  • This paper presents an application of optimization method for efficient operation in micro grid. For operational efficiency, the objective function in a diesel generator consists of the fuel cost function similar to the cost functions used for the conventional fossil-fuel generating plants. The wind turbine generator is modeled by the characteristics of variable output. The cost function of fuel cell plant considers the efficiency of fuel cell. Particle swarm optimization(PSO) and sequential quadratic programming(SQP) are used for solving the problem of microgrid system operation. Also, from the results this paper presents the way to attend power markets which can buy and sell power from upper lever grids by connecting a various generation resources to micro grid.

  • 풍력발전기에 있어서 블레이드의 Yaw방향 제어는 끊임없이 변화하는 풍향에 대해 효율의 극대화와 블레이드의 강도 및 진동측면에서 대단히 중요하다. 기존의 블레이드 Yaw 방향 측정은 접촉 및 비접촉 센서가 이용되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 풍력발전기의 원격모니터링 시스템에서 기본적으로 설치되는 카메라를 이용하여 블레이드의 Yaw방향을 측정하는 방법을 제안한다. 블레이드가 풍향에 따라 회전할 때 영상 누적을 행하고, 누적영상에 대해 경계점을 추정하여 타원의 궤적을 추정한다. 추정된 경계점들을 이용하고 최소자승법을 적용하여 타원방정식을 추정하고, 장축과 단축을 연산한다. 장축과 단축의 변화를 이용하여 카메라의 촬영방향의 기준점으로부터 Yaw방향의 변화를 정량적인 값으로 산출하여 이를 바탕으로 Yaw회전각을 추정한다. Yaw 방향 추정의 검증을 위해 블레이드 속도와 Yaw 방향의 제어가 가능한 모형풍력발전기를 제작하고 실험을 통하여 제안한 추정알고리즘의 유효성을 검증한다.

  • In this paper, the slamming coefficients on local members of a jacket structure under plunging breaker are studied based on numerical simulations. A 3D numerical model is used to investigate breaking wave forces on the local members of the jacket structure. A wide range of breaking wave conditions is considered in order to get generalized slamming coefficients on the jacket structure. In order to make quantitative comparison between CFD model and experimental data, Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is employed for obtaining net breaking wave forces from the measured response, and the filtered results are compared with the computed results in order to confirm the accuracy of the numerical model. Based on the validated results, the slamming coefficients on the local members (front and back vertical members, front and back inclined members, and side inclined members) are estimated. The distribution of the slamming coefficients on local members is also discussed.

  • This paper presents the results of a theoretical energy analysis of a research test bed called the Zero Net Energy Test House (ZNETH) in Omaha, Nebraska in U.S.A. The ZNETH project is being designed and built with the goal of consuming a negligible amount of energy by offsetting remaining usage after energy conservation. The theoretically consumed and generated energy levels were analyzed using energy modeling software programs. By integrating a highly graphical and intuitive analysis with a Building Information Model(BIM) of the house, this investigation introduces strategies to include sustainable materials and systems to predict energy generation with a case study of ZNETH. In addition, this paper introduces parametric analyses for better envelope design and construction material selection by analyzing simulated energy consumption with various parametric inputs, e.g., material types, location, and size. It was found that the current design of ZNETH does not meet its goal of zero net energy. Sugeestions are presented to assist ZHETH in meeting its net zero energy goal.

  • Ice accretion on the solid surface is an importance factor in assessing the performance of aircraft and wind turbine blade. Changes in the external shape due to ice accretion can greatly deteriorate the aerodynamic performance. In this study, a three-dimensional upwind-type second-order positivity-preserving finite volume CFD scheme based on the unstructured mesh topology is developed to simulate two-phase flow in atmospheric icing condition. The code is then validated by comparing with NASA IRT experimental data on the sphere. The present results of the collection efficiency are found to be in close agreement with experimental data and show improvement near the stagnation region.
