Power systems with a large share of inherently intermittent energy sources require new approaches to system operation. Demand side management is seen as one potential resource for maintaining power balance in a future energy system with large amounts of volatile renewable energy generation. Existing demand response programs require flexibility in a set time frame from the electricity consumers in...
As part of the recently completed National Offshore Wind Energy Grid Interconnection Study (NOWEGIS), potential sites for 54 GW of offshore wind for interconnection into the US grid were identified based on lowest levelized cost of energy. Significant offshore wind energy has the potential to create steady-state congestion for the transmission grid near the interconnection points. Based on 2030 Summer...
This paper presents a method for primary evaluation of a wind farm based on the wind turbine Adaptability Coefficient. This coefficient is calculated according to economical criteria of wind turbines as well as their capability in power production through the site where the wind turbines will be installed. The data series of wind recorded from three different sites and characteristics of several types...
Brazil has a large potential for wind: it is estimated that nearly 140,000 MW of wind energy generating capacity could be built in the country. In December 2009 a specific auction to contract wind power was carried out. The motivation of this auction was to take advantage of the 2008-2009 world financial crisis that has lowered equipment cost as well as to foster competition among the interested investors,...
The renewable energy consumption has been increased rapidly with high economic growth in China. As one of the most promising renewable energy resource, wind energy has become a major part of the plans for sustainable development. The technical-economic analysis of the project reveals that the revenue from certified emission reductions (CERs) of clean development mechanism (CDM) project can increase...
