This paper proposes a performance improvement of a grid-connected wind turbine using sliding-mode based direct power control under an unbalanced grid fault. The proposed control method has some advantages for grid connected control. At first, it doesn't need the synchronous phase angle of the grid voltage. It has also fast dynamic characteristics compared with a conventional current controller. In addition, it is suitable for an unbalance compensation control. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm are verified by simulations and experiments.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of fishery in offshore wind farms and evaluate the risk linked to the presence of turbines and submarine cables in these areas. With this objective, we studied an offshore wind farm in the Southwest Sea and the current state of vessels in the surrounding National Fishing Port. The risk assessment criteria for 22 fishing gears and methods were set by referring to the fishing boats; thereafter, the risk was assessed by experts. The fishing gears and methods that could be safely operated (i.e., associated with low risk) in the offshore wind farm were: single-line fishing, jigging, and the anchovy lift net. The risk was normal so that it is possible to operate, but the fishing gears and methods that need attention are: the set long line, drifting long line, troll line, squid rip hook, octopus pot, webfoot octopus pot, coastal fish pot, stow net on stake, winged stow net, stationary gill net, and drift gill net. Moreover, the fishing gears and methods difficult to operate in the of shore wind farm (i.e., associated with high risk) were: the dredge, beam trawl, and purse seine. Finally, those associated with very high risk and that should not be allowed in offshore wind farms were: the stow net, anchovy drag net, otter trawl, Danish seine, and bottom pair trawl.

A wind turbine simulation program for the coupled dynamics of aerodynamics, elasticity, multi-body dynamics and controls of turbine is newly developed by combining an aero-elastic code and a multi-body dynamics code. The aero-elastic code, based on the blade momentum theory and generalized dynamic wake theory, is developed by NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA). The multi-body dynamics code is commercial one which is capable of accounting for geometric nonlinearity and twist deflection. A turbulent wind load case is simulated for the NREL 5-MW baseline wind turbine model by the developed program and FAST. As a result, the two results agree well enough to verify the reliability of the developed program.

본 논문에서는 제주 한림 풍력발전소와 한림 변전소간에 구축할 예정인 ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW HVDC 시스템의 절연 설계를 위해, 각 구성품의 절연 등급을 수 계산으로 설계하였다. 계산된 절연등급을 기반으로 한림 변전소와 한림 풍력 단지에 설치되는 HVDC 기기들의 최소 절연거리를 IEC 규격에 맞게 설계하였다. AC/DC 기기의 특정 전압 등급에 견딜 수 있는 최소 거리는 실제 시스템 설치 시 반영함으로써 검증하였다.

When we urgently need to develop and supply an alternative energy, wind power is growing with much interest because it has relative low cost of power and area of tower. To estimate the wind power resource, it is necessary to make an observation first. Although the large wind falm and resources are near coast and mountain area, the wind energy in urban area has the strong thing of direct access to power generator. In this study, we estimate the probability of wind energy above urban area using SODAR data, which is located at the top of the tall building (140m).

본 연구에서는 XFOIL을 사용하여 설계된 30% 두께를 가지며 팁에서의 두께가 코드의 1.5%인 풍력터빈용 에어포일의 공력 특성을 해석하였다. 받음각에 따른 양력 항력 곡선 및 양항비를 XFOIL에서 얻어낸 결과와 EDISON_CFD 해석 결과를 상호 비교 하였다. EDISON_CFD에서의 해석을 위한 격자의 형태를 격자균일성을 생각하여 큰 타원과 작은 타원을 합쳐 만들었다. 수치 기법으로 Roe의 FDS를 선택하여 데이터를 수집하였다. 그 결과로 나타낸 압력계수와 양항비 그래프를 보면 선형 구간에서 양력은 XFOIL 해석 결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 항력에서 약1.5배 정도 EDISON_CFD의 결과가 크게 나옴으로써 양항비의 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 실속이후에서는 XFOIL의 신뢰도가 떨어지는 경향이 있어 특히 실속이후에서는 CFD의 해석결과가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

This study conducted to obtain the lateral resistance of a wind power foundation reinforced with piles through an model experiment. In particular, the lateral resistance of the foundation was compared with the existing gravity-type wind power foundation by integrating the pile, the wind power generator foundation, and the rocky ground. In addition, changes in the lateral resistance and bending moment of the pile were analyzed by embeded depths of the pile. As a result, it was found that the lateral resistance increased with the depth of embedment of the piles. In particular, the pile's resistance increase ratio was 2.11 times greater in the case where the pile embedded up to the rock layer than the case where the pile was embedded into the riprap. It was found that the location of the maximum bending moment occurred at the interface between the wind turbine foundation and the riprap layer when the pile embeded to the rock layer. Through this, as the lateral resistance of the wind power foundation reinforced with piles is greater than that of the existing gravity-type wind power foundation, it is understood that it can be a more advantageous construction method in terms of safety.

In general, to maximize the supply and efficiency of floating offshore wind power generation energy, the motion caused by wave attenuation of the substructure must be reduced. According to previous studies, the motion response was reduced due to the vortex viscosity generated by the damping plate installed in the lower structure among the waves. In this study, a 5 MW semi-submersible OC5 platform and two platforms with attenuation plates were designed, and free decay experiments and numerical calculations were performed to confirm the effect of reducing motion due to vortex viscosity. As a result of the model test, when the heave free decay tests were conducted at drop heights of 30 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm, compared with the OC5 platform, the platform with two types of damping plates attached had relatively improved motion damping performance. In the model test and numerical calculation results, the damping plate models, KSNU Plate 1 and KSNU Plate 2, were 1.1 times and 1.3 times lower than OC5, respectively, and the KSNU Plate 2 platform showed about two times better damping performance than OC5. This study shows that the area of the damping plate and the vortex viscosity are closely related to the damping rate of the heave motion.

모든 건설재료에서 치수의 한계가 있다. 현수선교나 사장교인 경우 강재를 사용하면 최대지간 거리 $5000m{\sim}7000m$ 가 가능하나, 유리섬유 복합재료를 시용하면 이의 2 배, 탄소섬유 복합재료를 사용하면 이의 3 배가 가능하다. 지간 거리가 20,000m 가 되면 가장 중요한 하중은 바람하중이다. 복합재료의 여러 장점 때문에 거대한 규모의 건물, 교량등 구조물이 건설될 때 구조 기술자는 풍(바람)하중을 구하고 다룰 수 있어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 구조 기술자가 풍 하중을 구할 수 있게 기초 이론과 기본기술을 제공하고 있다.

In this study, centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the effect of the lateral load-moment combination on the p-y curves for 7 m-diameter monopiles installed in sand for offshore wind turbine. For the objectives, a centrifuge testing system was developed and tests were conducted at an acceleration of 68.83 g using well-instrumented model monopiles under two different lateral load-moment combinations simulated by different loading heights: 1 and 5 times monopile diameter from the ground surface. The sand was prepared as medium loose sand. Based on the centrifuge test results, the experimental p-y curves were evaluated and compared with previous literatures including API codes. The experimental results reveal that the p-y curves were little influenced by the combination of lateral load and moment. It was also found that the embedded length affects p-y curves.
