고도에 따른 풍속변화를 의미하는 Wind shear는 풍력발전기의 에너지 생산량에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 풍속을 보정하는 방법으로는 멱법칙(Power Law)이 사용되는데, 일반적으로 쓰이는 0.143(1/7)의 멱지수(Power Law exponent) 값을 이용한 보정식을 1/7th 멱법칙이라 한다. 하지만 멱지수는 해당 지역의 대기 안정도, 지표면의 상태 등에 의해 많은 영향을 받으므로, 실제 정확한 풍력에너지 예측을 위해서는 관심지역의 멱지수의 정확한 계산이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 북동부 연안지역 3곳에 Met-mast를 설치하여 풍력자원을 측정하였고, 이를 바탕으로 제주도 북동부 지역에 적합한 멱지수를 계산하여 제안하였다. 제주도 북동부 연안지역의 멱지수를 계산한 결과, 한동 0.141, 평대 0.138, 우도 0.1254의 값을 얻었다. 0.143(1/7)의 멱지수 값, 제안한 멱지수 값을 적용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량과 실제 측정된 풍황자료를 이용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량을 비교한 결과, 세 지역 모두 제안한 멱지수 값을 적용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량이 실제 측정된 풍황자료를 이용하여 계산한 연간에너지생산량과 유사한 결과를 보였고, 따라서 제안한 멱지수 값의 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

While effects of the atmospheric boundary layer flow on engineering infrastructure are more or less known, some local transient winds create difficulties for structures, traffic and human activities. Hence, further research is required to fully elucidate flow characteristics of some of those very unique local winds. In this study, important characteristics of observed vertical velocity profiles along the main wind direction for the gusty Bora wind blowing along the eastern Adriatic coast are presented. Commonly used empirical power-law and the logarithmic-law profiles are compared against unique 3-level high-frequency Bora measurements. The experimental data agree well with the power-law and logarithmic-law approximations. An interesting feature observed is a decrease in the power-law exponent and aerodynamic surface roughness length, and an increase in friction velocity with increasing Bora wind velocity. This indicates an urban-like velocity profile for smaller wind velocities and rural-like velocity profile for larger wind velocities, which is due to a stronger increase in absolute velocity at each of the heights observed as compared to the respective velocity gradient (difference in average velocity among two different heights). The trends observed are similar during both the day and night. The thermal stratification is near neutral due to a strong mechanical mixing. The differences in aerodynamic surface roughness length are negligible for different time averaging periods when using the median. For the friction velocity, the arithmetic mean proved to be independent of the time record length, while for the power-law exponent both the arithmetic mean and the median are not influenced by the time averaging period. Another issue is a large difference in aerodynamic surface roughness length when calculating using the arithmetic mean and the median. This indicates that the more robust median is a more suitable parameter to determine the aerodynamic surface roughness length than the arithmetic mean value. Variations in velocity profiles at the same site during different wind periods are interesting because, in the engineering community, it has been commonly accepted that the aerodynamic characteristics at a particular site remain the same during various wind regimes.

본 연구는 온실에 작용하는 풍하중 산정을 위한 설계 풍속을 결정하는데 필요한 자료를 제공하기 위하여 10m 이하 높이에서의 풍속을 측정하여 풍속고도분포지수를 산정하고 변화를 분석하였다. 고도에 따른 풍속분포함수를 결정하기 위한 풍속고도분포지수를 계산하기 위해서는 $5m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 이상의 풍속을 사용하는 것이 타당하다고 판단된다. 농촌 개활지인 부안지역의 고도에 따른 풍속변화는 지표면으로부터 풍속이 지수함수로 증가하는 우리나라의 RDC 기준과 일본의 JGHA 기준과 잘 일치하였고 풍속고도분포지수도 0.26으로 기준들에서 제시된 0.25와 거의 동일한 값을 나타내었다. 반면 군위지역의 경우는 풍속고도분포지수가 0.06으로 산정되어 지표면조도가 클수록 풍속고도분포지수가 증가하는 일반적인 변화 경향과는 반대로 나타났다. 이는 타워가 주변지대보다 약 2m 가량 더 높은 위치에 설치되었기 때문에 유선의 급격한 변화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 일반적으로 농촌 개활지에 설치되는 온실의 설계를 위해 적용할 풍속고도분포로는 우리나라의 RDC기준과 일본의 JGHA기준에서 제시한 풍속고도분포가 가장 타당한 것으로 사료된다. 부안의 경우 오전 7시 경부터 풍속고도 분포지수가 감소하다가 오후 3시경에 최소가 된 후 다시 증가하여 24시경에 일정해지는 것으로 나타나 시간에 따른 풍속고도분포지수의 일반적인 변화경향과 잘 일치하였다. 부안지역은 형상변수가 1.51로 나타나 간척지인 부안지역의 풍속특성이 제주도 연안지역과 유사한 풍속특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

지면위의 풍속의 변화를 높이별 풍속변화(wind shear)아고 한다. 풍력자원 평가 분야에서 전통적으로 이런 높이별 풍속 변화특성을 수학적으로 두 가지 방법으로 분석한다. 이를 대수법칙(Lograthmic law)과 멱법칙(Power law)이라 한다. 대수법칙은 표면 거칠기를 파라미터로 멱법칙의 경우 멱지수를 파라미터로 사용한다. 높이별 풍속변화는 여러 가지 인자에 의하여 영항을 받는다. 대부분은 대기의 안정도와 주변의 지형에 의한 거칠기에 현저한 영향을 받는다. 대기안정도는 계절적, 하루의 시간 변화나 기상학적 변화에 의한 영항을 받는다. 표면의 거칠기와 멱지수 역시 시간의 변화에 따라 변화하는 경향을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 제주 평대와 한동 지역의 풍황 관측데이터를 이용하여 메트랩과 windograper를 이용하여 조도 길이와 멱지수를 계산 하였다. 이 결과는 참조데이터들과 유사한 결과를 보이긴 했지만 범위는 차이를 보이고 있었다. 선행 연구와 비교한 결과 해양의 경우 비슷한 결과를 보였지만 농작지의 경우 보다 높은 범위를 농촌마을이 경우 보다 낮은 범위를 보이고 있었다.

In order to support wind power development, the wind resource database of Jejudo has been established by meteo-statistical analysis on meteorological-mast measurements of KIER. Analysis processes contain correlation of monthly wind speed and power-law exponent among neighboring sites, Measure-Correlated-Predict for long-term correlation, classification of exposure category using satellite image and so forth. It is found that the monthly variations of wind speed and power-law exponent depend on seasonal winds and characterize wind system of Jejudo.

The mean wind speed and turbulence intensity profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer were extracted from a LIDAR remote sensing campaign in order to apply for CFD validation. After considering the semi-steady state field data requirements to be used for CFD validation, a neutral atmosphere campaign period, in which the main wind direction and the power-law exponent of the wind profile were constantly maintained, was chosen. The campaign site at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, surrounded by 40~50m high hills, with an apartment district spread beyond the hills, is to be classified as a semi-complex terrain. Nevertheless, wind speed profiles measured up to 100m above the ground fitted well into a theoretical-experimental logarithmic-law equation. The LIDAR remote-sensing data of the sub-layer of the atmospheric boundary layer has been proven to be superior to the data obtained by conventional extrapolation of the wind profile with 2 or 3 anemometer measurements.

This paper investigates the vertical profiles of horizontal mean wind speed and direction based on the synchronized measurements from a Doppler radar profiler and an anemometer during 16 tropical cyclones at a coastal site in Hong Kong. The speed profiles with both open sea and hilly exposures were found to follow the log-law below a height of 500 m. Above this height, there was an additional wind speed shear in the profile for hilly upwind terrain. The fitting parameters with both the power-law and the log-law varied with wind strength. The direction profiles were also sensitive to local terrain setups and surrounding topographic features. For a uniform open sea terrain, wind direction veered logarithmically with height from the surface level up to the free atmospheric altitude of about 1200 m. The accumulated veering angle within the whole boundary layer was observed to be $30^{\circ}$. Mean wind direction under other terrain conditions also increased logarithmically with height above 500 m with a trend of rougher exposures corresponding to lager veering angles. A number of empirical parameters for engineering applications were presented, including the speed adjustment factors, power exponents of speed profiles, and veering angle, etc. The objective of this study aims to provide useful information on boundary layer wind characteristics for wind-resistant design of high-rise structures in coastal areas.

NCEP reanalysis data were analyzed in order to provide distribution of global wind resource and wind speed in the surface layer for the years 2000-2009. Wind speed at 10 m above ground level (AGL) was converted to wind speed at 80 m above the ground level using the power law. The global average 80 m wind speed shows a maximum value of $13ms^{-1}$ at the storm track region. High wind speed over the land exists in Tibet, Mongolia, Central North America, South Africa, Australia, and Argentina. Wind speed over the ocean increased with a large value in the South China Sea, Southeast Asia, East Sea of the Korea. Sea surface wind in Western Europe and Scandinavia are suitable for wind farm with a value of $7-8ms^{-1}$. Areas with great potential for wind farm are also found in Eastern and Western coastal region of North America. Sea surface wind in Southern Hemisphere shows larger values in the high latitude of South America, South Africa and Australia. The distribution of low-resolution reanalysis data represents general potential areas for wind power and can be used to provide information for high-resolution wind resource mapping.

A study on factors influencing measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) system was conducted in Kimnyeong wind turbine test site on Jeju Island. Three properties of wind including inclined angle, turbulence intensity and power law exponent were taken into account as factors influencing the measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR. In order to calculate LiDAR measurements error, 2.5-month wind speed data collected from LiDAR (WindCube v2) were compared with concurrent data from the anemometer on a nearby 120m-high meteorological mast. In addition, data filtering was performed and its filtering criteria was based on the findings at previous researches. As a result, at 100m above ground level, absolute LiDAR error rate with absolute inclined angle showed 4.58~13.40% and 0.77 of the coefficients of determination, $R^2$. That with turbulence intensity showed 3.58~23.94% and 0.93 of $R^2$ while that with power law exponent showed 4.71~9.53% and 0.41 of $R^2$. Therefore, it was confirmed that the LiDAR measurement error was highly affected by inclined angle and turbulence intensity, while that did not much depend on power law exponent.
