Abstract: In modern wind farms, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is widely implemented. Using the MPPT method, each individual wind turbine is controlled by its pitch angle and tip speed ratio to generate the maximum active power. In a wind farm, the upstream wind turbine may cause power loss to its downstream wind turbines due to the wake effect. According to the wake model, downstream powe...

In this study, the feasibility of using micro-wind turbines to power wireless sensors on a cable-stayed bridge is comprehensively investigated. To this end, the wind environment around a bridge onto which a turbine is installed is examined, as is the power consumption of a wireless sensor. Feasible alternators and rotors are then carefully selected to make an effective small wind generator (kno...

One of the greatest challenges associated with wind power is the unpredictable character of the wind. Wind energy is one of the lowest-priced renewable energy technologies available today, costing between 4 and 6 cents per kilowatt-hour, depending upon the wind resource and project financing of the particular project. In our research, a design and modeling technique has been proposed to optimiz...

The power generated by a wind turbine largely depends on the wind speed. During time periods with identical hub-height wind speeds but different shapes to the wind profile, a turbine will produce different amounts of power. This variability may be induced by atmospheric stability, which affects profiles of mean wind speed, direction and turbulence across the rotor disk. Our letter examines turb...

Increasing levels of intermittent renewables, especially wind power, in energy systems require accurate temporal characterisation of the resources’ availability at seasonal, daily and hourly scales. This is crucial for isolated energy systems, where increasing wind power penetration is limited due to costly backup power generation requirements. In the case studies presented in this paper, the e...

The installed capacity for wind power is increasing substantially in response to the worldwide interest in low-emissions power sources and a desire to decrease the dependence on petroleum. The European Union directive 2009/28/EC enforces the mandatory target of a 20 % share of energy from renewable sources in overall Community energy consumption by 2020 and a mandatory 10 % minimum target to be...

In this Paper Analysis of Calculation Methods to calculate the losses and output power of wind turbine generator systems with using two types first one is Squirrel-Cage Induction Generator and the second is Doubly-fed Induction Generator. By using the existing methods in this paper, we can evaluate the generated output power, total system losses, total energy generated, efficiency and capacity ...

Wind energy is playing an important part for ecologically friendly power supply. Important aspects for the integration of wind power into the grid are sudden and large changes known as wind power ramp events. In this work, we treat the wind power ramp event detection problem as classification problem, which we solve with support vector machines. Wind power features from neighbored turbines are ...

A detailed model of wind power station, including Double Fed Induction Generator, DFIG is presented in this paper. Two control mechanisms are included in the model. The inner control system uses stator flux oriented control for the rotor side converter and grid voltage vector control for the grid side converter. The outer control system is used for wind turbine pitch angle. PSCAD/EMTDC is us...
