Transient Thunderstorm Downbursts and Their Effects on Wind Turbines

Transient Thunderstorm Downbursts and Their Effects on Wind Turbines

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 61400-1 for the design of wind turbines does not explicitly address site-specific conditions associated with anomalous atmospheric events or conditions. Examples of off-standard atmospheric conditions include thunderstorm downbursts, hurricanes, tornadoes, low-level jets, etc. The simulation of thunderstorm downbursts and associated l...

leadership styles of tefl instructors at gilan university and their effects on the students attitudes and motivation

the subjects of the study are only the tefl teachers and students at gilan university. to obtain the desired data, a questionnaire which was based on the theories and disecussions gathered, was used as the main data gathering instrument. to determine the degree of relationship between variables, covariance and pearson product moment correlation coefficient were the formulas applied. the data we...

Industrial wind turbines and adverse health effects.

INTRODUCTION Some people living in the environs of industrial wind turbines (IWTs) report experiencing adverse health and socioeconomic effects. This review considers the hypothesis that annoyance from audible IWTs is the cause of these adverse health effects. METHODS We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published since 2000 that included the terms "wind turbine health," "wind t...

Transient Analysis of Dfig Wind Turbines in Multi-machine Networks

The investigation and determination of the impact of DFIG wind farms and their controllers on power system transient performance require power system simulation and analysis tools that incorporate both an accurate dynamic model of a DFIG wind turbine and a realistic representation of a power network [1]. This paper investigates the dynamic performance of DFIG wind turbines in multiple machine s...
