It’s important to realize, optimized dispatching of generating units would be useless without a method of control. Frequency regulation in interconnected network is one of the main challenges posed by wind turbine in modern power system. Obviously the method of load frequency control (LFC) plays a vital role in large interconnected power system. However the modern LFC should be able to handle c...

Although fossil fuel is the main energy supplier of the worldwide economy, due to its ad‐ verse effects on environment, the scientists look for alternative resources in power genera‐ tion. Electricity generation using renewable energy has been well recognized as environmentally friendly, socially beneficial, and economically competitive for many appli‐ cations. Wind turbines, photovoltaic syste...

Wind generation connection to power system affects steady state and transient stability. Furthermore, this effect increases with the increase of wind penetration in generation capacity. In this paper, optimal location of FACTS devices is carried out to solve the steady state problems of wind penetration using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Cases studied are carried out on modified IEEE39 bus system wi...

This study examines the emissions impacts of adding wind and energy storage to a market-based electric power system. Using Texas as a case study, we demonstrate that market power can greatly effect the emissions benefits of wind, due to most of the coal-fired generation being owned by the two dominant firms. Wind tends to have less emissions benefits when generators exercise market power, since...

The paper highlights the urgency of utilizing and promoting use of non conventional sources, particularly the wind and solar energy, so as to control the environmental pollution, such as ozone layer depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, global warming etc. As a case study, the various performance factors of a 10 kW hybrid (wind and solar) power plant, which is having 60:40 power gener...

The idea of a microgrid is created by utilizing more diverse ac or dc distributed generation (DG) sources along with an energy storage system (ESS) and loads. The most efficient and reliable selection of ac and dc microgrids is a hybrid ac/dc microgrid. The hybrid microgrid largely overcomes the shortcomings of standalone ac or dc microgrids. A bidirectional interlinking converter (BIC) is util...

Wind generation is hectic by nature, making wind power forecasting highly challenging, particularly for short time frames. Forecasting of wind power is becoming progressively more important to power system operators and electricity market.Wind power is variable and irregular over various timescales as it is weather dependent. Thus precise forecasting of wind power is acknowledged as a major con...

Driven by policy changes and technological advancement, wind power installations are booming as compared to any other types of power generation. However, the increased penetration of renewable generation in the power systems has resulted in high level of curtailment. Advanced energy storage technologies have been increasingly scrutinized as a feasible mitigation option in smart grids. This pape...

Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...
