Wind Power Integration: An Experimental Investigation for Powering Local Communities

An Energy Storage System Sizing Method for Wind Power Integration

Combining an energy storage system (ESS) with a wind farm is an effective way to increase the penetration rate of wind power. ESS sizing is an important part in wind farm planning nowadays. In this paper, a basic method for determining the optimal capacity of an ESS integrated with a wind power generator to meet the requirements of grid integration is presented. With the proposed method, the ne...

Wind Power Integration: Network Issues

Power Converters for Grid Integration of Wind Power Systems

This paper presents the different power converters for grid integration of wind power systems. In wind power systems while integrating with grid, power quality issues are becoming more predominant. This can solve by using power electronics converters like two level back to back converter and matrix converters. Converters are compared on the basis of efficiencies, voltage conversion ratios and T...

An Experimental Investigation of Iterated Local Search for Coloring Graphs

Graph coloring is a well known problem from graph theory that, when attacking it with local search algorithms, is typically treated as a series of constraint satisfaction problems: for a given number of colors one has to find a feasible coloring; once such a coloring is found, the number of colors is decreased and the local search starts again. Here we explore the application of Iterated Local ...

Large scale wind power integration challenges

In the scenario of energy and environmental crises that we are facing today, integrating renewable sources of energy with the existing power grids is rapidly becoming the most obvious solution. Harnessing electricity from wind is a promising option that has lately attracted attention and research funding worldwide. However, increasing wind power penetration still remains a daunting problem star...
