본 개발에서의 해상용 풍력발전기는 크게 허브와 블레이드를 합한 상부 구조물, 전기 발전기와 연결 조인트의 중간구조물, 각종 제어 장치가 들어있는 제어박스로 나누어진다. 상부 구조물은 Circular Hub 타입의 Darrieus 형상으로 양력(lift)을 이용한 회전력이 발생하며, Circular Hub 타입은 기존의 허브와 블레이드를 연결하여주는 암(arm)에 의해 유발되는 항력토크를 최소화 하기 위한 신개념 형상설계가 이루어 졌으며, 저속에서 우수한 회전특성을 가진다. 이는 바람을 받아 기계적 에너지로 전환 하는 역할을 하며, 풍력발전기의 성능에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 중간구조물의 전기발전기는, 상부에서 발생된 기계적 에너지를 이용하여 전기적 에너지로 전환 하는 역할을 수행한다. 이렇게 전환된 전기적 에너지는 하부의 제어박스를 거쳐서 해상용 부이(buoy)의 하단에 위치한 베터리 뱅크로 전달, 저장되어 부이에서 쓰이는 전력을 충당하게 된다. 한편 본 개발은 풍력발전기의 공력하중 해석과 로터블레이드의 설계, 풍력발전기의 구조, 진동해석, MPPT 제어컨트롤러와 Breaking controller, 풍동 및 차량시험을 통한 성능평가 및 분석 등의 순으로 개발을 수행하였다.

For the development of wind turbine, generally simulator is used. Simulator include wind turbine components. e.g blades, pitch and pitching method, rotor, yaw system, tower, drive train and so on. Few the more, it include a external circumstance. e.g wind speed, wind direction, air density. these basic parameters be used for the control of wind turbine by wind turbine controller in wind turbine simulator. The wind turbine controller can be designed in the wind turbine simulator. But a developer must make the real control system that will be made using PLC or PC or other processor. The developer must verify the function of control system. that is control algorithm , I/O function, communication, sequence and so on. This verification is possible if we substitute the real wind turbine control system for wind turbine controller in the simulator.

The small-sized wind turbine generating system with the output power less than 10kW, which can be installed in some areas of hills, parks, and cities due to its flexibility, is one of the progressive research and development fields in renewable energy. It is important for the small wind turbine generators to have low cost, high reliability as well as high efficiency. To meet these requirements, development of various maximum-power-point-tracking (MPPT) control schemes should be required. Generally, the output of the controller can be connected to a 48V battery to supply power to a DC load. In this work, the design and implementation of an FPGA-based MPPT controller for small-sized wind turbine generating system is presented. For the verification of the practical performance of various MPPT algorithms, CRIO controller from NI has been used.

The object of this paper is the controller for supplying stably power in a separate house in which a hybrid electrical storage system with a stand-alone photovoltaic/wind power generation system and a small generator is applied. In the photovoltaic/wind hybrid power system used in the separate house, when only the battery is used in sunless days, the capacity of the battery is become larger. In particular, as in recent days, if cloudy days are frequent due to anomaly climate, it is difficult to estimate the number of sunless days. Accordingly, it is preferable to build the electrical storage system that numbers of sunshineless days are to be controlled and a shortage amount of the power generation capacity is to be handled by a small generator system. In order to supply stably power of new renewable energy such as solar to any separate houses, it is preferable to reduce the capacity of battery by decreasing the number of sunless days when estimating the capacity of battery and to drive the small generator for compensation of the power shortage. Such system needs components including inverters for photovoltaic and wind power generation system, batteries and controllers for automatically driving the small generator, based upon the nature of the stand-alone house, and it is preferable to use the controller having a simpler and higher stability by adopting the all-in-one scheme to facilitate its maintenance.
