Probabilistic Models for Wind Turbine and Wind Farm Performance

A Markov model for the performance of wind turbines is developed that accounts for component reliability and the effect of wind speed and turbine capacity on component reliability. The model is calibrated to the observed performance of offshore turbines in the north of Europe, and uses wind records obtained from the coast of the state of Maine in the northeast United States in simulation. Simul...

Design of Wind Turbine Controllers

Owing to concern over the environment, there is much interest in renewable sources of energy, one of the most promising of which is wind power. Wind power is not yet a mature technology and one of the issues to be resolved is the most effective manner in which to regulate the wind turbines are posed by the different wind turbine configurations. A variety of control design tasks with differing o...

Wind turbine end-of-life:

Wind power is growing fast all over the world, and in Sweden alone thousands of turbines has been installed the last few decades. Although the number of decommissioned turbines so far is very low, the rapid installation rate indicates that a similar rapid decommissioning rate is to be expected shortly. If the waste material from these turbines is not handled sustainably the whole concept of win...

Effect of Wind Speed and Load Correlation on ELCC of Wind Turbine Generator

Utilization of wind turbines as economic and green production units, poses new challenges to the power system planners, mainly due to the stochastic nature of the wind, adding a new source of uncertainty to the power system. Different types of distribution and correlation between this random variable and the system load makes conventional method inappropriate for modeling such a correlation. In...
