Wind speed data are usually the main input of wave hindcasting, and wind power density studies. There are several institutions such as ECMWF that provides wind speed data in addition to various other climatologic parameters. However, these institutions provide wind data with different temporal intervals (24 hours - 6 hours - 1 hour) where high temporal resolution wind speed data are generally required. One solution to generate wind data at high sampling frequencies is to use statistical downscaling to interpolate available data to finer sampling interval data. There is limited study concerning the performances of these interpolation techniques in the scope of wind speed data on the overall effect on wave hindcasting and wind power density studies. In this study, performance of seven fundamental interpolation techniques is discussed focusing on both the long term data and the extreme storm events in the Black Sea. Study dataset is taken as hourly NCEP CFSR wind speed dataset between 1979 and 2010 at 522 points over the Black Sea. Extreme events are selected for each year at each of the study points. Performance of the interpolation techniques is assessed comparing the original and temporally downscaled wind speed data for both long term and extreme event cases, based on a penalty point system consisting of several statistical parameters. Wave hindcasting studies are performed using WAVEWATCH III for several selected extreme events. Furthermore, wind power density calculations are performed using the long term wind speed data. The effect of interpolation technique on wave hindcasting and wind power density studies are discussed by comparing the results obtained from original and temporally downscaled datasets. The importance of this study lies in that it would quantify the error originated from interpolation technique in terms of both wind speeds, wave properties, wind power density calculations in the Black Sea. Thus, it would be possible to improve the quality of wind speed data, and the error originated from interpolation technique in wave hindcasting and wind power density studies would be reduced.

Effects of Wind Turbines on Voltage Profile Abedinzadeh, Taher; Ehsan, Mehdi; Afsharirad, Hadi; Nazaraliloo, Mohammad (2011-09-10) For distribution grids connected wind power generation, voltage quality is an important issue for the system planning purpose. The operation of wind turbines in the distribution networks may affect the voltage quality offered to the consumers. One of the most important considerations is the effect on the voltage profile, i.e. the induced slow voltage variations, which are the subject of this paper.
Effect of changing biomass source on radiative heat transfer during co-firing of high-sulfur content lignite in fluidized bed combustors Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-01-05) In this study, effect of changing biomass source on radiative heat transfer during co-firing of high-sulfur content lignite in the freeboard of 300 kW(t) Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) is investigated by using an in-house developed radiation code based on Method of Lines (MOL) solution of Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM). The freeboard is treated as a 3D rectangular enclosure containing gray, absorbing, emitting gas with absorbing, emitting, anisotropically scattering particles surround...
Effects of precipitation recharge and artificial discharge on salt water-fresh water interface movement in selçuk sub-basin: climatic indications Aykanat, Gökben; Çamur, Mehmet Zeki; Department of Geological Engineering (2011) Fluctuations in temperature and precipitation amounts due to climate change influence recharge rate of groundwater. Any variations in the amount of precipitation recharge and artificial discharge directly affect groundwater level and so the salt water intrusion rate in the aquifers, which are in contact with sea water. The purpose of this study is to determine the overall historical precipitation recharge trend in Selçuk sub-basin and to detect whether there is a decrease or increase in recharge amounts due...
Effect of Fiber Orientation of Bend-Twist Coupled Blades on the Structural Performance of the Wind Turbine System Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (2017-01-05) The effect of fibre angle of bend-twist coupled mixed GFRP-CFRP wind turbine blades on the structural performance of the wind turbine system is studied. For the structural performance evaluation, the effect of the use of off-axis plies in the main spar caps of the bendtwist coupled wind turbine blade on the reduction of damage correspondent internal loads in the whole wind turbine system, electrical power produced, tower-blade end gap, and maximum stress in the blades are taken as major criteria. Different ...
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 ...
