A floating photovoltaic generation system is a new concept that combines existing photovoltaic generation technology with floating technology. This is installed in the water not on conventional land and a building. The system is designed as a unit module type that can be connected to other modules according to the power generation capacity, thereby forming a large-scale power generation facility. As a renewable energy source, it is composed of a floating structure, mooring device, photovoltaic power generation facility, and underwater cable. Because this system is installed outdoors, the effect of the wind load on the structure is very large. In this study, the wind loads most affected on the floating photovoltaic generation structure were obtained by computational fluid dynamic analysis. The flow characteristics and wind loads were analyzed for a range of wind orientations and angles of inclination. The analysis showed the position and magnitude of the maximum wind load to the wind direction and the flow characteristics around the solar panel and floating system. The wind load increased with increasing angle of inclination of the panel to the ground.

To establish a floating offshore wind turbine simulation model, a tension leg platform is added to an onshore wind turbine. The wind load is calculated by using meteorological administration data and a power law that defines the wind velocity according to the height from the sea surface. The wind load is applied to the blade and wind tower at a regular distance. The relative Morison equation is employed to generate the wave load. The rated rotor speed (18 rpm) is applied to the hub as a motion. The dynamic behavior of a 2-MW floating offshore wind turbine subjected to the wave excitation and wind load is analyzed. The flexible effects of the wind tower and the blade are analyzed. The flexible model of the wind tower and blade is established to examine the natural frequency of the TLP-type offshore wind turbine. To study the effect of the flexible tower and blade on the floating offshore wind turbine, we modeled the flexible tower model and flexible tower-blade model and compared it with a rigid model.

Floating platforms made of PE (PolyEthylene) are often located in shallows of seas, rivers or lakes. They are widely used for marine pensions, marine pontoons, marine bridges, etc. These products are characterized by good flexibility, recyclability, chemical resistance and weatherability with corrosion resistance. Existing PE floating platforms have a simple structure in which one pipe is fastened to one bracket, but this has limited application, even if a user modifies the arrangement. Therefore, we developed a structure that allows buoyancy pipes of various sizes to be fastened to one bracket and verified the structural safety of the product using the finite element method. From the results of structural analysis for buoyancy pipes of different diameters, the maximum stress ratio was 0.78 compared with allowable criteria of 1.0, which represented sufficient safety for a model with 500 mm diameter pipes. Based on the results of this study, further research to evaluate the structural safety of various floating platforms can be carried out in the further; it will also be necessary to establish related evaluation criteria.

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.

To evaluate wave reflection and transmission from buoyant flap-typed storm surge barriers, hydraulic experiments were performed by using regular and irregular wave conditions. Buoyant flap-typed storm surge barriers consist of buoyant main body connected with foundation structure in the seabed by hinge. The characteristics of wave reflection, transmission and dynamic response of the structure were investigated for 36 regular and 4 irregular wave conditions. It was also evaluated the usage of plain plate attached on the buoyant main body as one of alternatives to control wave reflection and transmission. From the hydraulic experiments, it was found that the case of plain plate attached on the offshore side is very effective to improve the wave transmission as well as reflection. But, the effect of the case on the harbor side might be negligible.

The aim of this study was to improve the vertical motion performance of floating marina structures and to optimize the shapes of the structures for the Korea coastal environment. The floating body is connected to a plate-shaped submerged body through a connecting line under the water that has a stiff spring that serves to reduce the heave response. This system, which has two degrees of freedom, was modelled to analyze the interaction between the floating body and the submerged body. The vertical motion of the two-body system was compared with the motion of a single body to verify that the system could perform as an optimized model.

최근 다양한 수해양공간개발계획에 있어 플로팅 건축물 도입에 대하여 긍정적인 관심이 증가하고 있다. 플로팅 건축물은 수상에 부유식 구조체 형식으로 조성되는 거주용 시설로 육역의 일반 건축물과 비교하여 수역에 위치하는 점과 구조체가 부체인 점에서 그 특성이 있다. 이러한 플로팅 건축물의 건설을 위해서는 플로팅 건축물 특성에 따른 장단점을 파악하여 적당한 입지를 찾는 것이 가장 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 플로팅 건축물 입지선정을 위해 고려해야하는 다양한 전제조건을 검토하여 플로팅 건축물 입지평가항목을 도출하고 전문가 설문조사를 통하여 각 평가항목별 가중치를 설정하여 플로팅 건축물 입지평가기준을 제시하였으며 입지평가기준을 바탕으로 전남과 전북지역을 대상으로 플로팅 건축물 입지를 선정하였다.
