Abstract Investments in renewable energy have been identified as one mechanism...

Variable speed hydropower (VSHP) is well suited for virtual inertia(VI) control as it can utilize the kinetic energy of turbineand generator to provide a fast power response frequencydeviation.

Traditional optimal operation of hydropower station usually has two problems. One is that the optimal algorithm hasn’t high efficiency, and the other is that the optimal operation model pays little attention to ecology. And with the development of electric power market, the generated benefit is concerned instead of generated energy. Based on the analysis of time-varying electricity price policy...

Jordan‟s energy balance is largely dominated by combustible fuels. However, the country is well endowed with solar, wind and oil shale resources, in addition to large and small-scale hydropower projects. Based on available data and the current analysis, it is believed that there are at least 6-10 candidate sites in the western part of Jordan and 2-3 locations in the eastern plateau, which could...

Transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources is inevitable. In this direction, variation and intermittency of renewables can be integrated into the grid by means of hybrid systems which operate as a combination of alternative resources, energy storage and long distance transmission lines. In this study, we propose a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming model for sizing an integra...

This paper deals with the control of an autonomous cascaded doubly-fed induction generator operating in a variable speed constant frequency mode. The proposed structure is a full stand-alone generating system dedicated to isolated grids in embedded systems or in small scale renewable energy systems such as windmill and hydropower generators. The study is focused on the CDFIG. Its behaviour agai...

Some engineering optimization problems, such as multi-objective daily generation scheduling for the hydropower stations, the objective functions has obvious hierarchy and priority, simultaneously, the constraints is very complex. It is difficult to solve the operation problems by adopting traditional optimal technique. In this paper, a new particle swarm optimization algorithm solving hierarchy...

Here we translate the impacts of climate change on hydropower generation, and discuss implications on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and operation in California. We integrate a model of major surfacewater reservoirs with an electric grid dispatch model, and perturb it by projected runoff based on representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Results show that climate change and var...
