High penetrations of wind power on distribution networks
are causing voltage rise on many networks. This voltage
rise is limiting the permissible penetration levels of wind.
Numerous active control schemes have been ...
In this paper we introduce the use of force feedback in conjunction with myoelectric control to establish an improved interface for a powered prosthetic limb. The force feedback is delivered through a single-axis exoskeleton ...
This paper details the methodological approach and outcomes of the All Island Grid study, which aims to show the impacts of high penetrations of renewable energy in the Irish
electricity system. Renewable Generation ...
Many countries have declared future renewable
energy penetration targets. Wind power connection to power systems is delayed by limited transmission system capacity as attractive wind sites are often located in weakly ...
The stochastic nature of wind alters the unit commitment and dispatch problem. By accounting for this uncertainty when scheduling the system, more robust schedules are produced, which should, on average, reduce expected ...
Renewable electrical energy grid connection is
hampered by transmission capacity limitations and public
opposition to new transmission development. This paper
presents a methodology to find the optimal positions on ...
The paper describes the methodology that has been developed for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Republic of Ireland, Eirgrid, and Northern Ireland, SONI the
TSO in Northern Ireland, to study the effects of advanced ...
Due to rising fossil fuel and electricity prices and the
overall need to reduce carbon emissions, there is a growing
interest in the utilisation of micro-generation amongst
electricity consumers and governments alike. ...
Many countries have ambitious plans to increase wind energy penetration levels in the near future. With a low capacity factor and even lower capacity credit, wind power is a fundamentally different power generation source ...
This paper summarizes work that has been done
to examine the impact of the uncertainty and variability of significant installed wind power on the Irish system. As more and more wind power is installed on the system, the ...
This study examines the 2013 Irish electricity network
and its ability to accommodate large levels of wind generation
while maintaining appropriate voltage levels across the
system. The network provides a fully functional ...
In this paper, the unit commitment and dispatch of a power system with and without a pumped storage unit is examined for increasing levels of installed wind power, from 17% of total energy to 80% of total energy generated ...
This paper examines peat power production in Ireland under the three pillars of energy policy—security, competitiveness and environment. Peat contributes to energy security—as an indigenous fuel, it reduces dependency on ...
The electricity system of Ireland is unique as it has no synchronous connections to other
systems, while the existing non-synchronous connection provides limited flexibility.
When coupled with a target of 40% electricity ...
Battery electric vehicles are considered by many to
be part of a series of measures necessary to reduce global carbon
dioxide emissions and dependence on fossil fuel resources. The extent
to which this is possible depends ...
Wind power generation is the fastest growing renewable technology worldwide with large on- and off-shore wind farms being connected to the transmission networks. A significant share of it is, however, still being deployed ...
This paper examines the small-signal stability impacts of high penetrations of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines on power systems. It provides a basic overview of small-signal stability concepts and then ...
Increasing penetration of wind power on power
systems worldwide is resulting in the unconventional operation
of base-load generating units. These units which were originally
designed for operation at full output are ...
The penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing on distribution networks
across the world. Non-firm access to the network is now being proposed as a cost effective way to facilitate DG. However, concerns remain ...
The concept of capacity credit is widely used to quantify the contribution of renewable
technologies to securing demand. This may be quantified in a number of ways; this paper
recommends the use of Effective Load ...
