The combustion instability in a dual swirl combustor was investigated experimentally. The effects of thermal power and combustor length on combustion instability were evaluated. Pressure and heat release fluctuation were measured simultaneously. In a conventional combustor, the frequency was decreased with increasing combustor length and decreasing thermal power. However, it showed different results with a dual swirl combustor. In regime 1 where thermal power was relatively high, the results showed same tendency with a conventional combustor. In regime 2 where thermal power was relatively low, the frequency was almost constant with increasing combustor length. It was found that a beating phenomenon occurred with increased combustor length in regime 2 by measuring sound pressure fluctuation. By confirming that beating phenomenon occurs only in regime 2, it is considered that beating phenomenon is the dominant factor of combustion instability in regime 2. This beating phenomenon inside combustion chamber greatly affected to combustion instability. The reason of the beating phenomenon seemed to be the difference oscillating period between main flame and pilot flame.

본 연구에서는 PVDF 중공사막을 열유도상분리와 연신의 복합공정에 의해 제조하였으며, 연신비에 따른 분리막의 구조 및 물성을 분석하였다. 이 분리막 제조의 메카니즘은 액-액 상분리에 기초하며, 최종 중공사막은 bicontinuous한 구조와 연신에 의해 fibrill 구조를 가지게 되어, 구정(spherulite)구조를 갖는 고-액 상분리막과 bicontinuous한 구조만을 갖는 액-액상분리막과 차별화된다. 우선, TIPS공정을 통해, gamma-butyrolacton, dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-butyl phthalate (DBP) 등을 단일 혹은 이들을 조합한 혼합 diluent로 사용하여, 냉각조건, PVDF와 희석제의 함량을 조절하면서 중공사막 전구체를 제조하고, 후속공정인 연신에 의해 최종적으로 중공사막의 외부표면을 porous하게, 혹은 dense하게 만들 수 있었다. 연신된 중공사막을 에탄올에 추출, 건조한 후 SEM을 통하여 pore 구조의 변화를 관찰하였으며, 수투과량, 다공도, 기공 크기, 표면 거칠기, 인장강도 등의 변화를 분석하였다.

해안 풍력단지 개발에 이어 해상 풍력단지 개발이 추진되고 있는 전라남도 신안군 비금도에 대한 장기간 풍력자원평가를 수행하였다. 해당 권역의 측정자료에 대한 상관분석을 통하여 신안풍력발전소 SCADA 자료와 LIDAR 측정자료를 유의한 풍력자원 측정자료로 선정하였으며, MERRA 재해석자료를 참조자료로 선택하여 Matrix Time Series MCP로 장기보정하였다. 장기보정 자료로부터 34년간의 바람인덱스를 산정하였는데 풍속과 풍력발전량의 변동률은 각각 2.0%, 5.4%이며 그 불확도는 각각 1.2%, 2.8%로 산정되었다. 특히 2010년부터 라니냐의 영향이 증대되며 바람인덱스가 평년 대비 높은 수준을 보이고 있음을 확인하였다.

최근 관심을 받는 풍력자원개발에 대한 기초적, 실용적인 연구를 수행하고 자료를 확보하기 위해서는 실제 그 지역 주위 유동특성에 대한 지식이 매우 중요하다. 두 개의 초음파 유속계와 널리 사용되고 있는 컵유속계와 풍향기를 유동방향에 수직하게 설치하여 높이가 약 4.5m에서 풍속의 평균과 변동성분을 측정하였다. 실험 결과 레이놀즈 수는 약 6.7×105, 그리고 마찰유속, u*는 약 0.32m/s로 측정되었다. 수평 및 수직 평면 풍속에 대한 파워 스펙트럼 분석은 다양한 주파수 범위의 값들을 조합하여 넓은 주파수 범위에 대해 분석 할 수 있었다. 스펙트럼 분석 결과 4개의 지배적인 와류 에너지 피크 값을 관찰 할 수 있는데, 각각의 피크 값들은 약 1~2분, 8시간, 24시간 그리고 100시간의 주기로 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 이 피크들 사이에 넓은 스펙트럼 갭이 0.2~10 cycle/hour 주파수 범위에 걸쳐 나타나고 있다.

Three meteor-statistical forecasting models - the transfer function model, the time-series autoregressive model and the neural networks model - were tested to develop a daily forecasting model for Jejudo, where the need and demand for wind power forecasting has increased. All the meteorological observation sites in Jejudo have been classified into 6 groups using a cluster analysis. Four pairs of observation sites among them, all having strong wind speed correlation within the same meteorological group, were chosen for a model test. In the development of the wind speed forecasting model for Jejudo, it was confirmed that not only the use a wind dataset at the objective site itself, but the introduction of another wind dataset at the nearest site having a strong wind speed correlation within the same group, would enhance the goodness to fit of the forecasting. A transfer function model and a neural network model were also confirmed to offer reliable predictions, with the similar goodness to fit level.

Recently, wind power generation is an emerging industry expanding its market rapidly thanks to the increasing need to solve the scarcity of fossil fuels and the risk of potential global warming. Wind power generation has shown to be an effective response plan to global warming, showing the most price competitiveness among the renewable energy sources by its higher efficiency. Therefore wind energy has attracted considerable attention as the industrial growth drive for the next generation. Considering Korea’s high dependence of overseas energy resources, the importance of wind power is growing as the most effective alternative energy source to ensure energy security as well as becoming a key strategic industry for exports. In this study, the social and economic effects of the wind power industry is discussed and the current status and the future prospects of the wind energy market is also examined.

The physical properties of an atmospheric boundary layer in Wolryong, a west coastal region of Jeju, South Korea, in terms of the atmospheric stability and roughness length, is important and relevant to both engineers and scientists. The study is aiming to understand the atmospheric stability around this region and its effect on the roughness length. We calculate the Monin-Obukhov length(L) against 3 typical regions of the atmospheric condition - unstable regime (-5<H/L<-0.2), neutral regime (-0.2≤H/L≤0.2) and stable regime (0.2<H/L<2), where H is the measurement height. The diurnal Monin-Obukhov length substantially varies in the night, but most of the H/L comes under the neutral regime. The roughness length scale can be derived by three different methods - logarithmic profile, standard deviation and gust factor method. The finding in the study is that the methods of the standard deviation and the gust factor, apart from the logarithmic profile, are all similar in terms of the roughness length under the different atmospheric conditions. In addition, they have sufficiently shown the effect of obstacles and surface conditions around the measurement site.

In order to support the development of wind farms in Jejudo, a wind resource database for Jejudo has been established using a meteor-statistical analysis of KIER(Korea Institute of Energy Research) met-mast measurements and KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration) weather data. The analysis included wind statistics, tower shading, an exposure category classification using satellite images, the effect of atmospheric stability on the wind profile exponent, and a correlation matrix of wind speed to gain an understanding of the meteorological correlation between long-term weather observation stations and short-term met-mast measurements. The wind resource database for Jejudo, is to be provided as an add-on to Google EarthTM, which is expected to be utilized as a guideline for the selection of an appropriate reference site for long-term correction in the next wind farm development project.
