Abstract

Since global energy consumption and demand for energy have dramatically risen, a focus on environmental problems and sustainability has become more important. Clean and renewable energy sources such as offshore wind power generation have received attention among new renewable energy options as alternative energy resources. Due to maintenance and operational perspectives, offshore wind farms have been planned for installation in many coastal waters. However, development of offshore wind farms faces interference from existing maritime traffic along the planned areas. In order to safely and effectively govern marine traffic in the vicinity of wind farms and inner areas, standard criteria are suggested to allow vessels to sail the internal waters of offshore wind farm areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish allowable criteria for sailing vessels and safety zones for offshore wind farms by investigating the local regulations of various offshore wind farm cases overseas. The commended inner safety zone of wind farms is proposed to be a distance of 150 % of the rotation diameter of the wind turbine rotor and a distance of 200 m from the outer wind turbine for the outer safety zone. Besides this, the allowable criteria for sailing vessels within a wind farm is proposed to have an air draft of 14.47 m south-west wind farm sea areas for a minimum margin to avoid hull contact through evaluation of the tide and height of a wind turbine. further studies will be needed to establish vessel sailing criteria among adjacent offshore wind farms as well as vessel sailing criteria within a single offshore wind farm.

세계 에너지 소비와 에너지 수요가 급격히 증가함에 따라 환경문제와 지속가능성에 대한 관심이 요즘 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 신재생에너지 중 해상풍력발전과 같은 깨끗하고 재생가능한 에너지자원은 대체에너지 자원으로 주목받고 있다. 유지보수 및 운영상의 관점에서 해상풍력발전은 일반적으로 연근해해역에 설치될 계획이지만 해상풍력발전단지의 개발은 계획된 풍력단지를 따라 기존의 해상교통으로부터 다양한 해상교통 간섭에 직면해 있는 실정이다. 해상풍력발전단지 인근해역 및 단지 내에서 해상교통을 안전하고 효과적으로 통제하기 위해 선박이 해상풍력단지 내에서 통항할 수 있도록 표준 기준을 제안한다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 국외 해상풍력발전단지의 현지 규정을 조사하여 해상풍력발전단지에 대한 선박통항 허용 및 안전구역 기준을 수립 하는데 있다. 풍력단지의 내측 안전구역은 풍력터빈 날개 회전직경의 150 %를 적용한 거리와 외측안전구역으로는 외곽에 위치한 풍력터빈으로부터 200 m의 범위의 거리를 제시하였으며, 또한 풍력단지 내 선박통항 허용기준은 풍력터빈 날개의 높이와 조위를 평가하여 향후 서남해 해상풍력발전단지의 실증단지 해역에서 Air draft 14.47 m가 선체 접촉을 피할 수 있는 최소 마진을 가진 기준을 제시하였다. 향후 연구과제로서, 단일 해상풍력단지 내의 선박 통항 기준과 더불어 인접한 해상풍력단지 간의 선박통항 기준마련을 위한 후속연구가 필요하다.
