  • I examined the relationship between allocations to plant size components such as plant height, total leaf weight, and nuber of branches and to reproductive components such as the number and weight of male and female fowers in three populations of the monoecious, wind-pollinated Ambrosia artemisiifolia. In particular, the two types of gender of plants, phenotypic and functional gender, were related to resource allocation. Mean values of all plant size and reproductive components differed significantly among the three populations. Such inter-population differences did not exist for both photosynthetic and reproductive efforts, Plant size components were mostly positively correlated with reproductive components among plants. However, the relationships between photosynthetic effort and reproductive components were largely negative and inconsistent among populations. The phenotypic gender was much lover than 0.5 in all of the three populations. Pairwise correlations between functional gender and each allocation measurement such as plant size components, reproductive components, photosynthetic effort, and reproductive effort were not consistent across the three populations. These results suggest that the gender of A. artemisiifolia measured as flower production responds sensitively to environmental conditions which might differ whithin as well as among populations.

  • In this paper, to integrate distributed IT resources and manage human resource efficiently as purpose of cost reduction, infrastructure of wind turbine monitoring system have been designed and developed on the basis of SaaS cloud. This infrastructure hierarchize data according to related task and services. Softwares to monitor conditions via the infrastructure are also developed. Softwares are made up of DB design, field measurement, data transmission and monitoring programs. The infrastructure is able to monitor conditions from SCADA data and additional sensors. Total time delay from field measurement to monitoring is defined by modeling of step-wise time delay in condition monitoring algorithms. Since vibration data are acquired by measurements of high resolution, the delay is unavoidable and it is essential information for application of O&M program. Monitoring target is gearbox in wind turbine of MW-class and it is operating for 10 years, which means that accurate monitoring is essential for its efficient O&M in the future. The infrastructure is in operation to deal with the gearbox conditions with high resolution of 50 TB data capacity, annually.

  • 원격탐사(remote sensing)란 관측 대상과의 접촉 없이 멀리서 정보를 얻어내는 기술을 말한다. 기상관측분야에는 이미 소다(SODAR) 장비가 폭넓게 사용되거 왔으나 최근 풍력자원평가(wind resource assessment)를 위한 풍황측정에 SODAR와 더불어 라이다(LIDAR)가 적극적으로 활용되기 시작하고 있다. 참고로 SODAR(SOnic Detection And Ranging)는 수직 및 동서 남북 방향으로 음파를 발생시키고 대기유동에 의해 산란 반사된 에코를 수신하여 진동수 변화와 반사에코 강도를 측정하여 각 방향의 에코자료를 벡터 합성함으로써 풍향 및 풍속을 산출하는 원리이다. 반면 LIDAR(Light Detection And Ranging)는 비교적 최근에 풍황측정 용도로 개발된 레이저 탐지에 바탕을 둔 원거리 센서로, 공기입자(먼지, 수증기, 구름, 안개, 오염물질 등)에 의해 산란된 레이저 발산의 도플러 쉬프트(Doppler shift)를 이용하여 풍향 및 풍속을 측정하는 원격탐사 장비이다. 풍력자원평가 측면에서 라이다는 그 정확도가 IEC61400-12에 의거한 풍황탑(met-mast) 측정자료 다수와의 비교검증 실측평가(Albers et al., 2009)를 통하여 입증된 바 있다. 한편 한국에너지기술연구원에서 운용 중인 라이다 시스템은 그림 1의 우측 그림과 같이 1초에 $360^{\circ}$를 스캔하여 50지점에서 반사되는 레이저를 스펙트럼으로 측정하되 설정된 관측높이에서 풍속은 샘플링 부피(sampling volume)의 평균값으로 정의된다. 그런데 샘플링 부피는 설정된 관측높이로부터 상하 12.5m, 총 25m의 높이구간에서 관측한 스펙트럼의 평균값을 그 중앙지점에서의 풍속으로 환산하는 알고리듬(algorithm)을 채택하고 있다. 따라서 비선형적으로 변화하는 풍속연직분포 관측 시 풍속환산 알고리듬에 의한 측정오차가 개입될 가능성이 존재하는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 라이다에 의한 풍속연직분포 측정 시 샘플링 부피의 구간 평균화 과정에서 발생하는 불확도(uncertainty)를 정량적으로 분석함으로써 라이다에 의한 풍속연직분포 관측의 불확도를 정량평가하고자 한다.

  • This paper details a method for establishing a wind energy map having($1Km{\times}1Km$) resolution. The map is essential for measurement and efficiency-testing of wind energy resources and wind site analysis. To this end, a statistical wind field model is estimated that covers 345,682 regions obtained by $1Km{\times}1Km$ lattices made over South Korea. The paper derives various characteristics of a regional wind energy resource under the statistical wind field model and estimates them to construct the wind energy map. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, based on TMY(typical meteorological year) wind data of 76 weather station areas, shows that a Log-normal model is adequate for the statistical wind field model. The model is estimated by using the wind speed data of 345,682 regions provided by the National Institute of Meteorological Research(NIMR). Various wind energy statistics are studied under the Log-normal wind field model. As an application, the wind energy density(W$/m^2$) map of South Korea is constructed with a resolution of $1Km{\times}1Km$ and its utility for the wind site analysis is discussed.

  • Floating LiDAR is a system that provides a new paradigm for wind condition observation, which is essential when creating an offshore wind farm. As it can save time and money, minimize environmental impact, and even reduce backlash from local communities, it is emerging as the industry standard. However, the design and verification of a stable platform is very important, as disturbance factors caused by fluctuations of the buoy affect the reliability of observation data. In Korea, due to the nation's late entry into the technology, a number of foreign equipment manufacturers are dominating the domestic market. The west coast of Korea is a shallow sea environment with a very large tidal difference, so strong currents repeatedly appear depending on the region, and waves of strong energy that differ by season are formed. This paper conducted a study examining buoys suitable for LiDAR operation in the waters of Korea, which have such complex environmental characteristics. In this paper, we will introduce examples of optimized design and verification of ship-type buoys, which were applied first, and derive important concepts that will serve as the basis for the development of various platforms in the future.

  • Existing exploration robot is able to control its speed using technologies such as the remote control and deep learning. However its speed control method using weather information has not been proposed. To overcome the problem of conventional methods without using the weather information which is an useful ordinary life information, this paper proposes a new speed control method of exploration robot using weather information gathered from RSS service which is offered without cost by the Meteorological Agency. The exploration robot implemented in this paper is controled by the remote control through the TCP/IP communication and provides real-time real spot figure gathered from its camera sensor within the range of WiFi. Additionally, according to the weather information from URL of the Meteorological Agency, the implemented exploration robot autonomously controls it speed. The correct performance of the proposed method is verified by the experimental measurement data of its speed according to the precipitation probability and wind speed in this paper.

  • 부유식 라이다는 해상풍력단지 조성시 필수적으로 수행하고 있는 풍황관측 업무에 새로운 패러다임을 제공하고 있는 시스템으로, 전통적으로 풍황관측을 수행하고 있던 해상기상관측탑을 대체하여 사업 초기의 대규모 공사를 획기적으로 축소하여 시간과 비용을 절약하고, 환경적 영향을 최소화 하며, 지역사회의 반발 요소까지 줄일 수 있어 해당 업계의 표준으로 자리잡고 있는 중이다. 다만 부표식의 동요에 따른 외란적 요소가 관측자료의 신뢰성에 영향을 미치는 만큼 안정적인 플랫폼의 설계 및 검증이 매우 중요한 상황이며, 국내에서는 해당기술에 대한 늦은 진입으로 인해 다수의 외산장비 제조사들이 국내시장까지 선점하고 있는 상황이다. 한국의 서해안은 천해 환경으로 조석차가 매우 커 지역에 따라 강한 조류가 반복적으로 나타나며, 계절별로 상이한 강한 에너지의 파랑이 형성되는 등 플랫폼에 안정도에 많은 영향을 미치는 바다 환경을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 복잡한 환경적 특성을 갖고 있는 우리나라의 해역에 라이다 운영에 적합한 부표식에 대한 연구를 수행하며, 우선적으로 적용하였던 선박형 부표식의 최적화 설계 및 검증 사례를 소개하고, 향후 다양한 플랫폼 개발에 토대가 되는 중요 개념을 도출하고자 한다.
