Capability of Zambian industries to manufacture grid-scale wind turbine blades and towers.
… grid system has been dominated by hydropower at 96 %, 2.1 % thermal and 1.7 % renewable (Kaluminiana, n.d.). During the 2014 - 2015 rainy season, Zambia received very low rains which led to reduced electricity production at the two major power plants. In the light of this situation, …

Analysis of Model-Free Control of Wind Farms Using Large-Eddy Simulations
Wind farms are clusters of wind turbines deployed over a relatively small area. During operations, the wake from upstream turbines may impinge on trailing turbines causing a decrease in power production. Wind farm control strategies aim at mitigating the effect of wake interactions. In this …
