A various algorism has been studied to extract possibly every energy from a wind turbine in conjunction with the increase of concern about wind power system. In order to verify these control algorism, it is essential to make the most similar conditions to the real wind turbine's environment. Therefore, using separately excited DC motor a wind turbine the most similar to the real turbine is simulated. Tower shadow effect and Wind shear effect are considered as well as inertia emulation. For the control of Back-to-Back Converter Vector current control methods and space vector pulse width modulation are used and for reducing THD of grid current LCL filter is considered. This simulation results verified the energy produced by wind all flows into the utility under the consideration of the characteristics of a wind turbine. The result of this paper is expected to be used as a basic material for analyzing the characteristics of the wind turbine generator.

Recently, the application of renewable energy to building is steadily increasing in domestic due to the energy saving efforts around the world. Among the all, wind energy is one of the rising energy source because of its high technological maturity. Domestic wind power market has rapidly increased in recent years but the certification system for wind turbine has not been activated since it was introduced in 2009. Thus, this study aims to propose the improvement of certification system for wind turbine by comparing domestic certification system with international certification system. The result of this study are as follows. First, domestic certification system needs to be subdivided and established by systematic standards. Second, it is considered that education about rating standards is required to wind turbine makers to activate domestic certification system. Third, domestic certification agenciesand test agencies need to be unified and reduced.

The goal of this paper is to provide the specific forecasting steps and to explain how to design the forecasting architecture and training data sets to forecast very short-term wind power when the numerical weather prediction (NWP) is unavailable, and when the sampling periods of the wind power and training data are different. We forecast the very short-term wind power every 15 minutes starting two hours after receiving the most recent measurements up to 40 hours for a total of 38 hours, without using the NWP data but using the historical weather data. Generally, the NWP works as a predictor and can be converted to wind power forecasts through machine learning-based forecasting algorithms. Without the NWP, we can still build the predictor by shifting the historical weather data and apply the machine learning-based algorithms to the shifted weather data. In this process, the sampling intervals of the weather and wind power data are unified. To verify our approaches, we participated in the 2017 wind power forecasting competition held by the European Energy Market conference and ranked sixth. We have shown that the wind power can be accurately forecasted through the data shifting although the NWP is unavailable.

we applied Wind Field Module of PHRLM so that disaster prevention agency concerned can effectively estimate the possible strong wind damages by typhoon. In this study, therefore, we estimated wind speed at 300m level using 700hPa wind according to the research method by Franklin(2003), PHRLM(2003), and Vickery and Skerlj(2005). Then we calculated wind speed at 10m level using the estimated wind speed at 300m level, and finally, peak 3.second gust on surface. The case period is from 18LST August 31 to 03LST September 1, 2002, when the typhoon Rusa in 2002 was the most intense. Among disaster prediction models in the US, Wind Field Module of PHRLM in Florida was used for the 2002 typhoon Rusa case. As a result, peak 3.second gust on the surface increased $10\sim20%$ in the typhoon's 700hPa wind speed.

The performance test of a wind turbine in a wind farm is generally carried out by the owner to verify the power curve of the wind turbine given by the turbine manufacturer. The international electro-technical commission provides the IEC 61400-12-1 standard on "Power performance measurements of electricity producing wind turbines". By using this code, one can easily find the suitable met-mast (meteorological mast) location for the wind data whether a wind farm is potential or already built. In this paper, the valid sectors for wind turbines installed in the HanKyoung wind farm, south-west in Jeju island are analyzed on the basis of the code by considering the wind farm layout. Among these sectors, the optimal met-mast location is presented for the power curve verification of the wind farm.

The long-term wind data are reconstructed from the short-term meteorological data to design the 4 MW offshore wind park which will be constructed at Woljeong-ri, Jeju island, Korea. Using two MCP (Measure-Correlate-Predict) models, the relative deviation of wind speed and direction from two neighboring reference weather stations can be regressed at each azimuth sector. The validation of the present method is checked about linear and matrix MCP models for the sets of measured data, and the characteristic wind turbulence is estimated from the ninety-percent percentile of standard deviation in the probability distribution. Using the Gumbel's model, the extreme wind speed of fifty-year return period is predicted by the reconstructed long-term data. The predicted results of this analysis concerning turbulence intensity and extreme wind speed are used for the calculation of fatigue life and extreme load in the design procedure of wind turbine structures at offshore wind farms.

High-rise buildings constructed adjacent to low-rise structures experience frequent damage caused by the associated strong wind. This study aimed to implement a standard evaluation of the wind environment and airflow characteristics around high-rise apartment blocks using wind tunnel tests (WTT) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The correlation coefficient between the CFD and wind tunnel results ranged between 0.6-0.8. Correlations below 0.8 were due to differences in the wake flow area range generated behind the target building according to wind direction angle and the effect of the surrounding buildings. In addition, a difference was observed between the average velocity ratio of the wake flow wind measured by the WTT and by the CFD analysis. The wind velocity values of the CFD analysis were therefore compensated, and, consequently, the correlations for most wind angles increased.

The feasibility study must be conducted for construction of complex for generation of electric power such as items to get permission and grid connection etc. including wind resource to construct a complex for wind power generation. Since wind power can be used by converting only around 20~40% of energy coming in that kinetic energy of wind passes through blades and driving device into electric energy, when constructing a complex, the survey of wind resource takes up the most important part. Data logger used to measure this wind energy are expressed by calculating generally electromotive that is created from a sensor, variable-type, pulse-type signal to be proper for the actual value, and most data loggers have a type without considering geographical features. Besides, in the case of Met mast that is installed to survey the wind resource, since it is installed lower than the hub height of a wind power generator due to permission matters and the economic factors, the height of wind speed by utilizing Deacon equation is compensated to revise this. In this study, a device measuring wind speed was made by using algorithm that is possible to compensate the height of wind speed according to regional features and by applying Deacon equation, and the function of data storage through SD card or RS232 communication was added as well. Besides it's possible to check data more easily with a type of graph by using LCD touch screen for the convenience of users.

In Korea, experiences in wind farm operation are limited and the foundation for setting standards in electrical system connection is still weak in comparison to the operation experience in connection of wind power to the electrical system of other countries around the world. Therefore, standards that are being applied in various countries for connection and optimal operation in wind farms need to be examined, and in addition, procedures for the assessment of the effects on the system are needed for setting connection standards and optimal operation plans in accordance with Korean electrical system characteristics. In this study, procedures for the assessment of effects of wind power connection to the electrical system are presented.
