-Wind energy has been used for navigation and agriculture. Recently, wind energy is given a lot of attention because of the focus on renewable energy. Wind energy growth in Asia is currently on the rise. Both India and China are leading with more installed capacity and manufacturing facilities. In Malaysia, wind energy conversion is also given a serious consideration. The potential for wind ene...

What: Atmospheric scientists and wind industry participants defined priorities for research in wind resource characterization to enable the expansion of wind power. When: 14–16 January 2008 Where: Broomfield, Colorado s energy demand increases, the need to reach beyond traditional hydrocarbon-based sources of power is becoming ever clearer and is in tandem with a compelling need to reduce emiss...

To improve the controllability of the electric power output and the economic performance of a large-scale wind farm, an auxiliary energy storage system is required. This paper deals with the rule of planning reasonable energy storage power and capacity based on the historical annual mean wind speed data, the probability density of the pulsating wind power output, and the warranted firm power pr...

Wind energy off-shore is gaining much interest due to the high wind power potentials. The need is to map wind climatology and regional wind patterns in coastal regions. In the WEMSAR (Wind Energy Mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar) project three European sites will be covered near Norway, Denmark and Italy. Data to be used are from the ERS-2 C-band scatterometer with a 50 km resolution, fro...

In this paper, the 10-minutes period measured wind speed data at different heights (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m) are presented for Khvaf, which is one of the major counties with high wind potential in Khorasan provinces in Iran. To the author’s knowledge, there hasn’t been any assessment works in the mentioned site. From the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the Weibull fu...

Wind energy is the world’s fastest growing energy source. The amount of power generated by wind energy depends on the speed of the wind. Because of the intermittent and fluctuating wind speed they are not suitable to micro grid applications unless proper power and energy management strategies are available. Hence a Suitable method of giving stable active, reactive power is required. Hybrid powe...

The deployment of wind energy is constrained by wind uncontrollability, which poses operational problems on the electricity supply system at high penetration levels, lessening the value of wind-generated electricity to a significant extent. This paper studies the viability of hydrogen production via electrolysis using wind power that cannot be easily accommodated on the system. The potential be...

Untapped pine needles with high potential for energy generation in the hilly area are not only a waste of resource but also increase the chance of environmental hazards as forest fires and GHG emission. This study is conducted to propose a new hybrid system (PV/Wind/Biomass) using abundant pine needle resource as a replacement of existing roof-mounted PV/wind hybrid system and analyse the feasi...

The European program HORIZON2020 aims to have 20% of electricity produced by renewable sources. The building sector represents 40% of the European Union energy consumption. Reducing energy consumption in buildings is therefore a priority for energy efficiency. The present investigation explores the most adequate roof shapes compatible with the placement of different types of small wind energy g...
