This paper explores the relationship between wind generation, particularly the control of reactive power from variable speed wind turbine generators, and the rotor angle stability of the conventional synchronous generators ...
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 ...
The capacity value of a generator is the contribution that a given generator makes to generation system adequacy. Due to the variable and stochastic nature of wind, the modeling of wind generation in the same manner as ...
At times of high generation levels from distributed generators (DGs), there may be a paucity of conventional generators still synchronised to the transmission system. These synchronous machines have traditionally been the ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
