Thus, this paper investigates the influence of parameter uncertainties upon a dynamic performance of a grid-tied Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The main uncertain parameters found in the study are mutual and rotor winding reactances which occurred due to the variation of the angular positions of the rotor caused by varying wind speeds. The variation in the wind speed caused the generator rotor speed to deviate between 25% and 150%. Consequently, the rotor winding reactance of DFIG changes from its nominal value of 1.31 mΩ to between 0.983 and −0.655 mΩ; and the mutual reactance from its nominal value of 0.941 Ω to between 0.758 and −0.4708 Ω. As a result, the stator and rotor winding voltages and currents of the DFIG are uncertain.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"433 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135814081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transition to renewable energy from fossil fuels, which currently produce the majority of emissions, is essential to preventing the climatic disaster. Hybrid energy generation systems are still in their infancy. It is envisaged that future technology developments would lead to greater application and more economical goods. There will be more standardised designs, which will make it easier to select a system that is suitable for a certain application. The components will communicate more with one another. As a result, control, monitoring, and diagnosis will be made simpler. The hybrid energy system (HES), also known as hybrid power, is expected to be the long-term power solution for microgrid (MG) systems. This study compares and contrasts several theories and conventional approaches to controlling HRES’s control and energy consumption. A successful energy management strategy has been created using a variety of methods and procedures. The effectiveness of an EMS is determined by its control architecture and the solution approach used; common topologies include hierarchical, decentralised and centralised EMS. Supply side management and demand side management, two EMS components, will be discussed later. The three EMS control architectures are examined in this section. In order to determine the most practical and dependable solution with the lowest Net present cost (NPC), COE and realistic environmental consequences, various hybridisation cases of a PV panel, wind turbine, battery storage and diesel generator are designed, analysed and compared using DSM. The results of taking into account DSM indicated a reduction in CO 2 emissions of 25%, NPC emissions of 14.8%, COE emissions of 14% and an increase in RF emissions of 8.5%. Two fundamental metrics – the DSM Quality Index for technical benefits and the DSM Appreciation Index for economic advantages – are used to assess the technical and economic benefits of DSM.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136103933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This situation leads to economic instability within the system. However, an energy storage system can help maintain energy supply and control system stability for renewable incorporated thermal power plants. Unlike in regulated markets, energy prices in deregulated markets are not fixed by any government body or particular company. Instead, the Independent System Operator (ISO) serves as the main entity in the electrical market, gathering tenders from Generation Companies (GENCOs), Distribution Companies (DISCOs), and Transmission Companies (TRANSCOs). The market controller regulates energy prices using Nodal Pricing (NP), which provides economic benefits to both GENCOs and DISCOs. However, the unpredictability of renewable sources often results in a decline in system profit due to the production of an imbalance price (CostIMC) caused by a mismatch in contracted power generation from the renewable power plant. To address these issues, this study proposes a novel combined system that utilizes a suitable scheduling technique for the optimum operation of a wind farm-compressed air energy storage (CAES) system to maximize profit and revenue while maintaining grid frequency. The CAES system’s energy level is divided into four different levels, and an optimal strategy has been developed to efficiently utilize the CAES system to maintain grid frequency. This work has been conducted in both regulated and deregulated environments using a modified IEEE 30-bus system. The proposed method has been compared with an existing approach and has yielded better results in all aspects.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"36 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nonlinear nature of the WECS components has made controllers design challenging. To enhance the transient response of system variables, Fractional Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) controllers are considered as they are more suitable for such nonlinear physical systems. The additional parameters introduced by FOPI are normally tuned using a single objective, multi-dimensional particle swarm optimization algorithm. However, the inter-dependence of regulation loops introduces additional complexity that is solved in this work using a multi-objective optimization strategy based on a succession of Single-Objective PSO and Multi-Objective PSO. A simulation study has been conducted in order to demonstrate the higher performance and superior tracking accuracy of the proposed multi-objective optimization strategy in variable wind speed operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136067356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The governments recognize the importance of transitioning to sustainable energy sources and have taken strategic steps to promote the renewable energy sector, particularly wind energy, to reduce dependence on finite fossil fuels and promote eco-friendly alternatives. Local and international enterprises, along with private investors, have undertaken various wind energy projects in the country. Despite overreliance on conventional resources like coal and gasoline leading to an energy crisis, Morocco sees wind energy as a viable solution due to its increasing accessibility and cost effectiveness. This study comprehensively explores Morocco’s wind energy landscape, defining wind energy and its global and local potential. It highlights challenges and opportunities in wind energy development and outlines strategies to enhance wind resource utilization. By 2021, Morocco achieved a significant milestone by raising the proportion of clean energy in its mix to 37, 6% with wind energy contributing 45% of this. Building on this success, Morocco aims to further increase its renewable energy capacity, targeting 52% of total capacity from renewable source by 2030 according to (IRENA). This showcases Morocco’s commitment to sustainable energy and its progressive approach to creating a greener and more resilient energy future.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"115 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136067461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to compare several recycling techniques for composite materials using landfill as a baseline scenario. Several aspects can influence the performance of GF and CF recovery, but one of the most important is the efficiency of recycling technologies in terms of the recovered GF/CF fiber rate. To evaluate this amount of fiber annually, a material flow analysis (MFA) was performed based on the punctual years of 2030, 2040, and 2050. A correlation with other aspects was established and based on maturity level, technical, economic, and environmental aspects.

However, the unpredictability of wind resources poses significant challenges to the secure and stable operation of the power grid. To address this challenge, numerous computational and statistical methods have been proposed in the literature to forecast short-term wind power generation. However, the demand for more accurate and reliable methodologies to tackle this problem remains. In this context, this paper proposes a new hybrid framework that combines a statistical pre-processing stage with an attention-based deep learning approach to overcome the shortcomings of existing forecasting strategies in accurately predicting multi-seasonal wind power time series. The proposed ensemble model involves a data transformation stage that normalizes the data distribution, along with modeling and removing multiple seasonal patterns from the historical time-series. Considering these results, the proposed model further incorporates an LSTM Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model with an attention mechanism, for each month of the year, to better capture the relevant temporal dependencies in the input residuals sequence. The model was trained and evaluated on hourly wind power data obtained from the Spanish electricity market, spanning the period from 2008 to 2019. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms well-established DL-based models, achieving lower error metrics. These findings have potential applications in energy trading, grid planning, and renewable energy management.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83827551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
