The optimum mix of electricity from wind- and solar-sources in conventional power systems: Evaluating the case for New York State

Nikolakakis, Thomas; Fthenakis, Vasilis - In: Energy Policy 39 (2011) 11, pp. 6972-6980

Several countries and states have set targets for substantially increasing renewable energy (RE) contributions in their electricity grids. As the potential for additional hydro-electricity is limited in the US most future RE penetration is envisioned to be in the form of wind and solar. Our...

Integration of a wave energy converter into the electricity supply of a remote Alaskan island

Beatty, Scott J.; Wild, Peter; Buckham, Bradley J. - In: Renewable Energy 35 (2010) 6, pp. 1203-1213

The electrical power integration of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter to a remote island community of population 100 is investigated. A wave resource assessment, taking into account the local geography, is completed. The operational concept and specifications of the wave energy...

Planning of the grid integration of wind energy in Germany onshore and offshore up to the year 2020

Bartels, Michael; Gatzen, Christoph; Peek, Markus; … - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 25 (2006) 3/4, pp. 257-275

The ongoing penetration of large amounts of wind power capacities in Germany has strong impacts on the necessary promotion volumes (direct costs of Renewable Energy Source (RES) promotion) but also on necessary grid extensions, the future need for regulating and reserve power capacities, the...

The interaction of wind power generation with electricity demand in the context of a small grid

Fsadni, M.; Mallia, E.A. - In: Renewable Energy 31 (2006) 6, pp. 811-819

An investigation into the integration of the intermittent electricity output of a hypothetical wind farm in Malta with the actual electricity demand for one particular year is reported. Available hourly wind data from three sites for 2001 were analysed. The probability density of the load...

Intermittency of wind: the wider picture

Gul, Timur; Stenzel, Till - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 25 (2006) 3/4, pp. 163-186

This paper puts the discussion on intermittency of wind into its wider context: in the first part, it reviews the natural variability of all resources that power renewable energy technologies. This highlights how intermittency of wind influences the degree of variability relative to other...

Regional electricity price differences due to intermittent wind power in Germany: impact of extended transmission and storage capacities

Barth, Rudiger; Brand, Heike; Swider, Derk Jan; Weber, … - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 25 (2006) 3/4, pp. 276-297

A fast growth of installed wind power capacity has been experienced in several European countries. In Germany, notably high wind power capacities are planned in the North. If the existing transmission capacities between individual regions become insufficient, the electricity prices will differ...
