Machine learning algorithms are applied (i) 20 to better understand the changes of w...

Variable-speed, fixed-pitch wind turbines are required to optimize power output performance without the aerodynamic controls. A wind turbine generator system is operated such that the optimum points of wind rotor curve and electrical generator curve coincide. In order to obtain maximum power output of a wind turbine generator system, it is necessary to drive the wind turbine at an optimal rotor...

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...

The objective of this research is (1) to design and construct the wind turbine simulator based on the adjustable actual wind speed. (2) To investigate the wind distribution, and (3) tobe applied for testing the power output of the micro-wind turbine in the laboratory. Design and CAD drawing was applied to construct the wind turbine simulator prototype.The 3 phase induction motor with axial fan ...

Intermittent nature of wind power faced ISO and power producers with new challenges. Wind power uncertainty has increased the required reserve capacity and deployment reserve. Consequently, large-scale wind power generation increases ISO costs and consequently reserve prices. On the other hand, since wind power producers are price taker, large-scale wind power generation decreases residual dema...

the influence of wind erosion on soil productivity was studied applying fan-forced wind in a wind tunnel located in the campo de nijar area in se spain where the main crops are cereals. wind erosion is highly variable depending on the type of soil (aric-haplic calcisols, aric-calcaric cambisols or aric-calcic luvisols, according to iuss working group wrb, 2014) and the time elapsed since the la...

Wind power generation is variable and uncertain. In the power systems with high penetration of wind power, determination of equivalent operating reserve is the main concern of systems operator. In this paper, a model is proposed to determine operating reserves in simultaneous market clearing of energy and reserve by stochastic programming based on scenarios generated via Monte Carlo simulation ...

In the present research a new viral systems optimization algorithm is developed to find the optimal number and position of wind turbines in large wind farms with the main objective of minimizing the cost per unit power produced from the wind park. The developed algorithm is applied to three well known problems in literature which are: 1) constant wind speed and unidirectional uniform wind, 2) c...

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the performance of wind turbines sited over hilly terrains in order to elucidate the underlying physics to explore/optimize design of wind turbines sitting over complex terrains for higher power yield and better durability. The experiments were conducted in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel with wind turbines sited over a two-dimensiona...

This paper discusses a data-driven, cooperative control strategy to maximize wind farm power production. Conventionally, every wind turbine in a wind farm is operated to maximize its own power production without taking into account the interactions between the wind turbines in a wind farm. Because of wake interference, such greedy control strategy can significantly lower the power production of...
