14 15 Wind power integration has always been a key research area due to the green future power system target. However, the 16 intermittent nature of wind power may impose some technical and economic challenges to Independent System Operators 17 (ISOs) and increase the need for additional flexibility. Motivated by this need, this paper focuses on the potential of Demand 18 Response Programs (DRP...

Careful planning of the electrical power sector is of great importance since the decisions to be taken involves the commitment of large resources, with potentially serious economic risks for the electrical utility and the economy as a whole. There are different types of techniques available for analysis and prediction of randomly varying parameters. They are classified as statistical, intellige...

Recent research has pursued the development of a new generation of computer -based standard provisions for wind loading, using databases of aerodynamic time histories along with modern computer technologies to improve significantly the description of wind-induced design loads. A prototype computer application for the specification of wind loads on low -rise buildings has been created as part of...

This paper investigates the impacts of a wind farm connected at Harterbeespoort substation in South Africa on voltage stability of the power network. The site wind speed was determined and analyzed for viability. A comparison is made between the use of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators and Self-excited Induction Generators driven by the wind turbines. The resulting P-V and Q-V curves from load fl...

This paper presents a terminal voltage control of a wind turbine Self Excited Induction Generator (SEIG). The wind turbine induction generator system is proposed to supply an isolated static load under widely varying conditions. The terminal voltage had been regulated by adapting the value of the excitation capacitance from Static VAR Compensator (SVC) using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) cont...

This paper investigates the effects of two important factors, i.e., correlation of wind farms output with load and wind speed coincidence in determining the required static reserve in a high wind-penetrated power system. To this end, it suggests an analytical approach to involve the effects of these two factors in probabilistic analytical multi-state models of wind farms output generation. Base...

An isolated small wind turbine emulator based on a separately excited DC motor is developed to evaluate the performance of small wind turbine control strategies. The test rig consists of a 3HP separately excited DC motor coupled to a synchronous generator. A dump load is connected to the generator through a buck-boost converter controlled by a microcontroller. Wind turbine rotor and furling dyn...

The power generation with non-renewable energy sources has very harmful effects on the environment as well as these sources are depleting. On the other side the renewable energy sources are quite unpredictable source of power. The best trade-off is to use the combination of both kind of sources to make a hybrid system so that their individual power generation constraints can be overcome. The hy...

A bstract-Traditional scatterometer wind estimation inverts the model function relationship between the wind and backscatter a t each resolution element, yielding a set of ambiguities due to the many-to-one mapping of the model function. Field-wise wind estimation dramatically reduces the number of ambiguities by estimating the wind for many resolution elements, simultaneously, using a wind fie...
