The objective of this research work is to assess the wind characteristics and power potential Gharo site. parameters site have been used calculate density, annual energy yield, capacity factors at 10, 30, 50 m. frequency distribution including seasonal as well percentage has investigated determine accurately coefficient variation calculated three different heights. Also, economic assessment per...

This paper examines optimum selection of wind turbines between site and wind turbine generators. An analysis methodology is done at the planning and development stages of installation of wind power stations will enable the wind power developer or the power utilities to make a judicious and rapid choice of suitable wind energy conversion system from the available potential sites. The methodology...

wind regime data from the jask meteorological station from a 20-year statistical period (1985-2005) was analyzedusing the fryberger method to investigate sand drift potential (dp) in this area. the resultant drift potential anddirectional variability of wind were calculated and illustrated. average annual sand dp was estimated to be 460vector units (vu), and the sand flux is 51 m3/m.year. there...

this study based on investigation for integration wind power into conventional power system with its impact on fossil fuel generators and their generation management. wind power as environmental friendly energy source can reduce the operational cost of the system due to considering no cost for energizing the generator in comparing with fossil fuel generators. however due to unpredictable nature...

Due to the rapid economic development in China, the conflict between the increasing traditional energy consumption and the severe environmental threats is more and more serious. To ease the situation, greater use of wind energy in China could be the solution for energy conservation and sustainable environment in the long run. This paper describes the presentation of wind power in China, which c...

by John A. Cooney, Jr. In order to e↵ectively realize future goals for wind energy, the e ciency of wind turbines must increase beyond existing technology. One direct method for achieving increased e ciency is by improving the individual power generation characteristics of horizontal axis wind turbines. The potential for additional improvement by traditional approaches is diminishing rapidly ho...

The rapid depletion of conventional sources for power generation necessitates the need of renewable energy power plants. Renewable sources primarily wind and solar are available free of cost and counts for cleaner source of energy thereby reducing environmental concern. The potential of wind energy needs to be harnessed effectively for optimum power generation. Present research aims at comparis...

Nowadays, propagation of wind turbines make challenges to supply safe power to the grid. Because of wind speed changes, supervisors are concerned to wind turbines, be able to produce appropriate electric power during the wind speed changes. As a matter of fact, investors are mostly like to invest on offshore wind farms, because of their more stable and continuous wind speed rather than onshore ...

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...

Power Generation from Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydro is predominant now days and among the renewable energy sources, small hydro and wind energy have the ability to complement each other. For Power generation by small or micro hydro as well as wind systems, the use of squirrel-cage induction generators (SCIGs) is mostly adopted. As regards in recent ye...
