국내 외에서 다양한 형태의 석유 대체에너지는 온실효과 가스를 배출하지 않는 청정에너지로 개발되고 있으며, 특히 해상풍력은 풍력 자원이 풍부하고 육상보다 풍력 감소가 상대적으로 작아 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해상풍력기초의 세굴현상을 분석하기 위해서 Flow-3D 모형을 이용하여 모노 파일과 삼각대 파일 기초에 대하여 수치모의를 수행하였다. 직경이 다른(D=5.0 m, d=1.69 m) 모노 파일 형식과 직경이 동일한(D=5.0 m) 모노파일에 대하여 세굴현상을 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과, 동일한 직경을 가진 모노파일에서 하강류가 증가되었으며, 최대세굴심은 약 1.7배 이상 발생하였다. 삼각대 파일에 대하여 관측유속과 극치파랑 조건을 상류경계조건으로 각각 적용한 후 세굴현상을 평가하였다. 극치파랑조건을 적용한 경우 최대 세굴심은 약 1.3배 정도 깊게 발생하였다. LES 모형을 적용하였을 경우 세굴심은 평형상태에 도달한 반면, RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ 모형은 해석영역 내 전반적으로 세굴현상이 발생하였으며, 세굴심은 평형상태에 도달하지 않았다. 해상풍력기초에 대하여 세굴현상을 평가하기 위해서 수치모형 적용시 파랑조건 및 LES 난류모형을 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper provides a loss analysis and comparison of high power semiconductor devices in 5MW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) Medium Voltage (MV) Wind Turbine Systems (WTSs). High power semiconductor devices of the press-pack type IGCT, module type IGBT, press-pack type IGBT, and press-pack type IEGT of both 4.5kV and 6.5kV are considered in this paper. Benchmarking is performed based on the back-to-back type 3-level Neutral Point Clamped Voltage Source Converters (3L-NPC VSCs) supplied from a grid voltage of 4160V. The feasible number of semiconductor devices in parallel is designed through a loss analysis considering both the conduction and switching losses under the operating conditions of 5MW PMSG wind turbines, particularly for application in offshore wind farms. This paper investigates the loss analysis and thermal performance of 5MW 3L-NPC wind power inverters under the operating conditions of various power factors. The loss analysis and thermal analysis are confirmed through PLECS Blockset simulations with Matlab Simulink. The comparison results show that the press-pack type IGCT has the highest efficiency including the snubber loss factor.

부유식 해양구조물은 설계수명 동안 조우할 수 있는 가장 극심한 환경하중을 고려하여 설계되어야 한다. 본 연구의 해석 대상인 부유식 파력-해상풍력 복합 발전시스템에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 환경하중은 파랑하중이다. 파랑하중의 주요 매개변수는 파장, 파고, 파향이며, 이들의 조합에 따라 구조물의 거동특성에 미치는 영향은 판이하다. 이에 따라, 대상 해역이 가지는 파랑의 특성과 구조물이 가지는 응답 특성을 기반으로 극한 응답을 주는 파랑인자를 탐색하는 과정이 필요하다. 즉, 환경조건 범위에서 발생할 수 있는 모든 파랑조건을 탐색하여 최대 응답을 발생시키는 등가설계파를 추출해야 한다. 이는 특정 하중의 최대 설계 응답과 동일한 응답 수준을 주는 규칙파를 탐색하는 일련의 과정을 통해 계산 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 부유식 파력-해상풍력 복합 발전시스템에 작용하는 특정 하중 인자에 대해 등가설계파를 산정하였으며, 전체구조해석에 활용하였다.

Much advancement has been made in wind power due to modern technological developments. The wind energy technology is the world's fastest-growing energy option. More power can be generated from wind energy by the use of new design and techniques of wind energy machines. The geographical areas with suitable wind speed are more favorable and preferred for wind power deployment over other sources of energy generation. Today's wind turbines are mainly the horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). HAWTs are commercially available in various sizes starting from a few kilowatts to multi-megawatts and are suitable for almost all applications, including both onshore and offshore deployment. On the other hand, VAWTs finds their places in small and residential wind applications. The objective of the present work is to review the technological development, available sizes, efficiencies, structural types, and structural stability of VAWTs. Structural stability and efficiencies of the VAWTS are found to be dependent on the structural shape and size.

The ecological changes in the ocean due to the drastic global warming require that action be taken to sustain the productivity of fisheries. Proper ocean facilities could help prevent the loss of the expenditures made on marine aquaculture and reduce the related compensation for various ocean conditions. The aim of this study was to develop a floating ocean wave-breaker using an eco-friendly concrete and conducting a site survey, a structural analysis, and a test of towing the tank. As a result, the wave at the fish farm would be reduced. The results of the holding power of anchors and the capability of moving the floating structures were considered in the design of the wave-breaker. The analyses of the material properties of concrete and the steel structures, as well as the CAPEX and OPEX analyses of the manufacturing and operation processes confirmed the superiority of the floating concrete wave-breaker. In particular, this study demonstrated that the concrete floating breakwater can protect the fish farm against typhoons and reverse-waves, thereby reducing losses of the fish.

The combined generator system by integrating several renewable energy sources can share the electrical infrastructure and therefore have the advantage of constructing not only the transmission system but also the power conversion system. Among the various combined renewable system, the wind power and wave power has a high possibility of future growth due to the economic feasibility in offshore environment. This kind of large-scale combined systems might be follow the determination by the transmission system operator's directions and control the output profile by focusing at PCC. However, both renewable energies are depend on the unpredictable environmental variation; it is needed to do the compensation devices. In this paper, the ESS compensation plan is proposed to do output determination of the combined generator system by paying attention to active power of utility grid with the analysis of the controllable elements of the wind and wave power generator. The improvement of the new application technique of the combined system is confirmed through using the PSCAD/EMTDC. The entire simulation process was designed by adopting the active power control according to the reference signal of TSO.

This paper provides a comparison of high power semiconductor devices in 5MW-class Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) Medium Voltage (MV) wind turbines. High power semiconductor devices of IGBT module type, IGBT press-pack type, and IGCT of both 4.5kV and 6.5kV are considered in this paper. Benchmarking is performed based on neutral-point clamed 3-level back-to-back type voltage source converter supplied from grid voltage of 4160V. The feasible number of semiconductor devices in parallel is designed through the loss analysis considering both conduction and switching losses under the given operating conditions of 5MW-class PMSG wind turbines, particularly for the application in offshore wind farms. The loss analysis is confirmed through PLECS simulations. The comparison result shows that IGBT press-pack type semiconductor device has the highest efficiency and IGCT has the lowest cost factor considering the necessary auxiliary components.
