Wind energy is a renewable resource, which means that future supply will not be affected by current use. The rising concerns about global warming, pollution, and depletion of natural resources makes wind a viable and logical source of energy for the near and distant future. There are many advantages to wind energy; it is a sustainable energy source that is non-polluting. With a 30 percent annual increase, wind is the world’s fastest-growing bulk power electricity source. Montana has a bright future

DIRECT POWER CONTROL OF DFIG IN A WIND TURBINE TO IMPROVE DYNAMIC RESPONSE Objective________________________________________ This paper presents a direct power control (DPC) strategy for a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy generation system. The strategy is based on the direct control of stator active and reactive power by selecting appropriate voltage vectors on the rotor side. The proposed direct power control (DPC) method produces a fast and robust power response without

it. Wind turbines can be mounted on the body structure of the vehicle to generate electricity in such a way that it must not create any additional drag force (rather than the existing drag force due to frontal area and skin friction) upon the vehicle. An elaborate aerodynamic analysis of the structure of the vehicle along with the flow pattern and wind turbine is presented in the paper. Some techniques and methods are proposed to minimize the drag imposed by the introduction of the turbines as much

University in West Des Moines. As an employee that cares about XXX & XX, its impact on the environment and on the community, I have decided to research the effect of a wind turbine on energy savings to the company. The ability to communicate more professionally will assist me in presenting my research of the wind turbine and its benefits to KG. I am part of the Green Task Force committee here and plan to present it to them. It will also be a benefit to me in presenting it as a sustainability

1 A Study of the Parameters Influencing the Capacity Credit of WECS- A Simplified Approach Sushil Patil, Student Member, IEEE, and R. Ramakumar, Life Fellow, IEEE Abstract--In recent years, penetration of wind generated electricity into power grids has been increasing significantly. During the last few decades, wind energy has doubled in capacity every three years. Because of the intermittent characteristics of wind power, it is usually difficult to determine an acceptable penetration level

modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water, and vegetative cover. This wind flow, or motion energy, when "harvested" by modern wind turbines, can be used to generate electricity. How Wind Power Is Generated The terms "wind energy" or "wind power" describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain

batteries, grind grain, etc. (Deshmukh 3). Turbines can be used alone or on a wind farm and can also be connected to a utility power grid to sell electricity back to the power company. According to the literature, wind technologies are most useful in the Midwest and along the coast. Pros and Cons Although wind turbines can kill birds and be damaged in severe storms (Deshmukh 11), wind turbines can provide many advantages. For example, wind turbines can harness the power of the wind, producing
