There’s been a lot of discussion around sustainable energy solutions over recent years. Governments and businesses are taking initiatives to undo the damage done from years of unabated use of fossil fuels. People are now desperate to adopt sustainable sources of energy. The governments and big businesses have jumped on board, too, as they realize that traditional energy sources aren’t ...

Adoption Hurdles and Challenges with Small Wind Turbines Wind energy is very promising. It can be harvested without any costs, and like solar panels, wind turbines are environmentally-friendly. ...
Wind power is one of the cleanest and safest methods of generating renewable energy. ...
The year 2008 is often referred to ardently as the golden year for wind energy. Turbine OEMs were signing framework agreements for many hundreds of turbines at a time. ...
This paper proposes a simple method of incorporating magnetic saturation in determining terminal characteristics of a type 1 wind generating system employing a squirrel–cage induction generator. ...
Wind energy is one of the developing resources of renewable energy. In order to increase the use of wind energy, development of wind turbine blade with higher power coefficient plays a vital role. ...
The efficiency of the wind power conversions systems can be greatly improved using an appropriate control algorithm. In this work, a robust control for variable speed wind power generation that incorporates a doubly feed induction generator is described. ...
The developed model of the microgrid consists of microturbine generation system, converter-based DG system with stiff DC source, synchronous-generator-based DG system and wind power system with induction generator. The Simulation model of the microgrid is developed in the Simpowersystems of the Matlab and systematic analysis has been carried out to ascertain its operation. This ...
In this study, energy and exergy analyses of wind power are used to estimate wind power potential in these areas. Exergy analysis of wind power is investigated according to air temperature and pressure at inlet and outlet of wind turbine; energy generated and heat loss from ...
A considerable fraction of the energy produced by wind turbines is exported to neighbouring countries and therefore is not used in Denmark. ...
This paper describes the analysis of near-surface wind speeds in Western Oklahoma. The goals of this research are to characterise the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) in the region, and to assess the impact wind variability, vertical shear and the LLJ on wind energy calculations. ...
Connecting variable speed wind turbine connected to the grid requires a proper control of the inverter to improve the power quality for the system. ...
Research to verify land ownership before wind energy companies sign long-term leases has brought increased work and revenues to the company. ...
The fixed-speed Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) option is considered in this study: simulations have been performed for various sizes of wind farm attached to the IEEE 30-bus systems using the DIgSILENT Power Factory simulation software and all simulations used the DIgSILENT package. The main conclusion is that a fixed-speed wind ...
These features are mostly based on the large flexibility of an electricity system with decentralised energy production and might help to master future challenges in power markets, e.g. the increasing degree of stochasticity in the power system through the introduction of wind power turbines on a large scale. This paper highlights the ...
The impact of renewable energy sources on today's energy supply substantiates the importance of hydrogen as an energy carrier. Hydrogen can be directly produced from solar energy and is considered a promising technology for temporary storage of electrical energy from wind ...
With the continuing expansion of electricity generation from fluctuating wind power the grid-compatible integration of renewable energy sources is becoming an increasingly important aspect. Adiabatic compressed air energy storage power plants have the potential to make a substantial contribution here. ...
They were applied to wind turbines and photovoltaic systems as well as to a natural gas fired gas and steam plant. ...
