This paper describes a research for the performance improvement of the straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine. To improve the performance of VAWT, the individual blade pitch control method is adopted. For the wind turbine, CFD analysis is carried out by changing blade pitch angle according to the change of wind speed and wind direction. By this method, capacity and power efficiency of VAWT are obtained according to the wind speed and rotating of rotor, and could predict the overall performance of VAWT. It was manufactured to verify performance of the experimental system that consists of rotor including four blades and base. Furthermore, torque sensor and power generator were installed. Also, active controller which can change the pitch angle of the individual blade according to the wind speed and direction was used.

SAR의 마이크로파를 이용하면 악기상환경 및 주야간에도 해양의 관측이 가능하다. SAR의 해양표면에 대한 영상은 표면바람장과 관련된 대기 현상에 관한 많은 정보를 가지고 있다. SAR로부터 추출되는 풍속의 정보는 다양하게 이용된다. SAR 영상으로부터 해상풍을 산출하기 위해서는 바람산출모델에 SAR 영상으로부터 추출한 풍향 자료와 후방산란계수 값을 입력하여 풍속을 산출한다. 이 때 풍속은 CMOD5 모델에 풍향의 값을 적용하여 추할 수 있다. CMOD5 모델에 사용할 Azimuth angle 값은 SAR 자료로부터 구해지는 Look angle 값에 $90^{\circ}$를 더 함으로써 구해진다. SAR 영상으로부터 구한 파향 스펙트럼 은 항상 파향에 있어서 $180^{\circ}$의 상반된 두 정점을 보여주는데 이는 영상에 적용한 2차원 FPT의 결과이다. 파향에 있어서의 이러한 모호성은 육지의 위치라든지, 바람의 방향 혹은 수치모델 결과 등을 이용하여 결정하여야 한다. 이러한 2D-FFT를 통해 구해진 풍향은 실측자료와 $3^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}$ 정도의 차이를 나타내고 있다. CMOD5 모델을 통해 얻어진 풍속의 값은 각각 실측자료와 2m/s 이하의 유사한 값들을 나타냈다.

본 연구는 2010년 9월 2일 강한 바람으로 우리나라 중부 지방에 영향을 미친 제7호 태풍 곤파스로 인해 피해를 입은 홍릉수목원 내 풍도목을 대상으로 풍도목의 특징, 임내 외 풍향 및 풍속의 특징을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 풍도목은 피해 유형에 따라 바람에 쓰러진 나무, 기울어진 나무, 수간이 부러진 나무 등 크게 세 가지로 구분하여 조사하였다. 바람이 불기 시작한 9월 2일 04시부터 바람이 완전히 멎은 12시까지의 풍속을 분석한 결과, 임내 평균풍속과 순간최대풍속은 각각 1.4 m/s와 3.5 m/s 이었으며, 06시 10분 임내 평균풍속과 순간최대풍속이 각각 3.4 m/s와 8.7 m/s로 최고치를 기록하였다. 곤파스의 피해를 받은 2010년 9월 2일과 강풍주의보가 발효되었던 과거 5일(2009년 2월 13일, 2월 20일, 4월 21일, 10월 16일, 2010년 3월 20일)의 평균풍속 차이와 파동을 비교 분석한 결과, 풍도목 발생 원인은 바람의 세기보다는 단위시간당 바람파동횟수와 관련이 깊은 것으로 사료된다. 풍향 분석 결과 임내 평균풍향은 방위각 $112.5^{\circ}{\sim}180^{\circ}$(ESE-SE-SSE-S)와 $247.5^{\circ}$(WSW) 방향에서 불어 들어왔으며, 임내 외 순간 최대풍향 모두 방위각 $157.5^{\circ}$(SSE) 방향에서 강하게 불어 들어왔다. 풍도목의 도복 방향과 위치를 분석한 결과 84.0%의 풍도목이 방위각 $270^{\circ}{\sim}22.5^{\circ}$(W-WNW-NW-NNW-N-NNE) 방향으로 쓰러졌으며, 97.3%의 풍도목이 완경사지(경사 $15^{\circ}$ 미만)와 경사지(경사 $15^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}$)에서 발생하였다. 풍도목 중 침엽수가 45.3%를 차지했고, 활엽수가 54.7%를 차지하였으나, 임상별로 보면 풍도목은 활엽수림보다 침엽수림과 혼효림에서 주로 발생한 것으로 나타났다.

A numerical study with Envi-met model is experimented to investigate the characteristics of wind pattern in apartment complex. In all case, most conditions such as wind speed, temperature, and surface features are considered as the same, but wind direction is the only different factor. The wind directions considered in this study have a meaning of prevailing wind direction. When the prevailing wind with the direction of $170^{\circ}$ blows into the complex, the ventilation passage toward the outside of complex is formed and the stagnation of air is not expressed. In case of having the direction of $300^{\circ}$, most evident ventilation passages are composed. When the inflow wind direction is the northeast, $30^{\circ}$, there is some possibility of stagnation phenomenon. This is because the arrangement of buildings makes a right angle with the inflow wind direction.

The existence of a dam has potential effects on the surrounding wind environment especially when it is located in mountainous areas. In this situation, the long-span bridge over the reservoir can easily be exposed to non-uniform incoming flows, affecting its wind-resistance performance. This paper presents a study on the aerostatic stability of such a bridge. Wind tunnel tests were first carried out to investigate the wind environment above a mountainous reservoir. The results show that the angle of attack and the wind speed along the bridge axis show obvious non-uniform characteristics, which is related to the inflow direction. When winds come from the south where the river is winding, the angle of attack varies along the span direction significantly. The finite element model for the bridge was established using ANSYS software, and effects of non-uniform wind loads on the aerostatic stability were computed. Non-uniform angle of attack and wind speed are unfavorable to the aerostatic stability of the bridge, especially the former. When the combined action of non-uniform angle of attack and wind speed is considered, the critical wind speed of aerostatic instability is further reduced. Moreover, the aerostatic stability of the bridge is closely related to the dam height.

In this study the AWS was installed in three areas to analyze creation and characteristics of local wind circulation through observation. According to the result, in night time when mountain wind is well developed showed temperature in A area located in Dalbigol valley and B area adjacent with the valley was lower than C area located in the lowland of the center of city by $1.5\sim4^{\circ}C$. The wind speed was also shown two times stronger than C area. In addition, in terms of wind direction, A and B areas showed east wind consistently according to topographic shapes of Dalbigol valley with high altitude and residential sites of lowland with low altitude. Although the C area didn't show big changes in wind direction due to the effects of city structures, east wind is often seen so mountain wind from Dalbigol valley is found to have an effect at least. Through the analysis of temperature, wind speed, and wind direction, nigh time showed relatively cold mountain wind blew following Dalbigol valley, throughout residential sites and to the center of city with lowland. During the daytime, the temperature in the city with lowland and residential sites is constantly higher than A area located in Dalbigol valley, and strong wind speed following Dalbigol valley, and three areas have $200\sim300^{\circ}$ of main wind direction, so west valley wind throughout the city with lowland and following Dalbigol is clearly formed.

Wind tunnel tests of a 1/2200-scale mountainous terrain model have been carried out to investigate local wind characteristics at a bridge location in southeast Tibet, China. Flows at five key locations on the bridge at deck level were measured for 26 directions. It was observed that wind characteristics (including mean wind velocity and overall turbulence intensity) vary significantly depending on the approaching wind direction and measurement position. The wind inclination angle measured in the study fluctuated between $-18^{\circ}$ and $+16^{\circ}$ and the ratio of mean wind velocity to reference wind velocity was small when the wind inclination angles were large, especially for positive wind inclination angles. The design standard wind speed and the minimum critical wind speed for flutter rely on the wind inclination angle and should be determined from the results of such tests. The variation of wind speed with wind inclination angles should be of the asymmetry step type. The turbulence characteristics of the wind were found to be similar to real atmospheric flows.

Investigations on modeling methods of a CFD wind resource prediction program, WindSim for a ccurate predictions of wind speeds were performed with the field measurements. Meteorological Masts having heights of 40m and 50m were installed at two different sites in complex terrain. The wind speeds and direction were monitored from sensors installed on the masts and recorded for one year. Modeling parameters of WindSim input variables for accurate predictions of wind speeds were investigated by performing cross predictions of wind speeds at the masts using the measured data. Four parameters that most affect the wind speed prediction in WindSim including the size of a topographical map, cell sizes in x and y direction, height distribution factors, and the roughness lengths were studied to find out more suitable input parameters for better wind speed predictions. The parameters were then applied to WindSim to predict the wind speed of another location in complex terrain in Korea for validation. The predicted annual wind speeds were compared with the averaged measured data for one year from meteorological masts installed for this study, and the errors were within 6.9%. The results of the proposed practical study are believed to be very useful to give guidelines to wind engineers for more accurate prediction results and time-saving in predicting wind speed of complex terrain that will be used to predict annual energy production of a virtual wind farm in complex terrain.

In this paper, the effect of the turbulence intensity in across-wind direction on the wind load in CFD(Computational fluid dynamics) simulation was analyzed. 'Ansys fluent' software was used for CFD simulation. And the fluctuating wind speed applied to the simulation was generated according to Korean Design Standard and Von Karman wind turbulence model. The turbulence intensity in across-wind direction for simulation was applied from 0 to 100% of the turbulence intensity in along-wind direction. The analysis results showed that the turbulence intensity in across-wind direction had a particularly great effect on the wind load in across-wind direction.
