The superconducting synchronous generator is one of the breakthrough elements for direct-drive wind turbines because it is light and small. Normally the superconducting one has copper armature windings in the stator and superconducting field windings on the rotor. The high resistance of the armature can make large copper losses, comparing with the conventional generators with a gear box. One of the solutions for the large copper losses could be a fully superconducting generator. But the high magnetic fields from the superconducting field windings on the rotor also make high perpendicular magnetic fields on the superconducting tapes in the armature windings. We have proposed a fully superconducting synchronous generator with dual field windings. It could immensely decrease the circumferential component of the magnetic field from the field windings at the armature windings. In this paper, we conceptually designed 3 types of superconducting synchronous generators. The first one is the fully superconducting one with conventional structure, which has superconducting armature windings in the stator and superconducting field windings on the rotor. The second one is the one with dual superconducting field windings and superconducting armature windings between them. The last one is the same as the third one except the structure of the armature. If the concentrated armature windings are superconducting ones with cryostats, then they cannot be installed within the span of 2 poles. So, we adopted 3 phases windings within 4 poles system. It makes more AC losses but can be manufactured really.

Due to the oil price is increasing continuously, active researches on sources of renewable energy has been invigorated. Above all, ocean energy has high-usability because of ocean current has high density and large quantity compared to the wind energy. In this paper, efficiency enhancement of the wave power generation was described through horizontal plate installation at the break water wave power generation system that converts the ocean energy into electricity. The power-conversion efficiency can be improved by horizontal plate installation at existing system, but there has been insufficient studies domestically. The purpose of this paper is to analyze about the effects of the horizontal plate installation on the breakwater wave power generation system by wave basin experiment and to propose a position of horizontal plate installation.

In recent years, the power demand has been increasing steadily and the occurrence of maximum power demand has been moving from the summer season to the winter season in Korea. And since the control of electric power supply and demand is more important under those situations, a micro-grid system began to emerge as a keyword for the sTable operation of electric power system. A micro-gird power system is composed of various kinds of distributed generators(DG) such as small diesel generator, wind turbine, photo-voltaic generator and energy storage system(ESS). This paper introduces a method to determine the optimal capacities of the distributed generators which are installed in a stand-alone type of microgrid power system based on the fundamental proportion of diesel generator. At first, the fundamental proportion of diesel generator will be determined by changing from 0 to 50 percent. And then we will optimize the capacities of renewable energy resources and ESS according to load patterns. Lastly, after recalculating the capacity of ESS with consideration for SOC constraints, the optimal capacities of distributed generators will be decided.

Filament winding process is a comparatively simple operation in which continuous reinforcements in the form of roving are wound over a rotating mandrel. And now it is well established as a versatile method for storage tanks and pipe for the chemical and other industries. In this study, tensile strength of a filament wound ring specimens were evaluated by split disk test fixture and dress disk test fixture. The results obtained from experiments were compared with the theoretical values obtained by the rule of mixture. And the purpose of this paper is to suggest an appropriate test method for the evaluation of tensile properties of filament wound structures. The tensile strength of a ring specimens tested by the dress disk test showed better agreement with the theoretical values than of a ring specimen tested by the split disk test because the stress concentration in edges of s split disk test fixture is more severe than the that of dress disk test fixture. The results showed that the tensile strength of a ring specimen was influenced by the geometry of test fixture, the continuity of fibers, fiber-tension, fiber-end and stress concentration in specimen.

The purpose of this paper is that investigates the dynamic behavior characteristic of W.T.S(Wind turbine System) and carries out the evaluation analysis during operating W.T.S. To investigate the dynamic behavior characteristic of W.T.S, the experiments to measure vibration of the blade from the attached accelerometer on the flap and edge section of the blade that is one of the most important elements of dynamic characteristic of W.T.S are performed. Natural frequency and mode shape are calculated with commercial program (ANSYS) using the measured vibration acceleration that receives the signal with F.F.T Analyzer from the accelerometer. For validation of these experiments, the finite element analysis is performed with commercial F.E.M program (ANSYS) on the basis of the natural frequency and mode shape. The results indicate that experimental values have good agreements with the finite element analysis.

신재생에너지는 기후변화협약 및 화석연료의 고갈 등으로 인해 전력계통으로의 도입 필요성은 증가하고 있으나 경제성 부재로 인해 도입 시 많은 제약이 있었다. 그러나 최근 풍력발전기의 경제성이 확보되고 있는 추세이며 일부 유럽 국가를 중심으로 전력계통에 연계하여 운전하고 있다. 특히 스페인의 경우 풍력발전기의 발전량을 예측하는 시스템을 개발하여 풍력발전량의 간헐적인 출력 특성을 보완하고 이용 효율을 향상시킬 수 있도록 다른 발전설비와 연계하여 전력계통을 운영하고 있으며, 풍력발전량을 고려한 예비력을 산정함으로써 경제적이고 안정적인 전력계통을 유지하고 있다. 또한 풍력발전기의 간헐적인 출력 특성을 보완하기 위해 에너지저장장치와의 협조 운영 가능한 시스템을 구축하는 사례가 증가하고 있으며 우리나라의 제주 스마트그리드 실증사업의 Smart Renewable이 이와 같은 경우라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기계학습이론 중 하나인 SVR을 이용한 풍력발전량 예측 시스템을 개발에 대해 기술하였으며, 행원14호기의 풍력발전량 이력데이터를 이용하여 풍력발전량 예측을 수행하였다.

In this study, the 750㎾ scale composite blade for the horizontal axis wind turbine system was designed and manufactured, and it was tested and evaluated by the specific structural test rig. In the test, it was found that local bucklings at the trailing edge of the blade and excessive deflections at the blade tip were happened. In order to solve these problems, the design of blade structure was modified. after improving the design, the abrupt change of deflection at the blade tip was reduced by smooth variation of the spar thickness and the local buckling was removed by extending the web length. The modified design was analyzed by the FEM, the safety and stability of th blade structure.

The monopile-friction wheel hybrid foundation is an innovative solution for offshore structures which are mainly subjected to large lateral eccentric load induced by winds, waves, and currents during their service life. This paper presents an extensive numerical analysis to investigate the lateral load and moment bearing performances of hybrid foundation, considering various potential influencing factors in sand-overlaying-clay soil deposits, with the complex lateral loads being simplified into a resultant lateral load acting at a certain height above the mudline. Finite element models are generated and validated against experimental data where very good agreements are obtained. The failure mechanisms of hybrid foundations under lateral loading are illustrated to demonstrate the effect of the friction wheel in the hybrid system. Parametric study shows that the load bearing performances of the hybrid foundation is significantly dependent of wheel diameter, pile embedment depth, internal friction angle of sand, loading eccentricity (distance from the load application point to the ground level), and the thickness of upper sandy layer. Simplified empirical formulae is proposed based on the numerical results to predict the corresponding lateral load and moment bearing capacities of the hybrid foundation for design application.
