The influence of waves on the dynamic properties of bending moments at the root of blades of tidal stream vertical axis rotors is reported. Blade theory for wind turbine is combined with linear wave theory and used to analyse this influence. Experiments were carried out to validate the simulation and the comparison shows the usefulness of the theory in predicting the bending moments. The mathematical model is then used to study the importance of waves for the fatigue design of the blade-hub connection.

본 연구에서는 BEMT(Blade Element Momentum Theory)에 의해 우선 정격 출력 100 kW인 수평축 조류 발전용 단일 터빈에대한 기본 형상 설계를 진행하고, CFD 해석을 통해 블레이드 주변 유동특성 파악 및 출력 성능 예측을 하였다. 기본적인 에어포일은 FFA-W3-301, DU-93-W210, NACA-63418을 사용하였다. 이를 바탕으로 상반회전 터빈의 특성을 고찰한 결과, 설계 주속비 5.17에서 최대 출력계수는 0.495이며, 터빈의 출력은 101.82 kW를 얻었다.

In order to analyze the characteristics of tidal current power generation system, we measured the output power according to the stream velocity by a water tunnel system and a simulation in MATLAB/Simulink. The water tunnel system consisted of impeller tidal flow transducer and PMSG with rotor in the water. The simulation consisted of PMSG, the tidal current turbine, and back-to-back converter. Also, we simulated the characteristics of output power according to the change of blade length and angular velocity.

해양에너지는 아직 개발되지 않은 가장 유망한 재생 및 청정에너지 자원 중 하나이다. 특히 우리나라는 세계적으로 보기 드문 조류발전의 적지이며, 이를 이용하기 위해서는 각 해역에 적합한 조류에너지 변환 장치의 개발이 매우 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 조류발전 방식 중 수평축 로터 블레이드의 최적형상 설계 및 성능평가를 목적으로 날개 끝 손실 모델을 포함하는 날개요소 운동량이론을 적용한 조류터빈 설계기법을 제안하고, 100 kW급 로터 블레이드를 설계하였다. 또한 블레이드 국부위치에서 주속비에 따른 Prandtl의 날개 끝 손실 변화를 비교하였으며, 정격 날개 끝 속도비에서 NACA63812를 사용하여 설계된 로터 블레이드의 동력계수는 0.49로 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

Tidal current power system is one of ocean renewable energies that can minimize the environmental impact with many advantages compared to other energy sources. Not like others, the produced energy can be precisely predicted without weather conditions and also the operation rate is very high. To convert the current into power, the first device encountered to the incoming flow is the rotor that can transform into rotational energy. The performance of rotor can be determined by various design parameters including numbers of blade, sectional shape, diameter, and etc. The stream lines near the rotating rotor is very complex and the interference effects around the system is also difficult to predict. The paper introduces the experiment of rotor performance and also the fundamental study on the characteristics of three different rotors and flow near the rotor by CFD.

Ocean energy is one of the most promising renewable energy resources. In particular, South Korea is one of the countries where it is economically and technically feasible to develop tidal current power plants to use tidal current energy. In this study, based on the design code for HARP_Opt (Horizontal axis rotor performance optimizer) developed by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) in the United States, and applying the BEMT (Blade element momentum theory) and GA (Genetic algorithm), the optimal shape design and performance evaluation of the horizontal axis rotor for a 200-kW-class tidal current turbine were performed using different numbers of blades (two or three) and a pitch control method (variable pitch or fixed pitch). As a result, the VSFP (Variable Speed Fixed Pitch) turbine with three blades showed the best performance. However, the performances of four different cases did not show significant differences. Hence, it is necessary when selecting the final design to consider the structural integrity related to the fatigue, along with the economic feasibility of manufacturing the blades.

최근 점점 더 많은 연구자와 정부에서 해양에너지 자원 개발에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 장죽수도는 조류에너지 밀도가 높아 조류 발전소를 건설하기에 적합한 잠재적 후보지 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ADCIRC 모델을 이용하여 장죽수도의 조류자원의 잠재량을 평가하기 위한 수치적 접근방식을 제시하고, 내부 코드를 이용하여 조석 특성을 입력 매개변수로 활용하여 1 MW급 규모의 조류에너지 변환장치를 대상으로 4개의 레이아웃으로 배열하고 후류 효과로 인한 연간 에너지 생산량에 관한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 효율이 가장 좋은 배치는 연간 최대 12.96 GWh/year의 에너지를 생성할 수 있으며, 이 값은 후류 효과로 인한 에너지 손실을 고려하면 연간 0.16 GWh씩 감소될 수 있음을 보였다. 또한, 창낙조 때 터빈 요 각도를 변경함으로써 이 요소가 에너지 추출에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 터빈 배열은 터빈 요 각도가 346°와 164°(북쪽에서 시계 방향으로)일 때 대조기와 소조기에서 차례로 최대 조류 에너지를 얻을 수 있었다.

The use of a tidal-current power system is one source of renewable energy that can minimize the environmental impact of power production and offer many other advantages compared to conventional energy sources. Unlike other energy production approaches, rate of energy production can be precisely predicted and the operational rate is very high. The performance of the rotor, which has a vital role in energy production using tidal currents, is determined by various design factors, and it should be optimized for the specific ocean environment in the field. The horizontal-axis turbine is very sensitive to the direction of flow, and flow direction changes due to rise and fall of the tides. To investigate the performance of the rotor considering the interaction problems with incidence angle of flow, a series of experiments were conducted, and a 3D CFD model was designed and analyzed by ANSYS CFX. The results and findings are summarized in the paper.

This study investigates the influence of loading and inflow conditions on tidal turbine performance from a hydrodynamic and hydroacoustic point of view. A boundary element method is utilized for the former to investigate turbine performance at various loading conditions under zero/non-zero yaw inflow. The boundary element method is selected as it has been selected, tested, and validated to be computationally efficient and accurate for marine hydrodynamic problems. Once the hydrodynamic solutions are obtained, such as the time-dependent surface pressures and periodic motion of the turbine blade, they are taken as the known noise sources for the subsequence hydroacoustic analysis based on the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings formulation given in a form proposed by Farassat. This formulation is coupled with the boundary element method to fully consider the three-dimensional shape of the turbine and the speed of sound in the acoustic analysis. For validations, a model turbine is taken from a reference paper, and the comparison between numerical predictions and experimental data reveals satisfactory agreement in hydrodynamic performance. Importantly, this study shows that the noise patterns and sound pressure levels at both the near- and far-field are affected by different loading conditions and sensitive to the inclination imposed in the incoming flow.
