수영만에 설치된 모니터링 부이에서 관측된 해류, 바람, 파고자료와 부산항의 조석자료를 이용하여 강한 이안류가 발생했던 2009년 8월 13~15일의 물리환경을 분석하였다. 수영만의 조류는 단주기 해류성분과 비슷한 크기를 가지며 대조-소조에 따른 변화를 보인다. 이안류가 발생했을 때 북동풍이 강하게 불고 조류와 해류가 해운대 해안 쪽 방향으로 중첩되었다는 공통점이 있고, 8월 14일 오후에 이안류가 없었을 때는 파고와 조석은 유사한 조건이었지만 조류와 해류가 거의 반대방향이었다. 강한 바람은 큰 파랑을 동반하여 이안류 발생의 기본조건을 조성하지만 만 내의 해류에 미치는 국지적인 영향은 비교적 작다. 수영만에 인접한 세 해수욕장 중에서 해운대에서만 강한 이안류가 나타나는 데에는 해운대 중앙부의 특이하게 얕은 수중언덕이 외해에서 들어오는 파랑, 해류, 조류를 감쇠시키는 효과가 중요할 것으로 생각된다.

Due to global warming, the need to secure an alternative resource has become more important nationally. Having very strong current on the west coast with up to 10 m tidal range, there are many suitable site for the application of TCP (Tidal Current Power) in Korea. On the south west regions between many islands that create strong current in the narrow channels. The rotor is one of the essential components which can convert tidal current energy into rotational energy to generate electricity. The design optimization of rotor is very important to maximize the power production. The performance of rotor can be determined by various parameters including number of blades, shape, sectional size, diameters and etc. This paper introduces the multi-layer vertical axis tidal current power system which can be applied to offshore jetties and piers effectively. Various cases of VAT turbine were designed. Specifically, the number of blades and turbine shape are changed in several cases. Also, performance analysis was carried out by CFD.

The Shiwhaho is an artificial lake located in Yellow sea of Korea where the ocean tidal current is significantly strong, and the tidal power plant is currently being under construction to generate electric power from the ocean tidal current. In addition to the tidal power plant under construction, an ocean current power park was proposed to maximize the power generation by utilizing the ocean current generated by the tidal power plant. To evaluate the feasibility of such combined power plant, the flow characteristics in the ocean current power parks connected with the tidal power plants were investigated numerically in the present study. When two different type of generations are operating together as a system, their interference may occur, which affects their efficiency. Therefore, the minimum distances between the tidal power plants and the ocean current power generators are studied in the present study to minimize such interference. The feasible region to generate power around the Shiwha tide embankment is also predicted by considering predicted ocean current speed distribution. Various arrangements of the ocean current generators are examined and an optimal arrangement is also discussed.

최근 친 환경 발전에 관한 관심이 높아지면서 태양광, 풍력, 조력, 조류 발전에 대한 수요가 점차 증가되고 있다. 이러한 친 환경 발전 방식 중 조석운동에 의한 해수의 흐름을 이용하는 조류발전은 지형적 특성에 의해 강한 조류가 발생하는 지역에서만 사용할 수 있는 특수한 발전 방식이다. 울돌목 해역은 조류 발전이 가능한 매우 강한 조류가 형성되는 지역으로 다른 지역의 해역과 구분되는 특별한 환경을 제공한다. 하지만, 해양에서의 인간의 활동은 수중소음을 야기하여 해양환경에 큰 영향을 미친다. 최근에는 환경영향평가의 중요성이 대두되면서 발전소 가동 시의 소음 특성 분석 및 전파양상 예측에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 조류발전소의 수중소음 특성을 측정하고 울돌목 해역으로의 전파양상을 모델링 하였다.

Several tidal current power plants are being planned and constructed in Korea utilizing the strong tidal currents along the west and south coasts. A tidal current reaches 9.7 m on the west coast; there are few potential regions for tidal current power generation. The construction of a dam to store water can prevent the circulation of water, causing a great environmental impact on the coast and estuary. The tidal barrage could produce a large amount of power, but it should be carefully considered. The purpose of developing renewable energies is to minimize the environmental impact and to maximize the utilization of clean energy. To produce a great quantity of power, tidal current farms require the placement of numerous units in the ocean. The power generation is very dependent on the size of the rotor and the incoming flow velocity. Also, the interactions between devices contribute greatly to the production of power. The efficiency of a power farm is estimated to determine the production rate. This paper introduces 3 D interaction problems between rotating rotors, considering the axial, transverse, and diagonal distances between horizontal axis tidal current devices.

The Korean peninsula has a number of coastal sites where the rhythmic rising and lowering of water surface due to tides results in strong tidal current. The kinetic energy of these currents can be efficiently exploited by use of tidal current turbines. The pilot tidal current power plant is to be constructed at the Uldolmok narrow channel between J info and Haenam, Our ins next Year, and extensive coastal engineer ing research works have been carried out. This paper describes and analyzes some observation results of field test about the efficiency of Helical turbine for tidal current power plant. The efficiency of turbine, which is diameter 2.2m and height 2.5m, is evaluated meximum RPM, torque, and current velocity. The tested turbines had the maximum efficiencies of the bounds of 25 to 35% in the current velocity range between 1.4 and 2.6 m/s. This result shows that the pilot tidal current power plant needs three helical turbines with diameter 3.0m and height 3.6m to produce electric power 500kW.

본 연구는 강조류 해역을 통과하는 선박의 해양사고를 방지하기 위해 안전한 항행속력과 적절한 통과시기를 제시하였다. 이 자료의 해석을 위하여 2010년 7월 12일부터 15일까지 명량수도를 대상으로 통과선박의 AIS 데이터 수집과 2010년 9월 4일 현장조사를 실시하였고, 여기서 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 최소항행속력(minimum navigation speed)과 여유 제어력을 감안한 적정항행속력(optimum navigation speed), 조류속력별 대응타각(respond rudder angle)을 산출하였다. 또한 조위와 조류속력 데이터를 분석해 안전한 통과시기를 제시하였다. 이 연구를 통해 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 조류의 유속이 4.4 kn 이상이 되면 선박의 타만으론 자력 조선이 불가능하다. (2) 강한 조류에 의해 발생되는 유압력과 회두모멘트에 대응하기 위해서는 최소항행속력은 조류의 2.3배, 적정항행속력은 조류의 4.0배 이상이어야 한다. (3)사리 기간 중 명량수도 적정 통과 시기는 고 저조시간 1시간 전부터 최소 30분 전까지이며 고 저조가 된 이후 5시간 동안은 4 kn 이상의 유속이 남아있는 시간으로 이 지역 항해를 자제해야 한다.

Due to global warming, the need to secure alternative resources has become more important nationally. Because of the very strong current on the west coast, with a tidal range of up to 10 m, there are many suitable sites for the application of TCP (tidal current power) in Korea. In the southwest region, a strong current is created in the narrow channels between the numerous islands. A rotor is an essential component that can convert tidal current energy into rotational energy to generate electricity. The design optimization of a rotor is very important to maximize the power production. The performance of a rotor can be determined using various parameters, including the number of blades, shape, sectional size, diameter, etc. There are many offshore jetties and piers with high current velocities. Thus, a VAT (vertical axis turbine) system, which can generate power regardless of flow direction changes, could be effectively applied to cylindrical structures. A VAT system could give an advantage to a caisson-type breakwater because it allows water to circulate well. This paper introduces a multi-layer vertical axis tidal current power system. A Savonius turbine was designed, and a performance analysis was carried out using CFD. A physical model was also demonstrated in CWC, and the results are compared with CFD.
