Characteristics Analysis of Domestic Wind Energy Resources

국내의 풍력자원 특성 분석

The recent technology of Wind Energy Conversion System(WECS) in the world is well-developed and the feasibility of WECS is better than the past time. So, it is necessary to re-analyze the characteristics of wind energy in this country. This paper deals with the analysis of wind energy distribution in Korean Peninsula, Cheju and Ullung island. The assessment was performed based on the raw data collected 64 meteorological stations for the last 10 years. The wind energy characteristics were analyzed hourly, monthly, seasonally and annually. The Weibull distribution was assumed and two parameters in all areas were calculated and the wind energy potential distribution in Korea was obtained.

최근 전 세계적으로 풍력발전 기술의 급속한 발달로 인하여 풍력발전의 경제성이 과거보다 점차 향상되고 있으며, 이에 국내에서의 풍력발전 가능성을 재확인하기 위한 사업의 일환으로 기상대에서 지난 10년간 관측한 풍속데이타를 Weibull 함수로 특성화하여 우리나라 전역의 풍황과 풍력자원 변화 및 분포 특성을 시간별, 월별, 계절별 및 년도별로 거시적으로 분석하였다.
