In this paper, a strategy is proposed in order to introduce in a realistic way wind generation into a transmission power system non sequential Monte Carlo adequacy study with economic dispatch. Thanks to the implemented solution, wind generation is consequently confronted to operational...

Massive implementation of renewable energy resources is a key element to reduce CO2 emissions associated to electricity generation. Wind resources can provide an important alternative to conventional electricity generation mainly based on fossil fuels.

To date, most of the existing wind farms have been built on-land but during the last few years many countries have also invested in offshore applications. The shift towards offshore wind project developments has mainly been driven by European energy policies, especially in north-west countries....

The Makeham distribution has been used to describe human mortality and establish actuarial tables. The hazard function is defined by μ(t)=A+BCt, we use the least squares type estimation to estimate the parameters of Makeham distribution in this paper. Seven cases are considered, when A, B, C...

A redundant complex discrete system is modelled through phase type distributions. The system is composed of a finite number of units, one online and the others in a warm standby arrangement. The units may undergo internal wear and/or accidental external failures. The latter may be repairable or...

This paper analyzes a phase-type geometric process repair model with spare device procurement lead time and repairman’s multiple vacations. The repairman may mean here the human beings who are used to repair the failed device. When the device functions smoothly, the repairman leaves the system...
