In order to analyze the effect of environmental protection on wind energy dissemination quantitatively, the onshore wind resource potential is estimated using Environmental Conservation Value Assessment Map and Korea Wind Resource Map. The onshore wind resource potential of 11 GW is calculated if wind farm development is prohibited within Class 1 area of Environmental Conservation Value Assessment plus 500 m buffer area. Therefore it is worried that environmental protection would be a practical barrier of accomplishing 4,155 thousand TOE target of wind energy dissemination until 2030.

A low-resolution national wind map, which is a prerequisite for setting up the national dissemination target and strategy of wind energy development, has been established by numerical wind simulation using the synoptic wind map, developed at the first stage, as an upper boundary condition. Based on the wind map, Wind Resource Information System has been composed in order to support scientific and systematic wind resource assessment and analysis.

The national goal of wind energy dissemination has to be determined rationally based on technically available wind resource potential. For a reliable and scientific estimation or wind resource potential, a wind map is requisite. This paper presents the national wind map of Korea established by numerical wind simulation. Prediction accuracy of the low-resolution wind map is Improved by nudging QuikSCAT data and is validated by comparing with marine buoy beacon and met-mast measurements. Therefore, quantification of national wind resource potential is now possible and is anticipating to be utilized as a core index for policy and strategy building of wind energy dissemination and technology development.

풍력자원지도를 작성하기 위해서는 풍황자료, 지형고도지도, 지면조도지도가 필요하다. 본 연구는 이 중 지면조도지도를 생성하는 작업의 효율성과 정확도를 높이기 위해 환경부의 토지피복지도에 영상필터링 기법 중 무빙필터를 적용하였다. 필터링된 토지피복지도를 이용하여 지면조도지도를 생성하였고 이를 가지고 풍력자원지도를 작성해봄으로써, 필터링을 거쳐 풍력자원지도를 작성하여도 타당한지 여부를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 필터링을 적용한 지면조도지도를 사용하여 작성한 바람지도 모두 과소예측을 보였으나 오차정도가 매우 작았고, RMSE 또한 50m높이에서 0.0237~0.0253m/s 정도로 거의 0에 근접한 결과를 보였다. 즉, 풍력발전기가 설치되는 80m 이상의 높이에서는 오차의 정도가 더욱 줄어들 것이고, 풍력자원예측 시 작업의 효율성을 위해 필터링기법을 적용하여도 신뢰할 만한 풍력자원지도를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

A long-term wind resource map was made to provide the key design data for the 2.5 GW Korean West-South Offshore Wind Project, and its reliability was validated. A one-way dynamic downscaling of the MERRA reanalysis meteorological data of the Yeongwang-Gochang offshore was carried out using WindSim, a Computational Fluid Dynamics based wind resource mapping software, to establish a 33-year time series wind resource map of 100 m x 100 m spatial resolution and 1-hour interval temporal resolution from 1979 to 2012. The simulated wind resource map was validated by comparison with wind measurement data from the HeMOSU offshore meteorological tower, the Wangdeungdo Island meteorological tower, and the Gochang transmission tower on the nearby coastline, and the uncertainty due to long-term variability was analyzed. The long-term variability of the wind power was investigated in inter-annual, monthly, and daily units while the short-term variability was examined as the pattern of the coefficient of variation in hourly units. The results showed that the inter-annual variability had a maximum wind index variance of 22.3% while the short-term variability, i.e., the annual standard deviation of the hourly average wind power, was $0.041{\pm}0.001$, indicating steady variability.

This paper presents an estimation method of national wind resource potential using a national and GIS(Geographical Information System). The wind resource potential is classified into theoretical, geographical and technical potentials and each category narrows down the previous definition by excluding impossible area to be developed as a wind farm using GIS datasets for onshore and offshore. As a basic unit of wind energy potential at a certain area, API(Average Power Intercepted) is calculated from WPD(Wind Power Density) given by a national wind map which is established by numerical wind simulation, so that a logical and relatively accurate potential estimation is possible comparing with other methods based on a field measurement interpolation which is inevitable to avoid critical assumptions.

This study examines the future variability of surface wind speed and solar radiation based on climate change scenario over the Korean Peninsula. Climate change scenarios used in this study are RCP 4.5 and 8.5 with a 12.5 km horizontal resolution. Climate change scenario RCP 4.5 and 8.5 reproduce the general features of wind speed over the Korean Peninsula, such as strong wind speed during spring and winter and weak wind speed during summer. When compared with the values of wind speed and solar radiation of the future, they are expected to decrease current wind and solar resource map. Comparing the resource maps using RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios, wind speed and solar radiation decrease with increasing greenhouse gas concentration. Meteorological resource maps of future wind and solar radiation should be improved with high resolution for the industrial application.

풍력자원지도의 작성을 위해 기본적으로 지형고도자료, 지면조도자료, 풍황자료가 필요하다. 그 중 지면조도자료의 경우 토지피복분류 기법을 통한 토지피복지도를 이용하여 구할 수 있다. 지면조도지도의 경우 토지피복의 성질에 따라 풍속의 조도계수가 다르게 되며, 이러한 조도계수에 근거하여 정확한 지면조도지도를 만들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Landsat위성자료를 이용하여 무감독 분류 방법과 식생지수법을 사용하여 지면조도자료를 생성한 후 풍력자원지도를 작성하였다. 이렇게 만들어진 풍력자원지도를 근거로 식생지수법의 사용이 무감독 분류 기법에 비하여 타당한지를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 식생지수를 사용한 풍력자원지도는 관측 자료와 비교한 경과 60% 이상의 등급 일치율을 보였고 불일치하는 픽셀에 대해서는 최대 등급의 차이를 넘지 않았다. 따라서 풍력자원지도 생성 시 필요한 지면조도지도를 계산할 경우 식생지수를 이용한 분류방법이 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Promising onshore wind farm sites in Gangwon province of Korea were investigated in this study. Gangwon province was divided into twenty five simulation regions and a commercial program based on Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation was used to find out wind resource maps of the regions. The national wind atlas with a period 2007-2009 developed by Korea institute of energy research was used as climatologies. The wind resource maps were combined to construct a wind resource map of Gangwon province with a horizontal spatial resolution of 100m. In addition to the wind resource, national environmental zoning map, distance from substation, residence and automobile road, Beakdudaegan mountain range, terrain slope, airport and military reservation district were considered to find out promising wind farm sites. A commercial wind farm design program was used to find out developable wind farm capacities in promising wind farm site with and without excluding environmental protection regions. The total wind farm capacities with and without excluding the protection regions were estimated to be 46MW and 598MW, respectively, when a 2MW commercial wind turbine was employed.
