Wind Power Integration with Smart Grid and Storage System: Prospects and Limitations

Abstract

Wind power generation is playing a pivotal role in adopting renewable energy sources in many countries. Over the past decades, we have seen steady growth in wind power generation throughout the world. This article aims to summarize the operation, conversion and integration of the wind power with conventional grid and local microgrids so that it can be a onestop reference for early career researchers. The study is carried out primarily based on the horizontal axis wind turbine and the vertical axis wind turbine. Afterward, the types and methods of storing this electric power generated are discussed elaborately. On top of that, this paper summarizes the ways of connecting the wind farms with conventional grid and microgrid to portray a clear picture of existing technologies. Section-wise, the prospects and limitations are discussed and opportunities for future technologies are highlighted. It is envisaged that, this paper will help researchers and engineering professionals to grasp the fundamental concepts related to wind power generation concisely and effectively.

A Review and Analysis of the Effects of Colors of Light On the Performance of Solar Photovoltaic Panels

“…Researchers are still finding methods to enhance the performance of the solar panel in different wavelength of light source. Energy generation from solar [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], wind [33][34][35][36], and biomass [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] have advantages and disadvantages. Similarly, Hydropower has pros and cons [44][45][46].…”

Design of Optimal Control of DFIG-based Wind Turbine System through Linear Quadratic Regulator

“…λ is defined by the following expression: [17] (3) Thus, the curve describing the Power coefficient as a function of the Tip sleep ratio by taking a fixed value of pitch angle of the blades β is given by Fig. 2.…”

Determination of the heat capacity of cellulosic biosamples employing diverse machine learning approaches

“…10 Tangang et al declared that the current rising level of GHGs contributes to around 3-5 °C temperature increment of this planet at the end of this century, raising the sea level about 95 cm. 11 In this way, according to the BLUE map scenario of the international energy agency, 12 renewable and sustainable energy sources, including biomass, 13 solar irradiation, 14 wind power, 15 can supply a significant percentage of energy consumption worldwide. 16 Currently, biomass is the world's third source of energy.…”
