Wind Power Forecasting with EA-PSM SAS

Free electricity trade market requires wind power producers to forecast day-ahead power generation. Mismatch between forecasted and real generation becomes direct losses for the wind power plant owner. However, due to intermittent nature of the wind, simple forecasting models usually are not good enough to reach satisfactory results. Automatic and self-learning algorithms are needed to ensure ...

Torque Wind Turbine Video Online - How does it work?

Torque Wind Turbine presents a video where viewers can see the turbine rotating. It is a wind turbine that not only looks completely different than the wind turbines we are used to, it also works in a different way. It is a very dynamic and intelligent wind turbine that can work in nearly all circumstances from low wind speeds up to high storm wind speeds. It uses wind energy although the wind ...

ASTM E2848 - 11 standard test method for reporting photovoltaic non-concentrator system performance

Because there are a number of choices in this test method that depend on different applications and system configurations, it is the responsibility of the user of this test method to specify the details and protocol of an individual system power measurement prior to the beginning of a measurement. Unlike device-level measurements that report ...
