Modeling Considerations for the Long-Term Generation and Transmission Expansion Power System Planning Problem
… nondispatchable generation such as Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) necessitates the re-evaluation of the merit of planning methodologies in the changing power system context. Traditionally, planning has followed a logical progression through generation, transmission, reactive …

Renewable electric power systems energy yield and performance estimation
… presents models for reliability assessment, energy yield estimation, and uncertainty analysis of renewable electric power systems. We propose system performability models that describe system attributes while acknowledging failures and repairs in constituent elements. Two broad classes of …

Multiple Three-Phase Induction Generators for Wind Energy Conversion Systems
… largely driven by a need for the so-called green energy, i.e. energy generated from renewable sources such as wind, and also an increased emphasis on greener means for transportation. Some of the advantages multiphase machines offer over three-phase counterparts are better fault tolerance, smaller …

A Framework for Assessing the Reliability of Wind Energy Conversion Systems
During the last decade, wind power generation has seen rapid development. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, achieving 20\% wind power penetration in the U.S. by 2030 will require: (i) enhancement of the transmission infrastructure, (ii) improvement of reliability and operability of wind …
