Foundation plays an important role in the offshore wind turbine system. Different from conventional foundations, the suction caisson is proven to be economical and reliable. In this work, three-dimensional finite element method is used to check the suitability of suction caisson foundation. NREL 5MW wind turbine is chosen as a baseline model in our simulation. The maximum overturning moment and vertical load at the mudline are calculated using FAST and Bladed. Meanwhile the soil-structure interaction response from our simulation is also compared with the experiment data from Oxford university. The design parameter such as caisson length, diameter of skirt and spacing of multipod are investigated. Accordingly based on these parameters suggestions are given to use suction caisson foundations more efficiently.

This study explores methods for modeling the foundation-seabed interaction needed for the load analysis of an offshore wind energy system. It comprises the comparison study of foundation design load analyses for NREL 5 MW turbine according to various soil-foundation interaction models by conducting the load analysis with GH-Bladed, analysis software for offshore wind energy systems. Furthermore, the results of the aforementioned load analysis were applied to foundation analysis software called L-Pile to conduct a safety review of the foundation cross-section design. Differences in the cross-section of a monopile foundation were observed based on the results of the fixed model, winkler spring and coupled spring models, and the analysis of design load cases, including DLC 1.3, DLC 6.1a, and DLC 6.2a. Consequently, under all design load conditions, the diameter and thickness of the monopile foundation cross-section were found to be 7 m and 80 mm, respectively, using the fixed and coupled spring models; the results of the analysis conducted using the winkler spring model showed that the diameter and thickness of the monopile foundation cross-section were 5 m and 60 mm, respectively. The study found that the soil-foundation interaction modeling method had a significant impact on the load analysis results, which determined the cross-section of a foundation. Based on this study, it is anticipated that designing an offshore wind energy system foundation taking the above impact into account would reduce the possibility of a conservative or unconservative design of the foundation.

본 연구의 목적은 SCADA 시스템을 이용하여 전력, 발전설비, 송유시설, 가스처리, 도로교통, 폐수처리 등 사회인프라 구조물에 대한 능동적 재난관리 및 방지 방법론을 개발하는 것이다. SCADA 시스템은 원격으로 제어기능을 수행하고, 운영 성능 분석 및 보고하기 위한 컴퓨팅 시스템이다. 여러 제작사의 이기종 설비 시스템들을 단일 SCADA 시스템에서 관리하기 위해서는 이기종간의 데이터 호환과 정보 수집의 일반화가 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 이를 XML 기반의 데이터 통신을 통해 해결하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 해상풍력발전 설비의 이기종간 데이터 일반화를 목표로 하였고, 나아가 발전 설비 외에도 이기종 단말의 데이터 동기화가 필요한 경우에 XML을 이용한 이기종 단말의 데이터 수집 방법론을 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

해양플랜트는 일반적으로 Offshore라고 일컫는 심해 자원을 생산하기 위한 산업 분야를 비롯하여, 해상 풍력 및 조류와 파랑을 이용한 에너지 자원 개발과 관련된 발전 설비 등 해상에 설치되는 모든 사회 기반 시설을 포함한다. 이러한 해양플랜트는 점차 고도화된 기술을 사용하여 미개척 해양 지대로 진출하게 되는데, 육상과 고립되어 해양 환경에 노출되어 있는 만큼 안정적인 시스템을 요구한다. 이는 곧 해양플랜트 설비 자체와 운영 인력들의 안전과도 직결되기 때문이다. 따라서 심해 및 정밀 위치 유지를 위한 DP(Dynamic Positioning) 시스템은 해양플랜트에 반드시 탑재되어야 하며, 운영 환경에 따라 차별화된 DP 시스템이 탑재되어야 한다. 또한 해양플랜트 핵심장비는 국가적인 차원에서 개발이 추진되어야 하며, DP 운영 인력도 체계적으로 양성할 수 있는 메커니즘을 구축해야한다.

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.

Recently wind turbines become large, constructed as farms and going out to offshore. Different design approach from onshore is needed for offshore wind turbine. At this paper concept and preliminary design of an offshore wind turbine of 3MW rated power are performed. The concept design started from modelling of the generator and gearbox. With these modelling the optimum specifications was acquired. Integrated type of drive train is designed with all parts are mounted on the tower top as the offshore maintenance strategy. At the preliminary stage control system, power production algorithm and safety system are designed. Load calculation is also performed. The 3MW offshore wind turbine concept/preliminary design and the process of design are obtained as results.

Carbon dioxide was designated as one of greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Among various ways to solve the $CO_2$ emission issue, the 3rd-generation biomass (algae) production is considered as a viable method to reduce $CO_2$ in the atmosphere. In this research, we propose a design of an innovative sustainable production system by utilizing the 3rd generation biomass in the environment of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO). Existing biomass production systems depend on the solar energy and they cannot continue producing biomass at night. Electricity produced from offshore wind farms also need an efficient way to store the energy through energy storage system (ESS) or deliver it real-time through power grid, both requiring heavy investment of capital. Thus, we design an offshore grid structure harnessing LED lights to supply the necessary light energy, by using the electricity produced from the wind farm, resulting in the maximized production of biomass and efficient use of wind farm energy. The final design integrates the biomass production system enhanced by LED lights with a wind power generation. The suggested NLP model for the optimal design, implemented in GAMS, would be useful for designing improved offshore biomass production systems combined with the wind farm.

Large offshore wind farms using high voltage direct current transmission system (HVDC) have been considered and exploited in many countries in the world. The maintenance of the stable operation of wind farm and interconnected system is an important issue, especially in the case of fault. To ensure the stable operation after fault clearance, the PCC voltage must be restored as soon as possible and meet the grid code requirement. This paper will evaluate the PCC voltage recovery ability of a large offshore wind farm as it is connected to a weak grid via a VSC-HVDC.

The image information acquired by a model submarine is transmitted through the repeater. The control signal of a position for submarine and its speed is also controlled by the repeater. Shooting images of underwater circumstances are transmitted to the repeater where the received signal controls a position and speed of underwater submarine. This repeater is combined by a buoy that is floating on the surface to relay the signal of image as well as control between a control unit and a submarine whereas the repeater communicates wirelessly with a control unit. Due to wire communication between the repeater and the submarine, the underwater exploration can be smoothly carried out without a risk of loss of a model submarine. Also, connecting to the repeater and control unit wirelessly makes it possible to conduct easily the underwater exploration. The convergence technology that combines a wireless communication and a control as well as a model submarine is designed.
