In this paper, the various parametric study of collisions between a offshore wind tower and vessels were performed to estimate the ultimate behaviors of the bucket foundation and the tower. Additionally, the stability of the foundation and the energy dissipation capacities of the tower were analyzed. The results shows that the collision energy of the vessel was mainly dissipated by the plastic deformation energy of the tower and the foundation system shown enough bearing capacity against to this severe loading condition.

본 논문은 해양공간계획법에 근거한 해양에서의 다양한 용도 경합이 예상되는 울산 부유식 해상풍력발전단지 조성사업에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다. 해양공간계획법에 따르면 다양한 용도가 중첩되는 경우, 자연환경, 사회경제적 여건 및 주변 해역의 이용 및 보전 현황 등을 고려하여 관리의 우선순위를 정해야 한다. 이에, 해상풍력발전단지 설립에 따른 해양환경 및 천연자원 영향성 평가의 경제적 피해액을 추정한다. 이는 해양공간계획 시, 용도지정 우선순위를 정할 때 객관적 자료가 될 수 있고, 나아가 효율적인 풍력발전단지 운영을 위한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

The present paper considers the conceptual design of floating wave-offshore wind hybrid power generation system. The worldwide demand for ocean renewable energy is increasing rapidly. Wave and offshore wind energy have been attractive among the various ocean renewable energy sources, and the site to generate electricity from wave and offshore wind accords well together. This means that a hybrid power generation system, which uses wave and offshore wind energy simultaneously has many advantages and several systems have been already developed in Western Europe. A R&D project for a 10 MW class floating wave-offshore wind hybrid power generation system has been also launched in Korea. A semi-submersible platform, which has four vertical columns at each corner of the platform to be connected with horizontal pontoons, was designed for this system considering arrangements of multiple wind turbines and wave energy converters. A mooring system and power cable were also designed based on the metocean data of installation site. In the present paper, those results are presented, and the difficulties and design method in the design of hybrid power generation system are presented.

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 order to understand the economic feasibility of an offshore wind farm, this paper analyzed the differences in LCOE (levelized cost of energy) according to the support type and construction method of the substructure in terms of LCOE and sensitivity analysis was conducted according to the main components of LCOE. As for the site to be studied, the Southwest Offshore Wind Farm was selected, and the capital expenditures were calculated according to the size of the offshore wind farm and the installation unit. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, major components showed high sensitivity to availability, turbine related cost, weighted average cost of capital and balance of system related cost. Moreover, the post-piling jacket method, which was representatively applied to the substructure of the offshore wind farm in Korea, was selected as a basic plan to calculate the capital expenditures, and then the capital expenditures of the pre-piling jacket method and the tripod method were calculated and compared. As a result of analyzing the LCOE, it was confirmed that the pre-piling jacket method of the supporting structure lowers the LCOE and improves economic feasibility as the installation number of turbines increases.

풍력발전기의 수요가 유럽에서 북미, 아시아로 확대되고 있으며, 육상 풍력발전에 비해 대형 발전기 설치에 공간적 제약이 없는 해상 풍력발전이 선진국들에 의해 채택되고 있고 발전기의 대형화(Repowering)를 통한 에너지효율 증대, 단위 용량당 건설비 감소 등의 유리한 점 때문에 풍력발전기가 대형화되는 추세이다.

In this study, the resonant motion of a floating offshore wind system due to negative damping was mitigated by peak shaving algorithms of the NREL ROSCO controller, and the decreased gains of the blade pitch controller by the gain detuning method for the floating system was increased to the gains of onshore baseline controller to improve the power performance of the turbine. To check the performance of the controller, the dynamic responses between the existing gain-detuned pitch controller and the ROSCO controller with peak shaving control for an OC4 floating offshore wind system were compared. As a result of DLC1.1 at near-rated wind speed, when peak shaving was applied, the average generator power decreased by 1.9%, but it was confirmed that the standard deviation was reduced and stability was improved with fast pitch regulation. In addition, since peak shaving reduces the maximum thrust of the rotor, was confirmed that not only are the loads of the blades and tower reduced, but the surge motion of the floater is also reduced, and the tension of the mooring lines is reduced.

As we are facing the shortage of oil energy, studies on renewable energy, wind energy research has been naturally getting attention. Among wind energies, ocean wind energy is relatively abundant compared to land wind energy and therefore, is getting much attention in terms of its efficiency. However, the problem is the cost. Generally, the cost ratio of the supporting structure is over 25% of the total installation cost of a offshore wind turbine system. Thus, it is very important to reduce the total installation cost of the offshore wind turbine and develop accurate analysis methodology for various offshore wind turbine foundations. In this study, nonlinear structure-soil interaction analyses have been proposed and conducted for the typical suction bucket model of an offshore wind turbine foundation, and the results were compared with experimental test data for numerical validations.

Globally, several countries with sea are using eco-friendly energy resources through offshore wind power development by overcoming the weak point of the existing power generation method. The sea has the advantage of being able to develop large scale wind farms in wide waters, but the installation of marine structures threatens the safe operation of vessels. Accordingly, a standard guideline for safe navigation by analyzing the mutual effects between ship routes and offshore wind site was presented by the PIANC. Nonetheless, the standard guideline calculated the same safe distance in all situations. Therefore, this study developed a calculation model for an optimal safe distance between ship routes and offshore wind sites by reflecting the ship's maneuvering, encounter situations, environmental force, traffic density, offshore wind power generators, and channel types. As a result of the validation simulation, the developed model showed that the optimal safe distance was secured.
