“…There are different types of studies on smart grid, e.g., some cover only one aspect such as social [80,81,[86][87][88][89] or economic [46,90,91], or technological, while others cover multiple aspects such as socio-economic [85,92], or socio-technical [93], or techno-economic [28], or all three aspects [74,83]. Although this paper does not cover the technological aspect in detail, other existing research examines this technological aspect spanning various areas such as PV systems, VPPs, storage, DERs, and demand-side management.…”

“…The economic aspect covers elements such as investment costs, maintenance and operational costs, and energy management in wind energy systems in the smart grid [90]. Along with security, economic viability is a major challenge in the adaptability and sustainability of wind turbines [90]. One research discusses the economic aspect of pooling small local prosumers in the UK market context [46].…”

“…The analysis of different aspects of literature related to the effective existence of community renewable energy networks (CREN) reveals that although there is abundant information on the technology components, the social aspects have not received the same level of attention [83]. These social aspects include human infrastructure or collaboration [89], economics [85,90,92], and governance [94,95]. Adopting a holistic approach is significant, and hence, both technological and social aspects should incorporate into a working solution for successful implementation of CREN [83].…”

Prosumer Communities and Relationships in Smart Grids: A Literature Review, Evolution and Future Directions

Smart grids are robust, self-healing networks that allow bidirectional propagation of energy and information within the utility grid. This introduces a new type of energy user who consumes, produces, stores and shares energy with other grid users. Such a user is called a “prosumer.” Prosumers’ participation in the smart grid is critical for the sustainability and long-term efficiency of the energy sharing process. Thus, prosumer management has attracted increasing attention among researchers in recent years. This paper systematically examines the literature on prosumer community based smart grid by reviewing relevant literature published from 2009 to 2018 in reputed energy and technology journals. We specifically focus on two dimensions namely prosumer community groups and prosumer relationships. Based on the evaluated literature, we present eight propositions and thoroughly describe several future research directions.

“…How the ABL evolves with space and time influences phenomena that impact public health and safety [1][2][3][4][5]. For example, the transport of air pollutants, pollen and spores [6][7][8][9], wind power supply to smart grid systems [10][11][12][13][14], forecast of local weather [2][3][4][5], air traffic control at airports [15][16][17][18], the spread and management of wildfires [19][20][21][22], and emissions mitigation of greenhouse gases [23][24][25][26] are all affected by the dynamic state of the ABL. Therefore, mitigation of adverse conditions affected by the dynamic state of the ABL requires accurate measurements of wind velocity over micro-and mesoscale domains [2,27,28].…”

We present a model-based approach to wind velocity profiling using motion perturbations of a multirotor unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in both hovering and steady ascending flight. A state estimation framework was adapted to a set of closed-loop rigid body models identified for an off-the-shelf quadrotor. The quadrotor models used for wind estimation were characterized for hovering and steady ascending flight conditions ranging between 0 and 2 m/s. The closed-loop models were obtained using system identification algorithms to determine model structures and estimate model parameters. The wind measurement method was validated experimentally above the Virginia Tech Kentland Experimental Aircraft Systems Laboratory by comparing quadrotor and independent sensor measurements from a sonic anemometer and two SoDARs. Comparison results demonstrated quadrotor wind estimation in close agreement with the independent wind velocity measurements. Wind velocity profiles were difficult to validate using time-synchronized SoDAR measurements, however. Analysis of the noise intensity and signal-to-noise ratio of the SoDARs proved that close-proximity quadrotor operations can corrupt wind measurement from SoDARs.

“…There are several methods to optimize the efficiency of a wind turbine. Among them, some researchers propose the variable speed generator to produce the electric power, then the frequency converter or other techniques are applied to adjust the current frequency into the fixed frequency of the grid [4,5]. However, developing a high efficiency generator for a variable speed input is a very complex task and it increases the cost.…”

Application of Electro-Hydraulic Actuator System to Control Continuously Variable Transmission in Wind Energy Converter

2019

The wind energy conversion system (WEC) has been increasingly proposed to capture wind energy producing electrical power in high efficiency. One of the most important factors that has significant influence on the overall efficiency is the performance of generators in a fixed-speed wind turbine. The efficiency of the generator strongly depends on the operating speed. Therefore, the generator should be controlled to operate at the rated speed to increase the overall efficiency. In this paper, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) was employed to maintain the speed of the generator by controlling the transmission ratio. By employing a position control system based on an electro-hydraulic actuator (EHA), the speed ratio could be tuned continuously to keep the generator at rated speed. Here, an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSC) was developed to control the proposed EHA CVT. Mathematical analysis was also carried out to investigate the global stability of the system. Finally, experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed WECs.
