Abstract:Association of wind power producing units, microhydro power plants and energy storage systems can ensure the stability of an islanded week power grid or can increase the penetration of these renewable energy sources into the large power networks. Experimental results presented in the paper demonstrate the effectiveness of this association. The microhydro power plant consists of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) linked mechanically and electrically (through back-to-back power electronic converters in the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
