The Aguas de Valencia Group manages the facilities in La Coma (Paterna) that provide water to the region. A pipe connects two reservoirs on different levels, so that the reservoir located at the upper level lets part of the water run into the lower reservoir. In the same facilities, there is a pumping system used to distribute water resources to different locations in the surrounding ...
It was a challenging installation as it was one of the first sites in Scotland to share a grid connection with a wind turbine. The project was delivered on time and on budget. ...
The project was delivered on time and on budget with both the funder and AG Barr happy with the delivery of the project and end result. The turbine installed was an EWT DW54-500 500kW turbine mounted on a 40m tower at the Cumbernauld bottling facility. ...
Offshore wind investments in Europe doubled in 2015 to €13.3 billion in a record year for financing and grid-connected installations. A total of 3,019 MW in new offshore wind capacity came online in European waters in 2015, more than double what was connected to the grid in 2014. ...
China, the country that is building more nuclear reactors than any other, continued to get more electricity from the wind than from nuclear power plants in 2014. This came despite below-average wind speeds for the year. The electricity generated by China’s wind farms in 2014—16 percent more than the year before—could power more than 110 million Chinese ...
A huge number of wind generators are going to be connected with the existing network in the near future. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse various models of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) for the purpose of studying the impacts upon grid. This paper presents comparative study on grid connected WECS having two different ...
Keeping in view of the environmental constraints, grid connected wind turbines are promising in increasing system reliability. This paper presents the impact of FACTS controllers on the long-term dynamic stability of power systems connected with wind farms based on doubly fed induction generator systems. ...
Connecting variable speed wind turbine connected to the grid requires a proper control of the inverter to improve the power quality for the system. The vector control of an inverter connected to the grid is presented. The proposed control technique implies a hysteresis current controller in the ...
This paper introduces a computer-based model and dynamic simulation of a combined electro-mechanical control technique for a stand-alone wind turbine generator system. The presented combined control technique consists of three closed loops for speed regulation, nacelle alignment and dynamic load voltage regulation. Speed regulation is achieved by adjusting the pitch angle of the ...
By the end of 1998, the global installed capacity of modern grid connected wind turbines was some 10,000 MW, and the growth rates of installations worldwide are 30%-40% annually. ...
