| Abstract |
The selection of a site where strong wind blows is important to increase effectively the electricity of wind power in pro-portion to the cube of the wind speed. It is advisable to establish the wind turbine in the coastal area with strong wind speed rather than in the inland. And the development of offshore wind energy is expected to solve the noise problem that is one of the important weaknesses in the wind turbine. In the process of the development business of wind energy, knowing forehead the wind power possibility in any area is one of the essential factors to choose the most optimum site of wind power. In this paper, the potential of wind power around JeJu coastal area is examined by using the wind data that Korea Meteorological Administration has surveyed for 10 years in 14 observation points. Wind speed data is revised to wind speed in 80 meters assuming installation height of the wind turbine, and wind power density and annual wind energy are also calculated. And annual electricity generation and percent of energy efficiency in all the observation points are estimated by using the information about 3,000 ㎾ wind turbine. |
