Beloqui Larumbe, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Several efforts are being done nowadays to improve the modelling of Wind Turbine Systems (WTSs) for harmonic analysis in Offshore Wind Power Plants (OWPPs). Due to the high influence of the different control structures in the Power Electronic Converters (PECs) on the dynamic response of a WTS, each structure needs to be modelled specifically....conference paper 2018

Brown, T. W. (author), Bischof-Niemz, T. (author), Blok, K. (author), Breyer, C. (author), Lund, H. (author), Mathiesen, B. V. (author)A recent article ‘Burden of proof: A comprehensive review of the feasibility of 100% renewable-electricity systems’ claims that many studies of 100% renewable electricity systems do not demonstrate sufficient technical feasibility, according to the criteria of the article's authors (henceforth ‘the authors’). Here we analyse the authors’...journal article 2018

Mola Jimenez, Jorge (author), Rueda, José L. (author), Perilla Guerra, A.D. (author), Wang, D. (author), Palensky, P. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author)The deployment of variable renewable energy based power plants is increasing all over the world, however, unlike conventional power plants these are mostly connected to the grid via power electronic interfaces. High penetration of power electronic interfaced generation (PEIG) has an important impact on the inertia of the system, which is of...conference paper 2018

Ndreko, M. (author)The development of large offshore wind power generation in the North Sea has been significantly accelerated in the last years. The large distance from shore in combination with the need for large transmission capacity has raised the interest for the voltage source converter high voltage direct current technology (VSC-HVDC). Transmission system...doctoral thesis 2017

Vimanyu Kumar, Vimanyu (author)The growing importance of renewable energy to meet the demands of growing population has driven much focus for research in the wind energy sector. Currently most of the power production in the wind energy sector is done using the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT). due to its higher efficiency and reliability as compared to Vertical Axis Wind...master thesis 2017

Masilamani, S. (author)This study improves the Short term wind power forecasting to help bid the wind power in the electricity market. Supplying power lesser/greater than the expected power creates imbalance in the Electricity system. Hence electricity markets impose penalty for supplying power lesser/greater than expected power. Bidding right amount of power is an...master thesis 2017

Abolhadi, Hamed (author)In the Netherlands, the developing of offshore wind power (OWP) systems is one of options for electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES-E) for the transition to a sustainable energy system. In 2015, the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) announced that around 6500 MW of total offshore wind capacity required in the...master thesis 2017

ter Haar, O.A. (author)The increasing penetration of wind power generation introduces uncertainty in the behaviour of electric power grids. This work is concerned with the problem of day-ahead reserve scheduling (RS) for power systems with high levels of wind power penetration, and proposes a novel set-up that incorporates an alternating current (AC) Optimal Power...master thesis 2017

Morales-Espana, G. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Hobbs, Benjamin F. (author)Approximations made in traditional day-ahead unit commitment model formulations can result in suboptimal or even infeasible schedules for slow-start units and inaccurate predictions of actual costs and wind curtailment. With increasing wind penetration, these errors will become economically more significant. Here, we consider inaccuracies from...journal article 2017

Çetinay Iyicil, H. (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author), Guven, A. Nezih (author)In this paper, we propose a novel technique to determine the optimal placement of wind farms, thereby taking into account wind characteristics and electrical grid constraints. We model the long-term variability of wind speed using a Weibull distribution according to wind direction intervals, and formulate the metrics that capture wind speed...journal article 2017

Çetinay Iyicil, H. (author), Kekec, I.T. (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author), Tax, D.M.J. (author)Many countries aim to integrate a substantial amount of wind energy in the near future. This requires meticulous planning, which is challenging due to the uncertainty in wind profiles. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to discover and investigate those geographic areas that are well suited for building wind farms. We combine the key...conference paper 2017

Ramos, Andres (author), Rivier, Michel (author), Garcia-Gonzalez, Javier (author), Latorre, J. M. (author), Morales-Espana, G. (author)In this paper, we propose a method to analyze the amount of operation reserves procured in a system based on two stages. The first stage is a detailed hourly unit commitment and the second stage is a simulation model with a shorter time period. The method is applied to the Spanish hydrothermal system and several cases are analyzed to determine...conference paper 2016

A sturdy wind-powered rotary displacement pump suitable to Developing Regions (field case Palestina)Fekkes, M.E. (author)The peristaltic pump is promising to the developing world: the easiest to produce, with an excellent match to a wind rotor, and thus able to independently irrigate fields and fill water basins. From the basins users can use a siphon, rather than a bucket. Water could be accessible all day, close to homes and effortless. A prototype of the pump...master thesis 2015

Golieva, A. (author)Primary factor for the site selection during the planning process of the large modern wind farms is the wind climate, which is usually favorable at remote and offshore locations where the public grid is not particularly strong. Among the consequences of this solution is the necessity to connect wind farms to weak points of the grid and the...master thesis 2015

De Jong, B.C.P.M. (author)The Netherlands has the goal to have 14% of the total energy production in 2020 generated in a sustainable way. In order to achieve this goal, onshore wind turbines need to have a combined capacity of 6000 MW and the offshore capacity needs to be increased to 4450 MW. The onshore wind industry is however quite saturated. Experts forecast that...master thesis 2015
