▼ From the demand for wind-produced energy, wind farms have been installed across the nation. The majority of large-scale wind farms are corporate owned. Community owned wind farms differ in that they are a locally owned asset. With the large number of people within the community involved, reaching agreements and working together while also maintaining project support can slow or end implementation plans. The complexity of community owned wind power production could be overcome by targeting school districts for implementation. Schools are a logical starting place for development because they offer a variety of people and skill sets, and pre-existing collaboration within the school and community. Schools provide the unity needed for success. Support for community owned wind power using school districts would increase if Oklahomans could be shown what drives the success of these communities already taking advantage of school based wind power production. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish the probability for the success of implementation in Oklahoma by first finding the drivers behind successful production of current wind power installed in schools. A variety of statistics and regression analyses were used to analytically produce a reliable list of significant drivers for successful implementation of wind power production. Through a three-step statistical analysis, a final multivariate regression model was chosen resulting in the final regression equation. By this equation, it is known that the only potential variable that has any effect on the dependent variable is the grant assistance received by each school site. Community wind projects need funding, but by using school districts as location sites the payback period is not as strong of a focus. School's do not necessarily have to first show profitability of the project, only that they can afford the upfront costs and then over time (a longer period than needed in a commercial wind project) make a profit.The cluster analysis results showed one group of school sites spatial encompassing Oklahoma. By focusing on the high level similarities seen in this cluster, the beginnings of what Oklahoma should focus on for implementation is already given.

▼ A wind resource assessment of two sites in the Waterloo region, WRESTRC and RIM Park, was conducted using wind speed, wind direction, temperature and pressure data collected from meteorological towers for over two years. The study was undertaken as part of the W3 Wind Energy Project, and the equipment was purchased from NRG Systems and R. M. Young Company. The data was filtered to reduce the effect of icing and tower shadow, and was analyzed using MATLAB software. Based on the mean wind speeds, small wind turbines less than 50 kW in capacity would be appropriate at both sites. Wind speeds tended to be stronger during the winter than the summer, and during the afternoon than the rest of the day. Both sites also exhibited a strong dominant wind direction – from the northwest. Due to the terrain, the wind shear and turbulence intensity at WRESTRC were moderate when the wind flowed from the dominant direction, but very high from other directions. The wind shear and turbulence intensity at RIM Park were consistently moderate in all directions. Although the terrain seems more complex at WRESTRC, the wind speed distribution and estimated annual energy production were higher at WRESTRC than at RIM Park, which indicates that it is a more viable site. The estimated capacity factors ranged from 9.4% to 22% depending on the hub height, which is not nearly high enough to suggest a commercial wind farm would be viable at either site. A small 5 kW to 15 kW wind turbine in the Waterloo region could offset the electricity usage of an average home. A two-parameter power law model of wind shear was explored and compared with the standard one-parameter model. In terms of goodness-of-fit, the two-parameter model did perform better. But in terms of accuracy of extrapolation, it was not conclusively better or worse than a one-parameter model forced through the known data point closest to the prediction height. The relationship between turbulence intensity and measurement interval was examined. Since atmospheric flow is unsteady, they are not independent. The perceived turbulence intensity was found to increase exponentially with time intervals under 24 hours. Two linear regression-based Measure-Correlate-Predict methods were evaluated using long-term data from a weather station also at WRESTRC. The ordinary least squares method was considered the baseline given its simplicity. The variance ratio method improved upon it by ensuring that the variance of the wind speed distribution at the target site was preserved.

▼ Cross flow wind turbines are not unique. The performance of Savonius and Darrieus turbines is well documented. Both share the advantage of being able to accept fluid flow from any direction. The Savonius is drag based and hence has poor power output while the Darrieus is lift based. Due to the fact that the Darrieus has fixed blades the fluid flow through the rotor does not result in optimal lift being generated at all points in the rotation circle. A drawback of the Darrieus system is that it has to operate at a high tip-to wind-speed ratio to obtain reasonable performance with the fixed blades. Deviation from a small optimal range of tip speed ratios results in poor performance. The Darrieus also has poor starting torque. The research conducted in this project focused on overcoming the shortcomings of other turbines and developing an effective cross flow turbine capable of good performance. A number of different concepts were experimented with, however all were based on a symmetrical aerofoil presented to the actual relative airflow at an angle that would produce the highest lift force at all times. The lift force was then utilized to generate movement and to do work on an electrical generator. All concepts contemplated were researched to ascertain their appropriateness for the intended application. During development of the final experimental platform and after lodging of a provisional patent (RSA 2007/00927) it was ascertained that the design shared some similarities with an American patent 5503525 dated 28/4/1994. This patent employed complex electronic sensing and control equipment for control of blade angle. This was thought to be overly complex and costly, particularly for small scale wind energy generation applications and a simpler mechanical solution was sought in the design of the final experimental platform used in this project. The design of the mechanical control system was refined in an attempt to make it simpler, more durable and employ the least number of moving parts. Literature studies and patent searches conducted, suggested that the mechanical control system as developed for the final experimental platform was unique. The enormous variation in the power available from the wind at the different wind speeds likely to be encountered by the device necessitated some means of control. In high wind conditions control of the amount of wind power into the device was deemed to be the preferable means of control. A number of different concepts to achieve this were devised and tested. The final concept employed limited the tail angle deflection and hence the lift produced by the aerofoils. This resulted in a seamless “throttle” control allowing the device to be used in any wind strength by adjusting the control to a position that resulted in the device receiving a suitable amount of power from the wind. The outcome of performance tests conducted indicated that the device has the potential to be developed into a viable wind turbine for both small and large scale applications. The ability to control the power…

▼ Wind energy is a proven energy source that does not contribute to emission of greenhouse gases, air and water pollution, or generate large quantities of waste. However, wind generation is dependent on wind speed, which is difficult to predict with high accuracy. The intermittent nature of wind generation makes its operation and planning a complex problem and there is a need for advanced analytical models to embed this uncertainty in its generation profile. This research focuses on the development of innovative mathematical modeling and analysis tools to improve our understanding of the effects of wind generation on power systems. The overall goal of this research is to introduce novel analytical frameworks to consider the penetration of wind generation sources within the distribution and transmission networks. In particular, two main operational problems are addressed within this thesis; the Distribution Load Flow (DLF) problem and the Unit Commitment (UC) problem in the presence of wind generation. First for the DLF problem, a novel probabilistic wind generation model is presented. The probabilistic wind generation profile, which is a function of the wind speed, is considered and an appropriate procedure is developed to classify specific levels based on wind speed, in order to reduce the number of probabilistic combinations of wind power generation. Next, a novel Probabilistic Distribution Load Flow (PDLF) approach is used to evaluate the impact of wind penetration into distribution systems. The traditional DLF program is modified to include the wind generation profiles. Three Wind Turbine (WT) models are derived and integrated within the PDLF program to examine and compare their performance. The probabilistic forward-backward sweep algorithm is developed for the first two models of WT. For the third model of WT, a probabilistic compensation-based load flow is presented. The effect of WT penetration is investigated on feeder losses, voltage profile and line flows. Secondly, a new scenario generation and reduction technique is developed for analyzing the effects of wind generation uncertainties on short-term power system operation. A historical wind speed data set is used to obtain different wind speed clusters which are then processed through Monte Carlo Simulations (MCS), Markov-chains and a forward selection scenario reduction algorithm to obtain a reduced set of scenarios. These reduced scenarios are then incorporated into a Locational Marginal Price (LMP) based electricity market settlement and dispatch model. These UC type models incorporate system constraints and transmission constraints to examine the effects of wind generation on electricity market prices, UC decisions including generation, reserve requirement, load cleared and social welfare. Markov-chain transition matrices are developed to include the effect of the inter-hour transition correlation of wind speed from one specific hour to the following hour to improve the generation of the wind scenarios. The effect of changing wind farm capacity on…

▼ Strong winds have breached the city walls. A set of iron chairs launch toward a couple passing an outdoor patio. Bags of groceries fling from unsuspecting hands and scatter across the sidewalk. A group of cyclists swerve onto a busy road as they pass a newly constructed tower. Pedestrians are experiencing these disruptive wind-related events as a result of the increase in tall building construction and its unavoidable interactions with wind. Enclosures that provide controlled environments are unintentionally encouraging winds that challenge pedestrian safety and comfort at grade. With few visual guidelines and tools accessible to them, designers are not only limited in their ability to understand architectural aerodynamics but also lack the knowledge to properly make use of available modes of software and testing. While other elements of design such as daylighting, can be verified through sight, the invisibility of wind makes deciphering its effects a difficult and perpetual task. This thesis offers insight on how and where to look for wind — not to “see” in the traditional sense, but to look beneath the surface of things. An exploration of architectural aerodynamics is visually represented and organized in three interrelated parts: Drawing the Wind, Laws of Motion, and Parameters of Prediction. The first is a historical overview of humanity’s relationship with wind, the second a documentation of architectural aerodynamic principles, effects and methods of simulation, while the final is a visual exploration of the link between buildings and wind sited in Toronto, Ontario. Each part is a visual exploration in, and reflection of, environmental awareness. By using visualization methods to improve the communication between designers and wind specialists, this document promotes a design practice that enables a productive consideration of wind in the city. Ultimately, designers must be aware of basic aerodynamic principles and the corresponding effects to not only provide optimal interior environments within buildings, but also in between them.

▼ The Lambert Glacier drainage basin is a large area of the Antarctic which has been devoid of conventional meteorological observations, apart from the coastal meteorological stations. A mesoscale atmospheric model is adapted for use over the Antarctic continent, and is used with the coastal meteorological records to simulate boundary layer climatologies over the region. The results are well validated by new data from oversnow traverses and automatic stations around the basin. The CSU-Pielke (Pielke and Martin (1981)) numerical mesoscale model was tested for its suitability over Antarctica. Problems with the surface energy balance iteration scheme, sea ice surface temperatures, boundary layer height parameterisation and the representation of cloud in the radiation scheme over the Antarctic plateau needed to be overcome. Following sensitivity tests to surface parameters, mean summer and winter modelling results were verified using interpolated fields from observations available around the Lambert Basin. Analyses of the meteorological records at Mawson station showed that warm, moist blizzard winds were associated with cyclonic forcing, and average katabatic winds consisted of cold, dry air originating further south and flowing as a shallow surface density current to the coast. "Katabatic-blizzard" winds were the strongest mean winds found, forced by a combination of cyclonic and drainage flows. The mesoscale modelling clarified the observations and showed that downslope winds are likely to be influenced by SW - W synoptic wind directions during July. Near-surface jets complicated relationships between surface and synoptic winds because they are fairly independent of synoptic control, existing as relatively dense parcels of air draining downslope from the plateau. Observations showed that during summer, wind speed increases were accompanied by increases in thermal stability, but during winter, by reductions in stability. During January, upper winds directly influence surface winds through direct transfer of momentum in the vertical, but during July, vectorial components contribute to the surface flow forcing. The modelling explained the differences in boundary layer structure between summer and winter, associated with the seasonal differences in synoptic flow and also explained why Mawson station is a site of strong, persistent winds. Once appropriately adapted for Antarctic use, the numerical model was found to produce reasonable thermal fields with corresponding wind regimes. It then served as a powerful tool for improving the general understanding of air flow over Antarctica, on the regional scale, and also for explaining relationships between surface winds and synoptic forcing over Mawson station.

▼ The availability of offshore wind resources in coastal regions along with a high concentration of load centers in these areas makes offshore wind energy an attractive opportunity. Infrastructure costs and operation and maintenance costs for offshore wind technology, however, are significant obstacles that need to be overcome to make offshore wind a viable option. Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are potentially ideal candidates for large offshore wind energy applications, and may provide a means to significantly reduce life-cycle costs associated with offshore wind energy. This has motivated the development of a flexible and extensible modular analysis framework for investigating VAWT designs. The Offshore Wind Energy Simulation toolkit contains a modular analysis framework that provides a general interface to external modules such as aerodynamics, hydrodynamics/platform dynamics, and generator/drive-train modeling software. Theoretical developments in dynamic systems are also presented in this work. Implicit time integration methods are investigated for their applicability to Gyric systems (flexible systems undergoing general rotational motion). An energy conserving integration method for conventional flexible systems are considered and proven to be energy preserving for Gyric systems. A new, efficient procedure for developing linearized representation of discrete dynamic systems is also presented. Two existing approaches for developing linear representations are combined to arrive at a new, more efficient linearization procedure that overcomes the pitfalls of the individual approaches alone. Furthermore, aeroelastic stability is a known issue for large, flexible structures under aerodynamic loads, and aeroelastic analysis was considered in the development of wind energy design tools. Finally, an investigation of the structural dynamics of offshore VAWT structure is conducted. A fundamental understanding of a resonance in VAWT configurations is sought, and the effects of support conditions on dynamic response of VAWT configurations is explored.

▼ Over the last decade substantial improvements have been made in one’s ability to observe the tropical cyclone boundary layer. Mean wind profiles computed from GPS dropwindsonde data have shown a “jet-like” wind speed maximum located near 500 m above ground level however measurements from individual GPS dropwindsondes (GPS sondes) exhibit variability. Tropical cyclone low-level wind maxima represent a source of momentum available for vertical transport; however little is known regarding their characteristics over open ocean conditions or at landfall. In order to thoroughly characterize low-level wind maxima, over 1080 GPS sondes were employed. Given the lack of GPS sonde data at landfall the National Weather Service’s network of Doppler radar systems was used to mitigate the data void. Over 380 velocity azimuth display wind profiles were derived in order to evaluate the structure and evolution of the boundary layer wind profile at landfall. These data were processed to investigate low-level wind maxima as well to separate the influence of turbulence from quasi-steady low-level jet features described in previous studies. Analysis of the GPS sonde dataset revealed a decrease in the height of the wind maximum with radius and mean boundary layer wind speed. An azimuthal dependence was also observed as the left-front storm-relative sector contained the lowest mean wind maximum. Low-level jet features were observed within more than half of all GPS sondes their mean and variance mirrored the statistics associated with low-level wind maxima. The characteristics of the jet features were in good agreement with previous numerical studies. Logarithmic and power law profiles were also found to perform quite well for composite vertical wind profiles; however when used for individual GPS sondes they were somewhat less effective. The use of velocity azimuth display (VAD) wind profiles proved to be effective in resolving the boundary layer wind vertical wind profile. The height of the wind maximum was found to be radially and azimuthally dependent. Persistent low-level jet features were identified primarily within the off-shore flow regime. The passage of rainbands was also found to influence the vertical wind profile. Log and power law profiles also performed well for VAD derived wind profiles.

▼ Access to electricity is one of the tangible approaches to improving the social and economic level of citizens the world over. Elevating living standards through electricity access for rural areas in developing countries encounters, however, a severe fiscal barrier as developing countries, do not often have the financial capacity to enable that development from either the government side or the private sector. It is thus common that many rural electrification projects in developing countries are implemented through bilateral and multilateral aid funding. This research focuses on a solution for electricity access for one of the world’s more remote Pacific island communities, Kiritimati Island, which is one of the Line Islands in Kiribati. The five main villages on this island currently have access to various isolated electricity grids utilising diesel generators managed by the Ministry of Line and Phoenix Development. In addition, private sector demand centres situated outside the electrified villages supply their own electricity using separate diesel generators. The petroleum fuel for the island is shipped direct from the ExxonMobil depot in Fiji and thus transhipment costs are significant. Load measurements were carried out for the main population centres on the island during a field trip. Wind speed measurements were accessed from an aid funded monitoring program which showed wind speeds higher than might be expected for an island so close to the equator. An average annual wind speed of 7.1 m/s measured at 33 meters above ground level was found for the years 2010 and 2011. An economic assessment using the HOMER software package found that the utilisation of a wind diesel system was very promising and could contribute to the energy security of the island using a supply mix including wind energy and diesel generators which would alleviate the current financial burden in regards to imported fuels and in addition reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Very recently has the concept of a slip coupler been introduced in wind energy applications. It forms part of the SS-PMG and there is extensive work being done in evaluating the technology. It's application is for a fixed speed and fixed blade pitch stall controlled wind turbine. The stall controlled wind turbine's aerodynamic performance is evaluated using BEM and CFD for various wind conditions where the gust winds are evaluated in case they pose a potential threat in the health of the system components. The optimum energy capture for proposed wind site is established and a cost analysis is performed in order to establish what size turbine and cost would yield optimum energy production per cost. A cost model for the SS-PMG system is proposed whereby a discrete cost package for the slip-PMC and the PMSG are developed, with the use of mass ratios of the SS-PMG components and some data from electrical machines manufacturers. A simple cost model for the wind turbine blades is established and with the available cost models, the drive train cost evaluation is performed in evaluating the competitiveness of the Aero Energy and the NREL Phase VI wind turbine. To minimise shaft stifiness, the slip-PMC is introduced in small-scale wind turbines. The analysis of such machines is proposed and evaluated. A spoke-mount PM coupler configuration is proposed and its performance is evaluated against that of the the surface-mount PM coupler which is widely studied in most literature. The machine performance sensitivity to magnet dimensions is done in a form of a optimisation of a PM rotor for a fixed wound rotor. The spoke-mount PM machine shows an improvement in torque performance for the same amount of PM material as the surface-mount PM machine. The slip-PMC torque performance is dependent on the effective resistance of the coils, thus assuming dc resistance only yields inaccurate prediction, especially at high frequencies. Thus slot leakage effect is accounted by introducing a multiple layer coil modelling technique whereby the average taken when only one coil layer is considered is minimised. Additionally the ac resistance is dominant where the skin depth of penetration is less than the actual coil depth, thus it is deemed necessary to evaluate the model performance assuming ac resistance at high slip frequencies. The low core loss which is deemed negligible in the design optimisation of such a machine is demonstrated using a static and time harmonic model. The conduction losses which are quite dominant and accounted for in the design optimisation are illustrated. Finally the slip-PMC concept is tested test rig prototype which shows is in agreement with the static FEM analysis method, in effect validating the slip-PMC concept.
