This paper discusses the connection policies adopted to facilitate the large number of wind farms seeking access to the Irish power system. A key feature is a grouped connection offer process that provides certainty for wind project developers and optimises the development of the network. A further interesting feature is the development of a “wind cluster” concept which permits semi-dedicated MV networks...
With the continuous effort of exploiting wind energy, a higher penetration of wind power will be integrated into networks in the form of distributed generation. In order to well plan the integration of wind power and the network, the randomness of wind power as well as its influence to the whole distribution networks should be considered. As a result, traditional optimal planning approach for distribution...
Innovative integration of new technologies can benefit our society greatly. This paper presents a system which exploits the synergy of wind and hydro (windro) generation in an appropriate environment. The system presented is a pumped storage system integrated into a skyscraper to store wind power and deliver it at times of peak demand. A discussion is provided of why this is an appropriate environment...
Nowadays, the implementation of environmentally-friendly and uncontrollable primary energy sources in the electrical power system production is increasing, introducing abatement in generation dispatchability. The incorporation of high levels of small-scale non-dispatchable distributed generation leads to the transition from the traditional 'vertical' power system structure to a 'horizontally-operated'...
The distributed generation realized by renewable energy sources will be largely developed in the future years. This penetration poses different questions as the optimal sizing, maximum revenues and returns etc. Using meteorological data for a given site, this paper evaluates the productivity of different types of generators with small or medium rated power - wind generator, photovoltaic module and...
With increasingly proportion of distributed generation (DG) in the power system, traditional power system planning has new challenges and demands. The necessity for flexible electric system, changing regulatory, energy savings and environmental impact are providing impetus to the development of DG. Itpsilas critical that the power system impacts be assessed accurately so that DG can be applied in...
