  1. 1. Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California

    University essay from KTH/Industriell Marknadsföring och Entreprenörskap

    Author : Pieter-Jan Vandenbrande; [2017]
    Keywords : Floating wind turbines; California; PESTEL analysis; market challenges and opportunities;

    Abstract : The offshore wind energy industry is a rapidly growing industry as solutions are becoming cost-competitive and there is an increasing need to limit greenhouse gas emissions. New floating offshore wind turbine designs now enable the access to previously inaccessible offshore wind resources. READ MORE

  3. 2. State-of-the-art development platform for hydropower turbine governors

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Joakim Näsström; [2017]
    Keywords : Development platform; Frequency control; Hardware-in-the-loop simulations; Hydropower; IEC 61850; MATLAB; PLC; Power station control; Simulink; Turbine governor;

    Abstract : Hydropower is a flexible energy source that is essential for balancing the electrical power system on all timescales, from seconds to years. In addition to intra-hour regulation, it provides frequency containment reserves (FCR-N,FCR-D) and frequency restoration reserves (mFRR, aFRR) to the grid. READ MORE

  4. 3. Frequency Control : Optimal distribution of FCR-N in real-time

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Linda Ekmarker; [2014]
    Keywords : Frequency control; FCR-N; Hydropower; Optimisation; Turbine governor;

    Abstract : Frequency control systems are used to keep the grid frequency at the nominal value of 50.00 Hz. Vattenfall employ hydropower plants for this purpose as they can easily adapt their production to counteract frequency deviations. READ MORE

  5. 4. ELECTRICAL MODELING OF A THERMAL POWER STATION

    University essay from KTH/Elektriska energisystem

    Author : Reinhard Kaisinger; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Physical systems are becoming more heterogeneous. Different engineering domainsare interacting more and more. Therefore, it is desirable to have modeling tools that allow multi-domain modeling. In thermal power plants, three engineering domains are of particular relevance: a) thermodynamics, b) mechanics and c) electrical engineering. READ MORE
