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.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

39. Power Coefficient - It's an Efficiency
I would like to call it (and some people do) overall turbine system efficiency. The
wind power industry often calls it the Power Coefficient, and gives it the
symbol Cp.
The technical and product literature is now full of it (the term Cp I mean), so
Power Coefficient it shall be for the rest of this page.
Power Coefficient - An Indicator of Total Wind Turbine System Efficiency
The term Power Coefficient is commonly used to designate the efficiency of the
entire turbine power system. As shown in the expression below, it is generally
defined as the ratio of the "electrical power produced by the wind turbine" (Pout in
the formula below) divided by the "wind power into the turbine" (Pin). Pin is
sometimes also called "available wind power". But I don't really like that
expression because the total power in the wind is never really totally "available".
40. The tip-speed ratio, X, or TSR for wind turbines is the ratio
between the tangential speed of the tip of a blade and the
actual speed of the
53. Attempts to develop and refine OTEC technology started in the 1880s. In
1881, Jacques Arsene d'Arsonval, a French physicist, proposed tapping the
thermal energy of the ocean
54. In 1935, Claude constructed a plant aboard a 10,000-ton cargo vessel moored
off the coast of Brazil. Weather and waves destroyed it before it could
generate net power.[5] (Net power is the amount of power generated after
subtracting power needed to run the system).
In 1956, French scientists designed a 3 MW plant for Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The
plant was never completed, because new finds of large amounts of cheap
petroleum made it uneconomical.[5]
In 1962, J. Hilbert Anderson and James H. Anderson, Jr. focused on increasing
component efficiency. They patented their new "closed cycle" design in
1967.[7] This design improved upon the original closed-cycle Rankine system,
and included this in an outline for a plant that would produce power at lower cost
than oil or coal. At the time, however, their research garnered little attention since
coal and nuclear were considered the future of energy.[6]
Japan is a major contributor to the development of OTEC
technology.[8] Beginning in 1970 the Tokyo Electric Power Company successfully
built and deployed a 100 kW closed-cycle OTEC plant on the island
of Nauru.[8] The plant became operational on 14 October 1981, producing about
120 kW of electricity;
55. Currently operating OTEC plants[edit]
In March 2013, Saga University with various Japanese industries
completed the installation of a new OTEC plant. Okinawa Prefecture announced
the start of the OTEC operation testing at Kume Island on April 15, 2013. The
main aim is to prove the validity of computer models and demonstrate OTEC to
the public. The testing and research will be conducted with the support of Saga
University until the end of FY 2016. IHI Plant Construction Co. Ltd, Yokogawa
Electric Corporation, and Xenesys Inc were entrusted with constructing the 100
kilowatt class plant within the grounds of the Okinawa Prefecture Deep Sea
Water Research Center. The location was specifically chosen in order to utilize
existing deep seawater and surface seawater intake pipes installed for the
research center in 2000. The pipe is used for the intake of deep sea water for
research, fishery, and agricultural use.[19] The plant consists of two 50 kW units
in double Rankine configuration.[30] The OTEC facility and deep seawater
research center are open to free public tours by appointment in English and
Japanese.[31] Currently, this is one of only two fully operational OTEC plants in
the world. This plant operates continuously when specific tests are not
underway.
56. In 2011, Makai Ocean Engineering completed a heat exchanger test facility at
NELHA. Used to test a variety of heat exchange technologies for use in OTEC,
Makai has received funding to install a 105 kW turbine.[32] Installation will make
this facility the largest operational OTEC facility, though the record for largest
power will remain with the Open Cycle plant also developed in Hawaii.
In July 2014, DCNS group partnered with Akuo Energy announced NER 300
funding for their NEMO project. If successful, the 16MW gross 10MW net offshore
plant will be the largest OTEC facility to date. DCNS plans to have NEMO
operational by 2020.[33]
An ocean thermal energy conversion power plant built by Makai Ocean
Engineering went operational in Hawaii in August 2015 . The governor of
Hawaii, David Ige, "flipped the switch" to activate the plant. This is the first true
closed-cycle ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant to be connected to
a U.S. electrical grid . It is a demo plant capable of generating 105 kilowatts,
enough to power about 120 homes.[34]
57. The world's biggest operational OTEC plant has an annual
power generation capacity of 100kW, which is sufficient to
power 120 homes in Hawaii. Image: courtesy of Makai Ocean
Engineering. The OTEC plant is located within the Natural

Kona.

120. THE PROMISE OF FUEL CELLS
“A score of nonutility companies are well advanced
toward developing a powerful chemical fuel cell,
which could sit in some hidden closet of every
home silently ticking off electric power.”
Theodore Levitt, “Marketing Myopia,” Harvard
Business Review, 1960

122. PARTS OF A FUEL CELL Anode
Negative post of the fuel cell.
Conducts the electrons that are freed from the hydrogen molecules so that
they can be used in an external circuit.
Etched channels disperse hydrogen gas over the surface of catalyst.
Cathode
Positive post of the fuel cell
Etched channels distribute oxygen to the surface of the catalyst.
Conducts electrons back from the external circuit to the catalyst
Recombine with the hydrogen ions and oxygen to form water.
Electrolyte
Proton exchange membrane.
Specially treated material, only conducts positively charged ions.
Membrane blocks electrons.
Catalyst
Special material that facilitates reaction of oxygen and hydrogen
Usually platinum powder very thinly coated onto carbon paper or cloth.
Rough & porous maximizes surface area exposed to hydrogen or oxygen
The platinum-coated side of the catalyst faces the PEM.
123. FUEL CELL OPERATION
Pressurized hydrogen gas (H2) enters cell on anode
side.
Gas is forced through catalyst by pressure.
When H2 molecule comes contacts platinum catalyst, it splits
into two H+ ions and two electrons (e-).
Electrons are conducted through the anode
Make their way through the external circuit (doing useful work
such as turning a motor) and return to the cathode side of the
fuel cell.
On the cathode side, oxygen gas (O2) is forced through
the catalyst
Forms two oxygen atoms, each with a strong negative
charge.
Negative charge attracts the two H+ ions through the
membrane,
Combine with an oxygen atom and two electrons from the
external circuit to form a water molecule (H2O).

129. OTHER TYPES OF FUEL CELLS
Alkaline fuel cell (AFC)
This is one of the oldest designs. It has been used in the U.S. space program
since the 1960s. The AFC is very susceptible to contamination, so it requires
pure hydrogen and oxygen. It is also very expensive, so this type of fuel cell is
unlikely to be commercialized.
Phosphoric-acid fuel cell (PAFC)
The phosphoric-acid fuel cell has potential for use in small stationary power-
generation systems. It operates at a higher temperature than PEM fuel cells, so
it has a longer warm-up time. This makes it unsuitable for use in cars.
Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)
These fuel cells are best suited for large-scale stationary power generators that
could provide electricity for factories or towns. This type of fuel cell operates at
very high temperatures (around 1,832 F, 1,000 C). This high temperature
makes reliability a problem, but it also has an advantage: The steam produced
by the fuel cell can be channeled into turbines to generate more electricity. This
improves the overall efficiency of the system.
Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC)
These fuel cells are also best suited for large stationary power generators. They
operate at 1,112 F (600 C), so they also generate steam that can be used to
generate more power. They have a lower operating temperature than the
SOFC, which means they don't need such exotic materials. This makes the
design a little less expensive.
