   Integration of variable speed hydropower generation and VSC HVDC
By Chao YANG [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents the study results on integration of VSC HVDC and variable speed hydropower generation. Different types of variable speed hydropower generation solutions have been reviewed. Refined calculation on annually additional power generated and reliability assessment have been illustrated for the proposed solution based on real hydropower plant parameters. Advantages and challenges for this promising integration technology are presented.

   Long term energy yield measurements of a string- vs. central inverter concept tested on a large scale PV-plant.
By Kasper PAASCH [View]

Abstract: High speed long term recording of inverter data has been performed on a utility scale PV plant and two different configurations of panel groups are compared. The recorded impact of partial shading due to moving clouds on a sting based and a central inverter based concept is analyzed.

   On- and Off-Grid Laboratory Test Setup for Hydrogen Production with Solar Energy in Nordic Conditions
By Antti KOSONEN [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Renewable energy production, such as solar and wind power, require energy storage systems because of their intermittent nature. Hydrogen is potential candidate to store energy, because it has high-energy content capacity also in long term and it is possible to build affordable large-scale energy storages based on hydrogen. This paper studies solar power and water electrolyser co-operation and system designing.

   Power Smoothing System for Wave Energy Converters by means of a Supercapacitor-based Energy Storage System
By Pablo MORENO-TORRES [View]
[Download]

Abstract: One of the main issues of wave energy nowadays is the oscillation of the generated power, which is due to the oscillating nature of the waves. These power fluctuations may have an important undesired impact on the electrical grid. This paper proposes a system that compensates power oscillations in wave energy applications by means of a supercapacitor-based energy storage system. A laboratory test bench is used to emulate wave power oscillations and to partially suppress them. The paper describes the control strategy implemented in the test bench and includes experimental results for regular waves.
