Power systems must have enough generation to meet
demand at each moment of the day. In addition, they must also
have enough reserve to deal with unexpected contingencies. The
increase in the penetration of wind generation ...
For many good and practical reasons, lumped rainfall-runoff models are widely used to represent a catchment‟s response to rainfall. However, they have some acknowledged limitation, some of which are addressed here using a ...
The MOLAND project's aim is to provide spatial planning tools that can be used to assess, monitor and model the development of urban and regional environments. To date it has been applied to an area of over 70,000km2 across ...
This article seeks to establish the extent of displacement effects across gaming products. This is a particularly difficult question to address with precision. To date, many studies have looked at policy changes such as ...
We simulate a hypothetical family tax credit on a sample of French couples, using jointly a collective model of labor supply and a tax-benefit calculator. Work behaviors represent here a general concept of “effort,” and ...
This paper examines the ability of a power system to accommodate wind generation with varying ratios of doubly fed induction generator and fixed speed induction generator
turbines from both static and dynamic aspects. By ...
This paper addresses the market design implications of implementing ultra high (up to 42%) wind energy penetration in an isolated market. High wind penetration is becoming an increasing feature of many markets and the ...
This paper summarises some of the main impacts of
large amounts of wind power installed in the island of Ireland.
Using results from various studies performed on this system,
it is shown that wind power will impact on ...
Fossil fuel depletion and concerns over global climate
change are increasing the demand for sustainable and clean
solutions for electricity generation. In the coming years some of
the most difficult engineering challenges ...
