Wind energy generation and forecasts: a case study of Darling and Vredenburg sites
This research study presents the wind resource assessment at two potential onshore wind sites at the Western Cape of South Africa for small and large scale wind energy generation. It is anticipated that by virtue of the enormous wind resources prevalent along the South Africa West Coast, it is …

Alternative energy systems for Puerto Rico : analysis and comparison of anaerobic waste digestion
Energy prices in Puerto Rico are increasing constantly, making evident the need for alternative energy sources. Several methods to produce power have been developed as alternatives to burning petroleum, such as solar energy generation, but these processes have not been successfully implemented in …

Er:YAG Lasers for Methane and Wind Sensing
… Many countries are transitioning to renewable energy sources to curb global warming. However, renewable energy is still unreliable on a large-scale, which could lead to grid-instability. We will consider two methods of facilitating this transition: first, the use of “cleaner” fossil fuel …

Multi-criteria wind energy siting assessment : a case study in the West Fjords
… maps may aid in the strategic implementation of wind energy. Strategic implementation refers to holistic, multi-faceted site selection that addresses the common issues associated with wind energy generation. Current siting methods emphasize cost and prediction of power production. This study will …

Investigation of factors driving the costs of operating the 2020 Irish power system with large-scale wind generation
… sources in 2020. From this it is expected that wind generation on the Irish electricity system will be in the region of 32-37% of total generation. This leads to issues resulting from wind energy being a non-synchronous, unpredictable and variable source of energy use on a scale never seen …

Performance Assessment and Management of Large Wind Farms under Abnormal Grid Operating Conditions
Increased penetration of wind generation into high voltage transmission systems necessitates the development of grid integration standards. Wind farms during normal system operation have been well assessed for impacts like forecasting, reliability, power quality, and transient stability following …

The Skill Assessment of Seasonal Wind Prediction in South Africa
To assess the skill of seasonal wind prediction in South Africa, the period between 1983 and 2018 was studied, unless otherwise stated. A total of sixteen (16) sites were studied across South Africa to ensure that each region across the country was represented in the study. Seasonally, prediction …

An integrated generator-rectifier system for high-power AC-DC conversion
… plays an increasingly important role in energy conversion systems, such as wind turbines or electric ship grids. Conventional conversion architectures rely heavily on active rectifiers, which consist of fully-controlled power-electronics switches. These make the system bulky, lossy, and …
