The first step in the design of hybrid power generation system (HPGS) is the feasibility study. This paper discusses the feasibility analysis of a hybrid power generation system at Kallar Kahar Pakistan. The feasibility study mainly focuses on the technical and economic analysis of the components of hybrid power generation system for the selected site. The hybrid power generation system is base...

Miller and Kleidon (1) study future global deployment of wind turbines. They use a general circulation model (GCM) with 2.8° resolution to simulate the electricity generation for different wind-power deployments using global constant installed capacity densities. Results from the simulations with the maximum electricity generation over land and over water form the foundation for their study: a ...

Generation scheduling is an important concern of the current power system which is suffering from many obstacles of limited generation resources, grown energy demand and fuel price, inconsistent load demand and fluctuations of available wind power in case of the thermal–wind system. Smart grid system has a great potential of tumbling existing power system difficulties with intelligent infrastru...

One of the major difficulties introduced with wind power penetration is the inherent uncertainty in production originating from uncertain wind conditions. This uncertainty impacts many different aspects of power system operation, especially the balancing power requirements. For this reason, in power system development planing, it is necessary to evaluate the potential uncertainty in future wind...

Wind turbine power curves are calibrated by turbine manufacturers under requirements stipulated by the International Electrotechnical Commission to provide a functional mapping between the mean wind speed v and the mean turbine power output P. Wind plant operators employ these power curves to estimate or forecast wind power generation under given wind conditions. However, it is general knowledg...

The non-dispatchable nature of wind generation implies that system operation depends on wind power prediction programs that forecast wind farms production with high levels of uncertainty. This means that probabilistic power analysis tools become more and more necessary in systems with high wind penetration. Probabilistic load flow becomes especially difficult when wind generation is considered....

With continuous rise of oil price, how to develop alternative energy source has become a hot topic around the world. This study discussed the dynamic characteristics of an island power system operating under random wind speed lower than nominal wind speeds of wind turbines. The system primarily consists of three diesel engine power generation systems, three constant-speed variable-pitch wind tu...

Global warming is one of the most serious enviromental problems facing the world community today. It is typified by increasing the average temperature of Earth's surface and extremes of weather both hot and cold. Therefore, implementing a smart and renewable energies such as wind power, photo voltaic etc are expected to deeply reduce heat-trapping emissions. Moreover, wind power is expected to ...

Modern day power systems are divided into various areas. The transmission lines that connect an area to its neighboring area are called tie-lines sharing power between two areas. Automatic Generation Control (AGC) as the name signifies it regulates the power flow between different areas while holding the frequency constant. Frequency control as a major function of automatic generation control i...
