With growing of wind turbine industry, offshore wind energy is getting more attention in recent years. Among all the components of offshore wind turbines, the foundation of the offshore wind turbine plays a key role in stability of whole system. In this work, the 5 MW NREL reference wind turbine with rated speed of 11.4 m/s is used for load calculation. Wind and wave loads are calculated using GH-Bladed (Garard Hassan) and FAST (NREL). Additionally, FE simulation is carried out to investigate the wave effect on the support structure. Meanwhile, this work is to simulate systemic and optimized load cases for the foundation analysis of wind turbine system.

세계 각국은 신재생 에너지 가운데 해상풍력 발전에 국가적 역량을 집중하면서 해상풍력 터빈의 용량을 대형화하고 있다. 특히 해상풍력 터빈은 부피와 중량이 큰 특징이 있어 육상운송에 어려움이 있어 해상풍력 전용항만이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 해상풍력 단지가 성공적으로 조성 및 운영될 수 있도록 최적의 전용항만 입지선정에 영향을 끼치는 평가항목을 분석하여 국가정책 의사결정에 올바른 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Fuzzy-AHP 기법을 적용하여 평가항목 별 중요도를 도출하였다. 평가항목은 수준 I에서는 5가지, 즉 집적 요인, 지역 요인, 경제 요인, 입지 요인, 컨소시엄 요인이 선정되었다. 이 가운데 집적 요인 37.4%, 입지 요인 34.2%, 경제 요인 24.5%가 주요한 항목으로 분석되었다. 그리고 수준 II에서는 각 요인에 3가지 항목이 선정되어 모두 15개 평가항목이 선정되었다. 분석 결과를 보면, 해상풍력 전용항만 입지 선정에 있어서 핵심적으로 고려되어야 할 항목은 풍력산업의 집적도, 항만운영의 경제성을 확보하는 물동량 규모, 해상풍력 관련 산업의 발달 정도, 그리고 개발될 해상풍력 단지와의 근접성으로 나타났다. 즉 해상풍력 전용항만 건설은 항만건설 측면과 해상풍력 터빈 제조기업의 입지 선호지역을 복합적으로 고려해야 한다는 의미이다. 따라서 정부가 해상풍력 전용항만을 건설함에 있어서 풍력터빈 제조기업의 의견을 충분히 반영하는 것이 요구된다.

In recent years, many countries have been endeavoring to exploit the offshore wind energy in terms of overcoming the limitations of on-land wind energy. Considering that mountains cover 70 percent of the Korean Peninsula and arable plains for wind energy are negligibly small, Korean government aggressively drives the offshore wind development of the Korean Peninsula. As part of preliminary investigation of offshore wind resources, KEPCO-RI (Korea Electric Power Corporation-Research Institute) has been analyzing marine buoy datasets measured at 5 positions over the period of 12 years, including estimation of extreme wind speed. It can be observed that variation of yearly wind speed, monthly wind speed as well as frequency distribution of wind direction. Wind classes of buoy sites are estimated by extrapolated average wind speed using log law. In addition, wind turbine class based on IEC code is assessed for evaluation of suitable wind turbine.

Wind load is one of the major design loads for the hull and mooring of offshore floating structures, especially due to much larger windage area above water than under water. By virtue of extreme design philosophy, fully turbulent flow assumption can be justified and the hydrodynamic characteristics of the flow remain almost constant which implies the wind load is less sensitive to the Reynolds number around the design wind speed than wind profile. In the perspective of meteorology, wind profile used for wind load estimation is a part of Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), especially maritime ABL (MBL) and have been studied how to implement the profile without losing turbulence properties numerically by several researchers. In this study, the MBL is implemented using an open source CFD toolkit, OpenFOAM and extended to unstable ABL as well as neutral ABL referred to as NPD profile. The homogeneity of the wind profile along wind direction is examined, especially with NPD profile. The NPD profile was applied to a semi-submersible rig and estimated wind load was compared with the results from wind tunnel test.

세계 에너지 소비와 에너지 수요가 급격히 증가함에 따라 환경문제와 지속가능성에 대한 관심이 요즘 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 신재생에너지 중 해상풍력발전과 같은 깨끗하고 재생가능한 에너지자원은 대체에너지 자원으로 주목받고 있다. 유지보수 및 운영상의 관점에서 해상풍력발전은 일반적으로 연근해해역에 설치될 계획이지만 해상풍력발전단지의 개발은 계획된 풍력단지를 따라 기존의 해상교통으로부터 다양한 해상교통 간섭에 직면해 있는 실정이다. 해상풍력발전단지 인근해역 및 단지 내에서 해상교통을 안전하고 효과적으로 통제하기 위해 선박이 해상풍력단지 내에서 통항할 수 있도록 표준 기준을 제안한다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 국외 해상풍력발전단지의 현지 규정을 조사하여 해상풍력발전단지에 대한 선박통항 허용 및 안전구역 기준을 수립 하는데 있다. 풍력단지의 내측 안전구역은 풍력터빈 날개 회전직경의 150 %를 적용한 거리와 외측안전구역으로는 외곽에 위치한 풍력터빈으로부터 200 m의 범위의 거리를 제시하였으며, 또한 풍력단지 내 선박통항 허용기준은 풍력터빈 날개의 높이와 조위를 평가하여 향후 서남해 해상풍력발전단지의 실증단지 해역에서 Air draft 14.47 m가 선체 접촉을 피할 수 있는 최소 마진을 가진 기준을 제시하였다. 향후 연구과제로서, 단일 해상풍력단지 내의 선박 통항 기준과 더불어 인접한 해상풍력단지 간의 선박통항 기준마련을 위한 후속연구가 필요하다.

Offshore wind farm is being increased since there are much trouble to develop onshore wind farm. But in the offshore, wind turbine wake does not dissipate less than onshore wind turbine because of low turbulence level. Thus this remained wake interacted to other wind turbine. This interaction reduces energy production in wind farm and have a bad influence on fatigue load of wind turbine. In this research, CFD model was constructed to analyze wake effect in offshore wind farm. A method that wind turbine rotor region was modelled in porous media was devised to reduce computation load and validated by comparison with Horns Rev measurement. Then wake interaction between two wind turbine was analyzed by devised porous model.

The purpose of this study was to analyze traffic safety assessments for fishing vessels near the southwest offshore wind farm. This study applied a collision model for safety assessment. It also involved a spatiotemporal analysis of vessels engaged in fishing to identify fishing hotspots around the offshore wind farm. This study used data from fishing vessel location transmission devices gathered over 1 year in 2014. As a result, in September, when the average number of vessels engaged in fishing is high, 62 ships were operating in fishing section 184-6 and 55 ships in section 184-6. In addition, in fishing sections 184-8 and 192-2, where an offshore wind farm was located, there were 55 and 38 ships operating, respectively. As the recovery period for a seaway near wind farm turbines is 55 years, it was determined that safety measures are required in order to reduce collision frequency while allowing fishing vessels to navigate through offshore wind farms. Meanwhile, the return period of Seaway B between the groups of generators considered was 184 years. A safety zone for offshore wind farms should be installed covering a distance of at least 0.3 NM from the boundary of turbines. Then, the collision return period was derived to be close to 100 years. Through this traffic safety assessment, it has been concluded that such measures would help prevent marine accidents.

Developing the offshore wind farm is essential to meet the national target of the renewable energy and to achieve the green growth in Korea. In this context, KEPRI is now carrying the feasibility study for introducing the offshore wind fam in Korea. Accordingly, it is required to formulate an appropriate strategy, this paper mainly discuss, for this goal. First of all, several preliminary sites for the offshore wind farm are selected based on the evaluation criteria presented herein. In addition, the domestic sub-technological level of key technology sectors associated with the offshore wind power is analyzed. It includes the industries related to wind turbine, grid integration, structural design and construction. Integrating these results, we propose a strategy in order to successfully develop the first offshore wind farm more than 100-MW class in the south-western sea area of Korea.

Offshore wind energy is gaining more attention. Ensuring proper design of offshore wind turbines and wind farms require knowledge of the external conditions in which the turbines and associated facilities are to operate. In this work, a three-bladed 5MW upwind wind turbine, which is supported by the monopile foundation, is studied by use of fully coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic commercial simulation tool, 'GH-Bladed'$^{(R)}$. Specification of the structures are chosen from the OC3 (Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration) under "IEA Wind Annex XXIII-subtask2". The primary external conditions due to wind and waves are simulated. Design Load case 5.2 is investigated in this work. The steady state power curve and power production loads are evaluated. Comparison between different codes is made.

해상풍력발전은 경관 및 소음 등의 문제 및 풍황자원 고갈로 인한 사업부지 확보가 어려운 육상풍력발전의 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 해상풍력은 해상에 풍력터빈을 세우기 때문에 경관 훼손이나 소음으로 인한 민원발생이 적고 상대적으로 풍황자원이 풍부하기 때문에 발전생산성이 높다. 그러나 육상풍력에 비해 해상풍력은 설치비가 높아 경제성이 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 높은 설치비는 해상작업에 필요한 대형장비의 대여기간과 높은 대여료에서 기인하는데, 본 논문에서는 대형 해상장비의 사용을 최소화하여 설치할 수 있는 해상풍력 지지구조의 개념설계를 수행하였다.
