This study demonstrates the advantages of a shear-free structure designed to modify vertical profiles of wind speed in the atmospheric surface layer. Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) software, FLUENT is used to interpret the velocity field modification around the structure and wind turbine. The shapes of shear-free structure, installed at upstream toward prevailing wind direction, would be fences, buildings and trees, etc. According to the simulation results, it is obvious that wind shear between heights of wind turbine's blades is decreased together with a speed-up advantage. This would lead decrease of periodic wind loading caused by wind shear and power-out increase by flow uniformity and wind speed-up.

Balanced cantilever construction is extensively used in the construction of prestressed concrete (PSC) box-girder bridges. Shear-lag effect is usually considered in finished bridges, while the cumulative shear-lag effect in bridges during balanced cantilever construction is considered only rarely. In this paper, based on the balanced cantilever construction sequences of large-span PSC box-girder bridges, the difference method is employed to analyze the cumulative shear-lag effect of box girders with varying depth under the concrete segments' own weight. During cantilever construction, no negative shear-lag effect is generated, and the cumulative shear-lag effect under the balanced construction procedure is greater than the instantaneous shear-lag effect in which the full dead weight is applied to the entire cantilever. Three cross-sections of Jianjiang Bridge were chosen for the experimental observation of shear-lag effect, and the experimental results are in keeping with the theoretical results of cumulative shear-lag effect. The research indicates that only calculating the instantaneous shear-lag effect is not sufficiently safe for practical engineering purposes.

대형 풍력터빈은 지상 전단 흐름 내에서 회전하면서 주기적인 유입속도의 변동 조건 하에 운용된다. 수직 전단흐름에 의해서 경계층 내의 유입 속도는 최고점에서 속도가 최대가 되고 최저점에서 속도가 최소가 된다. 이러한 공간적인 풍속 분포는 풍력터빈 로터의 허브와 저속회전축에서 6분력 하중에 대한 주기적인 진동을 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 수직 전단 흐름 효과를 무시한 균일 흐름장과 지상 전단 흐름효과를 고려한 두 가지 경우에 대한 공력 하중을 비교분석하였다. 계산 결과로부터 허브에서의 추력과 굽힘모멘트, LSS의 굽힘모멘트가 크게 변동하는 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서 지상 전단흐름 효과를 반영한 공력 해석이 피로 해석을 위해서 반드시 필요함을 확인하였다.

Multi-MW wind turbines have very large blades over 40~50 m in length. Some factors like wind shear and tower shadow make an effect on asymmetric loads on the blades. Larger asymmetric loads are produced as the length of blade is getting longer. In this paper, a 2 MW on-shore wind turbine is considered and variations of thrust on 3 blades and rotor hub under wind shear are calculated by using a commercial Bladed S/W and dynamic properties of the thrust variations are investigated. It is shown that the amplitude of the asymmetric thrust on each blade under wind shear is getting larger as the wind speed increases, the frequency of the thrust variation on each blade is same as the one of rotor speed, and the frequency of the thrust variation at rotor hub is 3 times as high as the one of rotor speed.

A various algorism has been studied to extract possibly every energy from a wind turbine in conjunction with the increase of concern about wind power system. In order to verify these control algorism, it is essential to make the most similar conditions to the real wind turbine's environment. Therefore, using separately excited DC motor a wind turbine the most similar to the real turbine is simulated. Tower shadow effect and Wind shear effect are considered as well as inertia emulation. For the control of Back-to-Back Converter Vector current control methods and space vector pulse width modulation are used and for reducing THD of grid current LCL filter is considered. This simulation results verified the energy produced by wind all flows into the utility under the consideration of the characteristics of a wind turbine. The result of this paper is expected to be used as a basic material for analyzing the characteristics of the wind turbine generator.

Recently the diameter of the 5MW wind turbine reaches 126m, and the tower height is nearly the same with the wind turbine diameter. The blade will experience periodic inflow oscillation due to blade rotation inside the ground shear flow region, that is, the inflow velocity is maximum at uppermost position and minimum at lowermost position. In this study we compare the aerodynamic data between two inflow conditions, i.e, uniform flow and normal wind profile. From the computed results all of the relative errors for oscillating amplitudes increased due to the ground shear flow effect. Especially My at hub and $F_x$, $M_y$, $M_z$ at LSS increased enormously. It turns out that the aerodynamic analysis including the ground shear flow effect must be considered for fatigue load analysis.

풍력터빈이 MW급으로 대형화되면서 블레이드의 길이가 40미터 이상으로 길어지게 되어, 로터 블레이드가 회전할 때 블레이드에 발생하는 비대칭하중이 증가하게 되었다. 윈드쉬어, 타워 섀도우, 난류풍속 같은 요소들은 블레이드에 이런 비대칭하중 발생에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문은 원드쉬어로 인해 블레이드에 발생하는 추력변동에 의한 동하중을 추력계수를 이용하여 모델링하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 이를 위하여 "윈드쉬어 추력변동 계수"를 정의 및 도입하고, 2MW 육상용 풍력터빈을 대상으로 정격이하의 풍속에서 윈드쉬어 추력변동 계수값을 구하여 분석한다. 구해진 "윈드쉬어 추력변동 계수"와 추력계수를 이용하여 Matlab/Simulink에서 윈드쉬어 동하중 모델을 구현하고, 윈드쉬어에 의해 세 블레이드에 작용하는 추력변동을 추력계수와 "윈드쉬어 추력변동 계수"를 동시에 이용하여 표현할 수 있음을 보인다.

일반적으로 전단벽은 횡력저항 요소로서 널리 이용되고 있다. 대부분의 전단벽 구조물은 통로의 목적으로 개구부를 필요로 하게 되고 전단벽들 사이가 슬래브나 연결보로 연결된 병렬전단벽의 형태를 띠게 된다. 본 연구에서는 병렬전단벽 구조물의 연결보 중앙부에 LRB(Lead Rubber Bearing)를 도입하였고 이 시스템의 풍응답 저감성능을 검토하였다. 제안된 방법의 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 20층 및 30층 예제구조물을 구성하였고 인공풍하중을 작성하여 경계비선형 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 제안된 방법이 풍하중을 받는 고층 병렬전단벽 구조물의 사용성 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있는지 평가하기 위하여 일본 진동성능평가기준을 적용하여 보았다. 해석결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 LRB를 사용하여 병렬전단벽을 연결하는 방식이 풍응답 제어성능 개선에 효과가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the effect of sea surface temperature (SST) on the distribution of vertical wind speed in the atmospheric boundary layer of coastal areas was analyzed. In general, coastal areas are known to be more susceptible to various meteorological factors than inland areas due to interannual changes in sea surface temperature. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between sea surface temperature (ERA5) and wind resource data based on the meteorological mast of Høvsøre, the test bed area of the onshore wind farm in the coastal area of Denmark. In addition, the possibility of coastal disasters caused by abnormal vertical wind shear due to changes in sea surface temperature was also analyzed. According to the analysis of the correlation between the wind resource data at met mast and the sea surface temperature by ERA5, the wind speed from the sea and the vertical wind shear are stronger than from the inland, and are vulnerable to seasonal sea surface temperature fluctuations. In particular, the abnormal vertical wind shear, in which only the lower wind speed was strengthened and appeared in the form of a nose, mainly appeared in winter when the atmosphere was near-neutral or stable, and all occurred when the wind blows from the sea. This phenomenon usually occurred when there was a sudden change in sea surface temperature within a short period of time.

In this study, we investigated the effect of shear-key placement on the performance of grouted connections in offshore wind-turbine structures. Considering the challenges of height control during installation, we designed and analyzed three grouted connection configurations. We compared the crack patterns and strain distribution in the shear keys under axial loading. The results indicate that the misalignment of shear keys significantly influences the ultimate load capacity of grouted connections. Notably, when the shear keys were positioned facing each other, the ultimate load decreased by approximately 15%, accompanied by the propagation of irregular cracks in the upper shear keys. Furthermore, the model with 50% misalignment in the shear-key placement exhibited the highest ultimate strength, indicating a more efficient load resistance than the reference model. This indicates that tensile-load-induced cracking and the formation of compressive struts in opposite directions significantly affect the structural integrity of grouted connections. These results demonstrate the importance of considering buckling effects in the design of grouted connections, particularly given the thin and slender nature of the inner sleeves. This study provides valuable insights into the design and analysis of offshore wind-turbine structures, highlighting the need for refined design formulas that account for shifts in shear-key placement and their structural implications.
