Abstract Wind energy is an effective and promising renewable source to produce electrical energy. conversion systems (WECS) have been developing on a wide scale worldwide. The expansion of wind demand tends high-quality output power in terms grid integration. Due the intermittent nature energy, great challenges are found regarding WECS modeling, control, This paper introduces comprehensive revi...

The global electrical energy consumption is steadily rising and consequently there is a demand to increase the power generation capacity. A significant percentage of the required capacity increase can be based on renewable energy sources.The integration of Distributed Generations into grid has a great importance in improving system reliability. The power generation with renewable energy sources...

Integration of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) with floating breakwater system provides a multi-function solution to wave energy extraction and offshore infrastructural protection. The contribution this work is guide the optimal size configuration multi-purpose platform including moonpool-type an array heaving oscillating-buoy (OB) WECs. investigation performed using developed time-domain numeric...

Abstract The access to the offshore wind resource in deep sea requires development of innovative solutions which reduce cost energy. Novel technologies propose hybrid combination and wave energy improve synergy between these sharing costs, such as mooring electrical connexion. This work proposes a novel system integrating floating turbine with three-point absorbers converters (WECs). WECs are a...

<p>When wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are integrated with the Grid system then there power quality issues arises. The fluctuation in delivery to grid demands robust control for a better quality. Therefore, voltage and frequency stability due integration of is primary concern improve overall capability WECS. This paper reviews introduction WECS introduces dynamic that include sub-s...

Debnath, Suman Ph.D., Purdue University, May 2015. Control of Modular Multilevel Converters for Grid Integration of Full-scale Wind Energy Conversion Systems. Major Professors: Maryam Saeedifard and Steve D. Pekarek. The growing demand for wind power generation has pushed the capacity of wind turbines towards MW power levels. Higher capacity of the wind turbines necessitates operation of the ge...

The power take-off (PTO) stability is one of the most important concerns for wave energy converters (WECs). PTO unit converts mechanical produced by absorber (WA) into useful electrical energy. Due to drastic input variation real motions, generated from significantly fluctuates and potentially harmful electronic appliances. This paper proposes an improved hydraulic (HPTO) WECs. An HPTO comprise...
