Wind energy potential estimation and micrositting on Izmir Institute of Technology Campus, Turkey

The aim of this study was to predict the wind energy content over the campus area of Izmir Institute of Technology. The wind data were collected at 10 and 30 m mast heights for a period of 16 months. Mean wind speeds were 7.03 and 8.14 m/s at 10 and 30 m mast heights, respectively. The ‘WAsP’ and ‘WindPRO’ softwares were used for the wind statistics and energy calculations. Suitable sites were selected according to the created wind power and energy maps. Wind turbines with nominal powers between 600 and 1500 kW were established for annual energy production calculations and best fitted ones were used for the micrositting.     

A pragmatic approach to wind farm simulations using the dynamic wake meandering model

This paper presents a computationally efficient method for using the dynamic wake meandering model to conduct simulations of wind farm power production. The method is based on creating a database, which contains the time and rotor‐averaged wake effect at any point downstream of a wake‐emitting turbine operating in arbitrary ambient conditions and at an arbitrary degree of wake influence. This database is later used as a look‐up table at runtime to estimate the operating conditions at all turbines in the wind farm, thus eliminating the need to run the dynamic wake meandering model at runtime. By using the proposed method, the time required to conduct wind farm simulations is reduced by three orders of magnitude compared with running the standalone dynamic wake meandering model at runtime. As a result, the wind farm production dynamics for a farm of 100 turbines at 10,000 different sets of ambient conditions run on a normal laptop in 1 h. The method is validated against full scale measurements from the Smøla and OWEZ wind farms, and fair agreement is achieved. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Approximate Model-Free Assessment of Oscillation Stability Determined by the PLLs in a Weakly Grid-Connected Wind Farm with Multiple PMSGs

Abstract

The study investigates the oscillation stability determined by phase locked loops (PLLs) in a weakly grid-connected wind farm with multiple permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs). To this end, an equivalent model of the wind farm is derived. Based on the derived equivalent model, the oscillation stability of the wind farm as determined by the dynamics of the PLLs is analytically examined. This paper explains why the PLLs equipped by the PMSGs in the wind farm can lead to instability risk under the condition of weak grid connection. A simple index is proposed to approximately assess instability risk of the wind farm due to the PLLs. The parametric model of the wind farm with the PMSGs is not necessary to calculate the proposed simple index. Hence, it is model-free and applicable in practice when it is difficult to establish the parametric model. An example of a grid-connected wind farm with 12 PMSGs is presented to evaluate and demonstrate the analysis conducted and the simple index proposed in the paper.     

Genetic evaluation of test-day milk yields from smallholder dairy production systems in Kenya using genomic relationships

Efforts to improve dairy production in smallholder farming systems of East Africa over the past decade have had limited impact because of the lack of records on performance to guide targeted breeding programs. Estimates of genetic parameters in these systems are lacking. Using data generated through a project (“Germplasm for Dairy Development in East Africa”) in Kenya and a genomic relationship matrix from genotypic records, we examined the potential impact of different models handling contemporary groups or herd effects on estimates of genetic parameters using a fixed regression model (FRM) for test-day (TD) milk yields, and the covariance structure for TD milk yield at various stages of lactation for animals using a random regression model (RRM). Models in which herd groups were defined using production levels derived from the data fitted the data better than those in which herds were grouped depending on management practices or were random. Lactation curves obtained for animals under different production categories did not display the typical peak yield characteristic of improved dairy systems in developed countries. Heritability estimates for TD milk yields using the FRM varied greatly with the definition of contemporary herd groups, ranging from 0.05 ± 0.03 to 0.27 ± 0.05 (mean ± standard error). The analysis using the RRM fitted the data better than the FRM. The heritability estimates for specific TD yields obtained by the RRM were higher than those obtained by the FRM. Genetic correlations between TD yields were high and positive for measures within short consecutive intervals but decreased as the intervals between TD increased beyond 60 d and became negative with intervals of more than 5 mo. The magnitude of the genetic correlation estimates among TD records indicates that using TD milk records beyond a 60-d interval as repeated measures of the same trait for genetic evaluation of animals on smallholder farms would not be optimal. Although each individual smallholder farmer retains only a few animals, using the genomic relationship between animals to link the large number of farmers operating under specified environments provides a sufficiently large herd-group for which a breeding program could be developed.

双馈感应式风力发电系统低电压运行特性研究

双馈感应发电机（DFIG）具有有功、无功功率独立调节能力及励磁变频器所需容量小等优点,在风力发电系统中得到越来越广泛的应用。但正是励磁变频器的过流能力限制使得其对电网故障非常敏感,电网故障下DFIG风电机组的控制能力受到限制。当前国外大多数风电并网标准都要求风力发电机在电网电压跌落的情况下不能从电网中解列,以便在故障后电网恢复过程中提供功率支持,避免发生后续更为严重的电网故障,这即是对风电机组低电压穿越能力的要求。为了保护变流器和对电网提供支撑,需要研制一种能够在电网故障发生时为故障电流进行旁路的设备——Crowbar电路。针对Crowbar的电流旁路装置进行了研究,说明Crowbar电路具有抑制转子浪涌电流和保护直流母线的作用,并在小功率平台上进行了试验,证明了这种设备对于提高DFIG系统的LVRT能力具有重要的作用。
