The increase electricity production based on renewable energies sources responds to the requirements of sustainable development. In recent years, the investment in the wind energy sector has increased to satisfy green electricity generation and environment protection. Wind energy is currently the most competitive energy resource that is part of the world’s countries views on the…

In grid connected wind turbine (WT) systems, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach has a crucial role in optimizing the wind energy efficiency. To search for the maximum power value of the wind turbine, this contribution proposes a new Maximum Power Point Tracking System (MPPT) for wind turbine related to a permanent magnet synchronous…

Currently, increasing penetration of the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECs) in Power generation systems has influenced the supply of electrical power reliability for the consumer in comparison with other traditional sources. In this paper, the performance and efficiency of a new optimization approach referred to as the “Differential Evolution Optimization Algorithm” (DEOA) to measure the…

Wind energy is emerged rapidly as the most important and viable sustainable power source due to the mature technology and wide availability. The integration of wind energy sources and utilization of nonlinear loads having different characteristics results in several challenges in a distribution system. One of which is power quality issue .Hence, in this work,…

This paper is an extension of research work originally presented in 2018 IEEE fifth International Congress on Information Science and Technology (CiSt). The research consists on developing method to diagnose electrical defects affecting wind turbine doubly-fed induction generator DFIG which constitutes a crucial part of wind energy conversion chain. First off all, we create a…

There is no doubt that the wind was the renewable source of energy that had the most significant growth during the last five years, and more importantly, the wind power source in Brazil has always been the cheapest and most competitive of all the others, so it is worth saying that wind have never been…

The pitch angle controller maintains the aerodynamic captured power at rated level when the wind speed is above the rated speed. Besides, it can also improve the transient stability occurring in the wind energy system (WES). This paper, therefore, proposes an effective pitch angle control strategy that can deliver the conditioned output power in windy…

There is no doubt that energy is one of the most important requirements of life, and its importance increases with the passage of time, and this is what make countries to harness the capabilities and scientists in developing energy systems of all kinds, one of the most important energy systems these days is what is…

South Africa is aiming to achieve a generation capacity of about 11.4GW through wind energy systems, which will contribute nearly 15.1% of the country’s energy mix by 2030. Wind energy is one of the principal renewable energy determinations by the South African government, owing to affluent heavy winds in vast and remote coastal areas. In…

Sizing optimization should be used to design an efficient, sustainable, and feasible hybrid system. In this paper, a hybrid power plant consisting of an off-grid photovoltaic and wind energy system was planned to supply the demand of residential houses in Libya. To minimize installation and operational costs by sizing each part of the hybrid system,…

Since environmental requirements penetrate engineering processes to keep global warming and to reduce pollutant emissions, the system operation should be designed based on environmentally approach friendly. Operationally, the system processes are supported by energy suppliers to meet continuously energy transaction while clean and green energies are also targeted to keep the environmental conditions. In other…

In the recent times power shortage has been a major setback to deal for the effective operation of power systems. Bridging the gap between generation and demand is known as Demand Side Management (DSM). For an effective DSM strategy to be implemented, it is crucial that both utility and customers be involved. By DSM, the…
