본 논문은 경기도 안산시에 속한 풍도 인근 해역에 조류발전 단지를 조성하기 위해 유속의 분포 및 조류 발전량을 검토하고, 풍도 조류발전의 타당성을 분석한 것이다. 조류발전에 있어 핵심요소인 유속 분포는 실제 유속 분포자료를 조사하여 연간 조류 발전량을 구하였다. 조류발전 시설의 초기투자비 및 유지 관리 비용은 국내 자료를 이용코자 하였으나, 관련 자료의 확보에 어려움이 있어 미국전력연구소의 자료(EPRI, 2006.10)를 적용하였다. 결과는 향후 풍도 인근 해역의 조류발전단지 조성 시 기본 자료로 활용이 가능할 것이며, 조류발전의 부존량 등 관련 데이터 및 결과를 통해 에너지 정책에 좋은 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Tidal current energy is an important alternative energy resource among the various ocean energy resources available. The tidal currents in the South-Western sea of Korea can be utilized for the development of tidal current power generation. Tidal power generation can be beneficial for many fishing nurseries and nearby islands in the southwest region of Korea. Moreover, tidal power generation is necessary for promoting energy self-sufficient islands. As tidal currents are always available, power generation is predictable; thus, tidal power is a reliable renewable energy resource. The selection of an appropriate hydrofoil is important for designing a tidal current turbine. This study concentrates on the selection and numerical analysis of four different hydrofoils (MNU26, NACA63421, DU91_W2_250, and DU93_W_210LM). Blade element momentum theory is used for configuring the design of a 50 W class turbine rotor blade. The optimized blade geometry is used for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis with hexahedral numerical grids. Among the four blades, NACA63421 blade showed the maximum power coefficient of 0.45 at a tip speed ratio of 6. CFD analysis is used to investigate the power coefficient, pressure coefficient, and streamline distribution of a 50 W class horizontal axis tidal current turbine for different hydrofoils.

In this research, a design guideline of current generating rotor and acceptable field rotor in offshore environment is proposed. To design rotor model, wind mill rotor design principles and turbine theories were applied based on a field rotor experimental data. To verify the compatibility of the rotor design method and to analyze the properties of design factors, 3 rotor models were designed and experimented in a circular water channel. Three rotor models were designed according to different blade numbers and blade shapes. With various flow velocities and rotor rpm, the rotor power and efficiency were measured and the properties of rotor were estimated. The results can be effectively applied to the design of current generation rotor.

Due to global warming, the need to secure an alternative resource has become more important nationally. Due to the high tidal range of up to 9.7m on the west coast of Korea, numerous tidal current projects are being planned and constructed. To extract a significant quantity of power, a tidal current farm with a multi-arrangement is necessary in the ocean. The rotor, which initially converts the energy, is a very important component because it affects the efficiency of the entire system, and its performance is determined by various design variables. The power generation is strongly dependent on the size of the rotor and the incoming flow velocity. However, the interactions between devices also contribute significantly to the total power capacity. Therefore, rotor performance considering the interaction problems needs to be investigated for generating maximum power in a specific field. This paper documents the characteristics of wake induced by horizontal axis tidal current power turbine.

해수의 유속과 전기 부하에 따른 쉬라우드 조류발전 시스템의 유동장 특성과 발전 성능 분석을 위하여 회류수조를 이용한 축소모형실험을 수행하였다. 발전기에 연결되는 전기 부하에 대하여 터빈 블레이드의 분당 회전수와 발전기의 전압, 전류를 동시에 측정하여 전기적 출력을 계산하였으며 일정한 유속 조건에서 부하에 따라 큰 차이가 나타났다. 전기 부하가 감소함에 따라 터빈의 분당 회전수는 특정 구간에서 급격히 증가하였고, 평균 약 2배 정도 증가하였다. 또한 부하의 감소와 함께 전력이 급격히 상승하였고, 일정 구간에서 최대 전력지점을 보인 후 낮아지게 된다. 이와 함께 실험 유속이 증가함에 따라 높은 전기 부하에서 최대 전력지점이 나타났다. 이러한 유속 조건과 전기적 부하에 따른 쉬라우드 조류발전 시스템의 유동장 특성과 발전 성능 분석에 대한 결과는 효율적인 쉬라우드 조류발전 시스템 개발에 필요한 기초 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The need fur higher grid resolution in climate models is often discussed (e.g. McAvaney et al.,2001) because a number of important oceanic processes are not resolved by the current generation of coupled models, e.g., boundary currents, mesoscale eddy fluxes, sill through flows. McClean et al., (1997) and Bryan and Smith (1998) have compared simulated mesoscale variability in simulations at several eddy-resolving resolutions to TOPEX/Poseidon and similar data. (omitted)

Remote sensing wave observation data are crucial when analyzing ocean waves, the main external force of coastal disasters. Nevertheless, it has limitations in accuracy when used in low-wind environments. Therefore, this study collected the raw data from MIROS Wave and Current Radar (MWR) and wave radar at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) and applied the optimal filter by combining filters provided by MIROS software. The data were validated by a comparison with South Jeju ocean buoy data. The results showed it maintained accuracy for significant wave height, but errors were observed in significant wave periods and extreme waves. Hence, this study used an artificial neural network (ANN) to improve these errors. The ANN was generalized by separating the data into training and test datasets through stratified sampling, and the optimal model structure was derived by adjusting the hyperparameters. The application of ANN effectively improved the accuracy in significant wave periods and high wave conditions. Consequently, this study reproduced past wave data by enhancing the reliability of the MWR, contributing to understanding wave generation and propagation in storm conditions, and improving the accuracy of wave prediction. On the other hand, errors persisted under high wave conditions because of wave shadow effects, necessitating more data collection and future research.
