TL;DR: In this article, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in cooperation with Enron Wind, has started a project to record output power from several large commercial wind power plants at the 1-Hertz rate.
Abstract: With electric utilities and other power providers showing increased interest in wind power and with growing penetration of wind capacity into the market, questions about how wind power fluctuations affect power system operations and about wind power’s ancillary services requirements are receiving lots of attention. To evaluate short-term wind power fluctuations and the range of ancillary service of wind power plants, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in cooperation with Enron Wind, has started a project to record output power from several large commercial wind power plants at the 1-Hertz rate. The project’s purpose is to acquire actual, long-term wind power output data for analyzing wind power fluctuations, frequency distribution of the changes, the effects of spatial diversity, and wind power ancillary services. This paper presents statistical properties of the data collected so far and discusses the results of data analysis. Although the efforts to monitor wind power plants are ongoing, we can already conclude from the available data that despite the stochastic nature of wind power fluctuations, the magnitudes and rates of wind power changes caused by wind speed variations are seldom extreme, nor are they totally random. Their values are bounded in narrow ranges. Power output data also show significant spatial variations within a large wind power plant.Copyright © 2002 by ASME

TL;DR: In this paper, a further-driven system for electric power generation is controlled according to increased values of a load power demand and a turbine output shaft speed by incorporating a compensation for inertia in the path between the power source and the load.
Abstract: By controlling a power source in response to a load power demand, more efficient operation is obtained. Faster response is also realized by incorporating a compensation for inertia in the path between the power source and the load. In one exemplary embodiment, a further-driven system for electric power generation is controlled according to increased values of a load power demand and a turbine output shaft speed.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-objective optimisation algorithm is proposed for optimizing the configuration of a standalone wind-solar-battery hybrid power system, based on which the power supply reliability and constraint conditions for the equipment quantities are considered for establishing various evaluation indexes for improving system performance.
Abstract: With the development of the energy internet, the standalone wind–solar–battery hybrid power system has gradually become an effective means for the complete utilisation of clean energy for power generation. The allocation of the various types of power sources for ensuring a reliable power supply and for improving the economic efficiency of a system is a crucial issue in the system planning and design stages. The models of the power load and the power sources, containing random components, are first established in this study, based on which the power supply reliability and constraint conditions for the equipment quantities are considered for establishing various evaluation indexes for improving the system performance. Then, according to the combinations of the natural selection particle swarm optimisation algorithm and the weight coefficient transform method, a multi-objective optimisation algorithm is proposed for optimising the configuration of a standalone wind–solar–battery hybrid power system. Finally, it is demonstrated by an example that the optimisation method not only meets the requirements of the multi-objective optimisation system but is also significant in reducing energy wastes and fluctuations, cost saving, and in ensuring the reliability of the power supply.

TL;DR: The main aspects of the Brazilian Power System and the factors which are being taken into consideration in the definition of the main characteristics of these transmission lines are presented in this paper, where the authors propose a model for the transmission of large amounts of energy from very remote sources.
Abstract: The Brazilian energy resources to be exploited in the near future are located in the Northern region (Amazon basin), where there is a great hydroelectric potential. Major power markets on the other hand are expected to be in the southeastern and northeastern regions. The distances between these Amazon hydro power plants and the load centers range from 2000 to 2800 km. Therefore, a great challenge will have to be faced in the future, namely the transmission of large amounts of energy from very remote sources. The main aspects of the Brazilian Power System and the factors which are being taken into consideration in the definition of the main characteristics of these transmission lines are presented. >
