The rapid growth of renewable energy utilization and the immense potential for future use dictates a need to seriously consider the reliability of supply that can be obtained in addition to the associated cost benefits that can be achieved. Wind power is being adapted the world over as the most efficient power generation source that does not cause greenhouse emissions. With the raising concerns...

Economic electric energy generation using wind energy production has been rapidly growing for the last three decades. However, the integration of a large wind scheme can pose inherent voltage instability and power quality problems. The paper presents the impact of a Novel Dynamic FACTS Compensator Scheme DFCS developed by the Second Author on voltage level stabilization and power quality enhanc...

Since wind has an intrinsically complex and stochastic nature, accurate wind power forecasts are necessary for the safety and economics of wind energy utilization. In this paper, we investigate a combination of numeric and probabilistic models: one-day-ahead wind power forecasts were made with Gaussian Processes (GPs) applied to the outputs of a Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model. Firstly...

This paper proposes an approach for the hybrid solar photovoltaic and wind power system in Battery management for stand-alone applications with Artificial Intelligence. In general, Solar and wind energy are utilized as leading sources of energy and battery unit is considered as storage element to meet out the load demand. Loads are considered based on the priority. Ratings of hybrid energy syst...

Electricity generation in rural communities is an acute problem militating against socioeconomic well-being of the populace in these communities in developing countries, including Nigeria. In this paper, assessments of wind-energy potential in selected sites from three major geopolitical zones of Nigeria were investigated. For this, daily wind-speed data from Katsina in northern, Warri in south...

The solar and wind power generation is stochastic in nature. Consequently, it is difficult to obtain steady power output from these renewable sources. Storage element (mainly battery) used in typical solar/wind hybrid system has also its inherent shortcomings. However, power generation from renewable energy sources like solar and wind is having paramount significance in the context of impending...

The higher specific torque and power density of a transverse flux permanent magnet (TFPM) machine in comparison to a conventional machine makes it a promising direct-driven wind turbine generator. The new topology presented in this paper is believed to have a better utilization of the available in the nacelle space. This would favor a reduced inactive weight of the generator and thus remove one...

Wind energy in Germany has experienced high growth rates over the last few years. The set political target in the German federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg is to raise the share of wind energy in the overall electricity supply to 10% by 2020. To achieve this goal, detailed information on wind energy potential in Baden-Wuerttemberg is necessary. This study assesses the geographical wind energy ...

in recent years, wind energy has a remarkable growth in the world, but one of the important problems of power generated from wind is its uncertainty and corresponding power. for solving this problem, some approaches have been presented. recently, the artificial neural networks (ann) as a heuristic method has more applications for this propose. in this paper, short-term (1 hour) and mid-term (24...
