Sustainable Wind Power Plant Modernization

Sustainable Modernization of the Russian Power Utilities Industry

Our paper analyzes the issue of managing structural and technological modernization of the Russian power utilities industry based on the basic criteria of sustainable development. We have chosen coal-fired generation and its defining technologies as the main subject for our analysis. Key points of the Russian power utilities development strategy that has been drawn up to 2030 are compared again...

Human centered design for nuclear power plant control room modernization

The use of nuclear power plants to produce electric energy is a safety-critical process where ultimate operational decisions still relies with the control room operators. Thus it is important to provide the best possible decision support through effective supervisory control interfaces. A human centered design approach, based on cognitive task analysis methods, was used to observe the operators...

Harmonic Resonance Study for Wind Power Plant

Harmonic resonance is one of an important aspect being considered in a large network such as a wind power plant (WPP). This paper analyses several factors that affect resonance characteristic in a WPP and possible mitigation measures. The first part of the paper provides an analysis of resonances in WPP. Two methods of identifying resonances are performed which are a common impedance scan metho...
