One of the growing concerns of the wind energy production is wind ramp events. To improve the wind ramp event forecasts, the nonlinear Kalman filter bias correction method was applied to 24-h wind speed forecasts issued from the WRF model at 70-m height in Zhangbei wind farm, Hebei Province, China for a two-year period. The Kalman filter shows the remarkable ability of improving forecast skill for real-time wind speed forecasts by decreasing RMSE by 32% from 3.26 m s_-1 to 2.21 m s_-1, reducing BIAS almost to zero, and improving correlation from 0.58 to 0.82. The bias correction improves the forecast skill especially in wind speed intervals sensitive to wind power prediction. The fact shows that the Kalman filter is especially suitable for wind power prediction. Moreover, the bias correction method performs well under abrupt weather transition. As to the overall performance for improving the forecast skill of ramp events, the Kalman filter shows noticeable improvements based on POD and TSS. The bias correction increases the POD score of up-ramps from 0.27 to 0.39 and from 0.26 to 0.38 for down-ramps. After bias correction, the TSS score is significantly promoted from 0.12 to 0.26 for up-ramps and from 0.13 to 0.25 for down-ramps.

This paper presents the results of a theoretical energy analysis of a research test bed called the Zero Net Energy Test House (ZNETH) in Omaha, Nebraska in U.S.A. The ZNETH project is being designed and built with the goal of consuming a negligible amount of energy by offsetting remaining usage after energy conservation. The theoretically consumed and generated energy levels were analyzed using energy modeling software programs. By integrating a highly graphical and intuitive analysis with a Building Information Model(BIM) of the house, this investigation introduces strategies to include sustainable materials and systems to predict energy generation with a case study of ZNETH. In addition, this paper introduces parametric analyses for better envelope design and construction material selection by analyzing simulated energy consumption with various parametric inputs, e.g., material types, location, and size. It was found that the current design of ZNETH does not meet its goal of zero net energy. Sugeestions are presented to assist ZHETH in meeting its net zero energy goal.

This paper presents the dynamic modeling, analysis, and control of an AC/DC/AC-assisted, self-excited induction generator connected to the grid. The dynamic model includes wind turbine models with pitch control, gear boxes, self-excited induction generators, excitation capacitance, inductive load models, controlled six-pulse rectifiers, and novel state-space models of a grid-connected inverter. The system has been simulated to verify its capabilities of buildup voltage, stator flux response, stator phase current, electromagnetic torque, and magnetizing inductance variation during both the dynamic and steady states with a variable-speed prime mover. The complete setup of the above dynamic models was simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

수평하중이 지배적인 해상 풍력발전기 설계 시에는 지반-기초구조물 거동을 정확히 모사하여야 상부구조물에 대한 정확한 거동예측이 가능하며, 합리적 설계가 이루어질 수 있다. 현재 다양한 지반 모델링 기법이 존재하나, 모노파일 기초 설계 시, 각 해석 기법에 대한 충분한 검증 절차 없이 해석 결과를 그대로 사용할 경우 구조물을 과다 및 과소하게 설계할 우려가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지반 모델링 기법 차에 따른 모노파일의 부재력 및 수평변위 차를 비교 분석하였다. 검토 결과 고정단 모델은 최대 수평변위를 과소평가 하여 사용성 검토 측면에서 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 고정단 모델, 지반강성행렬 모델은 모노파일의 부재력을 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 가상고정점 모델은 모노파일의 부재력을 과대평가하여 경제성 측면에서 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 지반반력계수 모델과 p-y곡선 모델의 경우 3D 지반 모델링 해석 결과와 비교적 유사한 수평변위 및 부재력을 나타냈으며, 지반을 2D로 모델링한 경우 타 모델링 기법에 비해 과대한 수평변위와 부재력을 산정했다.

본 연구에서는 해상풍력발전시스템(NREL 5 MW) 하중해석을 위해 필요한 기초구조물과 해저지반간의 상호작용 모델링 방안을 모색하고, 해상풍력시스템 해석프로그램인 GH-Bladed를 활용하여 하중해석을 수행함으로 지반모델링 방법과 설계하중조건에 따른 기초구조물 설계하중을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 상기 하중해석 결과를 기초구조물 해석프로그램 L-Pile에 적용하여 기초구조물 단면에 대한 안정성 검토를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서 정리한 기초구조물 모델링 방법인 고정단, winkler spring, coupled spring 모델과 설계하중조건 DLC 1.3, DLC 6.1a, DLC 6.2a의 해석결과를 바탕으로 모노파일의 단면변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 모든 설계하중조건에서 고정단, coupled spring 모델의 경우 모노파일의 단면이 직경 7 m, 두께 80 mm로 산정되었으며, winkler spring 모델을 적용하여 해석을 수행한 결과 모노파일의 단면이 직경 5 m, 두께 60 mm로 산정되었다. 본 연구를 통해 지반-기초구조물간의 상호작용 모델링 방법이 기초구조물의 설계 단면을 결정하는 하중해석 결과에 영향을 미친다는 것을 파악하였으며, 이러한 영향을 고려하여 해상풍력시스템 기초구조물을 설계한다면 기초구조물 설계 시 발생할 수 있는 과다 과소설계 가능성을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A variable electromotive-force generator (VEG), which is a modified generator with an adjustable overlap between the rotor and the stator, is proposed to expand the operational range of a regular generator through a simple and robust active control strategy. It has a broad range of applications in hybrid vehicles, wind turbines, water turbines, and similar technologies. A mathematical model of the VEG is developed, and a novel prototype is designed and fabricated. The performance of the VEG with an active control system, which adjusts the overlap ratio based on the desired output power at different rotor speeds for a specific application, is theoretically and experimentally studied. The results show that reducing the overlap between the rotor and the stator of the generator results in reduced torque loss of the generator and an increased rotational speed of the generator rotor. A VEG can improve the fuel efficiency of hybrid vehicles; it can also expand operational ranges of wind turbines and water turbines and harness more power.

New methodology for probabilistic reliability based grid expansion planning of HVDC in power system including Wind Turbine Generators(WTG) is developed in this paper. This problem is focused on scenario based optimal selection technique to decide best connection bus of new transmission lines of HVDC in view point of adequacy reliability in power system including WTG. This requires two kinds of modeling and simulation for reliability evaluation. One is how is reliability evaluation model and simulation of WTG. Another is to develop a failure model of HVDC. First, reliability evaluation of power system including WTG needs multi-state simulation methodology because of intermittent characteristics of wind speed and nonlinear generation curve of WTG. Reliability methodology of power system including WTG has already been developed with considering multi-state simulation over the years in the world. The multi-state model already developed by authors is used for WTG reliability simulation in this study. Second, the power system including HVDC includes AC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter substation. The substation is composed of a lot of thyristor devices, in which devices have possibility of failure occurrence in potential. Failure model of AC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter substation in order to simulate HVDC reliability is newly proposed in this paper. Furthermore, this problem should be formulated in hierarchical level II(HLII) reliability evaluation because of best bus choice problem for connecting new HVDC and transmission lines consideration. HLII reliability simulation technique is not simple but difficult and complex. CmRel program, which is adequacy reliability evaluation program developed by authors, is extended and developed for this study. Using proposed method, new HVDC connected bus point is able to be decided at best reliability level successfully. Methodology proposed in this paper is applied to small sized model power system.

For large-scale 5MW offshore wind turbines, the discrete equation of fluid domain and the motion equation of structural domain with geometric nonlinearity were built, the three-dimensional modeling of the blade considering fluid-structure interaction (FSI) was achieved by using Unigraphics (UG) and Geometry modules, and the numerical simulation and the analysis of the vibration characteristics for wind turbine structure under rotating effect were carried out based on ANSYS software. The results indicate that the rotating effect has an apparent effect on displacement and Von Mises stress, and the response and the distribution of displacement and Von Mises stress for the blade in direction of wingspan increase nonlinearly with the equal increase of rotational speeds. Compared with the single blade model, the blade vibration period of the whole machine model is much longer. The structural coupling effect reduces the response peak value of the blade displacement and Von Mises stress, and the increase of rotational speed enhances this coupling effect. The maximum displacement difference between two models decreases first and then increases along wingspan direction, the trend is more visible with the equal increase of rotational speed, and the boundary point with zero displacement difference moves towards the blade root. Furthermore, the Von Mises stress difference increases gradually with the increase of rotational speed and decreases nonlinearly from the blade middle to both sides. The results can provide technical reference for the safe operation and optimal design of offshore wind turbines.
