10kV IGCT has been recently developed and has the potential to push wind turbine systems to higher power and voltage rating. Converters employing IGCTs need snubber and OVP circuit to limit the rate of rise of current and peak over voltage across IGCT during turn on and off state respectively. The conventional RCD snubber which is used in such power converter dissipates a significant amount of power. In order to reduce the amount of energy lost by conventional RCD snubber, this paper proposes an isolated inductor snubber circuit that not only meets all of the IGCTs characteristics during on and off-state but also significantly saves the power loss. Loss analysis of conventional di/dt snubber and OVP circuit is performed for the 3-level NPC type back-to-back VSC supplied from grid voltage of 6.9kV. In comparison with the conventional snubber, isolated inductor snubber has a fewer number of components and improved efficiency leading to a reliable and efficient wind turbine systems.

Electric vehicles (EV) are emerging as the future transportation vehicle reflecting their potential safe environmental advantages. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) system describes the hybrid system in which the EV can communicate with the utility grid and the energy flows with insignificant effect between the utility grid and the EV. The paper presents an optimal power control and energy management strategy for Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) charging stations using Wind-PV-FC-Battery renewable energy sources. The energy management optimization is structured and solved using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) to determine and distribute at each time step the charging power among all accessible vehicles. The Model-Based Predictive (MPC) control strategy is used to plan PEV charging energy to increase the utilization of the wind, the FC and solar energy, decrease power taken from the power grid, and fulfil the charging power requirement of all vehicles. Desired features for EV battery chargers such as the near unity power factor with negligible harmonics for the ac source, well-regulated charging current for the battery, maximum output power, high efficiency, and high reliability are fully confirmed by the proposed solution.

풍력터빈의 토크제어는 정격풍속 이하에서 매우 중요하다. 토크제어의 주된 목적은 바람이 가진 공기역학적 파워로부터 최대의 파워를 얻도록 하는 것이다. 풍력터빈의 토크제어 방법은 토크모드 제어와 속도모드 제어로 크게 두 경우로 구분된다. 토크모드 제어는 풍력터빈에서 잘 알려지고 전통적으로 사용되는 방법으로 발전기 회전속도의 제곱에 비례하도록 발전기의 토크크기를 발생시킨다. 속도모드 제어에서는 발전기의 토크크기를 발생하기 위하여 PI 제어기를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 풍속이 난류인 점을 고려하여 2.75 MW 풍력터빈을 대상으로 두 토크제어 방법을 적용한 수치실험 결과를 제시하고 응답특성을 비교한다.

The isolated self-generating electricity with diesel engine generator has been used in islands far away from main land. It costs high because of increasing oil price, and unsafe to have supplying oil and its related components by ship due to unexpectable marine conditions. Therefore there is the need for the hybrid system of renewable energy like wind or solar energy systems with oil engine generator, which can reduce oil use and extend oil supplying period. In this study, the feasibility of such hybrid system with smart micro grid on the eight islands of Jeon-nam province is surveyed to find good place for the demonstration test of the hybrid system. In each island, 3 wind turbine systems of 10 kW and photovoltaic of 20 kW are tested with already installed diesel engine. The performance and costs of the hybrid system in each island are compared in the given conditions of solar and wind energy potential. As a result of the study, Jung-ma island is recommended for the optimum place to make real field demonstration test of isolated hybrid generating and smart grid systems.

북한 지역의 27개 기상관측지점의 30년 바람 자료를 이용하여 고도 50 m에서의 풍력밀도를 분석하였다. 27개 지점의 연평균 풍력밀도는 58.6W/$m^2$로 1등급에 해당하는 풍력 자원이었다. 계절에 따른 평균 풍력밀도는 겨울보다 봄에 더 높았으며, 여름에는 봄의 50% 정도의 풍력밀도를 나타냈다. 풍력밀도의 일변화를 보면 거의 모든 관측 지점에서 오후에 비교적 높은 풍력밀도와 오전 3-6시 경에 낮은 풍력밀도를 보였으며, 일변화의 진폭은 봄에 가장 컸다. 특히 내륙 중심부인 개마고원 지역과 함경북도 동북부, 평안도 남부 해안, 황해도 해안 근처에서 비교적 높은 값을 나타냈다. 장진에서의 연평균 풍력밀도는 3등급인 151.2 W/$m^2$를 나타냈으며, 용연은 2등급인 102.4 W/$m^2$의 값을 보였다.

Economic feasibility study using weighted average variable Jeju System Marginal Price, SMP, was conducted for Gasiri wind farm of Jeju Island. To predict the variable Jeju SMP, generator share ratio for SMP was calculated from the real time wind power production and the power demand data for years. Also, sensitivity analysis on Net Present Value, NPV, and Benefit/Cost Ratio, B/C ratio, were performed to clarify which factors are more important in assessing economic feasibility. The result shows that the Gasiri wind farm has a minimum of 110 billion won and a maximum of 132 billion won difference between fixed and variable SMP. Also, Capacity Factor, C.F., had the highest sensitivity for NPV, followed by SMP. Accordingly, when economic analysis for a potential wind farm site is carried out, the variable SMP as well as C.F. should be considered for more accurate assessment of the wind farm.

풍력발전기와 같은 신재생에너지원은 기존 동기화력발전기의 특성과 매우 다르기 때문에, 상정고장과 같은 가혹한 상황에서는 주파수 변동에 신속히 대응하지 못하므로 주파응답성능을 저하시킬 수 밖에 없다. 특히, 풍력발전의 수용률이 높은 상황에서 상정고장이 발생한 경우, 전력계통에 안정화를 위해서 풍력발전의 수용이 더욱 제한될 가능성이 잠재되어 있다. 이를 위해, 본 논문에서는 풍력발전의 전력계통 동적 수용한계를 산정하는 절차를 구현하고, 산출된 결과로부터 풍력발전의 동적 수용한계를 증대시키기 위한 BESS의 적용방안을 모색하였다.

본 연구에서는 한국 연안의 해상풍력 발전을 위한 적지를 검토하기 위해 기상청에서 제공하는 20개 지점의 풍속 자료를 수집하고 이를 분석하였다. 관측된 풍속 자료의 분석을 위하여 Rayleigh 모델과 Weibull 모델을 이용하였으며, 풍속 출현빈도에 따라 연간 부존량을 추정하였다. 풍력발전기 모델로는 출력 1.5~5 MW의 7종류를 선정하여 각각의 성능곡선을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 풍속이 7.15 m/s 이상인 지점에서는 Repower-5 MW의 터빈이 높은 에너지 생산이 가능한 것으로 나타났으나 그 이하의 풍속에서는 G128-4.5 MW의 터빈이 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 10 m/s 이상의 풍속 출현율이 높은 마라도, 거제도 및 포항의 경우 REpower사의 5 MW급 해상풍력발전기 설치 시 설비이용률이 56.49%, 50.92%, 50.08%로 높게 나타났다.

The numerical simulation of wind and ozone ($O_3$) transport in mountainous regions was performed with a computational fluid dynamics technique. A dry deposition model for $O_3$ was designed to estimate $O_3$ deposition in complex terrain, and the qualitative validity of the predicted $O_3$ concentration field was confirmed by comparison with observed data collected with passive samplers. The simulation revealed that wind velocity increases around ridge lines and peaks of mountains. The areas with strong wind corresponded well with the sites of tree decline at high altitudes, suggesting that it is an important factor in the localization of tree/forest decline. On the other hand, there is no direct relationship between forest decline and $O_3$ concentration. The $O_3$ concentration, however, tends to increase as wind velocity becomes higher, thus the $O_3$ concentration itself may be a potential secondary factor in the localized decline phenomena. While the diffusion flux of $O_3$ is not related to localized tree decline, the pattern of advection flux is related to those of high wind velocity and localized tree decline. These results suggest that strong wind with large advection flux of $O_3$ may play a key role in the promotion of tree/forest decline at high mountain ridges and peaks.

This study explored the potential and implementation of renewable energy sources in Sri Lanka, focusing on the theoretical potential of solar and wind energy to develop self-reliant energy models. Using advanced climate data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and Global Solar/Wind Atlas provided by the World Bank, we assessed the renewable energy potential across Sri Lanka. This study proposes off-grid and minigrid systems as viable solutions for addressing energy poverty in rural regions. Rural villages were classified based on solar and wind resources, via which we proposed four distinct energy self-reliance models: Renewable-Dominant, Solar-Dominant, Wind-Dominant, and Diesel-Dominant. This study evaluates the economic viability of these models considering Sri Lanka's current energy market and technological environment. The outcomes highlight the necessity for employing diversified energy strategies to enhance the efficiency of the national power supply system and maximize the utilization of renewable resources, contributing to Sri Lanka's sustainable development and energy security.
