Full Text:: : Analysis and Optimal Sizing of an Energy Storage System for Wind Farm Applications Abstract approved

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...

Full Text:: : Development of Biomimetic Control Strategies for the Optimal Use of Renewable Sources and Energy Storage

Creator:: Davidson, James D.
Abstract:: Variable electrical generation (VG) sources such as wind farms are an increasing percentage of total electrical generation in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) balancing area and are starting to impact the ability of the regional balancing authority to control the electric grid. Wind farms are not dispatchable and challenge historical...
