The subsea power cables are increasingly important for harvesting renewable energies as we develop offshore wind farms located at a long distance from shore. Particularly, the continuous flexural motion of inter-array dynamic power cable of floating offshore wind turbine causes tremendous fatigue damages on the cable. As the subsea power cable consists of the helical structures with various components unlike a mooring line and a steel pipe riser, the fatigue analysis of the cables should be performed using special procedures that consider stick/slip phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs between inner helically wound components when they are tensioned or compressed by environmental loads and the floater motions. In particular, Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) can be generated by currents and have significant impacts on the fatigue life of the cable. In this study, the procedure for VIV fatigue analysis of the dynamic power cable has been established. Additionally, the respective roles of programs employed and required inputs and outputs are explained in detail. Demonstrations of case studies are provided under severely sheared currents to investigate the influences on amplitude variations of dynamic power cables caused by the excitation of high mode numbers. Finally, sensitivity studies have been performed to compare dynamic cable design parameters, specifically, structural damping ratio, higher order harmonics, and lift coefficients tables. In the future, one of the fundamental assumptions to assess the VIV response will be examined in detail, namely a narrow-banded Gaussian process derived from the VIV amplitudes. Although this approach is consistent with current industry standards, the level of consistency and the potential errors between the Gaussian process and the fatigue damage generated from deterministic time-domain results are to be confirmed to verify VIV fatigue analysis procedure for slender marine structures.

본 연구에서는 분전반의 설치 형태를 조사하였고, 향 검지 시스템의 재현 실험을 통해서 전기 재해 예방의 가능성을 확인하고자 한다. 주택용 분전반 내에 설치된 차단기는 MCCB, RCD 순서로 되어 있으나, 산업용은 혼용되고 있다. 접속이 부적절하게 된 단자대에 가진기를 이용하여 진동을 가했을 때 불꽃이 확인되었다. 단자대에 향 캡슐을 부착하여 실험한 결과, 발생한 열에 의해 캡슐이 정확하게 작동되었다. 센서의 설치 위치에 따라 검지 시간의 차이는 약 10초 이었다. 향 검지 시스템은 전기 설비 사고 예방이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 전선의 접속부에서 이상 발열이 있을 때 과열의 상태를 관리자에게 경보해 줌으로써 사고 예방이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
