This paper considers the problem of power regulation for a variable speed wind turbine in the presence of a blade tip speed constraint, for example to limit noise emissions. The main contribution of the paper is the formulation of a policy for the regulation of the machine in the transition...

This paper develops and compares specification tests for parametric duration models estimated with censored data. The tests are based on generalized residuals (the integrated hazard), which is exponentially distributed if the model is correctly specified. I present several conditional moment...

One critical task in any wind power interconnection study involves the modelling of wind turbines. This paper provides the most basic yet comprehensive time–domain wind turbine model upon which more sophisticated models along with their power and speed control mechanisms, can be developed. For...

Due to the widespread aquaculture at coastal area in Taiwan and high wind power potential in the sites, it is worthy to carry out the technical potential assessments of small-scale wind power system used for aquaculture in Taiwan. The present work analyzed wind power potential, described the...

A data-driven approach to the performance analysis of wind turbines is presented. Turbine performance is captured with a power curve. The power curves are constructed using historical wind turbine data. Three power curve models are developed, one by the least squares method and the other by the...

Accurate modelling is crucial in designing an optimum system. Wind speed distribution of selected site, hub height and power output curve of chosen wind turbine, are the main factors which influence the performance of wind turbines, and therefore, these must be properly accounted for during...

The paper provides an analysis of small wind turbines with less than 10 kW of installed power. Power curves are compared and analyzed for a number of different wind turbines. Furthermore, the possible electricity production is assessed for all of them with their different power curves, same...

This paper develops and compares specification tests for parametric duration models estimated with censored data. The tests are based on generalized residuals (the integrated hazard), which is exponentially distributed if the model is correctly specified. I present several conditional moment...

This letter evaluates the performance of auxiliary regression-based specification tests for parametric duration models estimated with censored data. The test using asymptotic critical values has poor size. Bootstrapping corrects the size problem but results in a biased power curve.
