This document provides a feasibility study for installing a wind turbine in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. It recommends the Northern Power 60 wind turbine model with a 24.4 meter rotor diameter, 29 meter hub height, and 59.9 kW rated power. The study finds that while the turbine could help Chambersburg reduce carbon emissions and diversify energy production, the estimated 40 year payback period is too long given the turbine's 20 year design life. Therefore, the project does not make financial sense despite other potential benefits like improved public image.

V2G: Measuring Electric Vehicle Drivers’ Willingness to Co-create Flexibility...
Electric vehicle drivers' willingness to provide flexibility to the electric grid was studied through a choice-based conjoint analysis survey of 301 people in Switzerland. The study found that drivers required a flexibility premium of 3.85-45.16 CHF per month to allow different levels of access to their vehicle batteries for grid services. A comparison of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and PV+battery systems showed that flexibility provision came at a higher implicit discomfort cost for heat pumps than electric vehicles or PV systems. While some willingness to provide flexibility was found, further research is needed to understand differences in willingness across technologies and locations.

Comprehensive review on solar, wind and hybrid wind pv water pumping systems-...
In India, the demand for water is continuously increasing due to the growing population. Approximately 16.5% of all country’s electricity used to pump this water is from fossil fuels leading to increased pump Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. With the recent advancement in power electronics and drives, renewables like solar photovoltaic and wind energy are becoming readily available for water pumping applications resulting in the reduction of GHG emissions. Recently, research towards AC motor based Water Pumping Systems (WPS) has received a great emphasis owing to its numerous merits. Further, considering the tremendous acceptance of renewable sources, especially solar and wind, this paper provides a detailed review of single-stage and multi-stage WPS consisting of renewable source powered AC motors. The critical review is performed based on the following figure of merits, including the type of motor, power electronics interface and associated control strategies. Also, to add to the reliability of solar PV WPS, hybrid Wind-PV WPS will be discussed in detail. Readers will be presented with the state-of-the-art technology and research directions in Renewable Energy-based WPS (REWPS) to improve the overall system efficiency and hence reduce the payback period.

This document discusses the economics of tidal stream power as a renewable energy source. It develops a dynamic optimization model to analyze the costs and impacts of integrating tidal and wind power into electricity grids at different penetration rates. Simulation results for the British Columbia system indicate that renewable penetration rates of 30% would increase electricity costs by 73-150% and the cost of reducing CO2 emissions would be $97.47 to $1674.79 per tonne. The high costs are due to inefficiencies from operating thermal plants at less than optimal levels to accommodate the intermittent renewable sources. The impacts depend on the pre-existing generating mix, with results examined for British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.

Micro Wind Turbine paper
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the performance of micro wind turbines installed at an experimental housing development called the EcoSmart Show Village over a 12-month period. Five micro wind turbines of two different models were tested under real-world conditions. Measured outputs were lower than theoretical outputs, likely due to turbulence from the urban environment and inefficiencies in the inverters. Factors like lateral turbulence and inverter consumption need to be considered to accurately assess the potential output of micro turbines in built-up areas.

ABSTRACT | This paper presents a comprehensive study on the
state-of-the-art and emerging wind energy technologies from
the electrical engineering perspective. In an attempt to de-
crease cost of energy, increase the wind energy conversion
efficiency, reliability, power density, and comply with the strin-
gent grid codes, the electric generators and power electronic
converters have emerged in a rigorous manner. From the mar-
ket based survey, the most successful generator-converter
configurations are addressed along with few promising topol-
ogies available in the literature. The back-to-back connected
converters, passive generator-side converters, converters for
multiphase generators, and converters without intermediate
dc-link are investigated for high-power wind energy conver-
sion systems (WECS), and presented in low and medium voltage
category. The onshore and offshore wind farm configurations
are analyzed with respect to the series/parallel connection of
wind turbine ac/dc output terminals, and high voltage ac/dc
transmission. The fault-ride through compliance methods used
in the induction and synchronous generator based WECS are
also discussed. The past, present and future trends in megawatt
WECS are reviewed in terms of mechanical and electrical tech-
nologies, integration to power systems, and control theory. The
important survey results, and technical merits and demerits of
various WECS electrical systems are summarized by tables. The
list of current and future wind turbines are also provided along
with technical details.

Design of maglev wind turbine
This document summarizes an experimental study on a miniature fabricated model of a maglev wind turbine. The study aimed to design and fabricate a model to harness wind energy more efficiently using magnetic levitation. Key aspects included designing the levitation system using neodymium magnets, designing turbine blades and an axial flux generator. Testing showed the maglev turbine started rotating at lower wind speeds than conventional turbines and produced voltages ranging from 5-60V, demonstrating the potential for increased efficiency of maglev wind power generation.
Wind Energy Harvesting
This document discusses wind energy harvesting through a new gearless Blade Tip Power System (BTPS) for wind turbines. The BTPS design places magnets and stators at the blade tips to capture energy directly from the highest speed region. This eliminates the need for a central gearbox and shaft, reducing costs. The BTPS turbine is 6 feet in diameter, produces up to 1,500 kWh per year, and operates in wind speeds as low as 0.5 mph without the noise and vibrations of traditional turbines. In conclusion, wind energy harvesting through innovative turbine designs like the BTPS is a growing renewable and affordable energy source.
