Recently, it has been a worldwide issue to develop offshore wind farm based on the past technical experiences of onshore wind turbine installation. In Korea, the government has the wind-energy to be a new-sustainable field of development to bring green-growth in near future and put political and fiscal efforts to support the academic and industrial technical development. Especially, there are much advancement for the fields of turbine, blade, bearing, grid connection, ETC. Correspondingly, technical needs do exist for the offshore foundation installation techniques in geotechnical point of view. Within few years, 2~5MW offshore wind turbines will be constructed at about 30m water depth and it is known that monopiles of D=4~6m are suitable types of foundation. In order to construct offshore wind-turbine foundation, technical developments for drilling machine, design manual, monitoring&maintenance technique are required. This paper presents technical issues with related to offshore wind farm and large diameter monopile in the point of renewable energy development.

In this paper, we analysed vessel traffic volume and patterns of traffic flow for ships using areas where included wind farm site and adjacent waters of Daejeong Offshore Wind Farm, and estimated traffic volume by classified navigational routes according to suggestion of rational routeing measures on the basis of classified patterns after installation of offshore wind facilities. Also, we assessed vessel traffic safety for each designed routeing measures on the basis of estimated traffic volume and proposed requisite countermeasures for the safe navigation of ships. With a result of analysing patterns of traffic flow, the current traffic flow was classified by 8 patterns and the annual traffic volume was predicted to 8,975 ships. On the basis of these, expected the vessel traffic volume according to designed four routeing mesaures after installation of wind farm. As result of assessing vessel traffic safety by using powered-vessel collision model of SSPA on the basis of the estimated traffic volume, the value of collision probability was less than safe criteria $10^{-4}$. Thereby we made sure usability of the designed routeing measures for the safe navigation of ships.

계통에서 사고가 발생하면 기존에는 풍력발전기의 보호를 위하여 계통에서 분리가 가능했다. 하지만, 최근에 풍력발전용 기기 한기당 용량 증가와 해상풍력의 증가로 인하여 계통으로 공급하는 풍력발전량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있기 때문에 사고발생에 따른 풍력발전의 계통과의 갑작스러운 분리는 계통의 정전사태를 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서 전 세계적으로 풍력발전의 계통연계규정(Grid Code)를 강화하고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 계통연계규정 중 계통전압이 순간적으로 강하하였다고 하더라도 풍력발전기는 지속적으로 연계되어 있으면서 계통전압의 보상을 위하여 무효전력을 공급을 요구하고 있다. 이 기능이 저전압 극복(LVRT)기능이고 계통연계규정 중 가장 어려운 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 2MW급 이중여자 유도형 풍력발전기(DFIG)를 이용하여 계통에서 저전압이 발생했을 때 발전기를 지속적으로 계통과 연계시키면서 무효 전력을 계통에 공급할 수 있는 LVRT기능을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 검증한다.

The selection of a site where strong wind blows is important to increase effectively the electricity of wind power in proportion to the cube of the wind speed. It is advisable to establish the wind turbine in the coastal area with strong wind speed rather than in the inland. And the development of offshore wind energy is expected to solve the noise problem that is one of the important weaknesses in the wind turbine. In the process of the development business of wind energy, knowing forehead the wind power possibility in any area is one of the essential factors to choose the most optimum site of wind power. In this paper, the potential of wind power around JeJu coastal area is examined by using the wind data that Korea Meteorological Administration has surveyed for 10 years in 14 observation points. Wind speed data is revised to wind speed in 80 meters assuming installation height of the wind turbine, and wind power density and annual wind energy are also calculated. And annual electricity generation and percent of energy efficiency in all the observation points are estimated by using the information about 3,000 KW wind turbine.

Recently, construction sites of offshore wind power tend to move from shallow water to deep water. From this tendency, the research on the support structure of offshore wind power in deep water will be a key issue. In this study, precast concrete block and suction pile are applied to existing jacket structure. In order to reduce the vibration of this structure, the tuned liquid damper is also applied in the precast concrete block. The applicability of the suggested jacket structure is evaluated by finite element analysis. And the vibration tends to decrease about 5%, when the tuned liquid damper is applied.

The installation cost or the magnitude of the fault current varies depending on the grid connection method of the offshore wind farm. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient power grid connection method considering the capacity and location of the complex. In particular, most power cables in offshore wind farms use 3-core considering cost and efficiency. In the event of a failure such as a short circuit, the entire cable must be replaced, which can lead to significant losses in terms of cost, considering repair costs and turbine downtime. Therefore, in this paper, a radial, ring, and molding method is introduced into a 100 MW wind farm to be installed at Jeju offshore, and a three-phase short circuit failure is performed using a PSCAD/EMTDC program to perform computer analysis. I would like to propose a suitable power grid connection method.

In the situation where expectations for the growth potential of the domestic offshore wind market are increasing due to the bright growth prospect of the global offshore wind market and the motivated plan of the Korean government, domestic and foreign literature on the direction of offshore wind power generation are examined for the successful development of domestic offshore wind power, the introduction of offshore wind power is diagnosed, and improvement plans are presented for the wind power-related system being promoted by the government. In addition, practical support measures are suggested to foster related SMEs. The results of the study are as follows. First, as technology development is mainly focused on large corporations, the development capacity of small and medium manufacturing industry is very low. Therefore, it is necessary to establish and operate a core center led by government agencies to provide technical support with the initiative of national research institutes and large corporations, and universities and national research institutes should strengthen the independence of small and medium-sized enterprises through training and research and development of professional manpower. Second, as a result of the survey on the practical support plan of the company, it was found that there is a need for various support for technology development and commercialization of produced parts.

북한은 자급자족의 형태로 지하자원과 수력을 이용하여 에너지원으로 사용하고 수입연료를 자제하는 실정이다. 하지만 기존의 발전 설비들의 노후화와 지하자원의 확보의 어려움이 증가 되어 신재생에너지의 개발을 확대하고 있다. 이에 우리나라에서는 남북의 기술교류 확대 및 미래 에너지 자원의 확보를 위하여 북한 자원자원에 대한 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 기존의 연구에서는 북한지역의 관측값을 활용하거나 저해상도의 바람지도들이 작성되었다. 북한 지역의 바람의 분포를 세밀히 파악하기 위하여 기존의 바람지도 보다 상세한 풍력-기상자원지도가 필요하기 때문에 연구를 진행하였다. 북한의 풍력-기상자원지도를 개발하기 위해 미국 NCAR에서 개발한 중규모 모형인 WRF(Weather Research & Forcasting)을 활용하였다. 좋은 풍력자원을 갖춘 장소에 풍력 단지를 조성하기 위해서는 고해상도의 기상자원지도를 이용해서 파악하는 것이 필요하므로 해상도를 1km으로 설정하여 수행되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 지상 80 m에서의 1km 해상도를 갖는 풍력-기상자원지도를 작성하였다. 개발된 풍력-기상자원지도의 검증을 위해서 우리나라에서 확보가 가능한 북한 27개 지점의 지상 10 m 바람자료들을 활용하였다. 풍속에 대한 검증은 Bias와 RMSE을 이용하였으며, 풍향의 검증은 MAE을 활용하였다. 연 평균의 북한의 풍력-기상자원지도를 보면, 북한의 산맥을 중심으로 다른 지역보다 높은 풍속 분포를 보이고 있으며, 황해도를 포함한 북한의 서해안지역에서 비교적 높은 풍속의 분포를 나타내고 있다. 계절별로 살펴보면 봄철과 겨울철에 여름과 가을철보다 높은 풍력자원이 나타나며, 여름철이 가장 낮은 풍력자원을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, wind data at 20 locations are collected and analyzed in order to review optimal candidate site for offshore wind farm around Korean marginal seas. Observed wind data is fitted to Rayleigh and Weibull distribution and annual energy production is estimated according to wind frequency. As the model of wind turbine generator, seven kinds of output of 1.5~5 MW were selected and their performance curves were used. As a result, Repower-5 MW turbines showed high energy production at wind speeds of 7.15 m/s or higher, but G128-4.5 MW turbines were found to be favorable at lower wind speeds. In the case of Marado, Geojedo and Pohang, where the rate of occurrence of wind speeds over 10 m/s was high, the capacity factor of REpower's 5 MW offshore wind turbine was 56.49%, 50.92% and 50.08%, respectively.
