High penetration of wind power in the electricity system provides many challenges to power system operators, mainly due to the unpredictability and variability of wind power generation. Although wind energy may not be dispatched, an accurate forecasting method of wind speed and power generation can help power system operators reduce the risk of an unreliable electricity supply. This paper propo...

This paper explores the viability of relying on wind power to replace upwards of 60% of electricity generation in Alberta that would be lost if coal-fired generation is phased out. Using hourly wind data from 17 locations across Alberta, we are able to simulate the potential wind power output available to the Alberta grid when modern, 3.5 MW-capacity wind turbines are spread across the province...

This paper proposes a new control strategy to consider the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind generation contribution in frequency control and regulation of multi-area interconnected power system when the wind power is the main generation of one area. Based on frequency requirements and system conditions, the proposed control approach determines whether to switch the wind generation int...

This paper surveys the impact of large scale wind power integration on the small signal stability performance of the power systems. For this purpose, different factors concerning wind power generation such as wind power integration levels and wind power plant location are considered in the small signal stability assessment of a weak power system via modal analysis. The changes in the modal char...

The phrase “Levitation” refers to a class of technologies that uses magnetic levitation force wind turbines with magnets, which otherwise propel axles and bearings. Maglev (derived from levitation) turbine for the generation electricity. present scenario indicates demand electricity is increasing day by meet it many research are going on. Electricity through renewable energy sources has gained ...

The power generated by a wind turbine largely depends on the wind speed. During time periods with identical hub-height wind speeds but different shapes to the wind profile, a turbine will produce different amounts of power. This variability may be induced by atmospheric stability, which affects profiles of mean wind speed, direction and turbulence across the rotor disk. Our letter examines turb...
