![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Assessment of offshore wind energy at Younggwang in Korea Assessment of offshore wind energy at Younggwang in Korea](/preview/png/1750138.png)
This study aimed to assess the potential of offshore wind power generation at Younggwang in Korea which is candidate site of the offshore wind farm planned to be constructed till 2019. Toward this purpose, offshore meteorological tower called HEMOSU-1 was installed and has collected the wind and other meteorological data since October, 2010. The Weibull model was fitted to the frequency distribution of data and it was found that the measured data fit well to Weibull models with properly estimated parameters. Winter was found to be the best for harnessing wind energy because of the high wind speeds and consistent wind direction from the northwestern Siberian high. An assessment of the available power density at the height of 97.35 m indicates that there is an abundant wind power density—averaged to be 429.20 W/m2 annually and 509.97 W/m2 during winter. After testing various commercial wind turbines with rated power in the range of 3–7 MW, REpower 5 M was chosen for the analysis of installation at the wind farm in Younggwang. It was found that the annual energy production is expected to be about 7096 GWh/yr.
