A wind energy assessment is an integrated analysis of the potential of wind energy resources of a particular area. In this work, the wind energy potentials for Mauritius have been assessed using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. The approach employed in this work aims to enhance the assessment of wind energy potentials for the siting of large-scale wind farms in the island. Validation of the model is done by comparing simulated wind speed data to experimental ones measured at specific locations over the island. The local wind velocity resulting from the CFD simulations are used to compute the weighted-sum power density including annual directional inflow variations determined by wind roses. The model is used to generate contour maps of velocity and power, for Mauritius at a resolution of 500 m.

Wind load characteristics is investigated for vibration analysis of wind turbine gearbox. A normal wind model assumed, of which the wind velocity is increased according to the height from ground. A blast wind model is assumed, of which the maximum velocity is located at the center and the velocity profile is normally distributed. The periodical torque and bending moments transmitted to the main shaft of wind turbine are investigated. The average values and the harmonic terms of the transmitted moments are studied on the wind direction of range $-45^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$ and the bending moment characteristics are examined, which is regarded as the main source of the misalignment of gear train.

대규모 해상풍력단지 개발을 위한 입지 적합성을 효과적으로 확보하기 위해서는 개발로 인한 환경영향을 최소화하고 사회적·생태적·경제적 핵심가치에 대한 편익 상충에 대한 분석이 필수적이다. 또한 해양공간계획상 타 용도구역과 충돌하지 않도록 입지 적정성에 대한 사전검토가 반드시 선행되어야 하며, 추가로 전남 해역 인근의 풍력자원을 포함한 국지적인 기상 특성 분석도 사업타당성 조사 이전에 수행되어야 할 필요가 있다. 이에 영광군 안마도 인근 왕등여에 설치된 기상탑의 관측자료를 활용하여 풍력자원분석을 수행하였고, 해상풍력 단지 입지 관련 지리적 제약조건을 배제한 후 최적 입지구역을 선정하였다. 또한, 국지적 풍력자원 특성에 적합한 풍력단지 최적배치 결과를 WindSim 기반으로 도출하여 연간발전량을 산출하였으며, 향후 해상풍력 프로젝트의 입지발굴 및 적합지 선정에 기초연구자료로 활용하고자 한다.

Wind turbine noise become main environmental problem as wind energy have been installed all around. Noise from large wind turbine give annoyance to listener, moreover it increase loading to whole system by restricting blade tip speed. However accurate noise mechanism of wind turbine is not yet examined. This paper reviewed noise source and analysis theory. Broadband noise if main component of wind turbine noise and airfoil self noise is main noise source. These make acoustic analogy hard to apply for analysis. For this reason, experimental equation is method for wind turbine noise prediction up to now. Spectrum analysis shows that vortex shedding noise exists around $1k{\sim}2k$ Hz. This region is most sensitive frequency range to human. Thus it is necessary to reduce this noise source.

The importance of power system stability has been emphasized with an increase of wind energy penetration in the power system. Accordingly, the guarantee on various control capabilities, including active and reactive power control of wind farms, was regarded as the most important aspect for the connection to the grid. To control the wind farm active power, the wind farm controller was introduced. The wind farm controller decides the power set points for each wind turbine generating unit and each wind turbine generating unit controls its power according to the set points from the wind farm controller. Therefore, co-relationship between wind farm controller and wind turbine controllers are significantly important. This paper proposes some control methods of wind farm active power control based on modified wind turbine control for power system stability and structures to connect wind turbine controllers to wind farm controller. Besides, this paper contributes to development of control algorithm considering not only electrical components but also mechanical components. The proposed contributions were verified by full simulation including power electronics and turbulent wind speed. The scenario refers to the active power control regulations of the Eltra and Elkraft system in Denmark.

This paper presents a ride-through skill of PMSG wind turbine system under the distorted and unbalanced grid voltage dips. When voltage dips occur in the grid, pitch control and generator speed control as well as a parallel resistor of DC-link help to keep the turbine's safety. Modern grid code requires a wind turbine to supply reactive currents to help voltage recovery after grid faults clearance. In order to supply reactive currents to the grid in case of the distortedly unbalanced grid voltage dips, a special PLL is needed to control the grid side converter and to regulate the grid voltages symmetrically. The proposed method is applied to 2MW multi-pole PMSG wind turbine system, and verified by simulation.

The surface circulation of northern South China Sea (hereafter SCS) for the period 1987-2005 was studied using the data of more than 500 satellite-tracked drifters and wind data from QuikSCAT. The mean flow directions in the northern SCS except the Luzon Strait (here after LS) during the periods October_March was southwestward, and $April{\sim}September$ northeastward. A strong northwestward intrusion of the Kuroshio through the LS appears during the $October{\sim}March$ period of northeasterly wind, but the intrusion became weak between April and September. When the strong intrusion occurred, the eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the LS was $388cm^2/s^2$ which was almost 2 times higher than that during the weak-intrusion season. The volume transport of the Kuroshio in the east of the Philippines shows an inverse relationship to that of the LS. There is a six-month phase shift between the two seasonal phenomena. The volume transport in the east of the Philippines shows its peak sis-month earlier faster than that of the LS. The strong Kuroshio intrusion is found to be also related to the seasonal variation of the wind stress curl generated by the north easterly wind. The negative wind stress curl in the northern part of LS induces an anticyclonic flow, while the positive wind stress curl in the southern part of LS induces a cyclonic flow. The northwestward Kuroshio intrusion in the northern part of LS happened with larger negative wind stress curl, while the westward intrusion along $20.5^{\circ}N$ in the center of the LS occurred with weaker negative wind stress curl.

본 연구는 인천해안지역의 난온대성 상록활엽수 겨울철 생장에 영향을 미치는 미기후 요인을 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 도출하였다. 인천 해안지역 서구 오류동~남동구 고잔동의 온량지수는 $98.9^{\circ}C{\cdot}month{\sim}109.0^{\circ}C{\cdot}month$이었고, 1월 평균기온 $-2.9^{\circ}C{\sim}-1.6^{\circ}C$, 최한월 최저기온 $-13.9^{\circ}C{\sim}-3.6^{\circ}C$ 수준으로, 상록활엽수 분포기준인 온량지수 $101.0^{\circ}C{\cdot}month{\sim}117.0^{\circ}C{\cdot}month$, 최한월 최저기온 $-9.2^{\circ}C$이하로 상록활엽수가 생장하기 부적합한 지역으로 나타났다. 상록활엽수가 생장하는 공간에 도달하는 풍속의 저감정도와 가온효과에 대한 시뮬레이션을 실시한 결과, 상록활엽수 생장공간에서는 겨울 북서풍이 건축물 등에 의해 해안풍속이 8.6m/sec에서 도달풍속은 5~7m/sec로 완화되었고, 건축물 1m 이내에서는 건축물 복사에너지의 영향으로 $1.1^{\circ}C{\sim}3.4^{\circ}C$ 가량의 가온효과가 나타났다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 상록활엽수의 겨울철 생장피해에 영향을 미치는 기후요소는 풍속으로, 차폐에 의한 풍속저감과 함께 건축물에 의한 국부적 가온효과가 상록활엽수의 겨울생장이 가능한 것으로 추정되었다. 또한 인천 해안지역에 생장하고 있는 상록활엽수는 중부지방의 겨울철 저온에 점진적으로 식물이 적응하는 순화의 과정으로 판단할 수 있었고, 기온이 $-18.0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 겨울한파에 견디는 내동능력과 바람에 의한 증발산을 견딜 수 있는 동건해(凍乾害)에 내성이 상록활엽수 겨울 생장을 좌우하는 것으로 나타났다.

To predict annual energy production (AEP) accurately in the wind farm where located in Seongsan, Jeju Island, Equivalent wind speed (EQ) which can consider vertical wind shear well than Hub height wind speed (HB) is calculated. AEP is produced by CFD model WindSim from National wind resource map. EQ shows a tendency to be underestimated about 2.7% (0.21 m/s) than HB. The difference becomes to be large at nighttime when wind shear is large. EQ can be also affected by atmospheric stability so that is classified by wind shear exponent (${\alpha}$). AEP is increased by 11% when atmosphere becomes to be stabilized (${\alpha}$ > 0.2) than it is convective (${\alpha}$ < 0.1). However, it is found that extreme wind shear (${\alpha}$ > 0.3) is hazardous for power generation. This results represent that AEP calculated by EQ can provide improved accuracy to short-term wind power forecast and wind resource assessment.
