The increasing wind power penetration in power systems represents a techno-economic challenge for power producers and system operators. Due to the variability and uncertainty of wind power, system operators require new solutions in order to increase the controllability of wind farm output. On the other hand, producers that include wind farms in their portfolio need to find new ways to boost the...

A dynamic (multi-stage) stochastic programming model for the weekly cost-optimal generation of electric power in a hydro-thermal generation system under uncertain demand (or load) is developed. The model involves a large number of mixed-integer (stochastic) decision variables and constraints linking time periods and operating power units. A stochastic Lagrangian relaxation scheme is designed by...

The deregulation of power system has created an environment of competitiveness among different market players and the transmission lines are forced to operate near to their thermal or stability limits. It is a challenge with System Operators (SO) to ensure a secure and reliable transmission of power under these conditions. This paper proposes a rescheduling based congestion management strategy ...

Renewable energy provides 20% of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It provides almost onefifth of the electricity in world. Hydropower is produced in more than 150 countries. The main objective of this paper is modelling and analysis of the effects of the power system stabilizer (PSS) for load frequency control (LFC) system ...

Renewable energy sources i.e., energy generated from solar, wind, biomass, hydro power, geothermal and ocean resources are considered as a technological option for generating clean energy. This paper presents the Solar-Wind hybrid Power system that harnesses the renewable energies in Sun and Wind to generate electricity. System control relies mainly on micro controller. It ensures the optimum u...

This paper reports on a hydro backed-up (HPBU) hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) for rural off-grid community in Kwara State Nigeria with an average demand load of 550.9 kWh (90.7 kW peak) per day. By using HOMER Pro software, the formulation and identification best reliable architecture attaining technical economic viability while nearby existing RE sources such as hydro, wind solar are ap...
