This paper investigates the uses of battery energy storage system (BESS) in ac networks highly populated with wind power generation. The investigation includes power system load leveling, frequency stabilization, and provision of reactive power support to the wind farm network. The BESS is connected to the wind farm main hub via voltage source converter, while the wind farm is connected to ac n...

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 ...

Hybrid utilization of renewable energy is one of effective method which can solve the problem that unstable of renewable energy so as not to substitute traditional fossil energy. As the typical renewable energy, solar energy and wind energy are in the van of renewable energy utilization. With the large scale utilization of solar and wind energy in the world, constructing large scale solar power...

Being cleaner and climate friendly, wind energy has been increasingly utilized to meet the ever-growing global energy demands. In the State of Nebraska, USA, a wide gap exists between wind resource and actual energy production, and it is imperative to expand the wind energy development. Because of the formidable costs associated with wind energy development, the locations for new wind turbines ...

Growing concerns about the environmental impact of fossil fuel energy and improvements in both the cost and performance of wind turbine technologies has spurred a sharp expansion in wind energy generation. However, both the increasing size of wind farms and the increased contribution of wind energy to the overall electricity generation market has created new challenges. As wind farms grow in si...

This paper presents a coordinated control strategy for a hybrid wind farm with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)and direct-driven permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbines under symmetrical grid faults. The proposed low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) strategy is based on a novel current allocation principle and is implemented for individual DFIGor PMSG-based wind turbin...

The growth of wind energy is attributed to the development of turbine size and the increase in number of units in each wind farm. The current modern design of large wind turbines (WT) is directed towards producing efficient, sensitive and reliable units. To achieve this goal, modern turbines are equipped with several devices which are operated with highly advanced electronic circuits. Sensing i...

Planning of wind farms appears to be a complicated matter in Switzerland and all over Europe, causing growing government and business frustration. The implementation often fails on the local level when it comes to choosing a suitable location for a wind farm, although the public generally supports wind power (DEVINE-WRIGHT 2005, WOLSINK, 2005). Social acceptance is a key issue for successful wi...
