Commercialization of wave energy will lead to the necessary deployment of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) in arrays, or wave farms. In order for projects in the United States to be approved, regulatory agencies must perform an Environmental Assessment proving little to no environmental impact. However, little is known about the environmental impacts of such wave farms. As a result, the environmen...

A self tuning PID control strategy using reinforcement learning is proposed in this paper to deal with the control of wind energy conversion systems (WECS). Actor-Critic learning is used to tune PID parameters in an adaptive way by taking advantage of the model-free and on-line learning properties of reinforcement learning effectively. In order to reduce the demand of storage space and to impro...

The Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) has been widely studied for Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). However, a major drawback of the SRG system adopting conventional control is slow response DC link voltage controller. In this paper, Proportional Resonant (PR) strategy proposed to output improve fast response. model high non-linearity, which makes design controllers difficult task. For r...

Recently, controlling a wind energy conversion system (WECS) under fluctuating speed and enhancing the quality of power delivered to grid has been demanding challenge for many researchers. This paper provides comprehensive review synchronous generator-based WECSs. will investigate growth in Egypt throughout world, as well technological financial significance energy. The block diagram typical gr...

This paper proposes a new technique of using Axial Flux Induction Machines (AFIMs) for wind energy conversion systems. The Power Generation by wind is found to be enhanced by using a Twin Rotor Axial Flux Induction Machine (TRAFIM). By using Axial Flux Induction Machines, the gear box ratio can be reduced. The Single air gap and TRAFIM have been mathematically modeled in the environment of MATL...

The technological development of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is emphasized on the injection power into utility grid more smoothly and robustly. Sliding mode control (SMC) has proven to be a popular solution for grid-connected WECS due its robust nature. super twisting sliding (STSMC), variant SMC, an effective approach suppress inherent chattering in SMC provide error-free control. an...

Wind is one of the most abundant renewable sources of energy in nature. Wind energy can be harnessed by a wind energy conversion system (WECS) composed of a wind turbine, an electric generator, a power electronic converter and the corresponding control system. The most advanced generator type is perhaps the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). As far as microgrid is concerned the load...
