본 연구에서는 풍력 터빈 블레이드의 다분야 통합 최적 설계를 위하여, 진동하는 비정상 공력하중에 의한 작동 수명을 고려한 최적화 과정을 수행하였다. 최적화 대상으로는 NREL의 1.5MW 급 풍력터빈을 baseline 으로 하였고, NREL의 FAST 프로그램을 이용하여 발전기의 정격 출력 및 블레이드에 작용하는 비정상 공력 하중 특성을 분석하였다. 최적화 수행 시 블레이드 형상의 효율적인 구현을 위해 형상모델링 함수를 이용하여 코드 길이와 트위스트 분포를 모델링하였다. 그리고 상용 MDO Framework 인 Piano를 이용하여 블레이드 루트부의 비정상 공력하중 조건을 완화시키는 최적화 설계를 수행하였다. 정격출력을 유지하면서도 Out of Plain 방향의 하중 조건을 개선하여 보다 긴 작동 수명을 기대할 수 있는 블레이드 형상을 설계하였다.

Dynamic stability of rotating blade considering gravity effect is investigated in this paper. Equations of motion for the beam is derived by employing hybrid deformation variable method and transformed into dimensionless form. The present modeling method is verified by RecurDyn. Stability diagrams are presented to show the influence of the configuration of the beam and angular velocity on the dynamic stability by applying Floquet's theory. Since the natural frequencies are varied when the blade has rotating motion, it is found that relatively large unstable regions exist approximately 1.1 times as high as the first bending natural frequency and half of the sum of first and second bending natural frequency.

풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 경우 운용 조건에서 높은 양항비를 가지도록 설계되나 풍속, 풍향의 변동에 의해 운용조건에 변화가 발생할 경우 성능의 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 운용조건의 변동이 발생하더라도 공력 성능이 크게 변하지 않는 익형이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 운용조건의 불확실성을 고려하여 풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 신뢰성 기반 강건 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 익형 설계를 위해서 여러 익형 형상 변수들을 고려할 수 있는 익형 모델링 함수를 정의하였고 기저형상으로는 NREL에서 개발한 S809 익형을 사용하였다.

Structural design and analysis of a coiling arm unloading machine for submarine cable have been originally conducted in this study. Three-dimensional CAD modeling process is practically applied for the structural design in detail. Finite element method(FEM) and multi-body dynamics(MBD) analyses are also used to verify the safety and required motions of the designed coiling arm structure. The effective moving functions of the designed coiling arm with respect to rotational and radial motions are achieved by adopting bearing-roller mechanical parts and hydraulic system. Critical design loading conditions due to its self weight, carrying cables, offshore wind, and hydraulic system over operation conditions are considered for the present structural analyses. In addition, possible inclined ground conditions for the installation of the designed coiling arm are also considered to verify overturn stability. The present hydraulic type coiling arm system is originally designed and developed in this study. The developed coiling arm has been installed at a harbor, successfully tested its operational functions, and finished practical unloading mission of the submarine cable.

The conventional power system allowed only downstream power flow. Therefore, even if a fault occurs, only the forward current flow is considered. However, with the interest in distributed generation (DG), DGs such as Photovoltaic (PV), Wind Turbine (WT) are being connected to a power system. DGs have many advantages, but they also have disadvantage such as generation of reverse flow. Reverse flow can severely disrupt existing protection systems that only consider downstream power flow. The major problems that may arise from reverse power flow are blinding protection and sympathetic tripping. In order to solve such problems, the methods of installing a directional relay or a fault current limiter is proposed. However, this method is inconceivable because of the economics shortage. Therefore, in this paper, a distance relay installed in existing power system is used to solve the protection problem. Modeling of distance relay has been carried out using ElectroMagnetic Transients Program (EMTP), and it has been verified through simulations that the above problems can be solved by a distance relay.

This paper presents a numerical study of pile force distribution in a pile group foundation subjected to vertical load and large moment. The physical modeling of a pile foundation for a wind turbine is analyzed using 3D finite element software, PLAXIS 3D. The soil profile consists of several clay layers, which are modeled as Mohr-Coulomb material in an undrained condition. The piles in the pile group foundation are modeled as special elements called embedded pile elements. To model the problem of a pile group foundation, a small gap is created between the pile cap and underlying soil. The pile cap is modeled as a rigid plate element connected to each pile by a hinge. As a result, applied vertical load and large moment are transferred only to piles without any load sharing to underlying soil. Results of the study focus on pile load distribution for the square shape of a pile group foundation. Mathematical expression is proposed to describe pile force distribution for the cases of vertical load and large moment and purely vertical load.

Korea Ministry of Knowledge Economy has estimated that wind power (WP) will be occupied 37% in 2020 and 42% in 2030 of the new energy sources, and also green energies such as photovoltaic (PV) and WP are expected to be interconnected with the distribution system because of Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) starting from 2012. However, when a large scale wind power plant (over 3[MW]) is connected to the traditional distribution system, protective devices (mainly OCR and OCGR of re-closer) will be occurred mal-function problems due to changed fault currents it be caused by Wye-grounded/Delta winding of interconnection transformer and %impedance of WP's turbine. Therefore, when Double-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) of typical WP's Generator is connected into distribution system, this paper deals with analysis three-phase short, line to line short and a single line ground faults current by using the symmetrical components of fault analysis and PSCAD/EMTDC modeling.

As resin impregnates through the fiber preform in vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process, the volume of fibers is changed by expansion of fiber mat according to filling time. It causes not only the change in dimension but also the decrease of mechanical properties of the composite product. Moreover, it results in the economic loss by increase of the used amount of resin especially in the large product such as wind turbine blade. In this study, the ways to control fiber volume fraction were investigated by both the experimental and theoretical analyses on the expansion of fiber preform as the preform was impregnated by resin in the VARTM process. Two kinds of swelling stage were observed as flow front progressed, which was analyzed by comparing the experimental and simulation results. The process parameters are expected to be optimized by investigating the swelling behavior of fiber preform in the manufacturing process of the composite product.
