This is an elementary study on the application of small-sized exhaust wind power generation to exhausters on the rooftop of high-rise apartment buildings, Here, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation is performed to determine the effect of multi-diffusers for exhaust wind velocity amplification and external wind attraction; the experiments are conducted using miniatures and actual mock-ups. The results of the study are summarized as follows. From the simulation of multi-diffusers for exhaust and ventilation, the wind velocity increased with a greater number of installations of devices, where up to eight was possible and about six was found to be appropriate. In simulation of exhaust effect, an increase in the external wind velocity leads augmentation in the exhauster wind velocity; in particular, it was confirmed that even when there was no exhaust wind (0m/s), there was an exhaust air rise effect due to inflow of the external wind, itself. In the results of experiments with miniatures and mock-ups, the exhauster discharge wind velocity increased due to the external air inflow in the apartment building exhauster, confirming the existence of an exhaust effect. The wind velocity increase rate was greater at the upper part than at the lower part, leading to the prediction that it would be possible to secure over 3m/s, the initial operation wind velocity of small wind power.Keywords: super high-rise apartment; small wind power system; combined ventilator (out air + shift on duct air)
Introduction 1.1 Study background and objectiveRecently, due to global greenhouse gas reduction policies, energy savings in buildings have been increasingly emphasized. Currently, Apartment houses represent more than 50% of residential buildings in Korea. Due to the over-densification of cities and reduction of land areas, the construction of highrise apartment houses is rapidly increasing. High-rise buildings, however, have the shortfall of large energy consumption due to their structure. And particularly a lack of ventilation compared to low-rise buildings. In recent studies, small-sized wind power generation has been applied for energy savings in high-rise buildings (Hyun-Do Chun, Dong-Yun Lee et al.). On the other hand, in urban areas, it is difficult to stably secure a wind environment of 3 m/s, the initial operation power of wind power generation for high-rise buildings.It has been demonstrated that an exhaust duct wind of 0.5 m/s ~ 1.5 m/s can be secured in high-rise
