In recent years, many researchers and developers have been interested in renewable energy all over the world. Particularly, the development of wind power is being processed actively due to its high economic efficiency. A few years ago, Korean government has started the research for building a large-scale offshore wind farm in domestic west-southern area. Current domestic SCADA technology level for operating wind farm is very low compared with foreign SCADA technology level. In this paper, we found IT issues and solutions for developing SCADA system. Based on these solutions, we designed SCADA system for a large-scale offshore wind farm.

전 세계적으로 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있는 가운데, 국내에서도 대규모 해상 풍력발전단지 개발을 진행중에 있다. 현재 풍력발전단지 운영 기술인 SCADA 시스템의 국내 기술 수준은 매우 낮은 수준으로 현장 적용 가능한 SCADA 시스템 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대규모 해상 풍력발전단지 SCADA 시스템 개발을 위해서 필요한 고려 사항을 분석하였다.

주요 통항로에 설치된 해상교량과 해상풍력단지는 선박의 안전항해에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 특히, 90년대 들어 국내에 다수 건설된 해상교량은 과거에 경험하지 못한 대규모 선박-교량 충돌사고의 유발 가능성을 예고하고 있다. 또한 국내 군산지역에 구축될 해상풍력단지 역시 선박과의 충돌 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 과거에 연구 개발된 해상교량과 해상풍력단지의 안전성 평가기법을 조사하고, 향후 실용화 방안을 모색하였다. 연구결과, 기존 연구결과를 토대로 위기관리 시스템을 구축하면 궁극적인 해양사고 예방이 가능할 것으로 고려되었다.

As developing the large-scale offshore wind farm is expected, the preliminary environmental impact assessment is very essential. In this study, the wave hindcast model is verified based on observed data at the coast around Wido which is among the candidate sites for developing the offshore wind farm. In addition, the effect of the wind turbine foundations on wave height is analyzed when total 35 wind turbines including monopile foundations of 5 m in diameter are installed. Calculation result of significant wave height is in good accord with observed data since the RMS error is 0.35 m. Moreover, it is found that the presence of the wind turbine foundations hardly affects wave height as wave damping ratio is less than 1%.

Globally, several countries with sea are using eco-friendly energy resources through offshore wind power development by overcoming the weak point of the existing power generation method. The sea has the advantage of being able to develop large scale wind farms in wide waters, but the installation of marine structures threatens the safe operation of vessels. Accordingly, a standard guideline for safe navigation by analyzing the mutual effects between ship routes and offshore wind site was presented by the PIANC. Nonetheless, the standard guideline calculated the same safe distance in all situations. Therefore, this study developed a calculation model for an optimal safe distance between ship routes and offshore wind sites by reflecting the ship's maneuvering, encounter situations, environmental force, traffic density, offshore wind power generators, and channel types. As a result of the validation simulation, the developed model showed that the optimal safe distance was secured.

The horizontal force transfer to the turbine and substructure of a wind power generation system is a very important factor in maintaining the safety of the system, but it is inevitably vulnerable to large-scale coastal disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons. Wind power generation systems built on the coast or far offshore are very disadvantageous in terms of economic feasibility due to an increase in initial investment cost because a more robust design is required when installed in areas vulnerable to coastal disasters. In this study, the GIS method was used to select the optimal site for a wind farm from the viewpoint of reducing the risk of coastal disasters. The current status of earthquakes in the West and South Seas of Korea, and the path and intensity of typhoons affecting or passing through the West and South Seas were also analyzed. Accordingly, the optimal offshore wind farm site with the lowest risk of coastal disasters has been selected and will be used as basic research data for offshore wind power projects in the region in the future.

Recently, the share of wind power in energy markets has sharply increased with the active development of renewable energy internationally. In particular, large-scale wind farms are being developed far from the coast to make use of abundant wind resources and to reduce noise pollution. In addition to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by offshore wind farms to coastal or air surveillance radars, it is necessary to investigate the EMI on global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) communications between ship and coastal stations. For this purpose, this study investigates whether the transmitted field of MF/HF band from a ship would be subject to interference or attenuation below the threshold at a coastal receiver. First, using geographic information system digital maps and 3D CAD models of wind turbines, the area of interest is electromagnetically modeled with patch models. Although high frequency analysis methods like Physical Optics are appropriate to analyze wide areas compared to its wavelength, the high frequency analysis method is first verified with an accurate low frequency analysis method by simplifying the surrounding area and turbines. As a result, the received wave power is almost the same regardless of whether the wind farms are located between ships and coastal stations. From this result, although wind turbines are large structures, the size is only a few wavelengths, so it does not interfere with the electric field of MF/HF distress communications.

The major challenge in promoting large-scale offshore wind power projects is securing local acceptance. Several recent studies have emphasized the crucial role of local governments in addressing this problem. However, local governments have difficulty in achieving clear results because of the lack of expertise and manpower in offshore wind power projects, making thempassive in promoting these initiatives. In this context, we briefly introduce the case of Shinan-gun, which recently successfully conducted a pre-feasibility study on a large-scale offshore wind power complex led by the local government.

최근 대규모 해상풍력단지 조성을 위한 프로젝트 등이 진행되고 있다. 매우 튼 전력을 생산하는 풍력발전기를 계통에 연계시키기 위해서는 du/dt 필터, LCL 필터 등의 요소가 반드시 필요하다. 이러한 필터 설계를 위해서는 선제작한 후 실제 실험을 통해 그적합성을 시험 받는 수밖에 없다. 작은 규모는 상관없지만 이렇게 큰 용량의 필터를 설계하기 위해서는 적지 않은 노력과 비용이 필요하다. 따라서 이러한 설계를 위해서는 많은 시뮬레이션 수단이 강구될 수 있는바 본 논문은 FEM 프로그램을 이용하여 LCL 필터용의 3상 리액터를 설계하고 그 효과를 검증하고자 한다.

At a time when it is urgent to establish a management system for landscape quality assessment of offshore wind farms in Korea, we analyzed foreign cases to draw implications for improving the landscape quality assessment of offshore wind farms in Korea and to explore the direction of efficient landscape assessment. The main contents derived from the analysis of overseas cases and systems are as follows. First, offshore wind farms are large-scale projects, and it is necessary to consider the landscape from the pre-planning stage, as in overseas cases. Second, the evaluation items for marine landscape quality should be expanded and systematized. Third, a flexible evaluation system that can consider new landscape impacts is required. In order to identify the landscape impacts of offshore wind farm projects, we refer to the landscape assessment items and procedures derived from overseas cases, but reflect them appropriately to the domestic maritime conditions, and specifically introduce a plan to minimize the landscape impacts that may occur during offshore wind farm projects to contribute to the sustainable use of offshore wind power.
