The present status and challenges of wind energy education and training in China

Xie, Yuan; Feng, Yanhui; Qiu, Yingning - In: Renewable Energy 60 (2013) C, pp. 34-41

Wind energy has been identified in China as an important alternative energy source to balance its energy mix. By the end of 2012, wind power (2%) has surpassed nuclear power to become China's 3rd largest energy resource of electricity, only behind thermal power and hydropower. The rapid growth...

Investigation of wind characteristics and wind energy potential in Kirklareli, Turkey

Gökçek, Murat; Bayülken, Ahmet; Bekdemir, Şükrü - In: Renewable Energy 32 (2007) 10, pp. 1739-1752

Utilization of wind energy as an energy source has been growing rapidly in the whole world due to environmental pollution, consumption of the limited fossil fuels and global warming. Although Turkey has fairly high wind energy potential, exploitation of the wind energy is still in the crawling...

“You do not have to be a utility goliath to build a windfarm” or “David can do it!”

Edwards, P.D. - In: Renewable Energy 9 (1996) 1, pp. 875-879

Many landowners believe that to build a windfarm on their land they have to find a developer or be approached by a large utility.

Semi-automatic construction of a domain ontology for wind energy using Wikipedia articles

Küçük, Dilek; Arslan, Yusuf - In: Renewable Energy 62 (2014) C, pp. 484-489

Domain ontologies are important information sources for knowledge-based systems. Yet, building domain ontologies from scratch is known to be a very labor-intensive process. In this study, we present our semi-automatic approach to building an ontology for the domain of wind energy which is an...

Integrated power characteristic study of DFIG and its frequency converter in wind power generation

Li, Shuhui; Haskew, Timothy A.; Jackson, Jeff - In: Renewable Energy 35 (2010) 1, pp. 42-51

paper investigates power generation characteristics of a DFIG system through computer simulation. The specific features of … the study are (1) a steady-state model of a DFIG system in d–q reference frame, (2) a simulation mechanism that reflects … decoupled d–q control strategies, (3) power characteristic simulation for both generator and converter, and (4) an integrative …

Dynamic wind estimation based control for small wind turbines

Meyer, David G.; Srinivasan, Sriram; Semrau, Greg - In: Renewable Energy 50 (2013) C, pp. 259-267

We introduce a novel scheme for small wind turbines that gives dynamic estimation of wind speed from rotor angular velocity measurements. The estimation proceeds in two different dynamic observers, one giving a valid estimate for higher Tip Speed Ratios (TSRs) and which we call the Upper Wind...

Modeling, control and simulation of a PV/FC/UC based hybrid power generation system for stand-alone applications

Uzunoglu, M.; Onar, O.C.; Alam, M.S. - In: Renewable Energy 34 (2009) 3, pp. 509-520

Different energy sources and converters need to be integrated to meet sustained load demands while accommodating various natural conditions. This paper focuses on the integration of photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell (FC) and ultra-capacitor (UC) systems for sustained power generation. In the proposed...

Life cycle assessment of a community hydroelectric power system in rural Thailand

Pascale, Andrew; Urmee, Tania; Moore, Andrew - In: Renewable Energy 36 (2011) 11, pp. 2799-2808

Rural electrification and the provision of low cost, low emission technology in developing countries require decision makers to be well informed on the costs, appropriateness and environmental credentials of all available options. While cost and appropriateness are often shaped by observable...

FAR from the grid: A rural electrification field study

Díaz, P.; Arias, C.A.; Peña, R.; Sandoval, D. - In: Renewable Energy 35 (2010) 12, pp. 2829-2834

This paper analyses the field performance of different off-grid generation technologies applied to the electrification of rural villages. Autonomous diesel generators are the most extended technology. It is a well known application, although it has also some disadvantages: fuel transportation...
