A solar chimney power plant consists of four main parts, a solar collector, a chimney, an energy storage layer, and a wind turbine. So far, several investigations on the performance of the solar chimney power plant have been conducted. Among them, different approaches have been applied to model the turbine inside the system. In particular, a real wind turbine coupled to the system was simulated...

Abstract In recent years and in many countries the economic development of distant regions is increasingly dependent on energy resources. This fact makes world scientific community pay more attention to renewable sources. Special paid solar, wind small hydropower for electrical consumers who have no possibility connect central power supply lines. that water resources financial support given mic...

[1] For the first time, global ocean usable wind power is evaluated for modern offshore turbine characteristics including hub height, usable portion of the wind speed distribution, and siting depth. Mean wind power increases by 30%, 69%, and 73% within the tropics and Northern and Southern Hemisphere extratropics, respectively, between hub heights of 10 m and 100 m. A turbine with a cut‐out spe...

In this study, a standalone hybrid wind turbine (WT)/photovoltaic (PV)/biomass/pump-hydro-storage energy system was designed and optimized based on technical, economic, environmental parameters to provide the load demand with an objective function of minimum cost (COE). The constraints proposed approach are loss power supply probability, excess fraction. allows combination different sources bes...

In this paper, a wind turbine simulator is developed using PSCAD. The wind turbine static characteristics are modeled using the relation among the turbine power, the wind speed, and the blade pitch angle. Also, the dynamic characteristics of the wind turbine are modeled through a two-mass oscillating system, representing the turbine and the generator connected by elastic shaft. The system consi...

Like many developed countries, energy efficiency and environment impact are the most important process in the development of power generation policy in India. A high ambient temperature reduces the air density and makes inlet air cooling (IAC) and steam injection gas turbine (STIG) attractive power augmentation method for existing regenerative gas turbine. With a high back work ratio and a high...

This paper presents fuzzy logic control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind turbine in a sample power system. DFIG consists of a common induction generator with slip ring and a partial scale power electronic converter. Fuzzy logic controller is applied to rotor side converter for active power control and voltage regulation of wind turbine. Wind turbine and its control unit are describ...

Variable-speed, fixed-pitch wind turbines are required to optimize power output performance without the aerodynamic controls. A wind turbine generator system is operated such that the optimum points of wind rotor curve and electrical generator curve coincide. In order to obtain maximum power output of a wind turbine generator system, it is necessary to drive the wind turbine at an optimal rotor...
