The offshore wind farm is increasingly attractive as one of future energy sources all over the world. In addition, the capacity of an offshore wind turbine gets larger and its physical characteristics are big and heavy. In this regard, a special port is necessary to assemble, store, and transport the offshore wind systems, supporting to form the offshore wind farms. Thus, this study aims to provide a policy maker which evaluation factors can significantly affect to the optimal site selection of a offshore wind port. For this, Fuzzy-AHP method is applied to capture the relative weights. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. Five criteria in level I was defined such as the accumulation factor, the regional factor, the economic factor, the location factor, and the consortium factor. Of these, the accumulation factor(37.4%), the location factor(34.2%), and the economic factor( 24.5%) were analyzed by major factors. In level II, three assessment items of each factor were selected so that total fifteen items were formed. To sum up, the site selection of offshore wind port should consider the density of the wind industry, cargo volume of securing the economic operation of terminals, the development degree of offshore wind related industry, and the proximity to the offshore wind farms. In other words, the construction of offshore wind port should be paid attention to considering not only the proximity to offshore wind farms but also the preference of turbine manufacturing companies.

To evaluate the suitability of wind energy which is one of the alternative future resources, middle and long term survey and verification about the value of wind resource is needed. However, because measurement equipments of wind information is generally installed at remote and secluded place, it is not easy to gather wind information and relative data in real time. In this paper, we design and demonstrate the system which gathers wind information and provides users with services, therefore it help us to decide the suitability and applicability of wind resources. Also, we develop the system by using web services technologies so as to provide a variety of clients with adequate services and information.

Monitoring system is an absolutely-required system for assessing a performance and fatigue load of the wind turbine in an on-shore wind energy experimental research complex. It was implemented for the purpose of monitoring the wind information measured from a meteorological tower at the monitoring house, and of utilizing the measured data(fatigue data and electric analyzing data of wind turbine)for the performance assessment, by using the LabVIEW program. Then, by adding the performance assessment-related data acquired from the wind turbine during the performance assessment and the data recorder for synchronizing the data of meteorological tower, the system(BusDAQ) was implemented. Because it transmitted the data by converting the output 'RS-232' of data logger which measures the wind condition into CAN protocol, the data error rate was minimized. Also, This paper is introduced to make the best use of the developed monitoring system and to explain about construct of the system and detailed data communication of its system.

This paper presents a modeling and simulation of a fuzzy controller for maximum power extraction of a grid-connected wind energy conversion system with a link of a rectifier and an inverter. It discusses the maximum power control algorithm for a wind turbine and proposes, in a graphical form, the relationships of wind turbine output, rotor speed, power coefficient, tip-speed ratio with wind speed when the wind turbine is operated under the maximum power control. The control objective is to always extract maximum power from wind and transfer the power to the utility by controlling both the pitch angle of the wind turbine blades and the inverter firing angle. Pitch control method is mechanically complicated, but the control performance is better than that of the stall regulation method. The simulation results performed on MATLAB will show the variation of generator's rotor angle and rotor speed, pitch angle, and generator output.

For maximum output power, wind turbines are usually controlled at the speed which is determined by the optimal tip-speed ratio. This method requires information of wind speed and the power conversion coefficient which is varied by the pitch angle control. In this paper, a new maximum output power control algorithm using fuzzy logic control is proposed, which doesn't need this information. Instead, fuzzy controllers use information of the generator speed and the output power. By fuzzy rules, the fuzzy controller produces a new generator reference speed which gives the maximum output power of the generator for variable wind speeds. The proposed algorithm has been implemented for the 3[kW] cage-type induction generator system at laboratory, of which results verified the effectiveness of the algorithm.

현대 전력산업은 IEC61850의 표준화작업이 한창 진행중이다. IEC61850-7-4는 전력설비 요소마다 Logical Node를 선언해 놓았다. 현재의 Logical Node는 보호, 제어, 인터페이스, 기록, 자동, 측정, 센서 & 모니터링, 변전기기 등의 그룹으로 나뉘어져 있다. 그러나 본 논문에서 대상으로 하는 GIS 예방진단 시스템에 관한 Logical Node와 공통 데이터 클레스(CDC: Common Data Class)가 명확히 선언되지 않았다. 1993년 IEC61850의 객체모델이 제안될 때부터 변전소의 다양한 설비를 완벽하게 객체화 할 수 있는가에 대한 의문이 있었으며 현재에서 이런 의문점을 개선하기 위하여 TC57위원회에서는 지속적인 모델 수정 및 정비 작업을 수행하였다. 실제로 현재에도 전력품질에 대한 logical node가 'Q'그룹으로 새롭게 제시되고 있고 풍력발전이나 분산전원에 대한 logical node가 추가되거나 기존의 IEC61850-7-4의 내용이 수정되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 이와 같이 변전설비 자동화에 필요하지만 IEC TC57에서 표준화되지 않은 온라인 GIS 예방진단용 설비에 대한 표준모델을 제시하였고 모델에 대한 logical node나 CDC를 구성하였다.

Wind energy has been more and more important and contributive in the energy utilization of the world. This paper proposed a novel method for Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), in which a secondary control hydrostatic transmission (SC-HST) with two hydraulic accumulators, were employed for wind energy conversion system. This approach can absorb the excessive power of turbine, keep the generator from over-speed and maintain the speed of generator in low speed of turbine. A PID controller was designed for speed control to track a predefined speed. The simulation results indicated that the speed of the generator was ensured with the relative error less than 2%; and the efficiency of the proposed system was 70.4%.

Wind power system is generally divided into the onshore wind turbine and the offshore wind turbine according to site locations. The offshore wind turbine is manufactured as a closed nacelle cooling system including a heat exchanger to prevent corrosion, but the onshore wind turbine is manufactured as open nacelle cooling system dependent on only the outdoor air without a heat exchanger. The indoor of a nacelle which is composed of a generator, foil power converters and a gearbox with a lot of heat is very narrow and airtight. This aim of the study is to demonstrate the temperature effect depending on positions of air-supply and exhaust ports. And this study discusses the flow field and removal efficiency of heat caused by components.

정부의 녹생성장 정책에 의해서 신재생에너지들의 보급률이 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 특히 배전계통에 태양광/풍력발전 등 분산전원의 설치가 급증함에 따라 기존 배전계통의 조류흐름이 단방향(One direction)에서 양방향(Bi-direction)으로 변화 되어 배전계통의 운용상에 여러 가지 문제점들이 발생할 가능성이 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분산전원의 배전계통 연계에 따른 보호기기의 정정 및 보호협조검토가 가능한 보호협조 평가알고리즘을 개발하고, 그 알고리즘을 바탕으로 보호협조 평가시스템을 제작하였다. 이 평가시스템에 분산전원 연계 시, 배전계통의 보호기기들 사이의 보호협조를 검토하여 제안한 알고리즘의 유효성을 확인하였다.

This study analyzes the fabric skin of a wind turbine blade. The fabric skin is a membrane structure that was analyzed using a static Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) method. For this study the blade of large 5 MW wind turbine was selected. In order to examine the validity of the analysis, a variety of reference data were used. Before conducting static FSI analysis, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and modal analysis were done. Then interaction analysis was conducted. FSI analysis was done with imported Aerodynamic data that resulted from the CFD analysis. The resulting observations about the membrane structure, inherent tensions, deformation of the final structure, and aerodynamic forces caused by deformation are reported.
