부유식 해상풍력발전시스템의 해양공학기술 현황 및 발전방향

Abstract

Floating offshore wind power system are being actively developed around the world. The key point of the development is the integration of traditional wind turbine technique and related marine engineering technologies such as environmental condition of installation site, location, floating structure, mooring system, outfitting, electrical and machinery equipment. Internationally, marine engineering companies in Europe and Japan are leading the development of related technologies and on-site demonstration. Since the related companies are leading the development, it has high technological advances and market potential which can lead to early commercialization. Marine engineering takes an important role, at least 50%, in the development of floating wind power generation technology. Most of floating structures such as semi-submersible, TLP(tension-leg platform), SPAR are typical oil drilling platform. In case of Korea, there is an opportunity to pioneer and occupy the future market since related industries such as design engineering business, plant production, mooring equipment, transportation and installation engineering business are led by not only small but also major companies. Furthermore, possibility of large scale development in deep sea area and possibility to improve economic efficiency by utilizing very large structures exist. Lastly securing relevant technologies for commercialization and industrialization is n
