The continuous power supply for rural areas can be possible by using renewable hybrid power generation system and also reduction of the energy storage devices for the system. The impact of the shortage of power supply probability, surpluspower power generation, ratio of the energy supply to load demand, renewable fraction of different types of energy resources (solar and wind) and the combined ...

Integration of wind units into power system introduce various sources of technical and economical challenges to operation of power system due to its inherent uncertainty and variability. In operation of power system, stochastic wind generation can affect on the system security. In this paper, optimal security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) in presence of demand response program (DR) based o...

by John A. Cooney, Jr. In order to e↵ectively realize future goals for wind energy, the e ciency of wind turbines must increase beyond existing technology. One direct method for achieving increased e ciency is by improving the individual power generation characteristics of horizontal axis wind turbines. The potential for additional improvement by traditional approaches is diminishing rapidly ho...

The Chinese government has made an important effort to diversify the country’s energy mix and exploit different sources of renewable energy. Although China’s installed wind power capacity has undergone a dramatic expansion over the past six years, the electricity generated from wind power has not increased as expected. Meanwhile, operational risks, such as high generation cost, mismatch between...

Variability and uncertainty of wind power generation increase the cost of maintaining the short-term energy balance in power systems. As the share of wind power grows, this cost becomes increasingly important. This thesis examines different options to mitigate such cost increases. More detailed analysis is performed on three of these: flexibility of conventional power plants, smart charging of ...

This paper presents automatic reactive power control of the isolated wind-diesel hybrid power systems. The synchronous generator (SG) is used for power generation from diesel and the induction generator (IG) is used for electric power generation from wind turbine. To minimize the gap between reactive power generation and demand, the variable sources of reactive power is used such as static sync...

In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC)-based coordinated scheduling framework for variable wind generation and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is presented. On the basis of the short-term forecast of available wind generation and price information, a joint look-ahead optimization is performed by the wind farm and storage system to determine their net power injection to the elect...

In this paper, an overview of new and current developments in wind forecasting is given where the focus lies upon principles and practical implementations. High penetration of wind power in the electricity system provides many challenges to the power system operators, mainly due to the unpredictability and variability of wind power generation. Although wind energy may not be dispatched, an accu...

The sources such as wind power and solar power are expected to be promising energy sources when it is connected to the power grid. The wind generators have a significant impact on the power quality, voltage profile and the power flow for customers and electricity suppliers. The power exhausted from above energy sources varies due to environmental conditions. Due to the fluctuation in nature of ...

With the mass introduction of wind power in Northern China, wind power variability has appeared. In this article, both existing electric heat pumps (EHPs) and coal-fired combined heat and power (CHP) facilities, which are generally equipped with extraction-condensing steam turbines coupled with district heating for space heating purposes, are proposed to incorporate the variability of wind powe...
