Due to intermittent behavior of generated wind power, capacity factor of installed transmission lines decreases, which in return increases the payback time and also limits the grid penetration of the wind power plant. One option to compensate this is by using fossil fuel back up, but it is not a sustainable option due to the increased greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil fuels. Another option is to couple a concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant, provided there are ample solar resources available. Additionally, in order to increase the capacity of the combined power plant, storage can be added to the CSP plant. In this paper, detailed modeling of solar resources at Bahce Wind Farm located in the Bahce district of Osmaniye province has been performed and a 50MW CSP plant to hybridize with wind plant has been proposed. Based on the simulation results, it is found that average capacity factor of connected transmission lines can increase by similar to 34%, with approximately 11 % of energy dumped under extreme circumstance.

Investigation of inertial support limits in wind turbines and the effects on the power system stability Duymaz, Erencan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this study, the inertial support implementation is studied for variable speed wind turbines with a full-scale power electronics. To increase the active power as desired, Machine Side Converter is modified with an additional control loop. In the first part of the thesis, active power of the wind turbine is increased to the limits and the maximum achievable active power is found out to be restricted by the wind speed. It is found that the wind turbine can increase its output power by 40% of rated power in ...
Improved Wind Power Forecasting Using Combination Methods KOKSOY, Ceyda Er; OZKAN, Mehmet Baris; BUHAN, Serkan; DEMIRCI, Turan; Arslan, Yusuf; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Karagöz, Pınar (2015-12-11) Integration of the wind power into the existing transmission grid is an important issue due to discontinuous and volatile behavior of wind. Moreover, the power plant owners need reliable information about day-ahead power production for market operations. Therefore, wind power forecasting approaches have been gaining importance in renewable energy research area. The Wind Power Monitoring and Forecast System for Turkey (RITM) currently monitors a growing number of wind power plants in Turkey, and uses wind po...
Future Electrical Generator Technologies for Offshore Wind Turbines Keysan, Ozan (2015-01-01) In this article, different electric generator topologies for offshore wind turbines will be reviewed. Although, the most common generator type used in the onshore wind turbines is the doubly-fed induction generator, different generator designs are proposed for large offshore wind turbines, which operate in harsher conditions and are difficult to maintain. Some of these designs are direct-drive permanent magnet generators, hydraulic power take-off systems and superconducting generators.
OPTIMAL CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR SPEED GOVERNORS OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT Altinoz, Okkes Tolga; KOŞALAY, İLHAN; Gezer, Derya (VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, 2020-06-01) Speed governors have critical importance on hydroelectric power plants, which are adjusted to the rotating speed of hydroelectric generation based on load demand of the grid. The rotating speed is the main factor to balance power generation and load demand. The well-designed controller is needed to control speed governors with high accuracy. A well-defined model is needed to obtain desired control structure. Therefore, in this study, initially, the mathematical model of a hydroelectric power plant is obtain...
Improved wind power forecasting using combination methods Köksoy, Ceyda Er; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) Wind is an important renewable energy source to produce electricity thanks to its reliable, omnipresent and economically feasible characteristics and it has a growing proportion in overall energy production worldwide. However, integration of the generated wind power into the existing transmission grid is an issue due to inherently volatile and intermittent behavior of wind. Moreover, the power plant owners need reliable information about day-ahead power production for market operations. Therefore, wind powe...
