Wind power technology has been developing widely in recent years. Several research fields in power systems such as prediction of wind speed, wind generator system modeling, system stability and control of wind energy conversion system are emphasized further with the consideration of wind power. With increasing penetration level in power system, the issue concerning the influence of wind power o...

Wind Energy is one of the favorable renewable energy resources and the multilevel inverter has been proven to be one of the important enabling technologies in wind energy conversion system (WECS) utilization. Wind energy conversion system with utilization grid systems are getting more and more widespread with the increase in the energy demand and the concern for the environmental pollution arou...

-Electricity plays an important role in human civilization. Every aspect of human life and its well being depends on the energy conversion into electricity and utilize it for optimal performance in all kinds of industries. Wind energy is one such important energy being used in the world for producing electricity. However, wind speed is not predictable and thus the wind energy conversion is not ...

In this paper, an energy storage system with voltage equalization strategy for wind energy conversion is presented. The proposed energy storage system provides a voltage equalization strategy for series-connected lead-acid batteries to increase their total storage capacity and lifecycle. In order to draw the maximum power from the wind energy, a perturbation-and-observation method and digital s...
