본 논문에서는 독립형 하이브리드 발전을 위한 효율적안 운영방법을 제안한다. 별도의 정원이 없는 오지에서 독립적으로 동작하기 위해 태양광과 풍력 또는 소수력을 활용하여 두 가지 이상의 발전을 이용하여 발전할 수 있는 하이브리드 발전을 이용한다. 또한 발전된 전원을 야간에도 사용할 수 있도록 저장할 수 있는 배터리를 내장하여 동작할 수 있도록 한다, 배터리의 이용은 발전이 발생되는 구간과 발전이 되지 않는 구간으로 나누어 설계하였다. 발전이 이루어지는 구간은 하나의 발전과 2개의 발전으로 분리하여 하나의 발전만 이루어지는 구간은 일반적인 CC/CV(정전류/전전압) 방식을 이용하여 일반 충전을 수행하고 두 개의 발전이 동시에 이루어지는 구간은 CC(전전류) 모드를 최대한 활용하는 급속 충전을 수행한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 2개 이상의 발전을 활용하여 독립적인 기능 수행이 가능한 하이브리드 발전을 이용한 독립형 장치로서 장소와 환경의 제한이 적어 실용가능성을 나타내었다.

In this study, a small wind turbine airfoil specialized for national wind condition was designed in order to develop the furling control type HAWT. And then a flow analysis was carried out based on the blade drawing which was designed to characterize of the developed airfoil. The result of the flow analysis showed that the torque on the 3 blades was 180.23N.m. This is equivalent to an output power of 5.66kw and an output efficiency of 0.44. Then we produced and constructed a 3kW - furling control type HAWT by getting the system unit design technology such as the specialized furling control device. By operating this turbine, we could get 3kW of the rated power at a wind speed of 10.5m/s through the ability test. Cut-in wind speed was 2m/s, generator efficiency was 92% at the rated power output. Sound power level was 87.2dB(A). Also we observed that the output power was limited to 10.5m/s with furling system operation.

An All-in-one LED lantern is a light device to determine the fairway of ships in operation. The current all-in-one LED lantern powered by solar energy is challenged by insufficient power capacity due to limited sun hours. This article presents an all-in-one 9-Nautical mile LED lantern driven by solar and wind power that is abundant maritime renewable energy. Furthermore, the remote smart monitoring system is developed. A smart control system capable of remote control of the lantern was implemented by using the LED lantern device and monitoring system as IoT. This technology that realtime condition monitoring and remote control are developed for safe ship navigation.

Variable renewable energy (VRE) such as solar and wind power is the main sources of achieving carbon net zero, but it undermines the stability of power supply due to high variability and uncertainty. Energy storage system (ESS) can not only reduce the curtailment of VRE by load shifting but also contribute to stable power system operation by providing ancillary services. This study analyzes how the allocation of ESS resources between load shifting and ancillary service can contribute to maximizing the efficiency of power supply in a situation where the problems caused by VRE are becoming more and more serious. A stochastic power system optimization model that can realistically simulate the variability and uncertainty of VRE was applied. The analysis time point was set to 2023 and 2036, and the optimal resource allocation strategy and benefits of ESS by varying VRE penetration levels were analyzed. The analysis results can be largely summarized into the following three. First, ESS provides excellent functions for both load shifting and ancillary service, and it was confirmed that the higher the reserve price, the more limited the load shifting and focused on providing reserve. Second, the curtailment of VRE can be a effective substitute for the required reserve, and the higher the reserve price level, the higher the curtailment of VRE and the lower the required amount of reserve. Third, if a reasonable reserve offer price reflecting the opportunity cost is applied, ESS can secure economic feasibility in the near future, and the higher the proportion of VRE, the greater the economic feasibility of ESS. This study suggests that cost-effective low-carbon transition in the power system is possible when the price signal is correctly designed so that power supply resources can be efficiently utilized.

Wind power forecast is critical for efficient power system operation. However, wind power has high forecasting errors due to uncertainty caused by the climate change. These forecasting errors can have an adverse impact on the power system operation. In order to mitigate the issues caused by the wind power forecasting error, wind power curtailment and energy storage system (ESS) can be introduced in the power system. These methods can affect the economics of wind power resources. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the economics of the methods for mitigating the wind power forecasting error. This paper attempts to analyze the economics of wind power curtailment and ESS operation for mitigating wind power forecasting error. Numerical simulation results are presented to show the economic impact of wind power curtailment and ESS operation.

최근 부하증가에 대한 안정적 전력공급과 환경문제 해결은 전 세계적 이슈로 등장되고 있으며, 그 해결책으로써 분산형전원(Distributed generation, DG)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. DG는 경제적 효율적 이유로 기존 전력계통과 연계해 운전되는데, 태양광이나 풍력과 같은 재생에너지를 이용한 DG의 불확실하며 빈번한 출력변동은 배전계통의 전압조정을 어렵게 만든다. 배전계통의 전압조정을 위해 배전용변전소의 부하시 탭 변환기(Under Load Tap Changer, ULTC)가 이용되고 있다. ULTC는 부하변동에 따른 배전선로상 전압강하를 보상하는 선로 전압강하보상법(Line Drop Compensation, LDC)에 의해 조정된다. LDC 전압조정법에서, 측정된 뱅크전류와 미리 설정된 LDC 정정치(LDC parameters, 부하중심점 전압과 등가 임피던스)를 이용해 ULTC의 송출전압을 결정한다. LDC 정정치 설계시, 기존에는 ULTC 탭 동작횟수를 줄이는 것이 주요 목표였고, 이 목표는 DG 도입을 제한하는 큰 원인이 되고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 DG 도입을 증가시키는 새로운 ULTC 전압조정법을 제시하고 모델 배전계통 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 유효성을 확인한다.

Blade efficiency decreases when the rotor speed is kept constant even though the wind speed is higher than the rated value. Therefore, a speed controller is used to regulate the rotor speed in the high-wind-speed region. In stall-blade wind turbine, the role of the speed controller is important because precise aerodynamic regulation is unavailable. In this study, an effective parameter design method of a PI speed controller is proposed to limit the speed overshoot of a type 4 wind turbine with stall blades even though wind gust occurs. The proposed method considers the efficiency characteristics of the stall blade and the mechanical inertia of the wind turbine rotor. It determines the bandwidth of the speed controller to comply with the speed limit during generator speed overshoot for the worst case of wind gust. The proposed method is verified through intensive simulations with a MATLAB/SIMULINK model and experimental results obtained using a 3 kW MG set of wind turbine simulator.

In marine site surveys, drilling boreholes are restrictively conducted, while geophysical surveys are used with ease. To overcome the limitations of marine site survey, various site survey data should be collected and analysed by adopting complementary pros and cons. In this study, the integration assessment was established to digitize 2D geo-layer based on the overlapping of a few borehole data to seismic refraction tomography and to determine 3D geo-information based on the kriging for the design of offshore-foundation. And the overlapping method was proposed considering spatial variability of the tomography and separation distance from borehole position to determine the 2D geo-layer. Finally, the integration assessment was applied to offshore wind-turbine site in Jeju-do, and its applicability was verified based on the cross-validation.

Research and development works on practical application of natural energy utilization systems involving solar, wind and sea wave energies are under promoting for the purpose of improving the energy consumption structure. These natural energies, made available with the use of relatively simple apparatus, are clean economically efficient and highly effective in the conservation of environment. However, these natural energies also have low energy density, randomness and regional variations. To compensate for these characteristics, hybrid utilization of solar and wind energies is currently under study. The introduction of a plural number of the natural energy hybrid utilization systems into a specific area will affect the economic efficiency, reliability and environmental conservation. Evaluation method of such effects has been examined in this study. The present method consisted of the steps described below. First, available energy was calculated from insolation distribution and wind velocity distribution in the specified area, and then the effect on the configuration of the power system load was obtained. This was followed by the determination of the optimal power dispatch over the specified period and by evaluations in light of economic efficiency, reliability and environmental indices.

Renewable energy resources are rapidly becoming an integral part of electricity generation portfolios around the world due to declining costs, government subsidies, and corporate sustainability goal. Interacting wind, solar, and load forecast errors can create significant unpredictable impacts on the distribution system, feeder congestion, voltage standard and reactive power stability margins. These impacts will be increasing with the increasing penetration levels of variable renewable generation in the power systems. There is a limit to the maximum amount of renewable energy sources that can be connected in a distribution feeder by the connection rule of transmission & distribution facility in Korea. This study represents the decision plans of hosting capacity for distribution feeders without the need for significant upgrades to the existing transmission infrastructure. Especially, the paper suggests and discusses the hosting capacity standard of feeder cables and minimum load calculation of distribution feeders.
