Wind energy harvesting for electricity generation has a significant role in overcoming the challenges involved with climate change and resource implications population growth political unrest. Indeed, there been wind capacity worldwide turbine growing significantly over last two decades. This confidence is echoed power market global statistics. However, capture utilisation always challenging. A...

More than one hundred countries are using wind energy due to their easy implementation, cheap energy, and high energy efficiency. Implementation of FACTS devices in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) has been dramatically improved due to cooperative and accurate performance of FACTS devices. However, dealing with wind turbine faults promptly is crucial. Short-term and long-term faults may ha...

Environmental concerns and depletion of nonrenewable resources has made great interest towards renewable energy resources. Cleanness and high potential are factors that caused fast growth of wind energy. However, the stochastic nature of wind energy makes the presence of energy storage systems (ESS) in wind integrated power systems, inevitable. Due to capability of being used in large-scale sys...

Energy storage devices and solutions are required for power quality and balance within wind systems. In the context of rapidly expanding of distributed energy sources, the wind energy converters are in the center of interest. In this case, the direct dependence of the power generation capability for a given wind speed represents a major problem of wind energy conversion with regard to large-sca...

Wind energy conversion systems have been attracting wide attention as a renewable energy source due to depleting fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns as a direct consequence of using fossil fuel and nuclear energy sources. Wind energy, even though abundant, varies continually as wind speed changes throughout the day. The amount of power output from a wind energy conversion system (WE...

This paper describes the modeling and simulation of a wind energy conversion system in Matlab/Simulink environment. The wind energy conversion system consists of a wind turbine, gear box, and induction generator. The dynamic model of a 30 kW induction generator is used for performance testing of the proposed system. Simulink models of the individual components of wind energy conversion are form...

The wind energy is free, inexhaustible and it produces no waste or greenhouse gases. Furthermore, it is a good method of supplying energy to remote areas. With growing application of wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), various technologies are developed for them. Squirrel cage induction motors are the most commonly used electrical machine in AC drives. In this paper, a new wind energy conve...
