Abstract

This paper presents a methodology to analyze the interference of maritime traffic control radar by wind turbines installed in the sea, and the interference result of the maritime traffic control radars by a small number of wind turbines installed in sea near Gunsan port (Gunsan vessel traffic services). A ray based electromagnetic analysis software is used to analyze the interference. The geographic information system map containing altitude data, drawing of wind turbines, and sea with waves are imported to the software to analyze the effect of the terrain and the wind turbines. According to the analysis, a small number of wind turbines, not large scale wind farms, has no severe impact on the operation of the radar.

본 논문에서는 해상에 설치되는 풍력발전기에 의한 해상 관제 레이더의 간섭 여부를 분석하는 방법론을 제시하고, 군산항 인근 해역에 설치되는 소수의 풍력발전기에 의한 해상 관제 레이더의 간섭 여부를 분석하였다. 레이더 간섭 분석은 ray 기반의 전자기 해석 프로그램을 이용하였으며, 고도 정보를 포함하는 수치지형도, 풍력발전기 도면 및 파도를 포함하는 해수면을 전자기 해석 프로그램에 맞게 변환하여 주변 지형과 풍력발전기에 의한 영향을 반영하였다. 분석 결과 대규모 풍력발전단지가 아닌 소수의 풍력발전기의 설치는 해상 관제 레이더의 운용에 심각한 영향이 없는 것으로 분석된다.
