In the stand-alone microgrid with hybrid wind, fuel cell (FC) with electrolyzer (EZ) and diesel generations, the intermittent wind power may cause the serious power fluctuation. In addition to the hydrogen production for FC, the EZ can be used to alleviate power fluctuation by an appropriate...

Wind farms interconnected to power system bring new challenges to power system economic operation. It is imperative to study how to solve optimal power flow (OPF) formulation with wind farms. In this paper, a multi-period optimal power flow (DOPF) is studied based on traditional OPF algorithm....

Nowadays, wind turbine generator (WTG) is increasingly required to provide control capabilities regarding output power. Under this scenario, this paper proposes an output power control of WTG using pitch angle control connected to small power systems. By means of the proposed method, output...

This paper presents some of the results of a power system analysis for Chile. The two major Chilean electric systems are roughly modelled and optimized using a linear programming method with the option to integrate renewable energy sources like wind power, solar power, mini-hydropower and...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the wake effect on both the steady-state operation and dynamic performance of a wind farm and provide conclusions that can be used as thumb rules in generic assessments where the full details of the wind farms are unknown. A simplified explicit...

As part of an on-going program to develop technological scenarios for 100 per cent renewable generation within the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM), we explore the degree to which concentrating solar thermal (CST) power might reliably contribute to the generation mix. We analyse...
