The horizontal force transfer to the turbine and substructure of a wind power generation system is a very important factor in maintaining the safety of the system, but it is inevitably vulnerable to large-scale coastal disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons. Wind power generation systems built on the coast or far offshore are very disadvantageous in terms of economic feasibility due to an increase in initial investment cost because a more robust design is required when installed in areas vulnerable to coastal disasters. In this study, the GIS method was used to select the optimal site for a wind farm from the viewpoint of reducing the risk of coastal disasters. The current status of earthquakes in the West and South Seas of Korea, and the path and intensity of typhoons affecting or passing through the West and South Seas were also analyzed. Accordingly, the optimal offshore wind farm site with the lowest risk of coastal disasters has been selected and will be used as basic research data for offshore wind power projects in the region in the future.

현재 국내에서 운용중인 풍력발전시스템은 국내 풍력자원에 대한 정확한 정보의 부재와 국내 풍황에 맞지 않는 국외 모델을 그대로 운용하는 등의 몇 가지 문제를 드러내었다. 본 연구의 목적은 국내 연안의 해상에서 한국형 해상풍력터빈을 설치하기 위한 잠재적 최적위치와 풍황자료 산출 최적화 알고리즘을 구현하는 것이다. 최적화 알고리즘은 얕은 수심 분포와 연안에서의 거리를 제약조건으로 하고 최대 에너지밀도를 가진 지점을 구하는 것으로 정식화하였다. 풍황자료 산출을 위해서 국내 연안의 해상 풍황자료를 포함하는 기상풍황자료를 통계적 모델로 분석하여 바람지도를 작성하였다. 이 바람지도를 이용하여 지질 통계학 분야의 관측기법인 크리깅 모델을 구성하고, 전역최적화기법인 유전자알고리즘을 이용하여 제약조건을 만족하는 최대에너지밀도값과 그 위치를 도출하였다. 수치최적화 결과 우리나라 풍력 자원의 대략적인 잠재량과 현황파악이 가능하였고, 해상풍력발전단지가 조성 가능한 개략적인 위치를 예측할 수 있었다.

In this study, an arrangement design process for multiple wind turbines, placed on the 10MW class floating wave-offshore wind hybrid power generation system, was presented, and the aerodynamic performance was evaluated by using a computational fluid dynamics. An arrangement design, which produces a maximum power in the site wind field, was found by using a commercial program, WindPRO, based on a blade element momentum theory, then the effect of wake interference on the system between multiple wind turbines was studied and evaluated by using ANSYS CFX.

최근 풍력에너지 발전기술이 해상 풍력 및 대형 풍력으로 천이되어 감에 따라 더 향상된 신뢰성 기술을 요구하고 있고, 풍력 블레이드는 풍력발전시스템에서 고장 빈도가 비교적 낮지 않고, 고장 발생 시 심각도가 상대적으로 높아 신뢰성을 고려해야 하는 부품이다. 블레이드 제작 생산 과정과 사용 중에 발생하는 손상 및 결함은 신뢰성의 심각성에 큰 영향을 미치고 있어 본 기술에서는 블레이드에서 발생할 수 있는 결함 유형, 결함을 탐지하는 기술 그리고 신뢰성을 평가하는 시험/평가 기술에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

This study aims at dedicating to relevant technology fields by suggesting design methods of structures and estimating their safety in relation to substructure for offshore wind power requiring high safety to various environment conditions. Especially, with respect to 5MW Offshore Wind Power System, this study will provide information about major wind directions and duration in combination with the developing wave climate at the test field. Therefore, connections between wind fields and approaching wave trains will be estimated and their intensity, direction and time shift will be pointed out. Furthermore, the local pressure distribution of breaking waves will be investigated by physical and numerical modeling. The currently applied structural and fatigue assessment of support structures for offshore wind energy converters is based on common design rules. Normally, constructions in structural engineering are treated as limited, single structures. This means that varying aspects of manufacturing are considered by high safety factors.

Recently renewable energy such as offshore wind energy takes a higher interest due to the depletion of fossil fuel and the environmental pollution. This paper deals with multi-body dynamics (MBD) analysis technique for offshore wind turbine system considering aerodynamic loads and Thevenin equation used for determination of electric generator torque. Dynamic responses of 5MW offshore wind turbine system are evaluated via the MBD analysis, and the system is the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) which generates electricity from the three blades horizontally installed at upwind direction. The aerodynamic loads acting on the blades are computed by AeroDyn code, which is capable of accommodating a generalized dynamic wake using blade element momentum (BEM) theory. In order that the characteristics of dynamic loads and torques on the main joint parts of offshore wind turbine system are simulated similarly such an actual system, flexible body modeling including the actual structural properties are applied for both blade and tower in the multi-body dynamics model.

In this study, research and empirical cases of floating offshore wind turbine systems with a tension-leg platform are investigated, and hydrodynamic and structural characteristics according to platform shapes and characteristics during transportation and installation are confirmed. Most platforms are composed of pontoons or corner columns, and these are mainly located below the waterline to minimize the impact of breaking waves and supplement the lack of buoyancy of the center column. These pontoons and corner columns are designed with a simple shape to reduce manufacturing and assembly costs, and some platforms additionally have reinforcements such as braces to improve structural strength. Most of the systems are assembled in the yard and then moved by tugboat and installed, and some platforms have been developed with a dedicated barge for simultaneous assembly, transportation and installation. In this study, we intend to secure the basic data necessary for the design, transportation, and installation procedures of floating offshore wind turbine systems with a tension-leg platform.

This paper presents the general results of the conceptual design of a 3MW class offshore wind turbine named WinDS 3000 under development. In WinDS 3000, an integrated drive train design, three stage gearbox and permanent magnet generator (PMG) with fully rated converters have been introduced. A pitch regulated variable speed power control with individual pitch control has been adopted to regulate rotor torque while generator reaction torque can be adjusted almost instantaneously by the associated power electronics. Through the introduction of WinDS 3000, it is expected that helpful to understanding of the development status of 3MW offshore wind turbine.
