This study examines the emissions impacts of adding wind and energy storage to a market-based electric power system. Using Texas as a case study, we demonstrate that market power can greatly effect the emissions benefits of wind, due to most of the coal-fired generation being owned by the two dominant firms. Wind tends to have less emissions benefits when generators exercise market power, since...

the technique used to control the airflow is based on the electro-hydrodynamic actuator which is also called plasma actuator. this actuator ensures the airflow control thanks to the electric wind created by the electrical corona discharge. this ionic wind is developed at the profile surface tangential to the initial free airflow so that it has a significant effect on the boundary layer flow. th...

This work analyses the configuration and operation principles of hybrid wind-hydro power plants with pumped storage integrated into autonomous electric grid systems, in order to support high wind energy penetration. The plant consists of wind generation units, combined with a pumped-hydro storage system. It operates on a daily basis, storing the surplus wind production by pumping water in an el...

Analysis of previously reported observations of the solar wind-barium interaction associated with the AMPTE artificial comet release of December 27, 1984, is presented. On the basis of these results we argue that the solar wind couples momentum (and energy) to the barium ions through both laminar and turbulent processes. The laminar forces acting on the particles are the laminar electric and ma...

The adoption of renewable energy based systems for electricity generation, leaving aside fossil based energy systems is of paramount importance to humanity. The purpose of this paper is the design of a small wind rotor that meets the electric power requirement of a small house in Guildford, UK. The conceptual design developed, comes from the evaluation of the existing science and technology in ...

The increment integration of renewable distributed energies means the desired operation of the electric power system will significantly depend on the performance of primary energy. In this order, an integrated approach for mutual interaction between the electricity and natural gas systems has been considered for the purpose of ensuring optimal energy exchanging between the electric power system...

. The main purpose of the standard IEC 61400-25 is the unification of communication systems in wind power plants, both for internal exchange of information and for remote control. Most of the current control and monitoring systems used in wind farms are vendor-specific and the protocols and data provided by these systems are therefore dependent on their manufacturer. This paper explains the mai...

Driven by policy changes and technological advancement, wind power installations are booming as compared to any other types of power generation. However, the increased penetration of renewable generation in the power systems has resulted in high level of curtailment. Advanced energy storage technologies have been increasingly scrutinized as a feasible mitigation option in smart grids. This pape...

Plug-in electric vehicles could offer flexibility for wind power and an attempt was made to quantify the effect with a power system model Wilmar. Wilmar simulates unit commitment and dispatch using mixed integer programming and includes wind power and load stochasticity as well as a module for plug-in electric vehicles. Forecast errors of wind power increase the need for balancing and ancillary...

This paper addresses design and development of an artificial neural network based system for prediction of wind energy produced by wind turbines. Now in the last decade, renewable energy emerged as an additional alternative source for electrical power generation. We need to assess wind power generation capacity by wind turbines because of its nonexhaustible nature. The power generation by elect...
