Short-term wind speed forecasting is useful for power system to regulate power dispatching plan, decrease reserve power needed and increase the reliability of system. The method of the short-term wind speed prediction is proposed in this paper. The data of wind speed in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province of China is predicted by the model combined with the grey system theory (GST). A grey system model co...

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...

To help define the habitat of modern marine stromatolites, wave-dominated flow and sediment transport were studied in the shallow subtidal region (1-2 m depth) along the slightly concave, windward face of Highborne Cay, Exuma, Bahamas - the only face of the cay that includes a population of stromatolites concentrated near the region of highest curvature of the beach. Wave energy impacting this ...

Wind Energy is a useful resource for Renewable energy purpose. Wind speed plays a vital role for wind energy calculation of certain location. So, it is very much necessary to know the wind speed data characteristics. In this paper fourier and wavelet transform are applied to study the wind speed data. We have compared wind speed of winter with summer by taking their speed into account using var...

The energy budgets of small endotherms are profoundly affected by characteristics of the physical environment such as wind speed, air temperature and solar radiation. Among these, solar radiation represents a potentially very large heat load to small animals and may have an important influence on their thermoregulatory metabolism and heat balance. In this investigation, we examined the interact...

Due to notable depletion of fuel, non-conventional energy aids the present grid for Power management across the country. Wind energy indeed has major contribution next to solar. Prediction of wind power is essential to integrate wind farms into the grid. Due to intermittency and variability of wind power, forecasting of wind behavior becomes intricate. Wind speed forecasting tools can resolve t...

air pollution is a problem in kathmandu, nepal. particulate matter concentrations often exceed threshold values at which human health is severely affected. the problem is serious since it is in the valley topography wherein the meteorological parameters role is significant. this study addresses the linkages between meteorological processes and air pollution in the lower atmosphere of the kathma...

This paper presents Maximum Power Point Control for variable speed wind turbine driven permanentmagnet generator. The wind turbine generator is operated such that the rotor speed varies according to wind speed to adjust the duty cycle of power converter and maximizes Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) efficiency. The maximum power point for each speed value is traced using Maximum Power Point...

The hydrodynamic and constituent transport model UnTRIM was used to simulate hydrodynamics in Upper Klamath Lake, a shallow, hypereutrophic lake in which currents are responsive primarily to wind forcing. A simplified version of a dissolved oxygen model was used to simulate the transport of oxygen-depleted water from a deep trench on the western shoreline into important fish habitat in the nort...

Predicting short term wind speed is essential in order to prevent systems in-action from the effects of strong winds. It also helps in using wind energy as an alternative source of energy, mainly for Electrical power generation. Wind speed prediction has applications in Military and civilian fields for air traffic control, rocket launch, ship navigation etc. The wind speed in near future depend...
