The installed capacity of wind turbines in KOREA are growing and enlarging by the central government's support program. Thus, the importance of power performance verification and its uncertainty analysis are recognizing rapidly. This paper described the Power testing results of a 1.5MW wind turbine and analysed an uncertainty level of measurements. The measured power curves are very closely coincide with the calculated one and the annual power production under the given Rayleigh wind speed distribution are estimated with the $4.7{\sim}22.0%$ of uncertainty but, in the dominant wind speed region as $7{\sim}8m/s$, the uncertainty are stably decreased to $7{\sim}8%$.

This paper describes a scaled model development of PMSG wind power system using wind turbine simulator and matrix converter. The wind turbine simulator, which consists of an induction motor with vector drive, calculates the output torque of a specific wind turbine using simulation software and sends the torque signal to the vector drive after scaling down the calculated value. The operational feasibility of interconnected PMSG system with matrix converter was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was conformed by experimental works with a laboratory scaled-model of wind power system. The simulation and experimental results confirm that matrix converter can be effectively applied for the PMSG wind power system.

A wind turbine power performance test is very important to wind turbine manufacturers because a wind farm developer or planner must want to define power performance characteristics and reliability of new wind turbines. Based on the IEC 61400-12-1, A wind turbine test site has to be nicely installed at flat terrain for testing. We are developing the wind power system which is IEC wind class IIa model with rated power of 3MW. KEPCO's Gochang power testing center was considered as candidates to build the test site without site calibration. This paper aims to verify the validity of the test site by using implement site assessment result that was based on IEC 61400-12-1.

본 논문은 이중여자 유도형(DFIG) 풍력발전 시스템에서 유효전력과 무효전력을 직접적으로 제어하기 위해 가변구조제어의 일종인 스위칭 이득기반의 선형궤환(LFSG)제어기법을 제시한다. 개조된 직접전력제어기법 (DPC)과 공간벡터변조방식(SVM)은 제안하는 제어기법을 실현하기 위해 이용된다. 개조된 직접전력제어원리를 이용해서 설계된 LFSG제어기법은 널리 사용되고 있는 자속기준제어기법(FOC)에 비해서 간단한 제어구조로 강인성과 빠른 응답특성을 보인다. 시뮬레이션결과는 제안하는 제어전략의 타당성과 강인성을 확인해준다.

This paper described the power testing results of a 3MW wind turbine and analysed an uncertainty level of measurements. The measured power curves are very closely coincide with the calculated one and the annual power production under the given Rayleigh wind speed distribution are estimated with the 3.6~12.7% of uncertainty but, in the dominant wind speed region as 7~8m/s, the uncertainty are stably decreased to 6.3~5.3%.

본 논문은 풍력 발전 출력 안정화 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 다양한 부하변동과 계통 사고에 대한 검증이 필수적이나, 실제로 다양한 조건에서 실증하기는 현실적으로 불가능하여, 본 논문에서는 축소형 시뮬레이터를 통하여 제안된 알고리즘 검증하고자 한다. 특히 전체구성의 적용을 위해 3상 농형 유도전동기를 통한 발전기의 출력을 유도하였으며 이를 위한 인버터를 사용하여 시뮬레이터를 구성하였고 지형별 특성에 맞는 데이터를 기반으로 풍력데이터를 입력하여 출력조건을 형성하였다. 또한 조상기와 덤프로드를 통해 부하의 출력변동분에 대한 계측과 분석에 초점을 맞추어 특성 계측이 가능하도록 구성할 수 있다.

A comparison study between two performance testing results, one is on the site calibration not needed and the other is needed, was proceeded for the understanding on the effect of site calibration on the complex terrain. As a result, it is revealed that all of uncertainty components is effected by the topographical features dramatically. And the maximum difference of uncertainty reached at around 8% of rated capacity of wind turbine. So, the site calibration is an effective method to remove the variable wind effect by the ground complexity and must be proceeded before the power performance testing of a wind turbine.

The capacity credit (CC) is a key metric for mid- to long-term power system capacity planning. The purpose of this study is to estimate the CCs of domestic wind turbines. Based on hourly capacity factor (CF) data during the seven years from 2011 to 2017, the new so-called probabilistic CF scheme is introduced to effectively reflect the variability of CFs on CC estimation. The CCs are then estimated through the CF-based method and the ELCC (Effective Load Carrying Capability) method reflecting the probabilistic CF scheme, and the results are compared. The results show that the CC value 0.019 for domestic wind turbines proposed in the $8^{th}$ Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand corresponds to the CC with a confidence level slightly lower than 95%.

This paper presents a new framework for design and economic evaluation of wind energy-based electricity supply system. We propose a network optimization (mixed-integer linear programming) model to design the underlying energy supply system. In this model we include practical constraints such as land limitations of onshore wind farms and different costs of offshore wind farms to minimize the total annual cost. Based upon the model, we also analyze the sensitivity of the total annual cost on the change of key parameters such as available land for offshore wind farms, required area of a wind turbine and the unit price of wind turbines. We illustrate the applicability of the suggested model by applying to the problem of design of a wind turbines-based electricity supply problem in Jeju. As a result of this study, we identified the major cost-drivers and the regional cost distribution of the proposed system. We also comparatively analyzed the economic performance of on/off shore wind farms in wind energy-based electricity supply system of Jeju.
