High-speed shaft coupling in a wind power system transmits power and absorbs variations in length and spindle dislocation between the gearbox and generator. Furthermore, the coupling has an insulation function that prevents electrical corrosion caused by the flow of the generator's current into the gearbox and prevents overload resulting from sudden power failure from being transferred to the gearbox. Its design, functions, and part verification are described in the IEC61400 and GL Guidelines, which specify that the part must have a durability life of 20 years or longer under distance variation and axial misalignment between the gearbox and the generator. This study presents the design of a high-speed coupling through composite stiffness calculation, structural analysis, and comparative analysis of test and theory to identify the characteristics of high-speed coupling for a large-capacity 6 MW wind power generator. A prototype was fabricated by optimizing the manufacturing process for each part based on the design, and the reliability of the fabricated prototype was verified by evaluating the performance of the target quantitative evaluation items.

본 연구에서는 MW 용량의 풍력터빈 블레이드용 에어포일의 설계 단계에서 성능 검증기법에 대한 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 5~10 MW 해상풍력터빈용으로 설계된 21%와 30% 두께비의 에어포일을 사용하여 풍동시험을 수행하였으며, 레이놀즈 수 $1.0{\times}10^7$ 조건에서의 XFOIL의 해석결과와 상호 비교하였다. 풍동시험은 자유흐름 속도 50 m/s, 시위 기준 레이놀즈 수는 $2.2{\times}10^6$에서 수행되었으며, 표면거칠기 효과는 지그재그 테이프를 사용하여 모사하였다. 비교 결과 풍동시험과 XFOIL 해석에는 차이를 보이지만, 풍동시험을 통해 받음각 변화에 따른 에어포일 표면에서의 압력분포 변화와 기본적인 공력 성능 및 표면거칠기 효과를 확인 할 수 있었다. XFOIL은 설계조건에서 기본적인 양항비와 표면거칠기 효과에 의한 양항비 변화 등을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Developing the offshore wind farm is essential to meet the national target of the renewable energy and to achieve the green growth in Korea. In this context, KEPRI is now carrying the feasibility study for introducing the offshore wind fam in Korea. Accordingly, it is required to formulate an appropriate strategy, this paper mainly discuss, for this goal. First of all, several preliminary sites for the offshore wind farm are selected based on the evaluation criteria presented herein. In addition, the domestic sub-technological level of key technology sectors associated with the offshore wind power is analyzed. It includes the industries related to wind turbine, grid integration, structural design and construction. Integrating these results, we propose a strategy in order to successfully develop the first offshore wind farm more than 100-MW class in the south-western sea area of Korea.
