There is a substantial increase in energy demand in Turkey because of its growth of industrial development. Turkey’s present energy resources are insufficient and the need for energy is growing rapidly. Turkey does not possess enough conventional fossil fuel reserves, but possesses rich renewable energy resources such as hydraulic, solar, geothermal and wind. Among all, wind energy seems to be ...

New additions of wind energy in the Nordic electricity market has been studied using the EMPS model. A scenario for year 2010 with CO2-tax and a total of 16 TWh of wind energy according to national targets have been included. The study focuses on the effect of changes in production scheduling imposed by new additions of wind energy under operation of a deregulated market. As a result, the impor...

The integration of renewable wind and pumped storage with thermal power generation allows for dispatch of wind energy by generation companies (GENCOs) interested in participation in energy and ancillary services markets. However, to realize the maximum economic profit, optimal coordination and accounting for reduction in cost for environmental emission is necessary. The goal of this study is to...

Introduction Due to the cleanness and low cost of wind energy, wind farms are designed to produce as much energy as possible. Wind depends on external atmospheric conditions. For energy control centers is difficult to schedule wind power energy due to its intermittency.

Hybrid power system can be used to reduce energy storage requirements. The influence of the Deficiency of Power Supply Probability (DPSP), Relative Excess Power Generated (REPG), Energy to Load Ratio (ELR), fraction of PV and wind energy, and coverage of PV and wind energy against the system size and performance were analyzed. The technical feasibility of PV-wind hybrid system in given range of...

In this paper, a novel method is proposed and applied to quickly calculate the capacity of energy storage for stand-alone and grid-connected wind energy systems, according to the discrete Fourier transform theory. Based on practical wind resource data and power data, which are derived from the American Wind Energy Technology Center and HOMER software separately, the energy storage capacity of a...

This paper describes the feasibility analysis of an innovative, extensible blade technology. The blade aims to significantly improve the energy production of a wind turbine, particularly at locations with unfavorable wind conditions. The innovative ‘smart’ blade will be extended at low wind speed to harvest more wind energy; on the other hand, it will be retracted to its original shape when the...

in this paper, the 10-minutes period measured wind speed data at different heights (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m) are presented for khvaf, which is one of the major counties with high wind potential in khorasan provinces in iran. to the author’s knowledge, there hasn’t been any assessment works in the mentioned site. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull fu...

nature has always proven that it is able to overcome its problems. however, humanmanipulation has led to environmental degradations. the dryness of a thousand-year urmia lake(a brine water lake in iran) is an example of environmental degradation that happened due tosuccessive droughts and construction of dams on the basin of this lake. this study examinesmethods for the revival of urmia lake by...
