the influence of wind erosion on soil productivity was studied applying fan-forced wind in a wind tunnel located in the campo de nijar area in se spain where the main crops are cereals. wind erosion is highly variable depending on the type of soil (aric-haplic calcisols, aric-calcaric cambisols or aric-calcic luvisols, according to iuss working group wrb, 2014) and the time elapsed since the la...

The main goal of this paper is to study statistical indices and evaluate AGC indices in power system which has large penetration of the WTGs. Increasing penetration of wind turbine generations, needs to study more about impacts of it on power system frequency control. Frequency control is changed with unbalancing real-time system generation and load . Also wind turbine generations have more flu...

Local renewable resources such as wind and solar are often available in remote locations. Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transm­iss­i­o­n ne­tw­o­r­k­. A wind farm can use the wind resources from a certain area efficiently. Double-fed induction generator (DFIG) is a gene­rating principle widely used in wind turbine (WT). DFIG are ab...

The correlation lengths of vorticity anomalies from temporal averages are examined in the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis dataset. It is shown that, in the annual mean, eddies in the Southern Hemisphere are significantly larger than those in the Northern Hemisphere. The eddy vorticity lengths exhibit a strong seasonal cycle, with the largest scales occurring...

One of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (WECS) is how to achieve maxim‌u‌m output power in different wind speeds. Maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst‌e‌ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. So, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. In this pape...

the majority of iran’s area is covered by arid and semiarid climates. in these areas, wind causes more erosion compared to water. therefore, determination of wind characteristics especially its velocity is very important. one of the simplest methods that can supply researchers with the origin of wind erosion in the shortest time is synthesizing sand rose model and interpretation of aerial photo...

In this using paper a method is presented for the aerodynamic and structural analysis of a horizontal axis wind turbine using simplified methods. In the first part of the program the optimum rotor configuration for twist and chord is determined using the momentum and blade element theories for a rotor without coning or tilting and assuming zero drag average wind velocity. Then coning angle and ...
