Because of their low impact on environment, PV/wind hybrid systems which use fuel cells (FCs) as the energy storage device are one of the most promising renewable energy sources. In such systems, optimum configuration (sizing) plays an important role for decreasing the system cost. In this paper, PV/wind/FC system is modeled and a hybrid metaheuristic technique based on chaotic search (CS), har...

_ Hydraulic wind power transfer systems deliver the captured energy by the blades to the generators differently and through an intermediate medium i.e. hydraulic fluid. This paper develops a control system for a nonlinear model of hydraulic wind power transfer systems. To maintain a fixed frequency electrical voltage by the system, the generator should remain at a constant rotational speed. The...

Low-level wind shear, especially a microburst, is very hazardous to aircraft departing or approaching an airport. The danger became especially clear in a series of fatal commercial airliner accidents in the 1970s and 1980s at U.S. airports. In response, the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) developed and deployed three ground-based lowaltitude wind-shear detection systems: the Low Altitude Wind She...

Wind power generation systems influence power quality in a specific way making important the need for detailed and accurate evaluation of disturbances caused by wind generators. Wind power system can cause suband interharmonic components to appear in the spectrum of voltages and currents. The paper shows different aspects of spectrum estimation in power systems, including the doubly fed inducti...
