QuikSCAT 위성의 관측자료를 이용하여 2000년 1월로부터 2008년 12월에 걸쳐 한반도 근해의 풍력자원을 평가 하였다. QuikSCAT 위성은 초단파 scatterometer를 이용하여 해수면 가까이의 풍향과 풍속을 전천후 상태에서 측정한다. 해면으로부터 10 m 높이에서 측정된 풍속을 power law모델을 이용하여 허브 높이에 맞게 외삽 보정하였다. 계산 결과 한반도의 남해와 동해에서 풍력에너지가 상대적으로 우세하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 풍력 터빈 타워의 설치를 위해 깊은 수심을 피하고 대규모 풍력단지 조성을 위해 남해의 다도해 지역을 피한다면 한반도 서쪽 또는 남서쪽 연안이 대규모 풍력단지 조성에 유리하나 상대적으로 낮은 풍속을 고려한 블레이드 개발을 요한다. 바람 지도를 작성하였으며, 특정 지점에 대한 월별 풍속 변화를 파악하였다. 그리고 풍력에너지 밀도를 이용한 바람장미를 파악하였다.

The effects of BPC (blade pitch control) on FOWT (floating offshore wind turbine) motions and generated power are investigated by using a fully-coupled turbine-floater-mooring simulation program. In this regard, two example FOWTs, OC4-5MW semi-submersible FOWT and KRISO four-3MW-units FOWT, are selected since the numerical simulations of those two FOWTs have been verified against experiments in authors' previous studies. Various simulations are performed changing BPC natural frequency (BPCNF), BPC damping ratio (BPCDR), and wind speeds. Through the numerical simulations, it was demonstrated that negative damping can happen for platform pitch motions and its influences are affected by BPCNF, BPCDR, and wind speeds. If BPCNF is significantly larger than platform-pitch natural frequency, the pitch resonance can be very serious due to the BPC-induced negative-damping effects, which should be avoided in the FOWT design. If wind speed is significantly higher than the rated wind velocity, the negative damping effects start to become reduced. Other important findings are also given through systematic sensitivity investigations.

Wind energy, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. However, the construction of wind farms is not universally welcomed because of their visual impact, competing land use, comprising human health impacts, building and crop damage, loss of amenities and ecological impact, impact on wildlife, danger to birds, safety hazard, aesthetics and noise. Offshore wind power, in particular, offers a huge potential to generate clean energy. However, the envisaged massive expansion of wind farms in oceans is already causing severe environmental conflicts. Wind farms cause further harm to already threatened oceans. Wind power has negligible fuel costs, but a high capital cost. The expansion of climate-friendly wind energy use both onshore and offshore can only be successful it the legal and organizational conditions undergo some clear improvements.

최근 풍력 발전 단지가 대형화 해상화됨에 따라 이를 모니터링하고 제어하기 위한 통신망의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해상 풍력 단지에서 사용하는 기존 Ethernet 기반의 통신망의 문제점인 지연시간, 데이터 처리 오버헤드 및 풍력 발전기간 데이터 전송의 공평성 문제를 해결하기 위하여 EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) 기반의 통신망 구조를 제안하고 성능 평가를 수행한다. 제안한 구조는 OLT(Optical Line Terminal)를 중앙 제어 센터에 설치하고 해상의 풍력 발전기에 ONU(Optical Network Unit)를 설치하여 점 대 다점 통신망을 구성하는 토폴로지이다. EPON 기반 토폴로지는 수동소자를 사용함으로써 망 구성 비용이 저렴하고 관리가 용이하며 높은 신뢰성과 데이터 전송의 공평성을 보장할 수 있다. 제안한 통신망 구조의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 OPNET Modeler를 이용하여 IEC 61850 표준을 기반으로 한 풍력단지를 모델링한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존 이더넷 기반의 통신망과 지연시간, 오버헤드 및 전송의 공평성 관점에서 비교 분석한다.

A capstone design is regarded as one of cap courses in undergraduate engineering education because it requires most prerequisites and makes students experience real engineering design processes. There have been case studies to show how this subject should be organized, practiced, and optimized. This study shows one of the case studies by focusing offshore wind power, one of newly recognized renewable energy resources, especially targeting for the design of wind turbine foundation and submarine power cable protectors mainly because of current energy and global warming crisis. To pinpoint engineering design, the students'activities during the project and design procedures are monitored, evaluated, and recommended; hence, core factors are addressed to develop successful aim, theory, practice, and other necessities. These factors include creative problem solving abilities; recognition of engineering curriculum; selection of project theme based on significance, ripple effect, and education purpose; team organization by the full brain model; systematization of project process; realization of engineering design; and synthesis of evaluation. In the end, the aftermath and future works are discussed.

In order to understand water depth distribution in the waters of the southwestern sea offshore wind power demonstration complex, field observations were conducted using a multi-beam echosounder from before construction (2018.2) to operation (2022.8). After data processing and correction of the observed depth, cross-sectional analysis was performed to calculate the maximum water depth value, and time phase analysis was performed using the maximum water depth value. The maximum water depth change rate over time tended to gradually decrease, and there was little difference in the rate of change before the construction of the wind turbine foundation structure, and the rate of change was rapid when the foundation structure was under construction. As a result of time phase analysis, the rate of change of the first (2018.02) and the second (2018.05) showed a rate between -6.27 and -4.13, on average, as the rate of change before the construction of the offshore wind farm, and there was no difference between the first and second rates. The third (2018.11) rate of change was -4.25 to -1.82, and the fourth (2019.04) rate of change was -2.34 to -1.22, and the rate of change increased rapidly after the third time. The fifth (2019.07) rate of change was -2.11 to -1.31, the sixth (2021.05) rate of change was -2.09 to -1.28, and the seventh (2022.08) was -2.11 to -1.22 rate of change, and after the rate of change reached some extent, the change was analyzed in an insufficient graph.

To establish an offshore wind turbine test site, a wind resource assessment of the candidate site is required as a preliminary procedure. The wind resource assessment must be performed with at least one year of wind data. If the assessment is performed with short-term wind data, the results cannot validate the wind conditions of the candidate site. This study performs wind resource assessment of Kokunsangun-do to investigate the wind conditions of the candidate site. The wind data is measured by the Automatic Weather System (AWS) of the Korea Meteorological Administration, located at Maldo. The data is for five years, measured from 2013 to 2017. Measured wind data is statistically processed with a 10-minute average scheme to find out the dominant wind direction and wind power density, with yearly wind speed distribution (Weibull-based). This study contributes to build a database of wind energy resources around Maldo. Also, the results of this study could be used for the establishment of an offshore wind turbine test site.

Renewable energy is emerging as a way for the government to carry out its 2030 carbon-neutral policy. In this regard, the demand for wind turbine generators for renewable energy is increasing. As a result of restrictions due to civil complaints, offshore wind power generators are actively being developed. At this time, offshore wind power generation has higher maintenance costs, material costs, and installation costs compared to onshore wind power generation. So, an economic evaluation that calculates imports and costs is an important task. The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is an economic evaluation index used in the energy field. In this paper, based on AEP calculated by windpro, the LCOE calculated by the wind power cost estimation model published in the NREL Economic Analysis Report, installing one 15 MW unit and installing one 20 MW unit and seven units were reviewed and analyzed. As a result, AEP was calculated as 0.140($/Kwh) for the installation of a single 15 MW, 0.142($/Kwh) for the installation of a single 20 MW, and 0.119 ($/Kwh) for the installation of a 20 MW farm. Therefore, it was confirmed that the installation of the single 20 MW was more economical than the installation of the single 15 MW and the installation of the 20 MW farm was most economical.

Operations and maintenance (O&M) in offshore wind farms accounts for a substantial portion of the life cycle cost due to harsh weather conditions and vessel dispatching. In this regard, it is crucial to expedite O&M technologies in South Korea, which is in the early stage of harnessing wind resources from the ocean. This contribution investigates an O&M planning and scheduling model for floating offshore wind farms with a literature review and use case study. We introduce the development of a long- and short-term maintenance planning framework as part of an integrated O&M platform. This contains a single vessel and fleets routing composition along with technicians and a maintenance job list based on numerical algorithms. Additionally, the routing search presents the basis of decision support for economic trade-offs regarding smooth operation corresponding to ever-changing wind farm situations. The maintenance planning simulator will ultimately contribute to support yearly and day-to-day power-related decisions in a cost-effective manner.
