by wind power generation is a clean energy product because it is acquired by using renewable resource. Wind power plants("wind farms), in Korea, have been built and operated as 345.6MW facilities from 2001 until now 2009. Nevertheless, environmental issues regarding construction of wind power plants have arisen. accordingly it is time to consider the environmental and social issues of wind power in accordance with the government's policy objectives of increased wind power production. In this study, we investigated the influence that noise and low frequency noise caused by Wind power plants have on neighborhood and residents. We also sought solutions to these issues. In order to analyze the issues of wind power facilities, we compared and examined precedents and the solutions for noise and low frequency noise in Europe, the United states and Japan. We intended to examine the influences of wind power facilities and propose alternative in dealing with these issues.

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.

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.

As rotor blade of a wind turbine becomes larger to satisfy the economic efficiency for offshore wind farm, the numerical analysis considering wind profile is getting emphasized. In this paper, the study for the power characteristic of a wind turbine is carried out using NREL phase VI wind turbine applied wind profile. The experimental data of NASA Ames wind tunnel for inflow velocity 7m/s is used and the numerical result is obtained by using CFD commercial solver(FLUENT).

풍력단지가 연계된 전력계통의 과도안정도를 보장하기 위해서는 전력계통과 풍력단지의 접속점에 풍력발전기가 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 개별의 풍력터빈은 안정도를 유지하기 위한 충분한 무효전력 공급능력을 가지지 못한다. 또한 풍력단지와 접속점 사이의 케이블은 리액턴스가 크고 이에 따른 무효전력 손실도 크다. STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)은 고속으로 동작할 수 있고 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 능력을 가지고 있기 때문에 과도안정도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 풍력단지가 연계된 전력계통의 과도안정도 향상에 있어서 STATCOM의 유효성을 보인다. 접속점에 STATCOM을 설치하고 동적 모의를 한 결과 과도 안정도가 향상되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The power quality of wind energy becomes more and more important in connecting wind-farms to the grid, especially weak grid. This paper presents the simulation of a wind farm of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Flicker mitigation is performed by using PMSG as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to regulate the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). A benefit of the measure is that integrating two function of to control the active power flow and to reduce the voltage flicker in a wind farm. Simulation results show that controlling PMSG is an effective and economic measure in reducing the flicker during continuous operation of grid connected wind turbines regardless of short circuit capacity ratio, turbulence intensity and grid impedance angle.

The liberalization of electricity market and environmental concerns are the major driving forces for the development of Distributed Generation (DG). The mode of grid-connected wind power generation is becoming popular and has matured as a reliable DG technology. The voltage generated by the wind generator is stepped up to the higher voltage by the transformers before connecting to the grid. Operating algorithm of the differential relays for transformer protection used in the wind farms need to be modified to take care of the dynamic nature of fault current caused by the intermittent nature of the wind power. An algorithm for the differential relay is proposed in which dual slope characteristics are adjusted with varying fault level situation according to the wind generator in service as well as with the wind speed. A case study conducted for a typical wind farm shows that the proposed method avoids mal-operation of the differential relay in varying wind power conditions.

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.
