Impacts of Prediction on Wave Energy Converter Control

Creator:: Comard, Colin Q.
Abstract:: Ocean waves provide a promising source of renewable energy for the North American electric grid. However, ideal control of wave energy converters (WECs) requires perfect forecasting of future wave conditions, and waves can be unpredictable. This paper presents a comparison of three different prediction methods and analyzes their performance in...

Simplified WECC modeling for frequency response, wind integration, and energy storage

Creator:: Bhattacharji, Pranathi
Abstract:: The primary objective of a grid is to maintain a balance between generation and load. If these quantities are not in balance with each other, severe damages such as voltage fluctuations, low power quality, power outages or even cascaded blackouts may occur. Hence one of the primary factors that holds...
