This article presents a wind plant control strategy that optimizes the yaw settings of wind turbines for improved energy production of the whole wind plant by taking into account wake effects. The optimization controller is based on a novel internal parametric model for wake effects called the FLOw Redirection and Induction in Steady-state (FLORIS) model. The FLORIS model predicts the steady-st...

The increase of renewable sources in the power sector is an important step towards more sustainable electricity production. However, introducing high shares of variable renewables, such as wind and solar, cause dispatchable power plants to vary their output to fulfill the remaining electrical demand. The environmental impacts related to potential future energy systems in Ireland for 2025 with h...

As renewable energy increasingly penetrates into power grid systems, new challenges arise for system operators to keep the systems reliable under uncertain circumstances, while ensuring high utilization of renewable energy. This paper presents unit commitment (UC) which takes into account the volatility of wind power generation. The UC problem is solved with the forecasted intermittent wind pow...

One of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (WECS) is how to achieve maxim­u­m output power in different wind speeds. Maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst­e­ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. So, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. In this pape...

nowadays the position of the renewable energy is so important because of the environment pollution and the limitation of fossil fuels in the world. energy can be generated more and more by the renewable sources, but the fossil fuels are non-renewable. one of the most important renewable sources is the wind energy. the wind energy is an appropriate alternative source of fossil fuel. the replacem...

Abstract This work describes the results from wind tunnel experiments performed to maximize plant total power output using wake steering via closed loop yaw angle control. The experimental consists of nine turbines arranged in two different layouts; both are dimensional arrays and differ positioning individual turbines. Two algorithms implemented power: Log‐of‐Power Extremum Seeking Control (LP...

To estimate the consequences of radionuclide spread during nuclear power plant accidents, atmospheric dispersion simulation models such as Gaussian Plume Model, Lagrangian Trajectory Model are widely used. However, they require a complex set of meteorological data. Yet, the historical data is not consistently available because of the lack of observed meteorological indicators in some situations...
