The generation and supply of electricity is currently about to undergo a fundamental transition that includes extensive development of smart grids. Smart grids are huge and complex networks consisting of a vast number of devices and entities which are connected with each other. This opens new...

Wind energy is a growing renewable energy because of its several advantages; this has changed dramatically with more wind energy penetrating the conventional power network. The influence of wind generators on the power quality is becoming an important issue; non-uniform power production causes...

Electricity generation from wind has grown sharply and its growth potential is still significant. However, the decentralized nature of the wind opposes the historically centralized structure of national networks. Unlike conventional sources, wind does not provide reactive power, which is...

This paper describes the models of a wind power system, such as the turbine, generator, power electronics converters and controllers, with the aim to control the generation of wind power in order to maximize the generated power with the lowest possible impact in the grid voltage and frequency...

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of static VAR compensator (SVC) and unified power flow controller (UPFC) in dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problem. DED schedules the online generator outputs with the predicted load demands over a certain period so that the...
