최근 탄소 중립 등 지속 가능한 발전을 위한 지구환경 문제가 대두되면서 기존 풍력터빈의 소재인 유리섬유 복합재의 폐기 시 처리 방안이 문제가 되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 기존의 유리섬유 복합재를 대체할 수 있는 친환경 복합재인 아마섬유 기반 복합재를 활용하여 30kW 풍력터빈 블레이드를 제조하고 적합성을 평가하였다. 먼저 친환경 천연 아마섬유 복합재의 풍력터빈 블레이드 소재로 활용 가능성을 검증하기 위해 기계적 강도 시험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 선행 아마섬유 복합재 물성 연구 대비 좀 더 우수한 강도가 측정된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 제작된 30kW 급 아마섬유 복합재 블레이드를 활용하여 아마섬유 복합재 블레이드의 정적강도를 측정하는 정적강도 성능평가 시험을 통하여 적합성을 확인하였다.

Permanent-magnet generators have been used for wind turbines for many years. This paper deals with the AFPM(Axial - Flux Permanent Magnet) Generator with a high power-to-weight ratio, dedicated for small wind turbines. The designed and constructed generator as a prototype in this study is a slotless type AFPM Generator with Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnet rotor. Based on that construction, a magnetic circuit analysis of the generator is carried out. Some important equations covering its characteristics and construction are derived and its magnetic and electrical characteristics are investigated.

In this paper, the steady-state operating performance analysis for the three-phase squirrel cage rotor self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) in addition to a constant-speed prime mover (CSPM) is presented on the basis of an effective algorithm based on its frequency-domain equivalent circuit. The operating characteristics of the three-phase SEIG coupled by a VSPM and/or a CSPM are evaluated on line processing under the condition of the electrical passive load parameters variations with simple and efficient computation processing procedure in unregulated voltage control loop scheme. A three-phase SEIG prototype setup with a VSPM as well as a CSPM is implemented for the small-scale clean renewable and alternative energy utilizations. The experimental operating characteristic results are illustrated and give good agreements with the simulation ones.

The mechanical parts of small windp ower generator less than 10kW are manufactured in the form of removing most of the accelerators. The braking system to protect blade from damages caused by high wind speed is manufactured in a manner having apparatus system(furling), manual brake or no brake. This study is on braking system in small size wind power generator, and carried out survey as following steps by applying electric braking system which uses armature reaction. We explained the principle of electric braking system and the principle of existing braking system. Also, this paper interpreted short circuit current through open circuit and short circuit, as well as checking brake system's action using armature reaction with real construction of control device.

In this paper, the Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) control of the small scale wind power generation system with a three-phase diode rectifier and the grid-connected inverter is studied. Without the need for the converter circuits to control speed of the generator, it is economical and the structure is simple. Compared with existing systems, it can be to reduce the power semiconductor switches and passive elements, and to implement the MPPT control with only DC-Link voltage control of the grid-connected inverter. In order to allow MPPT control without the characteristic information of the wind turbine, the P&O algorithm is applied, and these are verified by the simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes a three-phase single-stage AC-DC converter for the small wind generation system. Input power factor improvement and insulated output can be implemented with the proposed three-phase single-stage AC-DC converter under the wide power generation voltage (80-260 V_ac) and frequency (10-42 Hz) in a small wind power generation (WPG) system. The proposed converter is also capable of zero-voltage switching in the primary-side switches and zero-current switching in the secondary-side diodes by phase-shift control at a fixed switching frequency. In addition, it is possible to control a wide output voltage (V_o: 39 V_DC-60 V_DC) by varying the link voltage and improving the input power factor (PF) and the total harmonic distortion factor (THD_i). Simulation and experimental results verified the validity of the proposed converter.

A cascade wind tunnel test for a turbine nozzle, which was designed for a small turbo jet engine in a previous study, has been conducted to evaluate its aerodynamic performance and losses. The large-scale blades were based on the mid-span profile of the nozzle. Oil film flow structure, and then 3-dimensional velocity components were measured in the flow passage with a 5-hold pressure probe, in addition to turbulent intensities at mid-span of cascade exit using a hot-wire anemometer. From this study, 3-dimensional growth of horseshoe and passage vortices in the downstream direction was clearly understood with near-wall flow phenomena. In addition, secondary flow and losses associated with the blade configuration were obtained in detail.

본 연구에서는 초음속 충동형 터빈의 유동특성을 알아보기 위해 소형 초음속 풍동을 설계하였다. 실험은 익렬 위치에 따른 초음속 터빈의 유동 특성을 파악하고 확산 손실이 발생하는 특성을 알기 위해 익렬의 위치를 조절해가며 2차원 초음속 노즐과 익렬을 조합하여 실시하였다. Z-type 슐리렌(Schlieren) 시스템을 이용하여 유동을 가시화 하였다. 이러한 실험을 통해 충격파를 포함한 복잡한 유동 형태와 유동박리, 충격파-경계층 상호작용 등을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Energy resource is very important to the survival in the polar region. Wind energy, which is one of renewable energy, can guarantee the clean, inexhaustible, natural resource in the polar region. It is essential to assess the wind energy resource of the site where wind turbines will be installed. In the present study, the wind characteristics of the antarctic King Sejong station are analysed from its meteorological observation data. The wind resource of the Sejong station is also simulated and predicted using WAsP program. From the results, the Sejong station has very excellent wind resource and the site where small wind turbines will be installed is determined.

At the moment, the control ability of wind farms is a prime research concern for the grid integration of large wind farms, due to their required active role in the power system. As more wind turbines are installed, the power from wind energy will start to replace conventional generation units and its influence on power systems cannot be neglected. Besides, because of the intermittent nature of wind the output power of wind turbines fluctuates according to wind speed variation. Especially an isolated power system with small capacity such like Jeju needs more systematic solutions and regulations(grid code). This paper presents the idea of approach for centralized operating wind farm strategy to regulate the wind farm power production to the reference power ordered by the system operator. The doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) can control active and reactive power in feasible range. So wind farm comprised of DFIG has the possibility of a controllable component in the power system. The presented wind farm control has a hierarchical structure with both a wind farm control level and a wind turbine control level.
