Model Predictive and Linear Quadratic Gaussian controllers are designed for a 5MW variable-speed pitchregulated wind turbine for three operating points – below rated wind speed, just above rated wind speed, and above rated wind speed. The controllers are designed based on two different linear dynamic models (at each operating point) of the same wind turbine to study the effect of utilising diff...

This paper discusses how wind power uncertainty affects power system adequacy from an operational point of view. A method is presented to produce wind power generation simulated data to feed a Monte Carlo scheme. The Monte Carlo scheme randomly selects forced outage patterns for each conventional generator and wind power simulated patterns in order to evaluate how system adequacy metrics, such ...

The use of renewable energy sources in world will increase, leading to a more sustainable energy mix, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a lower dependency from oil. Wind power is one of the renewable energy sources that have virtually no environmental problems; it is one of the fastest growing sources of energy in the world. In industry, the wind power creates new jobs, encourages innovation...

The Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology (FCHLPM) performs an annual review of computer models that have been submitted by vendors for use in insurance rate filling in Florida. As part of the review process and to comply with the Sunshine Law, the FCHLPM employs a Professional Team to perform onsite (confidential) audits of these models. Members of the Professional Team r...

The increased integration of wind power into the grid poses challenges due to its intermittency. Besides, deregulation of the energy markets brings electricity prices uncertainty. Hence, a new hybrid intelligent approach is proposed in this paper to forecast wind power and electricity prices in the short-term. Results from realworld case studies are presented, in order to illustrate the profici...

With the large-scale volatility and uncertainty of centralized grid connection wind power, dimensionality disaster problem farm cluster (WFC) scheduling optimization calculation becomes more significant. In view these challenges, a distributed active power optimal dispatch model for WFC based on alternating direction multiplier method (ADMM) is proposed, analytical description distribution char...

Virtual power plant (VPP) can be studied to investigate how energy is purchased or sold in the presence of electricity market price uncertainty. The VPP uses different intermittent distributed sources such as wind turbine, flexible loads, and locational marginal prices (LMPs) in order to obtain profit. VPP should propose bidding/offering curves to buy/sell from/to day-ahead market. In this pape...
