Challenges posed by the integration of wave power onto the Irish power system

Kavanagh, David ; Keane, Andrew ; Flynn, Damian (2011-09-05)

In order to gauge the potential impact of wave power in Ireland, the capacity factor of theoretical wave farms deployed at various locations around the Irish coast is compared to the system-wide capacity factor of wind ...
Demand side resource operation on the Irish power system with high wind power penetration

Keane, Andrew ; Tuohy, Aidan ; Meibom, Peter ; Denny, Eleanor ; Flynn, Damian ; Mullane, Alan ; O'Malley, Mark (Elsevier, 2011-05)

The utilisation of demand side resources is set to increase over the coming years with the advent of advanced metering infrastructure, home area networks and the promotion of increased energy eﬃciency. Demand side resources ...
Dynamic frequency control with increasing wind generation

Lalor, Gillian ; Ritchie, Julia ; Rourke, Shane ; Flynn, Damian ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2004-06-10)

Frequency control is essential for the secure and stable operation of a power system. With wind penetration increasing rapidly in many power systems, ensuring continuous power system security is vital. The frequency ...
Evolution of operating reserve determination in wind power integration studies

Ela, Erik ; Kirby, Brendan ; Lannoye, Eamonn ; Milligan, Michael R. ; Flynn, Damian ; Zavadil, Bob ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2010-07)

The growth of wind power as an electrical power generation resource has produced great benefits with reductions in emissions and the supply of zero cost fuel. It also has created challenges for the operation of power ...
Frequency dynamics during high CCGT and wind penetrations

Meegahapola, Lasantha ; Flynn, Damian (IEEE, 2011)

Frequency stability is the paramount concern for secure and reliable operation of a power system. High wind penetration levels are reported in power systems with high thermal generation, and hence its likely to result high ...
Impact assessment of varying penetrations of electric vehicles on low voltage distribution systems

Richardson, Peter ; Flynn, Damian ; Keane, Andrew (IEEE, 2010-07)

Advances in the development of electric vehicles, along with policy incentives will see a wider uptake of this technology in the transport sector in future years. However, the widespread implementation of electric vehicles ...
Integration of variable generation : capacity value and evaluation of flexibility

Lannoye, Eamonn ; Milligan, Michael R. ; Adams, John ; Tuohy, Aidan ; Chandler, Hugo ; Flynn, Damian ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2010-07)

As integration of variable generation continues to grow rapidly in power systems globally, system planners are seeking new tools to understand the role of variable output generators and the challenges experienced with their ...
Modernising and rationalising the first course in power systems on the island of Ireland

O'Dwyer, Jeremiah ; Flynn, Damian ; Keane, Andrew ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2007-06)

The two largest Universities on the Island of Ireland both have significant power system activities. As part of a major all-island initiative these two groups are working more closely on joint research and educational ...
Multi-mode operation of combined-cycle gas turbines with increasing wind penetration

Troy, Niamh ; Flynn, Damian ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2010-08)

As power systems evolve to incorporate greater penetrations of variable renewables, the demand for flexibility within the system is increased. Combined-cycle gas turbines are traditionally considered as relatively ...
Optimal charging of electric vehicles in low-voltage distribution systems

Richardson, Peter ; Flynn, Damian ; Keane, Andrew (IEEE, 2011-06-23)

Advances in the development of electric vehicles, along with policy incentives will see a wider uptake of this technology in the transport sector in future years. However, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles ...
The role of power system flexibility in generation planning

Lannoye, Eamonn ; Flynn, Damian ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2011-07-24)

As the penetration of variable renewable generation increases in power systems worldwide, planning for the effects of variability will become more important. Traditional capacity adequacy planning techniques have been ...
Stochastic analysis of the impact of electric vehicles on distribution networks

Richardson, Peter ; Taylor, Jason ; Flynn, Damian ; Keane, Andrew (CIRED, 2011-06)

Advances in the development of electric vehicles, along with policy incentives, will see a wider uptake of this technology in the transport sector in future years. However, large penetrations of EVs could lead to adverse ...
System-wide inertial response from fixed speed and variable speed wind turbines

Ruttledge, Lisa ; Flynn, Damian (IEEE, 2011-07-24)

As wind penetration levels on power systems increase worldwide, the dynamic characteristics of these systems are changing due to the displacement of synchronous generation. One issue, of particular concern, is the resulting ...
