This paper presents a methodology to assess projects for the generation of clean, renewable energy. Such methodology is applied here to estimate the consumption of fossil fuels (referred to as ?oil?), required for the ...

The integration of intermittent generation in power grids, such as wind energy, imposes new challenges for transmission congestion management. In order to solve this problem, energy storage systems (ESS) have been proposed ...

This paper reviews capacity value in restructured electricity markets and presents some drawbacks in formerly adopted schemes. By revisiting the main economic foundations of Peak Load Pricing, the matter of intermittent ...

The rise of wind generation in the country and the world has promoted the emergence of several manufacturers of wind turbines, each with its own characteristics and technical specifications. This diversity makes it essential ...

Wind turbines represent a growing energy source worldwide. In many cases, operating in turbulent and changing wind direction spots. In this work, we use a wind tunnel to analyse the effect of the turbulence in a wind ...

Due to environmental concerns, the Montevideo City authorities funded a feasibility study of the use of wind turbines in several sewage works. The generators, 150 kW or more each one, will be connected to the grid. The ...
