As increasing the importance of renewable energy recently, the scale of a wind power plant is increasing to the number of GW scale and specially, it is trend to move from onshore to offshore to use the higher quantity and quality of wind. Consequently to meet the trend, it is largely considered the importance of communication protocol to control and monitor remotely. But, because the communication protocol between the control center and a wind turbine has been independently developed by each wind turbine vendor, it is absence of the compatibility and extensibility when the heterogeneous wind turbines are installed in the wind farm. The IEC 61400-25 is the specifying standard for these problems in Europe. In this paper, we will show the state of these problems and present a new structure of communication based on the IEC 61400-25 to get the compatibility and extensibility between a control center and wind turbines.

This paper presents a new gain scheduling speed controller of permanent magnet synchronous generators(PMSG) for MW-class direct-driven wind turbine systems. The proposed gain scheduling speed controller performs the speed tracking at more than one operating point, and the first-order torque observer estimates the turbine torque which is needed to precisely control the speed of PMSG. The proposed speed controller verifies that the PMSG can successfully follow the reference speed which is determined via the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control and pitch control under turbulent wind conditions. The proposed speed control algorithm is simulated using Simulink and its performance is confirmed through comparison with the results by PI control method.

In the development of electricity generating wind turbines for wind farm application, only two types have survived as the methods of power regulation; stall regulation and full span pitch control. The main purpose of this paper is to experimentally identify the characteristics of noise emission of wind turbines according to the power regulation types. The sound measurement procedures of IEC 61400-11 are applied to field test and evaluation of noise emission from each of 1.5 MW and 660 kW wind turbines (WT) utilizing the stall regulation and the pitch control for the power regulation, respectively. Apparent sound power level, wind speed dependence, third-octave band levels and tonality are evaluated for both of WTs. It is observed that equivalent continuous sound pressure levels (ECSPL) of the stall control type of WT continue to increase with increasing wind speed whereas those of the pitch control type of WT show less correlation with wind speed. These observed characteristics are believed to be due to the different airflow patterns around the blade between the stall regulation and the pitch control types of WT; the airflow on the suction side of blade in the stall types of WT are separated at the high wind speed. It is also found that the 1.5 MW WT using the stall control emits lower sound power than 660 kW one using the pitch control at wind speeds below 8m/s, whereas sound power of the former becomes higher than that of the latter in the wind speed over 8m/s. This wind-speed dependence of sound power leads to the very different noise omission characteristics of WTs depending on the seasons because the average wind speed in summer is lower than 8m/s whereas that in summer is higher. Based on these experimental observations, it is proposed that, in view of environmental noise regulation, the developer of wind farm should give enough considerations to the choice of power regulation of their WTG based on the weather conditions of potential wind farm locations.

풍력 터빈은 정격 풍속 미만일 때는 최대 출력을 내기위한 제어를 한다. MPC(Maximun Power Control)제어방법은 발전기의 회전속도를 제어하여 최대 출력을 내는 방법인데 풍속을 알아야한다. 하지만 여러 가지 이유로 풍속을 실측하기보다는 풍속을 예측하여 사용하는 방법들이 제안되고 있다. 풍속예측은 TSR(Tip Speed Ratio)을 알아야 하는 데, TSR은 복잡한 관계식을 풀어야 한다. 그래서 TSR을 구하기 위해 다양한 방법들이 소개되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 TSR을 쉽고 빠르게 구하기 위하여 복잡한 관계식을 리그레션을 이용하여 간단한 방정식으로 근사화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 Matlab/Simulink 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제대로 작동하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper introduces the design concepts and characteristics of WinDS3000$^{TM}$ which is a trade mark of Doosan's 3MW offshore/onshore wind turbine. WinDS3000$^{TM}$ has been designed in consideration of high RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Serviceability) and cost effectiveness for the TC Ia condition in GL guideline. An integrated drive train design with an innovative three-stage gearbox has been introduced to minimize nacelle weight of the wind turbine and to enhance a high reliability for transmission. A permanent magnet generator with full converter system has been introduced to get higher efficiency in part load operation, and grid friendliness use of 50 Hz and 60 Hz grid. A pitch regulated variable speed power control with individual pitch system has been introduced to regulate rotor torque while generator reaction torque can be adjusted almost instantaneously by the associated power electronics. An individual pitch control system has been introduced to reduce fatigue loads of blade and system. The wind turbine has been also equipped with condition monitoring and diagnostic systems in order to meet maintainability requirements. And internal maintenance crane in nacelle has been developed. As a result, the maintenance cost was dramatically reduced and maintenance convenience also enhanced in offshore condition.

녹색에너지의 모델링과 시뮬레이션은 연구하고자 하는 시스템의 형태에 따라 크게 의존한다. 모델링과 시뮬레이션의 주요내용은 반도체 물리(태양전지), 전기모터/발전기(풍력터빈), 전형적인 제어전략에 의한 전력전자(계통연계)등 매우 다양하다. 이들 기술들을 정확하게 모델링하는 것은 다양한 시뮬레이션 기술과 많은 모델들을 필요로 한다. 시뮬레이션을 더욱 정확하게 혹은 상세하게 하기 위해서 모델링은 특정레벨 즉, 시스템, 회로, 요소 레벨 등으로 수행하여야 한다. 다양한 레벨의 조합은 모델 방정식과 이용 가능한 매개변수들에 대한 전체적인 모델의 유용성을 크게 개선할 수 있다.

This paper presents a novel concept of wave energy converter for electric generation from the ocean wave energy. In this paper, a Multi-Point Absorbing Wave Energy Converter, shortened as MPAWEC by using Secondary Control Hydrostatic Transmission (SCHST) was proposed. The power take-off (PTO) system in the proposed MPAWEC includes multi heaving buoys to drive hydraulic pumps placed at different points. The application of SCHST in MPAWEC gives some advantages, such as longevity of hydraulic components; more energy is harvested; the variation of the pressure in the accumulator limited; therefore the accumulator volume is reduced and the output speed is more stable, etc. A PID controller was designed for speed control of the hydraulic motor. The simulation results indicated that the speed of the generator was ensured with the relative error as 0.67%; the efficiency of the proposed system was 71.4%.

It is essential to examine and analyze the power output and load responses together using real-world turbulent wind speeds. In this paper, the power controller and the drive train damper are simultaneously considered using the NREL 5MW wind turbine model, and the damage equivalent load(DEL) of the low speed shaft torque and power output responses according to the natural frequency of the second order low pass filter are simultaneously investigated. Numerical testing is carried out above rated wind speed using commercially available Bladed software. From the viewpoints of DEL reduction of the drive train shaft torque and power output responses, it is shown that the natural frequency of the low pass filter is appropriately about 6 to 10rad/s. And the reduction ratio of the DEL of the low-speed shaft torque decreases as the wind speed becomes higher, and it is confirmed that the reduction ratio is limited to about 20% at high wind speeds.

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.

전통적으로 전력시스템은 공급체계의 말단에 있는 소비자의 위치에서 보면 중앙집중화된 구조를 갖고 있다. 그러나 최근 수 십년간 지붕형 태양광, 영농형 태양광, 소형 풍력터빈, 배터리저장장치 및 스마트 가전품과 같은 분산에너지원의 등장을 보아왔다. 분산에너지원의 등장에 따라 배전계통 운전원의 역할도 확장된다. 확장된 분산전원의 진출은 배전망이나 송전망의 전통적인 계획과 운영에 영향을 주는 전력계통의 역조류와 예측성을 어렵게 할 수 있다. 이는 전형적인 계통계획, 정비 및 망관리, 정전할당 등 배전계통 운전원이 갖는 기능이 변경되어야 할 필요성을 증폭시킨다. 이 연구의 목적은 다중 분산전원을 갖는 미래 배전운전시스템을 설계하고 제안된 배전시스템 모델을 HILS로 구현 및 검증하는 것이다. 시험결과를 보면 제안된 배전시스템이 정상 영역에서 운전되고 배전선로 손실이 감소된다는 것을 보여준다.
