현재 해상풍력 발전 타워는 강구조로 제작되고 있으며, 발전용량의 증가에 따라 타워 구조체 또한 장대화 되는 추세이다. 강조조물의 특성상 좌굴에 취약하며, 장대화 됨에 따라 세장비가 증가하여, 좌굴 및 진동에 취약한 특성을 보이게 된다. 본 연구에서는 신형식 구조체인 이중관-콘크리트 합성 구조(DSCT; Double Skinned Composite Tubular)를 적용한 해상풍력 타워를 제시하고 요구 성능을 만족하는 최적 단면 설계를 제시하였다. 관은 섬유보강 합성수지 (FRP; Fiber Reinforce Polymer)와 강재를 적용한 경우를 고려하였으며, 모두 요구 성능을 만족하였다.

A time-domain simulation tool to predict the dynamic power output of wind turbines in an offshore wind farm was developed in this study. A wind turbine model consisting of first or second order transfer functions of various wind turbine elements was combined with the Ainslie's eddy viscosity wake model to construct the simulation tool. The wind turbine model also includes an aerodynamic model that is a look up table of power and thrust coefficients with respect to the tip speed ratio and pitch angle of the wind turbine obtained by a commercial multi-body dynamics simulation tool. The wake model includes algorithms of superposition of multiple wakes and propagation based on Taylor's frozen turbulence assumption. Torque and pitch control algorithms were implemented in the simulation tool to perform max-Cp and power regulation control of the wind turbines. The simulation tool calculates wind speeds in the two-dimensional domain of the wind farm at the hub height of the wind turbines and yields power outputs from individual wind turbines. The NREL 5MW reference wind turbine was targeted as a wind turbine to obtain parameters for the simulation. To validate the simulation tool, a Danish offshore wind farm with 80 wind turbines was modelled and used to predict the power from the wind farm. A comparison of the prediction with the measured values available in literature showed that the results from the simulation program were fairly close to the measured results in literature except when the wind turbines are congruent with the wind direction.

본 연구에서는 해상풍력발전 후보지인 영광해상에 설치한 해상 기상타워 해모수 1호(HeMOSU-1)의 2011년 연간 풍속 관측 자료와 기상타워 해모수 1호 설치 지점에 인접한 부안, 고창, 영광 3개 지점의 육상 풍속자료를 이용하여 해상 임의고도에서의 풍속 산정 과정에서 발생하는 오차에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 먼저 육상 풍속자료와 해상 풍속자료의 선형회귀분석으로 유도된 관계식을 이용하여 해상 기준고도(평균해수면 98.69 m)의 해상풍속자료를 추정하였다. 그리고, 추정된 해상풍속 자료는 관측자료를 통해 산출된 고도분포지수 값(${\simeq}0.115$)과 멱법칙 풍속프로파일을 이용하여 87.65 m 높이로 고도보정하여 관측치와 비교하였다. 연구 수행결과, 공간보정오차는 1.6~2.2 m/s 정도이며, 고도보정오차는 0.1 m/s 정도로 공간보정오차의 약 5% 정도에 불과한 것으로 파악되었다. 육상자료를 환산하여 해상임의지점의 풍속을 추정하는 경우, 큰 오차가 발생하기 때문에 장기간의 해상자료를 확보하거나 정확도가 높은 모델링 자료를 이용하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Large-scale offshore wind power is emerging as a viable solution to achieve carbon neutrality and solve climate change. As power generation complexes require ample space for construction, they create conflicts with residents near the construction site. To resolve the issue with residents, Korea, along with other countries, has developed policies that focus on influencing public perception. However, as the contents of such policies changed several times in a short period in Korea, they were differently applied depending on the timing of the project. This study examines how Korean offshore wind power site development policies, particularly the ones focusing on swaying public perception, were applied differently by regions.

This paper presents the DC voltage control method in DC link of High Voltage Direct Current(HVDC) for an offshore wind farm in Low Voltage Ride Through(LVRT) situation. Wind generators in an offshore wind farm are connected to onshore network via HVDC transmission. Due to LVRT control of grid side inverter in HVDC, power imbalancing in DC link is generated and this consequentially causes rising of DC voltage. A de-loading scheme is one of the method to protect the wind power system DC link capacitors from over voltage. But the flaw of this method is slow control response time and that it needs long recovery time to pre-fault condition after fault clear. Thus, this paper proposes improved de-loading method and we analyze control performance for DC voltage in LVRT control of HVDC for an offshore wind farm.

A feasibility study to estimate annual energy production of an offshore wind farm was performed using MERRA reanalysis data. Two well known commercial codes commonly used to wind farm design and power prediction were used. Three years of MERRA data were used to predict annual energy predictions of the offshore wind farm close to Copenhagen from 2011 to 2013. The availability of the wind farm was calculated from the power output data available online. It was found from the study that the MERRA reanalysis data with commercial codes could be used to fairly accurately predict the annual energy production from offshore wind farms when a meteorological mast is not available.

As the generation capacity of floating offshore wind turbines increases, the wind load applied to each turbine increases. Due to such a high wind load, the capacity of transport equipment (such as tugboats or cranes) required in the transportation and installation phases must be much larger than that of previous small-capacity wind power generation systems. However, for such an important wind load prediction method, the simple formula proposed by the classification society is generally used, and prediction through wind tunnel tests or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is rarely used, especially for a concept or initial design stages. In this study, the wind load of a 10 MW class floating offshore wind turbine was predicted by a simplified formula and compared with results of wind tunnel tests. In addition, the wind load coefficients at each stage of fabrication, transportation, and installation are presented so that it can be used during a concept or initial design stages for similar floating offshore wind turbines.

The use of eco-friendly energy in the offshore plant system is expanding because conventional generators are operated by fossil fuel or natural gas. Eco-friendly energy, which replaces existing power generation methods, should be capable of generating the power for lighting protection equipment, airborne fault indication, parameter measurement, and others. Most of the eco-friendly energy used in offshore plant facilities is solar and wind power. In the case of using photovoltaic power, because the structure must be constructed based as flat solar panels, it can be damaged easily by the wind. Therefore, there is a need for a new generation system composed of a spherical structure that does not require a separate structure and is less influenced by the wind. Considering these characteristics, in this study we designed, fabricated, and tested a unit that could provide the most efficient spherical photovoltaic power generation considering wind direction and wind pressure. Our test results indicated that the proposed system reduced costs because it did not require any separate structure, used eco-friendly energy, reduced carbon dioxide emissions, and expanded the proportion of eco-friendly energy use by offshore plant facilities.

Offshore wind power generation is an energy generation field that is rapidly developing owing to the increasing demand for clean energy. However, the physiological response of fish to the underwater noise generated during construction or operation of wind turbines is unclear. We confirmed the effects of sound pressures of 125, 135, 145, and 155 dB/µPa, including 140 dB/µPa (the standard sound pressure for noise damage recognition in South Korea), through serum analysis in rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus). High mortality induced by reduced immunity through artificial infection after stimulation was confirmed. These results suggest that rock bream is negatively affected by the noise generated during the construction of offshore wind power plants.

In recent years, many countries have been endeavoring to exploit the offshore wind energy in terms of overcoming the limitations of on-land wind energy. Considering that mountains cover 70 percent of the Korean Peninsula and arable plains for wind energy are negligibly small, Korean government aggressively drives the offshore wind development of the Korean Peninsula. As part of preliminary investigation of offshore wind resources, KEPCO-RI (Korea Electric Power Corporation-Research Institute) has been analyzing marine buoy datasets measured at 5 positions over the period of 12 years, including estimation of extreme wind speed. It can be observed that variation of yearly wind speed, monthly wind speed as well as frequency distribution of wind direction. Wind classes of buoy sites are estimated by extrapolated average wind speed using log law. In addition, wind turbine class based on IEC code is assessed for evaluation of suitable wind turbine.
