- Design of Robust Converter Interface for Wind Power Applications
- In this paper, the design of a robust converter interface for wind turbines is investigated. Based on the classification of unbalanced faults that can occur in the grid, resulting in voltage dips at the bus where the turbine is connected, the maximum current that the converter valves must be able...

- Offshore Wind Energy and Noise Monitoring
- The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the proper operation of the bird collision registration system that has been developed by ECN. The system must be relatively inexpensive, robust and applicable for offshore conditions. The system identifies bird impacts by noise measurements and a camera identifies the specific species....

- Using Wind Energy: Small-Scale Systems
- As the government-funded electrical grid spread to rural areas, farmers became as dependent as town dwellers on the more reliable electricity from fossil-fueled generation plants. Wind-generated electricity seemed to be outdated. However, today, relying on fossil fuels for electrical generation is being seriously challenged. This fact-sheet shows how wind turbines...

- Case Study - Fuji Electric - Wind Power Application
- Fuji Electric has been examining ways in which its wind generators can be a viable source of power on remote island sites with weak grid links. Of key importance is the resolution of power supply variation, and increasing wind penetration. Initially Fuji Electric successfully tested a 1 X 100 kW...

- "Analysis of Dynamic Behavior of Electric Power Systems With Large Amount of Wind Power"
- In this paper four basic wind turbine concepts are treated with respect to modeling in dynamic simulation tools, maintaining of transient voltage stability and uninterrupted operation when the transmission power network is subjected to a three-phased short-circuit fault. The work deals with two issues: the modeling part with focus on...

- IMIS: Integrated Marine Installation System for Offshore Turbines
- This paper has been carried out on the Integrated Marine Installation System IMIS for offshore wind turbines. Wind power generation has become an established energy resource onshore. Offshore there are stronger, more consistent wind patterns and fewer public interface problems. However, there is a harsher, more dangerous environment where construction...

- Integrating Large Amounts of Wind Energy With a Small Electric-Power System
- The cost of building and operating wind farms continues to decline. And governments increasingly encourage development of renewable energy resources. As a consequence, the amount of wind capacity is growing, raising important questions about the integration of wind output with electric-power systems. These questions have physical especially reliability and economic...
