The variability of wind power will be an increasing challenge for the power system as wind penetration grows and thus needs to be studied. In this paper a model for generation of hourly aggregated wind power time series is described and evaluated. The model is based on MERRA reanalysis data and...

In 2003, the residential sector of Uzbekistan has consumed about 15.073Mtoe (million ton of oil equivalent) of energy or 27.3% of the total energy consumed in the country. This value is approximately twice as much as that of residential sector of Turkey and Romania. The climate of above...

This paper focuses on assessing the effectiveness of wind control methods used to address the economic issues associated with higher penetration of variable (wind) generation. Two different wind control methods were implemented, namely maximum power limitation and delta control. Production...

The aim of this study is to calculate HDD and CDD numbers for various base temperatures by using daily maximum and minimum temperature data for the long-term (21 years), measured at meteorological stations in 79 city centers of Turkey, and to draw maps of these numerical data. Five different...

This paper estimates single factor stochastic models describing daily air temperature behaviour. We modify classical financial models to reflect temperature seasonality and fit them to a time series representing temperatures in Spain. The estimated models are used in Montecarlo simulations to...

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is a fast growing megacity with a population of 12.8 million. Due to its tropical location, dense urban morphology and higher than average density of population, buildings in Dhaka are likely to be adversely affected by the projected changes in climate, in...

This paper describes the analysis of near-surface wind speeds in Western Oklahoma. The goals of this research are to characterise the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) in the region, and to assess the impact wind variability, vertical shear and the LLJ on wind energy calculations. Results show the...

An energy-efficient train trajectory corresponds to the speed profile of a train between two stations that minimizes energy consumption while respecting the scheduled arrival time and operational constraints such as speed limits. Determining this trajectory is a well-known problem in the...

With the “Internet +” era of arrival, the major colleges and universities are in the construction of the wisdom of the campus, students and teachers living with the campus network is more and more closely related, Campus network security has become the protection of the wisdom of the campus...
