Potential revenue from wind power generation is an important factor to be considered when planning a investment. In the future, that may become even more because it known tends push electricity wholesale prices lower. Consequently, possible if region has plenty of installed capacity, per generated unit lower there than could assumed by looking at mean price. this paper, we compare 17 different ...

Automotive manufacturing is energy-intensive. The consumed energy contributes to the generation of significant amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the automotive manufacturing industry. In this paper, a study is conducted on assessing the application potential of such clean energy power systems as solar PV, wind and fuel cells in reducing the GHG emissions of the global auto manufactur...

in recent years, wind energy has a remarkable growth in the world, but one of the important problems of power generated from wind is its uncertainty and corresponding power. for solving this problem, some approaches have been presented. recently, the artificial neural networks (ann) as a heuristic method has more applications for this propose. in this paper, short-term (1 hour) and mid-term (24...

as renewable energy increasingly penetrates into power grid systems, new challenges arise for system operators to keep the systems reliable under uncertain circumstances, while ensuring high utilization of renewable energy. this paper presents unit commitment (uc) which takes into account the volatility of wind power generation. the uc problem is solved with the forecasted intermittent wind pow...

Australia's wind resource is considered to be very good, and the utilization of this renewable energy resource is increasing rapidly: wind power installed capacity increased by 35% from 2006 to 2011 and is predicted to account for over 12% of Australia's electricity generation in 2030. Due to this growth in the utilization of the wind resource and the increasing importance of wind power in Aust...

Intermittent nature of wind power faced ISO and power producers with new challenges. Wind power uncertainty has increased the required reserve capacity and deployment reserve. Consequently, large-scale wind power generation increases ISO costs and consequently reserve prices. On the other hand, since wind power producers are price taker, large-scale wind power generation decreases residual dema...

Renewable wind generation presents many challenges for accurate and timely generation forecasts due to site topology, turbine layout and their potential wake effects and local network constraints, particularly for generators operating in fast changing, low or high wind resource conditions. Internationally, short term generation forecasting for wind power plants has become a critical issue for m...
