Consumption of fossil fuels for generating electric power causes environmental pollutions and possible global warming (Cader. Bertheau. Blechinger. Huyskens. &amp. Breyer. 2016). Alternatively. electric power generation by the nuclear power plants is risky due to the unreliable behavior of the plant and the possible challenges of nuclear waste dumping. Therefore. …

Wind energy industry has set new records in terms of installed capacity contributing to about 4% of the world’s net electricity production. The cumulative wind energy capacity escalated from 6100 megawatt (MW) in 1996 to 432.883 MW by the end of 2015. The size of utility-scale wind turbine (WT) is …

They say that with no past exists no future and therefore the research activity. regarding the lifecycle management in implementation and maintenance of green energy infrastructures started by consulting literature and people dealing with green energy generation industry. finding out that the most “scientific“ works are based on inherited slightly …

Renewable energy is a significant input for environmental. economic and social development. The wind energy has become the quickest thriving renewable energy resource. It is worth noting that wind power has the least emissions and lowest water consumption. but it has comparatively high costs. Thus. making wind energy station planning …

Wind energy is one of the fastest growing energy sources worldwide. The installed wind power reached 456 GW in Oct. 2016 (WWEA 2016). The yearly growth rate in 2015 was 16.8%. It was 16.5% in 2014. The environmental and economic merits of utilizing wind energy contributed to this steady growth …

The present paper describes a model of wind energy conversion system (WECS) for hydrogen production by water electrolysis in the region of Hassi R`mel (South of Algeria). developed under Simulink environment. The amounts of hydrogen produced using a WECS were considered as a case study for the three different sites …

Britain and Germany saw unprecedented growth of variable renewable energy (VRE) in the last decade. Many studies suggest this will significantly raise short term power system operation costs for balancing and congestion management. We review the actual development of these costs. their allocation and policy implications in both countries. Since …

This paper presents an enhanced control strategy for Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) using Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). A robust Super-Twisting (STW) sliding mode control for variable speed wind turbine is developed to produce the optimal aerodynamic torque and improve the dynamic performance of the WECS. The electromagnetic torque of …

This paper studies the multidisciplinary nature of two body wave energy converters by a parametric study based on the Taguchi method which helps to understand the effect of different dependent parameters on the wave energy conversion performance. Seven different parameters are analyzed and their effect on the maximum captured power. …

In this research work an introduction to the concept of an actively controlled horizontal axis wind turbine through varying blade tip sweep. is presented. The concept refers to variable tip swept rotor blades. that have the ability to pivot collectively aft. about an axis located at the blade tips. Quantities …
