Complex power generation scheduling, correlated uncertainties, environmental issues and hybrid energy system modeling have become very important research topics due to rapid growth of large-scale distributed renewable energy system, deregulated electric power markets and responsive demand. The intermittent nature of the primal energy sources (i.e. wind, sun, water) increases uncertainty as well...

Wind turbines are known to produce shadow flicker by interruption of sunlight by the turbine blades. Known parameters of the seizure provoking effect of flicker, i.e., contrast, frequency, mark-space ratio, retinal area stimulated and percentage of visual cortex involved were applied to wind turbine features. The proportion of patients affected by viewing wind turbines expressed as distance in ...

In this Paper Analysis of Calculation Methods to calculate the losses and output power of wind turbine generator systems with using two types first one is Squirrel-Cage Induction Generator and the second is Doubly-fed Induction Generator. By using the existing methods in this paper, we can evaluate the generated output power, total system losses, total energy generated, efficiency and capacity ...

Wind turbine manufacturers publish and certify power curves for their turbines. These turbine power curves are used for planning purposes and estimating total wind power production. When a wind plant consisting of many turbines connects to the utility grid and starts operation, the focus shifts to the entire plant’s performance. An equivalent wind plant power-curve becomes highly desirable and ...

recently, transverse flux permanent magnet generators (tfpmgs) have been proposed as a possible generator in direct drive variable speed wind turbines due to their unique merits. generally, the quality of output power in these systems is lower than multi stage fixed speed systems, because of removing the gears, so it’s important to design these kinds of generators with low ripple and lowest har...

The application of conventional wind turbines on board a vessel creates a number of new challenges for turbine control systems. Thrust force is used in marine applications as an additional control variable for propulsion of the vessel. Variability of the wind speed and wind direction, together with the yaw rate and range constraints, impose strong requirements on the turbine control system. A n...

A method for generating electricity using high wind pressure generated by fast moving vehicles channelling the induced wind in the direction of the wind turbine; converting the energy of the wind into mechanical energy by using wind turbine; and converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy by using a generating device and can be used for applications.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of perception and annoyance due to wind turbine noise among people living near the turbines, and to study relations between noise and perception/annoyance, with focus on differences between living environments. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in seven areas in Sweden across dissimilar terrain and different degrees of urbanisation. A postal...

In the present research, the Wind Turbine placement problem for renewable energy utilization is solved using a viral systems optimization algorithm which finds the optimum configuration of wind turbines within a wind farm considering uniform wind-speed, and unidirectional wind. The problem is solved using a single type of turbine and constraining the available space to a flat scenario with a sq...

A new composite turbine control architecture that consists of feedforward and feedback parts based on the upwind speed measurements and wind speed measurements at the turbine site, respectively, is described. The algorithm starts with preprocessing of a low-rate sampled upwind speed via the spline interpolation method. A run-ahead model driven by the signals from a preprocessing block models th...
