Offshore wind power is increasingly regarded as a viable solution for reducing greenhous emissions due to the construction of wind farms and their superior power generation efficiency. Submarine power cables play a crucial role in transmitting the electricity generated offshore to land. To monitor cables and identify points of failure, analyzing the location or depth of burial of submarine cables is necessary. This study reviewed the technology and research for detecting submarine power cables, which were categorized into seismic/acoustic, electromagnetic, and magnetic exploration. Seismic/acoustic waves are primarily used for detecting submarine power cables by installing equipment on ships. Electromagnetic and magnetic exploration detects cables by installing equipment on unmanned underwater vehicles, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) and remotely operated vihicles (ROV). This study serves as a foundational resource in the field of submarine power cable detection.

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.

Predictions of wind speed for six different near-shore sites were made using the NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) wind data. The distances between the NCAR sites and prediction sites were varied between 40km and 150km. A well-known wind energy prediction program, WindPRO, was used. The prediction results were compared with the measured data from the AWS(Automated Weather Stations). Although the NCAR wind data were located far away from the AWS sites, the prediction errors were within 9% for all the cases. In terms of sector-wise wind energy distributions, the predictions were fairly close to the measurements, and the error in predicting main wind direction was less than $30^{\circ}$. This proves that the NCAR wind data are very useful in roughly estimating wind energy in offshore or near-shore sites where offshore wind farm might be constructed in Korea.

해양에너지는 자원량이 무한하고 무공해이기 때문에 미래의 중요한 대체에너지의 하나로 그 역할이 기대되고 있다. 세계적으로 파력, 조력, 해류, 해상풍력 등의 신재생에너지 이용 방안이 지속적으로 연구개발 되고 있다. 이중 파력은 모든 해역에 폭넓게 분포하므로 가용 에너지원이 풍부하고 설치 해역 또한 광범위하여 우리나라의 연안 해역에 대규모로 활용이 가능하다. 본 연구는 이와같은 파랑에너지를 이용하여 전기로 변환하는 파력 발전용 횡류형터빈의 개발을 하고자 한다.

풍력터빈에서 전력생산량은 속도의 세제곱에 따라 바람의 속도에 크게 영향 받는다. 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 제공하는 새만금 인근 해안의 2005부터 2007년까지의 AWS(지역별 관측자료)와 해양에서 떨어진 새만금 서해의 2000년부터 2009년까지 QuikSCAT위성 데이터를 이용하여 속도에 따른 확률 밀도 분포를 획득하였다. 측정된 관측 데이터는 80m 높이에서의 보정 자료를 근거로 하였으며, IEC 61400-12와 13을 근거로 실증단지 적합성에 대한 분석을 하였다.

The global energy paradigm is rapidly changing by centering on carbon neutrality, and wind energy is positioning itself as a leader in renewable energy-based power sources. The success of onshore and offshore wind energy projects focuses on securing the economic feasibility of the project, which depends on securing high-quality wind resources and optimal arrangement of wind turbines. In the process of constructing the wind farm, the optimal arrangement method of wind turbines considering the main wind direction is important, and this is related to minimizing the wake effect caused by the fluid passing through the structure located on the windward side. The accuracy of the predictability of the wake effect is determined by the wake model and modeling technique that can properly simulate it. Therefore, in this paper, using WindSim, a commercial CFD model, the wake diffusion pattern is analyzed through the sensitivity study of each wake model of the proposed onshore wind farm located in the mountainous complex terrain in South Korea, and it is intended to be used as basic research data for wind energy projects in complex terrain in the future.

The investigation on reliability of ERA-Interim reanalysis wind data was conducted using wind data from the five met masts measured at inland and coastal areas, Jeju island. Shinchang, Handong, Udo, Susan and Cheongsoo sites were chosen for the met mast location. ERA-Interim reanalysis data at onshore and offshore twenty points over Jeju Island were analyzed for creating Wind Statistics using WindPRO software. Reliability of ERA-Interim reanalysis wind data was assessed by comparing the statistics from the met mast wind data with those predicted at the interest point using the Wind Statistics. The relative errors were calculated for annual average wind speed and annual energy production. In addition, the trend of the error was analyzed with distance from met mast. As a result, ERA-Interim reanalysis wind data was more suitable for offshore wind resource assessment than onshore.

To establish an offshore wind turbine test site, a wind resource assessment of the candidate site is required as a preliminary procedure. The wind resource assessment must be performed with at least one year of wind data. If the assessment is performed with short-term wind data, the results cannot validate the wind conditions of the candidate site. This study performs wind resource assessment of Kokunsangun-do to investigate the wind conditions of the candidate site. The wind data is measured by the Automatic Weather System (AWS) of the Korea Meteorological Administration, located at Maldo. The data is for five years, measured from 2013 to 2017. Measured wind data is statistically processed with a 10-minute average scheme to find out the dominant wind direction and wind power density, with yearly wind speed distribution (Weibull-based). This study contributes to build a database of wind energy resources around Maldo. Also, the results of this study could be used for the establishment of an offshore wind turbine test site.

Offshore remote-sensing wind extraction using SAR satellite image is an emerging and promising technology for offshore wind resource assessment. We compared our numerical weather prediction and offshore wind extraction from ENVISAT images around Korea offshore areas. A few comparison sets showed good agreement but more comparisons are required to draw application guideline on a statistical basis.

Commercial wind farm design tools and the national wind map are used to determine the implementation potential of offshore wind power in Korea in this study. For this, the territorial waters of Korea were divided into nine analysis regions and a commercial CFD code was used to obtain wind resource maps at 100m A.S.L. which is the hub height of a 5MW wind turbine used in this study. With the wind resource obtained, factors including water depth, distance from substations, minimum and maximum capacity of a wind farm, distance between turbines and wind farms were considered to determine wind power potential. Also, the conservation areas, military zones, ports, fishing grounds, etc. were considered and excluded. As the result, a total capacity of 6,720 MW was found to be the implementation potential and this corresponds to $3.38MW/km^2$ in API. Also if the distance from the substation is not considered, the potential increased to be 10,040 MW. This offshore wind farm potential is considered enough to satisfy the target of wind farm capacities in the 7th national plan for electricity demand and supply.
