A low‐carbon strategy using INVELOX turbines in the presence of real‐time energy price uncertainty

Abstract

This paper provides innovation in wind turbine (WT) technology and its advantages in microgrid planning. The microgrid in this work includes various renewable and nonrenewable resources. The proposed low‐carbon strategy is implemented via two scenarios. In the first scenario, the uncertainty of selling and buying real‐time energy prices is investigated with and without the standard and portable (increased velocity) INVELOX turbines. In the second scenario, the authors study the operation of the microgrid assuming the buying price is higher or lower than the selling price for all time intervals, as well as the first scenario assumption. This article considers the total cost of microgrids and environmental pollution as objective functions. Finally, the environmental‐economic stochastic low‐carbon strategy is modeled via mixed‐integer linear programming; solving the problem using epsilon constraints and a fuzzy satisfying approach to select the best solution, respectively. By considering INVELOX WTs and portable INVELOX WTs, the cost reduction of the microgrid in the first and second scenarios is approximately 25%, and 64% higher than the conventional WTs, respectively. Additionally, a low‐carbon model is proposed by considering INVELOX and its efficiency is successfully shown. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Smart grid optimization considering decentralized power distribution and demand side management

“…The production of power from wind turbines relies on several factors, including wind speed, wind direction, turbine positioning, size, and the generator's dynamic performance. On the other hand, the output power of photovoltaic systems is influenced by the cell temperature and the level of solar radiation [34].…”

Techno-Economic Assessment for Installation of INVELOX Wind Turbines in Northern Iran

“…Numerical and experimental results in another study, [56], shows that despite not reaching a full wind omnidirectionality, 378-432% increase in energy production was utilized with an INVELOX system compared to a traditional one. It has been shown that the application of INVELOX turbines in microgrids can reduce the environmental pollution and total cost of microgrid considering the financial uncertainties [57].…”
