In this study, the authors present a coupled fluid-structures-seabed interaction analysis of a monopile type of wind turbine foundations in liquefiable soils. A two dimensional analysis is performed with a nonlinear stiffness degradation model incorporated in the finite difference program Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC), which captured the fundamental mechanisms of the monopiles in saturated granular soil. The effects of inertia and the kinematic flow of soil are investigated separately, to highlight the importance of considering the combined effect of these phenomena on the seismic design of offshore monopiles. Different seismic loads, such as those experienced in the Kobe, Santa Cruz, Loma Prieta, Kocaeli, and Morgan Hill earthquakes, are analyzed. The pore water pressure development, relative displacements, soil skeleton deformation and monopile bending moment are obtained for different predominant frequencies and peak accelerations. The findings are verified with results in the liter.

무공해 에너지원은 화석에너지의 고갈과 환경오염의 심각한 문제로 인하여 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 그중 풍력발전 시스템은 타 에너지원에 비해 여러 가지 측면에서 유리한 점을 가치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 500Kw급 풍력발전 시스템을 개발함에 있어, 적합한 공력 성능 및 구조성능을 가지는 회전날개 설계과정을 수행하였다. 공력설계는 운용지역의 풍황을 고려하여 회전날개의 외형을 결정하였고 이를 바탕으로 공력성능해석이 수행되었으며, 구조설계는 복합재료를 사용하여 쉘-스파 구조를 갖도록 설계하여 굽힘 및 비틀림 그리고 피로수명에 대한 구조해석이 수행되었다. 그 결과 4m/s의 미풍에서도 운용가능하며, 12m/s에서는 정격출력 550Kw를 생산할 수 있는 형상이 설계되었고, 또한 20년 이상의 피로수명이 확보되었으며, 공질 등의 동적인 문제도 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 풍력 발전기에 사용되는 블레이드의 동특성을 해석하기 위한 프로그램을 개발하였다. 복잡한 형상의 풍력 발전기 블레이드의 모델을 단순화시키기 위하여 보 이론을 이용하였다. 블레이드의 회전 운동은 Hamilton 원리를 유한요소 보 모델을 이용하여 정식화를 수행하였다. 회전 속도에 따라 블레이드에 적용되는 원심력과 검증된 단면 물성치를 이용하여 복합재료 블레이드의 고유치 해석을 수행하였다. 기존의 상용 소프트웨어의 해석 결과와 비교를 통하여 검증 연구를 수행하였으며, 이를 토대로 본 해석 프로그램의 타당성을 보였다.

Objective of this paper is to introduce a new technology known as prognostics and health management (PHM) which enables a real-time life prediction for safety critical systems under extreme loading conditions. In the PHM, Bayesian framework is employed to account for uncertainties and probabilities arising in the overall process including condition monitoring, fault severity estimation and failure predictions. Three applications - aircraft fuselage crack, gearbox spall and battery capacity degradation are taken to illustrate the approach, in which the life is predicted and validated by end-of-life results. The PHM technology may allow new maintenance strategy that achieves higher degree of safety while reducing the cost in effective manner.

This paper describes the numerical analysis of effect of geometric variation on the straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine. Geometry variation is performed with pockets on the blades. The results presented in this numerical analysis show the general flow pattern of near the bladed, and azimuth angle variation on stating torque value. It is shown that the pockets makes torque higher about 80%.

Two-dimensional Navier-Stokes code has been developed for analysis of turbomachinery blade rows and other internal flows. The Navier-Stokes equations are written in a Cartesian coordinate system, then mapped into a generalized body-fitted coordinate system. All direction of viscous terms are incorporated and turbulent effects are modeled using the Baldwin-Lomax algebraic model. Equation are discretized using finite difference method on the C-type grids and solved using implicit LU-ADI decomposition scheme. Calculations are made at a VKI turbine cascade flow in a transonic wind-tunnel and compared to experimental data. Present numerical scheme is shown to be in good agreement with the previous experimental results and simulates the two-dimensional viscous flow phenomena.

Recently, more power facilities are needed to cope with the increasing electric demand. However, the additional construction of generators, transmission and distribution installations is not easy because of environmental problems and citizen's complaints. Under this circumstance, a microgrid system with distributed renewable resources emerges as an alternative of the traditional power systems. Moreover, the configuration of power system changes with more DC loads and more DC installations. This paper is written to introduce an idea of a genetic algorithm-based solution to determine the optimal capacity of the distributed generators depending on the types of system configuration: AC-link, DC-link and Hybrid-link types. In this paper, photovoltaic, wind turbine, energy storage system and diesel generator are considered as distributed generators and the feasibility of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the calculated capacity of each distributed resource with HOMER simulation results for 3 types of system configuration.

Taper roller bearing is used on rotating shaft where radial and thrust loads are attended. To avoid the sudden failure and maintain the good condition of rotating machinery it is necessary to monitor the condition of bearing and diagnose the defect of bearing. In this study the diagnosis program of taper roller bearing which is used on the lower bearing of V.A.W.T. (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine) is developed. By plenty of test the database is constructed and by Gaussian distribution obtained from database the defect probability of bearing is calculated.

풍력을 이용한 풍력발전기의 전력변환 시스템을 개발하기 위해서는 바람특성을 정확히 분석하고 이를 대치할 수 있는 모의시험 장치가 필수적이다. 모의시험 장치는 풍향, 풍속 등의 인자들을 입력받아 회전 블레이드의 토오크를 전동기가 대신해서 발전기에 공급하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 풍력발전 모의시험 장치를 이용해서 현재 개발 중인 750kW gearless형 풍력발전 시스템의 인버터 특성과 고효율의 전력변환 설계를 위해 시험용 지그에서 시험한 결과를 보이고자 한다.

A power limiting algorithm is proposed for stable operation of grid-connected inverter in case of grid voltage unbalance considering the operation limit of inverter. During the voltage unbalance the control performance of Inverter. is degraded and the output power contains 120Hz ripple due to the negative sequence of voltage. In this paper, conventional dual sequence current controller is implemented to solve these problems using separated control of positive and negative sequence. Especially the maximum power limit which guarantees the maximum rated current of the inverter is automatically calculated as the instant grid voltage changes. As soon as the voltage recovers the proposed algorithm can return to the normal power control mode accomplishing low voltage ride through. Proposed algorithm is verifed using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations and tested experimentally at 4.4kW wind turbine simulator set-up.
