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...
The growth in renewable and distributed generation is driving the gradual evolution of the methods used to plan and operate transmission and distribution networks. Smart Grid technologies in the area of Active Network Management (ANM) are expected to facilitate the increased connection of renewable and distributed generators to electricity networks in the near-term. Other Smart Grid technologies are...
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...
Around the world, a rapidly increasing growth of distributed energy resources (DER) based on renewable energy sources (RES) can be observed. This is due to the increase in energy demand combined with restriction in building new large scale power plants and a search for carbon-free technologies for energy production. Among the existing renewable distributed generation technologies, wind turbines (WT)...
In order to integrate distributed generation (DG) in the current electricity grids, it is necessary to identify the essential interventions able to manage the evolution of existing electrical networks. A large penetration of micro generation, also based on renewable energy sources, can be favoured by the creation of microgrids managed by Information and communication technology (ICT). In order to...
