• ### Operating point of islanded microgrids consisting of conventional doubly fed induction generators and distributed supporting units

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):303 - 314

| | PDF (342 KB)

This study presents a comprehensive formulation to represent islanded microgrids, where the base power is obtained from wind energy (doubly fed induction generators), and the ancillary services and energy buffering are obtained from distributed resources, either distributed generation or energy storage. Furthermore, this study presents an approach to solve the operational constraints (pitch regula... View full abstract»

• ### Measuring the volatility of wholesale electricity prices caused by wind power uncertainty with a correlation model

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):315 - 323
Cited by:  Papers (7)
| | PDF (534 KB)

There is an increasing need to understand the impact of high-penetration wind power on various aspects of power system operation. This study presents a methodology to evaluate the impact of market price volatility on intermittent wind power. The proposed methodology first considers the uncertainty of wind power using a probabilistic distribution of wind speed in combination with the rated speed-MW... View full abstract»

• ### Feedback linearisation oriented approach to Q-V control of grid connected photovoltaic units

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):324 - 339
Cited by:  Papers (4)
| | PDF (1337 KB)

This study proposes a new control scheme to manage active and reactive power injections into the distribution grids provided by photovoltaic (PV) generating units. Such scheme is derived by resorting to the so-called feedback linearisation theory, which relies on the central concept to algebraically transform non-linear systems dynamics into fully or partly linear ones, so that linear control te...

• ### Fuzzy adaptive Kalman filter for wind power output smoothing with battery energy storage system

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):340 - 347
Cited by:  Papers (13)
| | PDF (595 KB)

The energy storage system (ESS) is the current, widely popular means of smoothing intermittent wind power (WP) generation to regulate output power uncertainty in a wind power generation system (WPGS). This study presents a novel Kalman filter (KF) application method for smoothing the power-output fluctuation of a WPGS based on a battery energy storage system (BESS). A fuzzy logic control method wa... View full abstract»

• ### Evaluation of the mainstream wind turbine concepts considering their reliabilities

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):348 - 357
Cited by:  Papers (2)
| | PDF (481 KB)

Wind turbine technologies have reached such a stage that the power rating of a single unit installed for grid connection has well exceeded MW level, and this trend is still developing. Some previous work has been carried out by researchers to compare different wind turbine concepts, but most of these comparisons assume ideal operating conditions. In this paper, an economic evaluation of the mainst... View full abstract»

• ### Eco-design optimisation of an autonomous hybrid wind-photovoltaic system with battery storage

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):358 - 371
Cited by:  Papers (11)
| | PDF (1046 KB)

In this study, a new approach to design an autonomous hybrid wind-photovoltaic (PV)-batteries system is presented in order to assist the designers to take into consideration both the economic and ecological aspects. Primary embodied energy (EE) has been introduced as a new criterion for hybrid systems, designing with the objective to minimise loss of power supply probability (LPSP). For a location...
