With the mass introduction of wind power in Northern China, wind power variability has appeared. In this article, both existing electric heat pumps (EHPs) and coal-fired combined heat and power (CHP) facilities, which are generally equipped with extraction-condensing steam turbines coupled with district heating for space heating purposes, are proposed to incorporate the variability of wind powe...

Generation of mesoscale eddies in the eastern South China Sea (SCS) in winters during August 1999 to July 2002 is studied with a reduced-gravity model. It is found that the orographic wind jets associated with the northeast winter monsoon and the gaps in the mountainous island chain along the eastern boundary of the SCS can spin up cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies over the SCS. Results suggest ...

This paper discusses the performance of various intelligent control schemes in extracting maximum wind power using doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Intelligent control scheme such as fuzzy, neuro-fuzzy, and genetic algorithm based fuzzy controllers are applied for pitch control of DFIG based wind generation system. Wind generation system with eight numbers of identical 1.5MW wind generato...

Due to development of the demand increasing of energy around the world and the decline of traditional energy sources in electricity generation the development orientation of power generation has been toward renewable energies. The use of these unfailing and renewable resources requires study substrates and new infrastructure in the transmission and distribution networks. Due to the power instab...

This paper presents automatic reactive power control of the isolated wind-diesel hybrid power systems. The synchronous generator (SG) is used for power generation from diesel and the induction generator (IG) is used for electric power generation from wind turbine. To minimize the gap between reactive power generation and demand, the variable sources of reactive power is used such as static sync...

A comprehensive control strategy, for the variable speed cage induction achine that addresses the control objectives in a wind generation system,i.e.control of the local bus voltage to avoid voltage rise, capture of maximum power in the wind. The control signals are the desired current wave shapes of the rectifier and the inverter in a double–sided PWM converter system connected between the win...

The rapid depletion of conventional sources for power generation necessitates the need of renewable energy power plants. Renewable sources primarily wind and solar are available free of cost and counts for cleaner source of energy thereby reducing environmental concern. The potential of wind energy needs to be harnessed effectively for optimum power generation. Present research aims at comparis...

Renewable energy sources i.e.,energy generated from solar, wind, biomass, hydro power, geothermal and ocean resources are considered as a technological option for generating clean energy. But the energy generated from solar and wind is much less than the production by fossil fuels, however, electricity generation by utilizing PV cells and wind turbine increased rapidly in recent years. This pap...
