This paper addresses linear quadratic regulation (LQR) for variable speed variable pitch wind turbines. Because of the inherent nonlinearity of wind turbines, a set of operating conditions is identified and then a LQR controller is designed for each of the operating points. The feedback controller gains are then interpolated linearly to get a control law for the entire operating region. In addition, the aerodynamic torque and effective wind speed are estimated online to get the gain-scheduling variable for implementing the controller. The potential of this method is verified through simulation with the help of MATLAB/Simulink and GH Bladed. The performance and mechanical load when using LQR are also compared with those obtained when using a PI controller.

This study investigates the applicability of the direct identification of flutter derivatives in the time domain using Rational Function Approximation (RFA), where the extraction procedure requires either a combination of at least two wind speeds or one wind speed. In the frequency domain, flutter derivatives are identified at every wind speed. The ease of identifying flutter derivatives in the time domain creates a paradox because flutter derivative patterns sometimes change in higher-order polynomials. The first step involves a numerical study of RFA extractions for different deck shapes from existing bridges to verify the accurate wind speed combination for the extraction. The second step involves validating numerical simulation results through a wind tunnel experiment using the forced vibration method in one degree of freedom. The findings of the RFA extraction are compared to those obtained using the analytical solution. The numerical study and the wind tunnel experiment results are in good agreement. The results show that the evolution pattern of flutter derivatives determines the accuracy of the direct identification of RFA.

A numerical analysis method for predicting aerodynamic noise at inter-coach space of high-speed trains, validated by wind-tunnel experiments for limited speed range, is proposed. The wind-tunnel testing measurements of the train aerodynamic sound pressure level for the new generation Korean high-speed train have suggested that the inter-coach space aerodynamic noise varies approximately to the 7.7th power of the train speed. The observed high sensitivity serves as a motivation for the present investigation on elucidating the characteristics of noise emission at inter-coach space. As train speed increases, the effect of turbulent flows and vortex shedding is amplified, with concomitant increase in the aerodynamic noise. The turbulent flow field analysis demonstrates that vortex formation indeed causes generation of aerodynamic sound. For validation, numerical simulation and wind tunnel measurements are performed under identical conditions. The results show close correlation between the numerically derived and measured values, and with some adjustment, the results are found to be in good agreement. Thus validated, the numerical analysis procedure is applied to predict the aerodynamic noise level at inter-coach space. As the train gains speed, numerical simulation predicts increase in the overall aerodynamic sound emission level accompanied by an upward shift in the main frequency components of the sound. A contour mapping of the aerodynamic sound for the region enclosing the inter-coach space is presented.

풍력터빈의 토크제어는 정격풍속 이하에서 매우 중요하다. 토크제어의 주된 목적은 바람이 가진 공기역학적 파워로부터 최대의 파워를 얻도록 하는 것이다. 풍력터빈의 토크제어 방법은 토크모드 제어와 속도모드 제어로 크게 두 경우로 구분된다. 토크모드 제어는 풍력터빈에서 잘 알려지고 전통적으로 사용되는 방법으로 발전기 회전속도의 제곱에 비례하도록 발전기의 토크크기를 발생시킨다. 속도모드 제어에서는 발전기의 토크크기를 발생하기 위하여 PI 제어기를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 풍속이 난류인 점을 고려하여 2.75 MW 풍력터빈을 대상으로 두 토크제어 방법을 적용한 수치실험 결과를 제시하고 응답특성을 비교한다.

In order to identify positive or negative effect of seawall on wind turbine, a wind tunnel experiment has been conducted with a 1/100 scaled-down model of Goonsan wind farm which is located in West coast along seawall. Wind speedup due to the slope of seawall contributed to about 3% increment of area-averaged wind speed on rotor-plane of a wind turbine which is anticipated to augment wind power generation. From the turbulence measurement and flow visualization, it was confirmed that there would be no negative effect due to flow separation because its influence is confined below wind turbine blades' sweeping height.

This paper proposes the implementation of robust fuzzy controller for designing intelligent wind farm and mitiagating the fluctuation of wind power generator. The existing researches are limited to individual wind turbine with variable speed so that it is necessary to study the multi-agent wind turbine power system. The scopes of these studies include from the arrangements of each power turbine to the control algorithms for the wind farm. For solving these problems, we introduce the composition of intelligent wind farm and use the T-S (Takagi-Sugeno) fuzzy model which is suitable for designing fuzzy controller. The control object in wind farm enables the minimizing the fluctuation of wind power generator. Simulation results for wind fram which is modelled as mathematically are demonstrated to visualize the feasibility of the proposed method.

For the purpose of more effective simulation of the utility interactive WPGS(Wind Power Generation System) the SWRW (Simulation method for WPGS using Real Weather condition) is used in this paper, in which those of three topics for the WPGS simulation. user-friendly method, applicability to grid-connection and the utilization of the real weather conditions, are satisfied. The simulation of the WPGS using the real weather condition including components modeling of wind turbine system is achieved by introducing the interface method of a non-linear external parameter and FORTRAN using PSCAD/EMTDC. The simulations of steady-state and transient-state are performed effectively by the introduced simulation method. The generator output and current supplied into utility can be obtained by the steady-state simulation, and THD can be achieved by analyzing the results as well. The transient - state of the WPGS can be analyzed by the simulation results of over cut-out wind speed.

Wind is a significant and valuable renewable energy resource. It is safe and abundant and can make an important contribution to future clean, sustainable and diversified electricity supplies. Unlike other sources of energy, wind does not pollute the atmosphere nor create any hazardous waste. In some countries wind energy is already competitive with fossil and nuclear power even without accounting for the environmental benefits of wind power. The cost of electricity from conventional power stations does not usually take full account of its environmental impact (acid rain, oil slick clean up, the effects of climate change, etc). In this paper, a transient phenomenon simulation method for Wind Power Generation System(WPGS) under real weather conditions has been proposed. The simulation method is expected to be able to analyze easily under various conditions with considering the sort of wind turbine, the capacity of system and the converter system. Wind turbine connected to the synchronous generator and power converter was simulated.

국내 서해대교, 인천대교와 같은 장대교량은 대부분 빈번하게 태풍에 의해 영향을 받는 해안에 위치하였으며, 교량의 길이가 긴 만큼 풍하중에 의한 영향이 다른 하중에 비해 상대적으로 크기 때문에 내풍 안정성을 확보하기 위해 정확한 설계풍속을 산정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 태풍의 기후학적 특성 인자로 중심기압깊이, 태풍이동속도, 태풍이동방향, 최단접근거리를 결정하였으며, 태풍의 기후학적 특성들의 확률 분포를 추정하고, 바람장 모형과 중심기압상승 모형을 적용하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 대체적으로 제주도와 남해안 지역의 재현기간 풍속이 크게 나오며 고위도로 갈수록 작아지는 특징을 나타냈다. 이와 같은 특징이 나타난 가장 큰 원인은 고위도 분석지점 표본 태풍의 중심기압이 저위도 분석지점 표본 태풍의 중심기압보다 높기 때문으로 판단되며, 또한 우리나라에 해상에서 육지로 이동하면서 쇠퇴기를 겪어 점차 약해지기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 시뮬레이션 결과를 도로교 설계기준 100년 재현기간 풍속(10분 평균, 지상 10m, 지표조도 II)과 비교한 결과, 태풍시뮬레이션의 결과가 낮게 나타났으며, 이러한 점을 볼 때 도로교 설계기준의 기본 풍속이 높게 산정되어 있다고 판단되며, 기상자료 분석과 같은 추가적인 연구를 통해 기본풍속 조정에 대한 연구가 수행 되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
