In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC)-based coordinated scheduling framework for variable wind generation and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is presented. On the basis of the short-term forecast of available wind generation and price information, a joint look-ahead optimization is performed by the wind farm and storage system to determine their net power injection to the elect...

The placement of wind turbines on a given area of land such that the wind farm produces a maximum amount of energy is a challenging optimization problem. In this article, we tackle this problem, taking into account wake effects that are produced by the different turbines on the wind farm. We significantly improve upon existing results for the minimization of wake effects by developing a new pro...

Wind energy is created in mega-sized wind farms situated kilometers off shore. In fact, two possibilities are considered for the transmission system between the offshore wind farm and the onshore grid: high-voltage direct current and high-voltage alternating current. From this point of view, the current paper aims to compare both systems for a 2 GW wind farm situated 80 km from the Point of Com...

The paper presents a concept of utilizing wind farms in a process of voltage control in 110 kV distribution grids. It has been shown that when properly controlled, a wind farm can assist in decreasing voltage variations in a HV grid caused by daily load variations.It has been also shown that stabilization of HV grid voltage caused by the influence of a wind farm is reflected with decreased freq...

Wind power is sustainable, renewable and clean energy. There are abundant wind resources in Yunnan province, China. In recent years, wind power integration has developed rapidly in Yunnan province. With the first batch of the wind farm being built and a part of them going into production in Yunnan, the wind power resources will be large-scale developed and utilized in the future. Based on the w...

Voltage Stability is a key factor for the stable operation of grid connected wind farm during fault through and grid disturbances. This paper investigates the implementation and comparison of FACTS devices like STATCOM and SVC for the voltage stability issue for IG-based wind farm connected to a grid and load. The steady state behaviour of an interconnected IG based wind farm with STATCOM and S...

Wind farm layout optimization is to find the optimal positions of wind turbines inside a wind farm, so as to maximize and/or minimize a single objective or multiple objectives, while satisfying certain constraints. Most of the works in the literature divide the wind farm into cells in which turbines can be placed, hence, simplifying the problem from with continuous variables to with discrete va...

This paper investigates reducing power variance caused by different wind directions using farm layout optimization. The problem was formulated as a multi-objective [Formula: see text] constraint method used to solve the bi-objective in two-step optimization framework where two sequential optimizations were performed. first maximizing mean alone and second minimizing with on power. results show ...

The energy industry uses weather forecasts for determining future electricity demand variations due to the impact of weather, e.g., temperature and precipitation. However, as a greater component of electricity generation comes from intermittent renewable sources such as wind and solar, weather forecasting techniques need to now also focus on predicting renewable energy supply, which means adapt...

Improving performance of wind turbines through effective control strategies to reduce the power generation cost is highly desired by the wind industry. The majority of the literature on performance of wind turbines has focused on models derived from principles versed in physics. Physics-based models are usually complex and not accurate due to the fact that wind turbines involve mechanical, elec...
