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. ...
Our tool enables stakeholders to bring all these criteria into their decision-making and helps them prioritize areas for development and preplanning of transmission.” Siting and grid interconnections are key Not only did the researchers find plentiful wind and solar resources in Africa, another key finding was that system costs and impacts could be lower ...
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. ...
Wind’s contribution to the grid is also growing in Texas, the U.S. wind capacity leader with 12,400 megawatts. ...
Wind data collected from three synoptic stations for the period of July 2006 to June 2011 at the height of 40 m has been used to study the monthly and annual wind energy potential. Two statistical methods (Meteorological and Weibull) have been applied to determine the monthly wind energy and density. Wind speed directions and the ...
It is well known that wind power has obvious energy saving efficiency. But for long-term consideration, wind power generation still has certain impacts on human life. Therefore, standing in the point of the negative effects of wind energy, this paper makes a further research on environmental issues of wind energy development and ...
The impact of the wind generation on the power systems is no longer negligible if high penetration levels are going to be achieved. It is very important to boost the transfer capability of the transmission system while improving the utilisation of transmission assets to accommodate high penetration of wind power on the network. Hence, more sophisticated control schemes using advanced power ...
China's inexperience with Generation-III reactors also casts doubt on its prospects for achieving what the government now sees as a more reasonable 2020 goal, some 70,000 megawatts. The outlook for wind in China is much more promising. Wind developers connected 19,000 megawatts of wind power capacity to the grid ...
Seven new reactors, three of them in China, were connected to the grid. The net result was a two percent reduction in world nuclear capacity to 369,000 megawatts by the end of 2011. ...
Working to decarbonise China's energy future Located in Taonan, Jilin Province, north east China, this 49.3 MW grid connected wind farm demonstrates the economic viability of wind power technology in a region where, until now, it has been seen as marginal. The project generates over 100,000 MWh of electricity per annum, and ...
A huge number of wind generators are going to be connected with the existing network in the near future. ...
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. ...
Integration of large Amounts of Renewable Electricity in the Egyptian Energy Grid - Capacity Building for Management and Engineer-Technical Level (Egypt-RE-Grid). ...
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 investigates the potentiality of Wind Electric Conversion Systems (WECS) integrated into the islander electrical grid of Corsica. ...
This examines the interaction between technical challenges and policy choices that are made regarding wind power, and uses the grid connection moratorium in Ireland as a case study. ...
The operation of wind turbines has an impact on the power quality at the connected electric network. The integration of wind electric generators with the power grid becomes a headache for power engineers in several aspects. ...
This pitch angle control has been widely investigated for wind turbines equipped with synchronous generators and grid-connected wind turbines equipped with induction generators, but not for stand-alone turbines equipped with induction generators as presented in this paper. A new dynamic model for the wind turbine ...
In this paper, modelling and simulation of a grid connected variable speed wind energy conversion system (VSWECS) with reduced switch count power converter is presented. ...
This paper aims at quantifying the impact of government policy and clean development mechanism (CDM) on wind power development in China. Firstly we review the background of Chinese wind power development and policy, as well as literature of climate change and CDM. We then present methodology, scenarios and data of a case study for the development of a large-scale ...
