In this study, we found a relationship between wind shear exponent, ${\alpha}$, and a few factors such as the wind speed, $V$, ruggedness index($RIX$), and the Weibull shape parameter, $k$ of sites in complex terrain in Korea. Wind shear exponents in main wind directions were calculated using wind speed data measured for one year from various heights of eleven meteorological masts in Gangwon province. It was found from the analysis that the reciprocal of the wind shear exponent can be expressed by an exponentially decaying function with respect to a multiple of $V$, $RIX$ and $k$. This result is considered useful to be used to characterize wind characteristics of specific sites in complex terrain in Korea with limited information.

고도에 따른 풍속변화를 의미하는 Wind shear는 풍력발전기의 에너지 생산량에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 풍속을 보정하는 방법으로는 멱법칙(Power Law)이 사용되는데, 일반적으로 쓰이는 0.143(1/7)의 멱지수(Power Law exponent) 값을 이용한 보정식을 1/7th 멱법칙이라 한다. 하지만 멱지수는 해당 지역의 대기 안정도, 지표면의 상태 등에 의해 많은 영향을 받으므로, 실제 정확한 풍력에너지 예측을 위해서는 관심지역의 멱지수의 정확한 계산이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 북동부 연안지역 3곳에 Met-mast를 설치하여 풍력자원을 측정하였고, 이를 바탕으로 제주도 북동부 지역에 적합한 멱지수를 계산하여 제안하였다. 제주도 북동부 연안지역의 멱지수를 계산한 결과, 한동 0.141, 평대 0.138, 우도 0.1254의 값을 얻었다. 0.143(1/7)의 멱지수 값, 제안한 멱지수 값을 적용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량과 실제 측정된 풍황자료를 이용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량을 비교한 결과, 세 지역 모두 제안한 멱지수 값을 적용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량이 실제 측정된 풍황자료를 이용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량과 유사한 결과를 보였고, 따라서 제안한 멱지수 값의 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

Climatic characteristics were described using the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and the met-mast on Dongbok·Bukchon region. The influences of meteorological conditions on the power performance of wind turbines were presented using the data of Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) and met-mast of the Dongbok·Bukchon Wind Farm (DBWF) located in Jeju Island. The stability was categorized into three parameters (Richardson number, Turbulence intensity, and Wind shear exponent). DBWF was dominant in unstable atmospheric conditions. At wind speeds of 14 m/s or more, the proportion of slightly unstable conditions accounted for more than 50%. A clear difference in the power output of the wind turbine was exhibited in the category of atmospheric stability and turbulence intensity (TI). Particularly, a more sensitive difference in power performance was showed in the rated wind speeds of the wind turbine and wind regime with high TI. When the flow had a high turbulence at low wind speeds and a low turbulence at rated wind speeds, a higher wind energy potential was produced than that in other conditions. Finally, the high-efficiency of the wind farm was confirmed in the slightly unstable atmospheric stability. However, when the unstable state become stronger, the wind farm efficiency was lower than that in the stable state.

This paper presents an overview analysis on the observed wind shear at Pohang Steel Works, focusing on diurnal patterns and the frequency of high nighttime shear at the site in case of land breeze. In addition, this paper discusses the importance of accurate shear estimates for reliable evaluation of wind energy density. In order for a long-term correlation of the site, three Measure-Correlate-Predict methods were tested with Pohang wind data and it was shown that the linear MCP gives poor estimation due to the geographic characteristics of complex terrain where the severe transformation of wind direction was accompanied.

To predict annual energy production (AEP) accurately in the wind farm where located in Seongsan, Jeju Island, Equivalent wind speed (EQ) which can consider vertical wind shear well than Hub height wind speed (HB) is calculated. AEP is produced by CFD model WindSim from National wind resource map. EQ shows a tendency to be underestimated about 2.7% (0.21 m/s) than HB. The difference becomes to be large at nighttime when wind shear is large. EQ can be also affected by atmospheric stability so that is classified by wind shear exponent (${\alpha}$). AEP is increased by 11% when atmosphere becomes to be stabilized (${\alpha}$ > 0.2) than it is convective (${\alpha}$ < 0.1). However, it is found that extreme wind shear (${\alpha}$ > 0.3) is hazardous for power generation. This results represent that AEP calculated by EQ can provide improved accuracy to short-term wind power forecast and wind resource assessment.

지면위의 풍속의 변화를 높이별 풍속변화(wind shear)아고 한다. 풍력자원 평가 분야에서 전통적으로 이런 높이별 풍속 변화특성을 수학적으로 두 가지 방법으로 분석한다. 이를 대수법칙(Lograthmic law)과 멱법칙(Power law)이라 한다. 대수법칙은 표면 거칠기를 파라미터로 멱법칙의 경우 멱지수를 파라미터로 사용한다. 높이별 풍속변화는 여러 가지 인자에 의하여 영항을 받는다. 대부분은 대기의 안정도와 주변의 지형에 의한 거칠기에 현저한 영향을 받는다. 대기안정도는 계절적, 하루의 시간 변화나 기상학적 변화에 의한 영항을 받는다. 표면의 거칠기와 멱지수 역시 시간의 변화에 따라 변화하는 경향을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 제주 평대와 한동 지역의 풍황 관측데이터를 이용하여 메트랩과 windograper를 이용하여 조도 길이와 멱지수를 계산 하였다. 이 결과는 참조데이터들과 유사한 결과를 보이긴 했지만 범위는 차이를 보이고 있었다. 선행 연구와 비교한 결과 해양의 경우 비슷한 결과를 보였지만 농작지의 경우 보다 높은 범위를 농촌마을이 경우 보다 낮은 범위를 보이고 있었다.

A study on factors influencing measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) system was conducted in Kimnyeong wind turbine test site on Jeju Island. Three properties of wind including inclined angle, turbulence intensity and power law exponent were taken into account as factors influencing the measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR. In order to calculate LiDAR measurements error, 2.5-month wind speed data collected from LiDAR (WindCube v2) were compared with concurrent data from the anemometer on a nearby 120m-high meteorological mast. In addition, data filtering was performed and its filtering criteria was based on the findings at previous researches. As a result, at 100m above ground level, absolute LiDAR error rate with absolute inclined angle showed 4.58~13.40% and 0.77 of the coefficients of determination, $R^2$. That with turbulence intensity showed 3.58~23.94% and 0.93 of $R^2$ while that with power law exponent showed 4.71~9.53% and 0.41 of $R^2$. Therefore, it was confirmed that the LiDAR measurement error was highly affected by inclined angle and turbulence intensity, while that did not much depend on power law exponent.

Bora is a strong, usually dry temporally and spatially transient wind that is common at the eastern Adriatic Coast and many other dynamically similar regions around the world. One of the Bora main characteristics is its gustiness, when wind velocities can reach up to five times the mean velocity. Bora often creates significant problems to traffic, structures and human life in general. In this study, Bora velocity and near-ground turbulence are studied using the results of three-level high-frequency Bora field measurements carried out on a meteorological tower near the city of Split, Croatia. These measurements are analyzed for a period from April 2010 until June 2011. This rather long period allows for making quite robust and reliable conclusions. The focus is on mean Bora velocity, turbulence intensity, Reynolds shear stress and turbulence length scale profiles, as well as on Bora velocity power spectra and thermal stratification. The results are compared with commonly used empirical laws and recommendations provided in the ESDU 85020 wind engineering standard to question its applicability to Bora. The obtained results report some interesting findings. In particular, the empirical power- and logarithmic laws proved to fit mean Bora velocity profiles well. With decreasing Bora velocity there is an increase in the power-law exponent and aerodynamic surface roughness length, and simultaneously a decrease in friction velocity. This indicates an urban-like velocity profile for smaller wind velocities and a rural-like velocity profile for larger wind velocities. Bora proved to be near-neutral thermally stratified. Turbulence intensity and lateral component of turbulence length scales agree well with ESDU 85020 for this particular terrain type. Longitudinal and vertical turbulence length scales, Reynolds shear stress and velocity power spectra differ considerably from ESDU 85020. This may have significant implications on calculations of Bora wind loads on structures.

In this paper, a new displacement field based on quasi-3D hybrid-type higher order shear deformation theory is developed to analyze the static and dynamic response of exponential (E), power-law (P) and sigmoïd (S) functionally graded beams. Novelty of this theory is that involve just three unknowns with including stretching effect, as opposed to four or even greater numbers in other shear and normal deformation theories. It also accounts for a parabolic distribution of the transverse shear stresses across the thickness, and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions at beams surfaces without introducing a shear correction factor. The beam governing equations and boundary conditions are determined by employing the Hamilton's principle. Navier-type analytical solutions of bending and free vibration analysis are provided for simply supported beams subjected to uniform distribution loads. The effect of the sigmoid, exponent and power-law volume fraction, the thickness stretching and the material length scale parameter on the deflection, stresses and natural frequencies are discussed in tabular and graphical forms. The obtained results are compared with previously published results to verify the performance of this theory. It was clearly shown that this theory is not only accurate and efficient but almost comparable to other higher order shear deformation theories that contain more number of unknowns.
