This study suggests an algorithm for generating TMY(typical meteorological year) for the Korean peninsula, and generates the TMY based on the algorithm using 11 years(1998~2008) wind data observed at 77 sites of Regional Meteorological Offices(RMO). The algorithm consists of computing TMM scores based on the various statistics defined by the Fikenstein-Shafer statistical model and, in turn, generating TMY based on the TMM scores. Also the algorithm has two stages designed to yield the best representation of the regional wind characteristics appeared during the 11 years(1998~2008). The first stage is designed for the representation of each of 77 regions of RMO and the second is for the Korean peninsula. Various comparison studies are provided to demonstrate the properties of the TMY like its utility and typicality.

In order to clarify the characteristics of satellite based sea wind data assimilations applied for the estimation of wind resources around the Korean peninsula, several numerical experiments were carried out using WRF. Satellite sea wind data used in this study are QuikSCAT from NASA and ASCAT from ESA. When the wind resources are estimated with data assimilation, its estimation accuracy is improved clearly. Since the band width is broad for QuikSCAT, statistical accuracy of the estimated wind resources with QuikSCAT assimilations is better than that with ASCAT assimilations. But the wind estimated around sub-satellite point matches better with of ASCAT compared to QuikSCAT assimilation. The impact of sea wind data assimilation on the prediction of wind resources lasts for 6 hours after data assimilation starts, therefore the data assimilation processes using both fine spatial and temporal resolutions of sea wind are needed to make a more useful wind resource map of the Korean Peninsula.

In recent years, many countries have been endeavoring to exploit the offshore wind energy in terms of overcoming the limitations of on-land wind energy. Considering that mountains cover 70 percent of the Korean Peninsula and arable plains for wind energy are negligibly small, Korean government aggressively drives the offshore wind development of the Korean Peninsula. As part of preliminary investigation of offshore wind resources, KEPCO-RI (Korea Electric Power Corporation-Research Institute) has been analyzing marine buoy datasets measured at 5 positions over the period of 12 years, including estimation of extreme wind speed. It can be observed that variation of yearly wind speed, monthly wind speed as well as frequency distribution of wind direction. Wind classes of buoy sites are estimated by extrapolated average wind speed using log law. In addition, wind turbine class based on IEC code is assessed for evaluation of suitable wind turbine.

산림은 목재와 산채의 생산과 같은 물질생산의 기능이 있는 동시에 탄소를 고정하고 산소를 배출하는 광합성작용을 통하여 대기를 정화하며 지표토양의 침식을 방지한다. 또한 산림은 여러가지 동식물의 서식처로서 생물다양성을 보존하는 데 대단히 중요한 역할을 하는 동시에 도시민에게 휴식처를 제공하기도 한다. 이러한 산림의 다양한 기능 가운데 그 가치가 공식적으로 인정이 되고 있는 것은 목재나 약재와 같이 시장에서 유통되는 임산물의 생산기능에 제한되고 있어 산림자원의 효율적인 이용과 관리를 어렵게 하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여서는 산림이 지니고 있는 환경보전기능에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 이 논문에서는 최근 서구 제국에서 진행되고 있는 산림의 환경보전적 가치의 평가에 관한 연구 추이를 살펴보고 이러한 산림의 환경보전적기능의 평가를 뒷받침할 수 있는 이론적 체계를 정립하고자 하였다. 환경자원평가 방법을 산림의 환경보전가치 평가에 적용할 수 있는가를 검토하였으며, 적용장의 문제점을 살펴보았다. 산림의 환경보전적 가치를 평가하고자 할 경우에는 대부분의 경우에 있어서 생산함수법을 우선적으로 사용하고, 이 방법의 적용이 불가능할 경우 가계생산함수법과 실험시장법은 보완적으로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.

For the evaluation of wind resources, numerical simulation was carried out as a tool for establishing wind map around the korean peninsula. Initial and boundary condition are given by 3 hourly RDAPS(Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System) data of KMA(Korea Meteorology Administration) and high resolution terrain elevation land cover(30 seconds) data from USGS(United States Geological Survey). Furthermore, Data assimilation was adopted to improve initial meteorological data with buoy and QuikSCAT seawinds data. The simulation was performed from 2003 to 2006 year. To understand wind data correctly in complex terrain as the korean peninsula, at this research, Wind map was classified 4 categories by distance from coastline and elevation.

Simulations using two well-known commercial codes, WAsP and WindSIM, were performed to predict the wind resources in complex terrains of Korea. The predictions from the codes were compared with the measured data. Cross predictions were performed for two closely located measurement sites. The results from WindSIM were found to be more accurate than those from WAsP. The predictions for wind velocity and direction in five different sites of complex terrain from WAsP and WindSIM were also compared. It was found that if the self prediction of the wind velocity and direction from WAsP is close to the measured wind data, the discrepancies between WAsP results and WindSIM results are also close.

In order to investigate the offshore wind resources, the measured data from the QuikSCAT satellite was analyzed from Jan 2000 to Dec 2008. QuikSCAT satellite is a specialized device for a microwave scatterometer that measures near-surface wind speed and direction under all weather and cloud conditions. Wind speed measured at 10 m above from the sea surface was extrapolated to the hub height by using the power law model. It has been found that the high wind energy prevailing in the south sea and the east sea of the Korean peninsula. From the limitation of seawater depth for piling the tower and archipelagic environment around the south sea, the west and the south-west sea are favorable to construct the large scale offshore wind farm, but it needs efficient blade considering relatively low wind speed. Wind map and monthly variation of wind speed and wind rose using wind energy density were investigated at the specified positions.

For the diversity of energy supply system and the improvement in the habitants' living environments of the islands, it is possible and necessary to use the natural energy as resources of the electric power generation system. In this study, the characteristics of wind and solar radiation on 4 islands offshore Namhae-Tongyoung of Korea were measured for one year from November 2010 to October 2011 and analyzed in relation to energy resources survey. As a result of measurement and analysis, the respective wind rose diagrams of 4 islands were made, and showed that the frequencies of wind directions were quite different from among the islands. The Rayleigh probability distribution of wind velocity showed that the wind speeds of KR and SS were mainly 2~5m/s, and the respective quantities of electric power generation of 4 islands were shown to be different. The variation of solar radiations and potential quantity of those uses were measured to be similar to each other among 4 islands.
