Developing the offshore wind farm is essential to meet the national target of the renewable energy and to achieve the green growth in Korea. In this context, KEPRI is now carrying the feasibility study for introducing the offshore wind fam in Korea. Accordingly, it is required to formulate an appropriate strategy, this paper mainly discuss, for this goal. First of all, several preliminary sites for the offshore wind farm are selected based on the evaluation criteria presented herein. In addition, the domestic sub-technological level of key technology sectors associated with the offshore wind power is analyzed. It includes the industries related to wind turbine, grid integration, structural design and construction. Integrating these results, we propose a strategy in order to successfully develop the first offshore wind farm more than 100-MW class in the south-western sea area of Korea.

In order to improve the accessibility to the island through marine leisure ships, it is necessary to evaluate objective business feasibility of the ship's operation. In this study, costs and income were estimated based on the operating expenses and freight standards of similar marine leisure ships in operation, and based on this, the feasibility of the project was empirically analyzed through B/C analysis, NPV, and IRR. In addition, sensitivity analysis was performed for various variables to understand the requirements for securing minimum economic feasibility. As a result of the study, in case of new building ship, the B/C ratio was estimated to be 1.042, NPV was estimated to be KRW 1.93 billion, and IRR was estimated to be 2.1% which means that profitability was secured.

This study aims to present the characteristics of marine physics, water quality, and sediment quality around offshore wind farm near the Gochang and Buan sea areas through the analysis of monitoring data. The relationships between suspended solid and wave height as well as suspended solid and flow velocity were analyzed. We found that Correlation Coefficient values of 0.61~0.69 between wave height and suspended solid, and suspended solid concentration reaches 75 mg/L or higher when wave height of more than 1m occurred in the spring (1 month). The water quality index (WQI) was used to identify the status of the water quality in the study area. Most of the measured points were rated first grade (very good). The variation of chlorophyll-a was relatively hight compared to the other criteria, indicating that it is a major factor affecting the quality index. In the sediment column, all heavy metals were detected below the Threshold Effects Level(TEL), and ignition loss and grain size show a positive correlation.

The International Maritime Organization is establishing international agreements on maritime safety and security to prepare for the introduction of autonomous ships. In Korea, the industry is focusing on autonomous navigation system technology development, and to reduce accidents involving coastal ships, research on autonomous ship technology application plans for coastal ships is in progress. Interest in autonomously operated ships is increasing worldwide, and maritime demonstrations for verification of developed technologies are being pursued. In this study, a basic investigation was conducted on the design of a demonstration ship and an onshore platform (remote support center) using digital twin technology for application to coastal ships. To apply digital twin technology, an 8-m small battery-powered electric propulsion ship was selected as the target. The basic design of the twin-integrated platform was developed. The ship navigation and operation data were stored on a server system, and remote-control commands of the electric propulsion ship was achieved through communication between the ship and the onshore platform. Ship performance management, operation and operation optimization, and predictive control are possible using this digital twin technology. This safe and economical digital twin technology is applicable to ships responding to crisis scenarios.

The use of ultra-high-resolution (UHR) seismic surveys to preceisly characterize coastal and shallow structures have increased recently. UHR surveys derive a spatial resolution of 3.125 m using a high-frequency source (80 Hz to 1 kHz). A digital streamer system is an essential module for acquiring high-quality UHR seismic data. Localization studies have focused on reducing purchase costs and decreasing maintenance periods. Basic performance verification and application tests of the developed streamer have been successfully carried out; however, a comparative analysis with the existing benchmark model was not conducted. In this study, we characterized data obtained by using a developed streamer and a benchmark model simultaneously. Tamhae 2 and auxiliary equipment of the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources were used to acquire 2D seismic data, which were analyzed from different perspectives. The data obtained using the developed streamer differed in sensitivity from that obtained using benchmark model by frequency band.However, both type of data had a very high level of similarity in the range corresponding to the central frequency band of the seismic source. However, in the low frequency band below 60 Hz, data obtained using the developed streamer showed a lower signal-to-noise ratio than that obtained using the benchmark model.This lower ratio can hinder the quality in data acquisition using low-frequency sound sources such as cluster air guns. Three causes for this difference were, and streamers developed in future will attempt to reflect on these improvements.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 호우의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 도시지역의 호우는 돌발적이고 국지적인 특성을 가지고 있어 인명과 재산피해 역시 증가하고 있으며, 급격한 도시화로 인한 구조적으로 홍수에 취약한 실정이다. 국지성 도시호우는 저층(1 km 내외)에서 형성되는 강우가 지배적이며, 기존의 대형레이더는 높은 산 정상에 설치되어 1.5 km 이상의 강우관측을 중심으로 운영됨에 따라 저층강우의 탐지 및 변동성 관측에 취약하여, 이에 대형 레이더에서 뿐만 아니라 도시단위의 국지성 호우관측에 대응할 수 있는 소형 레이더 기반 고정밀 강우관측 마련 및 운영 기술이 필요하다. 현재 K-water는 부산 에코델타 스마트시티에 도시 물재해 플랫폼 구현의 일환으로 돌발강우사전 탐지 및 도시의 신속·정확한 강우 관측을 위하여 높은 시공간 해상도를 제공하는 이중편파X 밴드 소형 강우레이더를 설치하고, 효율적 운용을 위해 각 고도각에서의 빔 차폐율을 확인하고 이를 고려한 최적 관측전략을 수립하였다. 또한 Z-Phi 방법을 이용한 반사도 감쇠 보정 기술을 개발하였으며, 강우 추정을 위해 하이브리드 고도면 합성 기법(HSR) 기법을 적용하고 검증하였다. 이후 소형 레이더의 정량적 추정강수를 이용하여 강우예측 정보를 생산하기 위해 이류모델을 적용하고, 비슬산과 소형 합성 레이더 추정강수로 선행 10분에서 180분까지 예측할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 또한, 지상강우관측 자료와의 정확도 비교 평가를 수행하고, 행정구역 및 표준유역의 예측 평균강우량을 생산하여 부산 에코델타 스마트시티 도시 물재해 통합관리 시스템과 연계운영을 위한 후속 과업을 수행중에 있다.

In this study, we proposed a standard model for the design, construction and demonstration of the technology development and substantiation of small hydrogen powered vessel in order to respond to the alternative fuel-using vessel market that requires the use of low-carbon/carbon-free fuel as a greenhouse gas reduction measure. The hydrogen fuel cell-based electric propulsion system developed through this is optimized through performance and durability tests on the land-based test site (LBTS), and the electric propulsion system applied to this result is mounted on a small hydrogen propulsion vessel and operated. Simultaneously, through the digital twin technology between the LBTS and the hydrogen-propelled vessel on the sea, the technology that can predict and diagnose the problems that can occur in the electric propulsion system of the vessel is applied to carry out the empirical study of the hydrogen-propelled vessel. In addition, we propose a commercialization model by analyzing the economic feasibility of the demonstration vessel.

제주도는 내륙과 EJfdjwu 있는 섬으로 독특한 계통 특성을 가지고 있다. HVDC는 제주 계통을 내륙 계통과 연계시켜 안정적인 전력 공급과 주파수 유지를 담당하고 있다. 현 제주-해남 사이의 이외에 추가로 제주-진도 사이의 2단계 HVDC가 2011년 12월 완공을 목표로 건설되고 있다. 1단계 HVDC와 풍부한 바람 자원을 이용한 풍력 발전 단지가 운영 중이고, 해안 풍력 발전 단지 뿐만 아니라 해상 풍력 발전단지도 건설될 예정이다. 또한 스마트그리드 실증단지가 제주도에 건설될 예정이기 때문에 향후 풍력 발전량이 더욱 증가할 전망이다. 2013년 이후부터는 추가 건설될 2단계 HVDC와 현재 운영되고 있는 1단계 HVDC가 협조 운전을 하게 된다. 풍력 발전 단지의 증가와 추가 HVDC는 제주 계통의 전원 구성에 변화가 예상된다.
