Assessment of Power Swings in Hydropower Plants Through High-Order Modeling and Eigenanalysis

Christophe Nicolet, Basile Kawkabani, Pedro Camilo de Oliveira e Silva

POWER plants are subject to introduce disturbances in the power grid, resulting from interactions with the dynamical behavior of the energy source subsystem. In the case of hydropower plants when used to compensate for variations of power generation and co ...

’Hydro-peaking mitigation measures: Performance of a complex compensation basin considering future system extensions

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso

Many Alpine rivers are affected by hydro-peaking, strong sub-daily fluctuations of discharge caused by intermittent power production from hydropower plants. Adding a retention volume at the outlet of a hydropower plant aims at attenuating hydro-peaking to ...

Advanced Control of Active Distribution Networks Integrating Dispersed Energy Storage Systems

Maryam Bahramipanah

Due to the increased penetration of Distributed Generations (DGs) in distribution networks, the system control and operation may become quite different from the case of traditional network. Most DGs can only provide intermittent power to the Active Distrib ...

Evaluation of Storage Energy Requirements for Constant Production in PV Power Plants

This paper analyzes the minimum energy capacity ratings that an energy-storage (ES) system should accomplish in order to achieve a defined constant power production in a photovoltaic (PV) power plant. ES is a key issue for the further integration of interm ...

Sustainable energy systems, a process system engineering perspective

François Maréchal

According to the International Energy Agency, CO2 emissions have to be cut by a factor 2 if one wants to mitigate the effect on the climate change to an acceptable limit. To reach this target, efficient use and conversion of energy resources is expected to ...
