The Wind energy is more reliable and speedier growing, among the renewable energy resources, due to the world environment challenges as well as increasing demand for energy. The wind turbine system's stability is cumbersome due to the uneven distribution of wind. Centrifugal and gravitational...

The research in this paper reveals how organising the innovation ecosystem can enable the achievement of the aim for innovation and competitiveness. The research was conducted from June 2014 to May 2015 using a qualitative deductive approach among operation & maintenance (O&M) actors in offshore...

On 10 June 2011, the district council of Ahrweiler in the north of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany took the decision to meet 100% of the district's electricity needs through renewable energy by 2030. Yet the share of renewable energy in the district's overall electricity...

This paper presents a summary of the mechanical features and the medium term operating experience from three small horizontal axis wind energy conversion systems covering a range of 500 to 5000 Watt, intented for rural and isolated communities. These turbines have a new regulator which reduces...

A clustering approach is presented for short-term prediction of power produced by a wind turbine at low wind speeds. Increased prediction accuracy of wind power to be produced at future time periods is often bounded by the prediction model complexity and computational time involved. In this...

The control of a wind energy conversion system can be decomposed into two parts: a local control depending on the power structure and a global control (strategy) deduced from global considerations. The local part ensures an efficient energy management of each component of the system. The local...

Wind data in terms of annual, seasonal and diurnal variations at Queira, which is located in the southern part of Jordan was studied and analyzed. For this purpose, long-term wind speed data for a period of 12 years (1990–2001) was used. The analysis showed that the seasonal and diurnal...
