Modeling and Analysis of a Novel Grid Connection Topology for Offshore Wind Farms using MMC-HVDC Transmission

To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, the Netherlands is integrating large amounts of offshore wind energy into the power system and has ambitious plans for the coming years. A grid topology with transmission capacity above 1 GW connecting offshore wind farms (OWFs) at distances close to 100 km in a standardized, modular, and cost...

2018 Competition on operational planning of sustainable power systems: Testsbeds and results

This paper concerns with the development of two new testbeds, the associated datasets, and the analysis of the results obtained by applying different heuristic optimization algorithms that participated in the 2018 panel and competition on”Emerging heuristic optimization algorithms for operational planning of sustainable electrical power...

Parametric Evaluation of Different ANN Architectures: Forecasting Wind Power Across Different Time Horizons

The participation of volatile wind energy resources in the generation mix of power systems is increasing. It is therefore becoming more and more crucial for system operators to accurately predict the wind power generation across different short term horizons (5 to 60 minutes ahead) in order to adequately balance the system and maintain system...
