In this study, the capability of an existing analysis method for the fluid-structure-soil interaction of an offshore wind turbine is expanded to account for the geometric nonlinearity and sea water drag force. The geometric stiffness is derived to take care of the large displacement due to the deformation of the tower structure and the rotation of the footing foundation utilizing linearized stability analysis theory. Linearizing the term in Morison's equation concerning the drag force, its effects are considered. The developed analysis method is applied to the earthquake response analysis of a 5 MW offshore wind turbine. Parameters which can influence dynamic behaviors of the system are identified and their significance are examined.

In facing the lack of a deterministic algorithm for economic load dispatch optimization problem, only non-deterministic heuristic algorithms have been suggested. Worse still, there is a near deficiency of research devoted to real-time load dispatch optimization algorithm. In this paper, therefore, I devise a shut-off and swap algorithm to solve real-time load dispatch optimization problem. With this algorithm in place, generators with maximum cost-per-unit generation power are to be shut off. The proposed shut-off criteria use only quadratic function in power generation cost function without valve effect nonlinear absolute function. When applied to the most prevalent economic load dispatch benchmark data, the proposed algorithm is proven to largely reduce the power cost of known algorithms.

To use vibration energy to generate electricity, a resonance vertical linear electric generator was applied to the suspension of a vehicle in a previous paper. However, the working conditions, including mass change in the vehicle body related to the cargo on board, number of passengers and the temperature difference caused by the operating environment, can influence the permanent magnet, which is the main component of the electric generator. Therefore, a robust optimum design is required to minimize the influences from the diverse operation conditions and maximize the electromotive force of the electric generator. In this paper, a resonance linear electric generator is introduced. Vibration response analysis to find the input velocity of the electric generator and an electromagnetic transient analysis to apply changes in the performance of the permanent magnet are performed. Finally, the optimum value of each design variable is derived using a Taguchi method.

In this paper, preliminary results for performance prediction of a dual-rotor wind turbine generator system are presented. Blade element and momentum theories are used to model the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the rotor blades, and multi-body dynamics approach is used to integrate the major components to represent the overall system. Not only the steady-state performance but the transient response characteristics are analyzed. Pitch control strategy to control the rotor speed and the generator output is proposed and its performance is verified through the nonlinear simulation.

This paper presents a novel algorithm for determining the optimal operation of a cogeneration plant with back-pressure and extraction-condensing turbine/generators. The proposed algorithm determines the optimum load of boilers and turbine/generators, using only one parameter, the steam mass flow rate, which can be obtained directly from on-line measurement during plant operation. The proposed algorithm consists of the non -linear operating cost function, and its correlated constraints. Furthermore, it has been successfully applied to an actual industrial cogeneration plant, with satisfactory results. Comparison of these results with actual operating data has revealed that using the proposed algorithm results in at least 1.2~4.5[%] operating cost saving, depending on the process steam load. Furthermore the proposed algorithm can be easily installed in a process control computer because the required input data can be easily obtained from information available on-line.n-line.

Wind resource assessment is necessary when designing wind farm. To get the assessment, we must use a long term(20 years) observed wind data but it is so hard. so that we usually measured more than a year on the planned site. From the wind data, we can calculate wind energy related with the wind farm site. However, it calculate wind energy to collect the long term data from Met-mast(Meteorology Mast) station on the site since the Met-mast is unstable from strong wind such as Typhoon or storm surge which is Non-periodic. To solve the lack of the long term data of the site, we usually derive new data from the long term observed data of AWS(Automatic Weather Station) around the wind farm area using mathematical interpolation method. The interpolation method is called MCP(Measure-Correlative-Predict). In this study, based on the MCP Regression Model proposed by us, we estimated the wind energy at Handong site using AEP(Annual Energy Production) from Gujwa AWS data in Jeju. The calculated wind energy at Handong was shown a good agreement between the predicted and the measured results based on the linear regression MCP. Short term AEP was about 7,475MW/year. Long term AEP was about 7,205MW/year. it showed an 3.6% of annual prediction different. It represents difference of 271MW in annual energy production. In comparison with 20years, it shows difference of 5,420MW, and this is about 9 months of energy production. From the results, we found that the proposed linear regression MCP method was very reasonable to estimate the wind resource of wind farm.

The interest in renewable energy is increasing due to the depletion of fossil fuels. In particular, active research on wave power, which is highly predictable and abundant, is being conducted. The coaxial accelerator-type wave power generator used in this study was designed to improve the power generation efficiency by converting bidirectional linear motion into a rotational force. In an offshore engineering basin, waves were generated, and case tests were performed according to the wave period and wave height. The experimental results were verified by the theoretical method related to the frequency response, and the overall trend was confirmed to be consistent. These results are expected to be useful in estimating the power of wave generators and designing parameters to improve the efficiency of wave energy in the design stage before manufacturing. In addition, the manufacturer can predict the wave energy efficiency of wave generators, which can reduce the development time and cost by preventing trial and error processes.

Clarify wind energy productivity depends on three factors: the wind probability density function(PDF), the turbine's power curve, and the air density. The wind PDF gives the probability that a variable will take on the wind speed value. Wind shear refers to the change in wind speed with height above ground. The wind speed tends to increase with the height above ground. also, Wind PDF refers to the change with height above ground. Wind analysts typically use the Weibull distribution to characterize the breadth of the distribution of wind speeds. The Weibull distribution has the two-parameter: the scale factor c and the shape factor k. We can use a linear least squares algorithm(or Ln-least method) and moment method to fit a Weibull distribution to measured wind speed data which data was located same site and different height. In this study, find that the scale factor is related to the average wind speed than the shape factor. and also different types of terrain are characterized by different the scale factor slop with height above ground. The gross turbine power output (before accounting for losses) was caculated the power curve whose corresponding air density is closest to the air density. and air desity was choose two way. one is the pressure of the International Standard Atmosphere up to an elevation, the other is the measured air pressure and temperature to calculate the air density. and then each power output was compared.

In this paper, a design method of the boiler-turbine control system in the coal fired power plant is proposed. We need to control electric output and drum pressure and water level in drum to guarantee stable operation and save energy for generating electricity and decrease air pollution in the boiler-turbine system. This boiler-turbine control system is composed of reference model part and model following part. The multivariable boiler-turbine system is separated into 3 SISO(Single Input Single Output) systems applying the concept of relative gain matrix. Each 3 reference models for separated boiler-turbine system are composed of 1st order nominal plant and hysteresis integral control system and they make good dy¬namic response with no overshoot and fast rising time. Each fuzzy controller to follow as close as possible to the response of each reference model is designed. The robustness and the good tracking property can be achieved using 5150 fuzzy controllers when there are modeling errors, disturbances and parameter pertur¬bations. The effectiveness of the proposed design method is verified through simulations.

Recently, power converters installed on the specialized vessels such as LNG Carrier and Icebreaker and offshore plants mainly use diode rectifier. However, such devices cause distortion of supply voltage waveform by involving much harmonics to input current of non linearity load in rectifying operation. Distortion of supply voltage waveform can be problems such as false operation of generator, transformer and load device and deterioration of power quality. This thesis is focusing with a view to producing accurate sinusoidal AC waveform with certain load through improvement of distortion of current waveform causing under operation of rectifier by using accurate circuit of DC shaping. The result of computer simulation proved that harmonics involved in current and voltage waveform of power system can be reduced.
