최근 해상풍력터빈에 대한 하부구조물로 재킷 또는 트라이포드 형태의 고정식 하부구조물이 기존의 모노파일을 대체하는 좋은 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 이러한 재킷 또는 트라이포트 하부구조물은 이미 기술성숙도가 높고 25-50 m 사이의 중수심에서 경제성 확보가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 모노파일을 포함하여 트라이포드, 재킷 하부구조물을 채택한 고정식 해상풍력터빈에 대하여 지반물성치 및 하중의 불확실성, 그리고 세굴 깊이를 고려하여 신뢰성 해석을 수행하였다. NREL 5 MW 풍력터빈 제원을 이용한 수치해석을 통하여, 지반물성치의 불확실성을 고려한 신뢰도 지수 분석 결과 모노파일 기초를 채택한 해상풍력터빈의 신뢰도 지수가 세굴깊이가 증가함에 따라 크게 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 재킷 또는 트라이포드 기초를 채택한 경우 세굴깊이가 신뢰도 지수에 미치는 영향이 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 재킷 또는 트라이포드 기초를 채택한 해상풍력터빈의 경우 지반-말뚝 상호작용을 고려하지 않아도 구조 신뢰성 해석을 수행할 수 있으나, 모노파일을 채택한 경우, 신뢰성 해석 시 지반물성치 및 이에 포함되어 있는 불확실성의 정보가 상대적으로 중요함을 알 수 있다.

최근 전 세계적으로 화석연료 고갈에 대비하여 신재생에너지에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 특히, 해상풍력발전기는 경제성 측면에서 매우 뛰어난 기술로 알려져 있다. 그런데, 해상 풍력발전기는 바람과 풍력 하중 때문에 저면에 큰 모멘트가 발생하므로 대구경 모노파일을 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 이 때, 대구경 말뚝을 경제적으로 설계하려면 기초구조물의 강성이 타워의 최대 모멘트 값에 미치는 영향을 고려하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기초구조물 강성을 산정할 때 모노파일의 대구경 효과를 정밀히 고려하기 위하여 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하고, 기존의 p-y 해석법에 의한 강성산정 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에 적용한 예제의 해석결과, 기초구조물의 강성 산정방법에 따른 말뚝두부 최대 모멘트 값의 변화는 크지 않았지만 말뚝두부 최대 기울어짐 각의 경우 유한요소해석법이 p-y 해석법에 비하여 14% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로, 기울어짐 각이 성능수준에 영향을 미치는 경우 유한요소해석법을 적용하여 기초강성 효과를 정밀하게 고려하는 것이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbines, the conventional approach for controlling power-production operation relies on a generator-torque controller and a rotor-collective blade-pitch controller. Both controllers use the generator speed measurement as the sole feedback input. In order to mitigate unwanted excitation of the control system, many filters are adopted. In this study, the characteristics of some filters for signal processing are investigated based on frequency response function. They include low-pass filters, band-pass filters, and notch filters. Especially, this study focuses on design parameters of their filters.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is defined as the interaction phenomena of electromagnetic waves scattered from a large structure or complex terrain. In this study, the propagation of linear wave is modeled with ray theory, direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), and some classical theories on flat plates. The wave physics of reflection, refraction, and diffraction are simulated for the investigation of front and back scattering of the one-dimensional plane wave from a tower with ray theory and DSMC, respectively. The effect of rotating disk idealized from the real wind-turbine blades is modeled with a simplified version of the classical electromagnetic theory as well as DSMC based on the ray theory.

The insertion of the crowbar system in the doubly fed induction generator rotor circuit for a short period of time during grid disturbance enables a more efficient way of limiting transient rotor current and hence protecting the rotor side converter (RSC) and the DC - link capacitor. When crowbar is activated at fault occurrence and clearance time, RSC is blocked while DC -link capacitor and the grid side converter (GSC) can be controlled to provide reactive power support at the PCC and improve the voltage which helps to comply with grid codes. In this paper, control strategies for crowbar system to limit the rotor current during fault is presented with RSC and GSC controllers are modified to control PCC voltage during disturbance to enhance DFIG wind farm to comply with some strict grid codes. Model simulated on MATLAB/Simulink verify the study through simulation results presented.

This paper proposes a new robust decentralized power oscillation dampers (POD) design of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine for damping of low frequency electromechanical oscillations in an interconnected power system. The POD structure is based on the practical $2^{nd}$-order lead/lag compensator with single input. Without exact mathematical model, the inverse output multiplicative perturbation is applied to represent system uncertainties such as system parameters variation, various loading conditions etc. The parameters optimization of decentralized PODs is carried out so that the stabilizing performance and robust stability margin against system uncertainties are guaranteed. The improved firefly algorithm is applied to tune the optimal POD parameters automatically. Simulation study in two-area four-machine interconnected system shows that the proposed robust POD is much superior to the conventional POD in terms of stabilizing effect and robustness.

Using large monopod bucket foundations as an alternative to monopiles for offshore wind turbines offers the potential for large cost savings compared to typical piled foundations. In this paper, numerical simulations are carried out to assess the risk of structural buckling during installation of large-diameter bucket foundations. Since shell structures are generally sensitive to initially imperfect geometries, eigenmode-affine imperfections are introduced in a nonlinear finite-element analysis. The influence of modelling the real lid structure compared to classic boundary conditions is investigated. The effects of including soil restraint and soil-structure interaction on the buckling analysis are also addressed.

The global electrical energy consumption is still rising and there is a steady demand to increase the power capacity, to produce, distribute and use the energy as0 efficient as possible and furthermore to set up incentives to save energy at the md-user. Two major technologies will play important roles to fulfill those targets. One is to change the electrical power production sources from the conventional, fossil (and short term) based energy sources to renewable energy resources. The other is to use high efficiency power electronics in power systems for high efficiency and high performance applications. This paper discusses both areas, in particular the power electronic application in wind power integration.

This paper presents the design and finite-element(FE) analysis of an axial-flux permanent-magnet synchronous generator using neodymium-iron-boron(NdFeB) magnets for directly coupled wind turbines. For the high energy density and light weight, an axial-flux permanent-magnet(PM) generator type is used. The simple magnetic equivalent circuit approach is used for initial design iteration, and the finite-element method is applied to analyze the detailed characteristics.

GFRP based composite rotor blades were developed for 750 kW & 2 MW wind turbines. The blade sectional geometry was designed to have a general shell-spar and shear web structure. For verifying the structural safety under all relevant extreme loads specified in the GL guidelines, the structural analysis of the rotor blades was performed using commercial FEM codes. The static load carrying capacity, blade tip deflections and natural frequencies were evaluated to satisfy the strength and stability requirements. Full-scale proof tests of rotor blades were carried out with optical fiber sensors for real-time condition monitoring. Finally, the prototype of each rotor blade passed all proof tests for GL certification.
