Efforts are being made to implement the Paris Agreement globally, and in December 2017, the government announced the "Implementation Plan for a Renewable Energy 3020 Plan" to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation to 20% by 2030. The government plans to supply a total of 63.8 GW of accumulated renewable energy capacity by 2030, and supply more than 95% of new facilities with clean energy such as solar and wind power. In order to achieve 20% of renewable energy generation by 2010, 13 GW of offshore wind power should be supplied.
The offshore wind power has some advantage of having not only better wind quality but also being able to be constructed in large scale with compared to the onshore wind power. On the other hand, it has high cost of construction and maintenance, limited access besides risk of erosion of facilities by sea water. Considering above tough conditions in offshore wind power, the verification of the energy output of the offshore wind farm is essential factor. For this purpose, this study aims to conduct an empirical study on 'Tamra offshore wind farm', the first offshore wind farm in Korea.
In this paper, we estimate the annual generation of wind turbines, examine the layout of the turbines to increase the maximum power generation efficiency, measure and evaluate the output performance after installing the power generation facilities.
As a result of comparing the estimated amount of power generation with that of actual one year, The amount of actual generation exceeds 113 % of estimated power generation amount.
These results confirm the commercial success of the offshore wind power project in Korea and will be used as basic data for the development of large offshore wind farm.
