Highlighting the discrepancies in past reliability studies based on different key performance indicators (KPIs), the paper underscores the importance of consistent standards, like RDS-PP, for maintenance data categorisation. Leveraging on established digitalisation workflows, we investigate the efficacy of text classifiers in automating the categorisation process against conventional manual labelling. Results indicate that while classifiers exhibit high performance for specific datasets, their general applicability across diverse wind farms is limited at the present stage. Furthermore, differences in failure rate KPIs derived from manual versus classifier-processed data reveal uncertainties in both methods.

The orientations of PV modules may be very diverse when installed in places with complex topography, e.g. mountains and abandoned mine sites. Thus, the received irradiance by the modules is inconsistent directly results in current differences and hence leads to significant mismatch loss in the PV arrays. This paper proposes a solution to determine the most appropriate combination of tilts and orientations of PV modules as well as the arrangement of PV arrays. The complex topographies are fully considered to minimize the mismatch loss phenomenon, and hence the power generation degradation. The solution adopts a set of models, i.e. the irradiation model for the calculation of optimal module tilts and orientations, the shadow model for shadow effect analysis, and the mismatch model for mismatch condition analysis. A two-layer multi-objective optimization is implemented for the optimal arrangement. The proposed solution is assessed through the case study of a 30 MW PV farm.

Integration of wind turbines is now being expanded to urban and offshore settings in contrast to the conventional wind farms in relatively open areas. The direct installation of wind turbines poses a potential risk, as it may result in financial losses in scenarios characterized by inadequate wind resource availability. Therefore, wind energy availability analysis in such urban environments is a necessity. This research paper presents an in-depth investigation conducted to predict the exploitable wind energy at four distinct locations within Nottingham, United Kingdom. Subsequently, the most suitable location, Clifton Campus at Nottingham Trent University, is identified where a comprehensive comparative analysis of power generation from eleven different wind turbine models is performed. The findings derived from this analysis suggest that the QR6 wind turbine emerges as the optimal choice for subsequent experimental investigations to be conducted in partnership with Nottingham Trent University. Furthermore, this study explores the selection of an appropriate probability density function for assessing wind potential considering seven different distributions namely, Gamma, Weibull, Rayleigh, Log-normal, Genextreme, Gumbel, and Normal. Ultimately, the Weibull probability distribution is selected, and various methodologies are employed to estimate its parameters, which are then ranked using statistical assessments.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"18 15","pages":"3285-3300"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.13132","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142674151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Harmonics interact with the changing impedance, and even cause harmonic amplification and resonance. The harmonic deterioration of the multiple GCIs system is serious. To analyse the mechanism and way of harmonic deterioration in grid-connected system caused by nonlinear factors, the active impedance models of single inverter and multiple GCIs system including dead-time effect and digital control delay are established first. In view of this, the influence mechanism of non-linear factors on system stability is explored. The improved modal analysis method is used to traverse the network series parallel resonance caused by nonlinear factors. The results show that both the dead-time effect and digital control delay reduce phase margin of the system, resulting in the resonant frequency shift and the resonant peak increase. When the harmonic excitation source interacts with the complex network under the influence of nonlinear factors, it will lead to further deterioration of harmonics.

The uncertainty is used for the photovoltaic and wind power plants’ output in the proposed multi-objective optimization problem as a scenario-based stochastic approach. The proposed objective functions are realizing the operating cost, the amount of emission produced by generation resources, the amount of load-shedding, and the maximum participation of responsive demands in the management program. The idea of employing plug-in electric vehicle (PHEV) units in the form of intelligent parking lots within the network is also included in the proposed study, which can increase network flexibility and help improve the main features of the network. A modified IEEE 83-bus test system is used to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed model. The properties of PHEVs significantly affect the simulation results and compensate for the uncertainty associated with renewable energy sources. Randomly considering the parameters of PHEVs can also realistically bring the results of power management more realistic.

By using model reference adaptive control (MRAC), this article proposes a resilient approach that does not require an accurate model of the system and despite the uncertainties for detecting false data injections into the reference DC voltage and simultaneously mitigating their adverse effects on the system stability and performance. The proposed technique employs an observer to detect possible false data injections in an online manner. By emulating the behavior of an ideal reference model, the MRAC ensures adaptive adjustments of the control parameters over time to mitigate the negative effects of potential attacks effectively and despite non-idealities such as measurement noise, parameter variations, and environmental changes in DC microgrids, the MRAC effectively manages false data injection attacks.

Findings reveal a pronounced difference in the recovery capabilities of GFM and GFL following synchronization losses, highlighting an asymmetry in their abilities. Specifically, GFL converters exhibit more effectiveness in reinstating synchrony after synchronization losses caused by GFM. Conversely, GFM demonstrates a lesser capacity to recover from synchronization losses induced by GFL. Furthermore, analysis indicates that when the capacity ratio of GFL to the system's short-circuit capacity significantly exceeds that of GFM (exceeding a 1:5 ratio), the system experiences an absence of a stable equilibrium point, thereby affecting the synchronization stability of GFM.
