The integration of wind farms in power networks has become an important problem. As electricity cannot be preserved because of the highest cost of storage, electricity production must following market demand, necessarily. Short-long term wind forecasting over different time steps is becoming an important process for the management of wind farms. Time series modelling of wind speeds is based on ...

This paper introduces a methodology for investigating the behaviour of a distribution network incorporating both load variations and variable micro-wind generation output. The probabilistic methodology is applied to a representative model of the Irish Distribution Network. Application of a selection of commercially available micro-wind turbines to the model is investigated for a range of load a...

One variety of wheat in the breeding process was chosen to determine the wheat morphological traits and biomechanical properties. ANSYS was used to build the mechanical model of wheat to wind load and the dynamic response of wheat to wind load was simulated. The maximum Von Mises stress is obtained by the powerful calculation function of ANSYS. And the changing stress and displacement of each n...

For economic benefit of wind power generation, the equivalent conversion relationships and models between the different “quality” energy are studied deeply in the conversion processes of wind energy. Considering the effect of load demand characteristics and energy supply price on the wind energy utilization mode comprehensively, the multi-objective trans-utilization optimization model of wind e...

Electrical power production is the main target required from wind turbines. This paper describes an approach for wind turbine controller as a vital part of the turbine, where this controller is based on Artificial Neural Network technique and a control scheme has been applied and validated by detailed simulation in MATLAB 6.5/Simulink. The proposed controller enhances the reactive power affecte...

Wind loads on buildings can be quantified through synchronous measurements of pressure over building model surfaces or by high frequency force balance (HFFB) measurements. Although this loading information can be directly utilized for building design applications, current design practice often requires the transformation of dynamic wind loading to the equivalent static wind loads (ESWLs). This ...

The small wind turbines for residential uses are multivariable processes that work under turbulent wind conditions and abrupt electrical load changes. In these processes, it is necessary to apply a complex control system that allows a good performance on the power production. For this aim, in this paper, a multivariable centralized control by decoupling is presented to control the wind turbine,...

This paper presents a simple control strategy for the operation of a variable speed stand-alone wind turbine with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The PMSG is connected to a three phase resistive load through a switch mode rectifier and a voltage source inverter. Control of the generator side converter is used to achieve maximum power extraction from the available wind power. Co...

Introduction Designing a structure like a portal frame of an industrial low-rise building is an iterative optimisation process. In today's design practice, the designing engineer takes from codes or standards the design values for the external loads, for instance the wind load distribution and the appropriate value of the wind velocity pressure. Depending on the climate at the building site, a ...
