In order to secure the safety of increasing offshore activities such as offshore wind farm maintenance and fishing, IMPACT, a mid-term marine weather forecasting system, was established by predicting marine weather up to 7 days in advance. Forecast data from the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA), which provides the most reliable marine meteorological service in Korea, was used, but wind speed and wave height forecast errors increased as the leading forecast period increased, so improvement of the accuracy of the model results was needed. The Model Output Statistics (MOS) method, a post-correction method using statistical machine learning, was applied to improve the prediction accuracy of wave height, which is an important factor in forecasting the risk of marine activities. Compared with the observed data, the wave height prediction results by the model before correction for 6 to 7 days ahead showed an RMSE of 0.692 m and R of 0.591, and there was a tendency to underestimate high waves. After correction with the MOS technique, RMSE was 0.554 m and R was 0.732, confirming that accuracy was significantly improved.

Large offshore wind farms using high voltage direct current transmission system (HVDC) have been considered and exploited in many countries in the world. The maintenance of the stable operation of wind farm and interconnected system is an important issue, especially in the case of fault. To ensure the stable operation after fault clearance, the PCC voltage must be restored as soon as possible and meet the grid code requirement. This paper will evaluate the PCC voltage recovery ability of a large offshore wind farm as it is connected to a weak grid via a VSC-HVDC.

Predictions of wind speed for six different near-shore sites were made using the NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) wind data. The distances between the NCAR sites and prediction sites were varied between 40km and 150km. A well-known wind energy prediction program, WindPRO, was used. The prediction results were compared with the measured data from the AWS(Automated Weather Stations). Although the NCAR wind data were located far away from the AWS sites, the prediction errors were within 9% for all the cases. In terms of sector-wise wind energy distributions, the predictions were fairly close to the measurements, and the error in predicting main wind direction was less than $30^{\circ}$. This proves that the NCAR wind data are very useful in roughly estimating wind energy in offshore or near-shore sites where offshore wind farm might be constructed in Korea.

In resent years, Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) is being actively developed. Typically, OWF has a better wind resource than onshore one, but also have a very high investment cost and maintenance cost. Furthermore, due to a difficulty of geographical access, OWF can be affected by the failure for a longer time. As the result, OWF has a higher loss cost. Therefore, a reliability evaluation should be performed more carefully at OWF planning stage. In this paper, a methodology for the reliability evaluation on inner grid is suggested. Inner grid connects wind turbines via submarine cables and transfers power to offshore substation. According to location of the faulted cable under layouts of inner grid, the transfer ability of inner grid is influenced. In order to indicate the transfer ability of inner grid, several indices are introduced such as PNDR, EEND and EENDC. To demonstrate the methodology described in this paper, diversity case studies were performed.

This paper examines the design feasibility of cage aquaculture coexistent with an offshore wind farm in the southwestern sea of South Korea. Among the many types of fish farms, 2 × 3 cage aquaculture was selected for the investigation and the initial design including mooring lines, bridles, etc. was drawn with iterative numerical simulations using Orcaflex. Experimental campaigns were conducted to validate the numerical results, and they were found to be in good agreement with the experiments. Using a validated numerical model, the tension of mooring lines and the deformed volumes of the facility were examined under given operating and survival conditions. The validated model will be further used to investigate various aspects of the cage farm design for design optimization.

본 연구에서는 대정해상풍력단지 설치 해역과 인근수역을 이용하는 선박교통량과 해상교통흐름의 패턴을 분석하고 단지 조성 후 합리적인 대체통항로 지정에 따른 교통량을 예측하였다. 또한 예측된 교통량을 근거하여 통항로별 통항안전성을 평가하고 검토함으로써 선박의 안전운항에 필요한 제반조건 및 대책을 제시하였다. 풍력단지 설치 해역과 인근수역의 해상교통흐름 패턴을 분석한 결과 총 8가지의 교통흐름으로 분류되었고, 연간 교통량은 8,975 척으로 예측되었다. 이를 근거로 단지 조성 후 4가지의 대체 통항로 지정에 따른 교통량을 예측하였다. 예측된 교통량과 SSPA의 동력선충돌모델을 이용하여 통항안전성을 평가한 결과 충돌 및 침로이탈확률에 관한 국내 안전기준 $10^{-4}$ 이하를 만족하므로 계획된 대체통항로가 유용함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the offshore wind farms have been designed by using WindPRO with the help of real wind data measurements at Jeju Costal area by calculating the annual energy production for exact economic evaluation. In order to achieve benefit of wind farm, the annual revenue for power generation have been calculated with SMP and REC value. And construction cost has derived from the real wind farm project case. Also O&M cost has been estimated by OMCE (Operating & Maintenance Cost Estimator) to get accurate cost of wind farm. Economic evaluation of wind farms have been performed by comparing above parameters. In addition, sensitivity analysis calculating the effect of these factors has also been carried out.

This study investigates the wake effect of an island to develop the offshore wind farm. The main wind direction can be determined from the data processing of the QuikSCAT satellite data around the Wi-do island at south-west sea of the Korean peninsula. Computational fluid dynamics is adopted to analyze the wake effect. From this study the velocity defects due to the wake are revealed. In particular about 5% velocity defect is observed at 80m hub height from the sea surface.

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.
