Abstract:Wind forecasting is critical in the wind power industry, yet forecasting errors often exist. In order to effectively correct the forecasting error, this study develops a weather adapted bias correction scheme on the basis of an average bias-correction method, which considers the deviation of estimated biases associated with the difference in weather type within each unit of the statistical sample. This method is tested by an ensemble forecasting system based on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. This system provides high resolution wind speed deterministic forecasts using 40 members generated by initial perturbations and multi-physical schemes. The forecasting system outputs 28-52 h predictions with a temporal resolution of 15 min, and is evaluated against collocated anemometer towers observations at six wind fields located on the east coast of China. Results show that the information contained in weather types produces an improvement in the forecast bias correction.

“…As a kind of clean energy, wind power is receiving increasing attention and application in the world, under the recent concern about energy crisis and global warming issues [1,2]. However, a wind field's output power strongly depends on local real-time wind speed and is thus uncontrollable.…”

“…While energy conservation and management through improvements on energy efficiency across all sectors including residential, industrial, commercial and transportation is needed, renewable energy (RE) is regarded as vital for a sustainable energy future. Prominent RE resources include solar power, wind power, hydropower, biomass, geothermal power and wave and tidal power [5]. There are many advantages of using RE sources.…”

Abstract.The present global energy scenario, in which fossil fuels play a preponderant role, faces significant energy and environmental challenges. To help address these challenges, countries across the world are increasing the contribution made by renewable energy (RE) resources to their energy supplies. Feed-in Tariff (FiT) is one of the most effective incentive policies used to promote the RE sector especially at the micro-generation level. The key objective of the FiT schemes is to provide financial support to residential, industrial and commercial consumers to encourage them to become RE producers. Solar photovoltaic (PV) is one of the most promising RE technologies. This paper provides an overview of the solar PV developments in the Association of South East Asian Nation (ASEAN) countries. It reflects upon the RE trends in the world as well as providing an introduction to the ASEAN countries. It reviews the progress of solar PV in each of the ASEAN countries especially in terms of RE policies, growth in terms of PV installations and research and development activities. Finally, the paper presents conclusions and a set of recommendations. Out of the 10 ASEAN countries, 5 have implemented FiT as a key policy incentive to stimulate the progress of RE. It is found that the ASEAN countries have great potential for solar PV in term of their annual solar insolation levels, which ranging from 1,460 to 1,892 kWh/m 2 per year.

-This article deals with sizing of hybrid renewable sources applications that are suitable in remote areas where grid connection is unavailable or connection to grid is expensive. Depending on the size of installed capacity of each photovoltaic, wind power and small water power plant, such a system can be used to power small systems with hundreds watts consumption and also can be used to supply entire villages where the connected load has a power in the order of up to megawatts. All depends on the installed performance of different sources, types and sizes of the storage device and the equipment, to be an island power system. Such hybrid renewable sources systems are strongly dependent on the weather conditions of the site of their construction. The present paper is about a small grid-off system that powers a small single house. This house is modelled as family house with a two-membered family. The system consists of a photovoltaic cell field, a wind turbine, a small hydroelectric power plant, and a battery bank as a cumulating source. This system is designed to power a whole daily consumption load without electricity outages.Keywords -Grid-off systems, hybrid renewable source, photovoltaic, small hydroelectric power plant, wind turbine.
