The present study aims to design an optimized hull shape of a floating pendulum-type wave energy converter(WEC). The purpose of these structure is to improve the performance and stability of the WEC by reducing its motion under operating and survival wave conditions. In this study, motion reduction structures, like restoring and dampling plates were installed on a floating pendulum WEC that has been the subject of previous studies. Restoring plates were installed to increase the restoring force and shift the natural period to a shorter period. Damping plates were installed to shift the natural period to a longer period by increasing the added mass. The effects of the structures were then analyzed under different incident wave conditions. The design parameters for the motion reduction structures were size, shape, and installed position. The wave-induced motion characteristics and performance of the floating pendulum WEC were also investigated numerically. Based on the simulation results, we are able to optimize the motion reduction structure of the WEC, thus improving its efficiency and durability.

The present study experimentally considers dynamic performance of large floating wave-offshore hybrid power generation platform in extreme conditions. In order to evaluate the motion performance of the large floating hybrid power generation platform, 1/50 scaled model was manufactured. A mooring line was also manufactured, and free-decay and static pull-out tests were carried out to check the mooring model. A mooring line table was introduced to satisfy the water depth, and environmental conditions were checked. Motion responses in regular waves were measured and complicated environmental conditions including wave, wind, and current were applied to see the dynamic performance in extreme/survival conditions. Maximum motion and acceleration were judged following the design criteria, and maximum offset and mooring tension were also checked based on the rule. The characteristics of hybrid power generation platform are discussed based on these data.

하천에서 유사량 자료는 하천의 이·치수 목적으로 활용할 수 있는 기본 자료중 하나로서 하상 변동 예측, 저수지 퇴사량 추정, 하도 계획과 설계, 유사조절 계획 수립 및 기타 구조물 등의 영향 평가 등 다양하게 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 신뢰성 높은 유사량 자료를 생산하기 위하여 국가유사량관측망 중 27개 지점에 대하여 유사량의 측정 및 특성분석을 수행하였다. 유사량 측정과정은 사전조사, 현장측정, 실험실분석, 모형적용(총유사량 산정) 단계로 구분할 수 있다. 사전조사 단계에서는 현장관련 정보를 수집하여 현장측정 계획 및 현장 안전대책을 수립하고, 현장측정 단계에서는 사전조사 단계에서 수립한 계획을 바탕으로 유사량을 측정하였다. 유사량 측정시 측선은 ISO 기준 이상의 5~7개로 측선을 나누어 측정하였고, 측정장비는 D-74, DH-48 부유사 채취기를 이용하여 왕복수심적분법으로 수행하였다. 실험실분석은 한국수자원조사기술원 유사량 실험실에서 채취시료에 대한 농도, 레이저회절법을 이용한 입도분석, 하상토분석(체분석), 비중실험을 수행하였다. 총유사량 산정을 위한 모형적용 단계에서는 수정-아인슈타인법(Modified Einstein Method)을 적용하였다. 또한, 유량-부유사량 농도 변화양상과 부유사량 특성 분석을 이용한 부유사량 측정결과를 평가하였고 각 지점의 부유사량특성을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 지수식(Q_ss = aQ^b)을 이용하여 유량-부유사량관계곡선식을 개발하였다.

For preliminary structural analysis of superstructures on very large floating structures(VLFS), superstructures are analyzed considering elastic deformations of barge type lower-structures subjected to wave loads. In this case, to consider the effect of wave loads on the superstructure, initial displacements at the support points of superstructures are evaluated as input data for the analysis. However, the evaluation and application of displacement loads are tedious and very time-consuming processes. Therefore, this paper proposes a simplified static analysis method to analyze the structural behaviors of superstructures on very large floating structures subjected to wave loads. In this study, the member forces due to the variation of beam span and the amplitude and period of wave load are analyzed by using an example 4 span -3 story structure and the amplification factors for beam moments are represented by the specific regression equation.

This paper investigates the natural modes of moduled floating structure with module unit connector. As an example structure, a floating parking place($120m{\times}60m$) is considered. In the evaluation of natural modes, numerical equations are formulated by FEM(Finite Element Method) and the natural modes are solved by the subspace iteration method. By comparing results for various stiffness of module unit connector, the effect of stiffness of unit connector is examined.

In this paper, the modified direct method employing beam transformation technique is proposed in order to efficiently calculate hydroelastic responses of floating structure. Since the proposed method expresses the displacements of three-dimensional structure with those of transformed beam which leads to small number of equations of motion, the method is numerically efficient compared to the conventional direct method. To verify the efficiency of the proposed method a 500 m-long floating structure under wave loads is considered in numerical example. Displacements, bending moments, torsion moments and shear forces are calculated and computing tine is examined. The results are also compared with those of the conventional direct method.

프레임에 그물감을 부착하여 구성되어 있는 가두리 시설은 대부분 수면에 반잠수 상태로 부유되어 계류되어 있기 때문에 파랑이 작용하면 운동을 하게 되며, 특히 파도가 높은 해역에서는 파에 의해 구조물이 연직 방향으로 크게 운동을 하여 어류에 나쁜 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 해상 작업을 하는 인부에게도 매우 위험하다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 파랑에 의한 운동이 최소화되도록 구조물을 설계해야 한다. (중략)
