due to increasing expansion of energy consumption and also the decrease and tendency towardsending fossil energy reserves, the current energy cycle needs to use alternative energy speciallywind energy, because it’s considerably cheaper than other recycling sources. the presentresearch investigates suitable possibility of exploiting wind energy to create wind power stationin soltanieh zone of za...

At present scenario, renewable energy sources are needed to meet the energy demand. They also mitigate environment pollution problems. The shortage of electrical energy demand can be meeting with renewable energy resources. A wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are primary energy sources. Grid connected renewable energy source like wind energy and solar energy are used to conne...

Improving performance of wind turbines through effective control strategies to reduce the power generation cost is highly desired by the wind industry. The majority of the literature on performance of wind turbines has focused on models derived from principles versed in physics. Physics-based models are usually complex and not accurate due to the fact that wind turbines involve mechanical, elec...

The wind turbine technology is now a developed technology. Modern wind technology incorporates each aspect of grid integration, stability and power quality issues in the arena of reliable power production to user end or utility. The paper provides cumulative modernization of wind turbine technology through literature survey of wind turbine configurations followed by discussion of different cont...

A permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) variable speed wind turbine connected to an electrolyzer and a battery model system is presented in this paper. Hydrogen gas could be produced from the model system, when a variable wind speed is applied to the PMSG driven variable wind turbine. The simulation results presented shows the nature of some of the variables of the PMSG wind driven turb...

Turbulent wake of wind turbine will reduce the power output of wind farm. The access to real turbulent wake of wind turbine blades with different spatial and temporal scales is provided by the pulsed Coherent Doppler Lidar (CDL) which operates by transmitting a laser beam and detecting the radiation backscattered by atmospheric aerosol particles. In this paper, the authors discuss the possibili...

The complex dynamics of operational wind turbine (WT) structures challenges the applicability of existing structural health monitoring (SHM) strategies for condition assessment. At the center of Europe's renewable energy strategic planning, WT systems call for implementation of strategies that may describe the WT behavior in its complete operational spectrum. The framework proposed in this pape...

Noise generated by wind turbines has been reported to affect sleep and quality of life (QOL), but the relationship is unclear. Our objective was to explore the association between wind turbine noise, sleep disturbance and quality of life, using data from published observational studies. We searched Medline, Embase, Global Health and Google Scholar databases. No language restrictions were impose...

Some large wind turbines use a low speed synchronous generator, directly-coupled to the turbine, and a fully rated converter to transform power from the turbine to mains electricity. This paper considers the condition monitoring and diagnosis of mechanical and electrical faults in such a variable speed machine. The application of wavelet transforms is investigated because of the disadvantages o...
