Section Information:

Wind, wave and tidal energy—commonly recognized as clean and environmentally friendly renewable energy resources—are becoming more commonplace, as the fraction of energy from renewable resources continues to increase. Nevertheless, significant challenges remain in reducing the levelized cost of energy for renewable technologies, particularly nascent technologies, such as wave and tidal. Also, as wind moves offshore, with both fixed and floating options, there is further opportunity to combine wind with wave and/or tidal.

This Section aims to include contributions across the spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines concerned with the development of wind, wave and tidal renewable technologies, from fundamental device development/design, supporting technologies (control, condition monitoring, etc.), power conversion, to grid integration and associated storage technologies. Studies on hybrid systems (combined wind/wave/tidal) are particularly encouraged, as are novel applications (apart from electricity production), including potable water production, amongst others.

Featured Papers

Power and Wind Shear Implications of Large Wind Turbine Scenarios in the US Central PlainsRebecca J. Barthelmie, Tristan J. Shepherd, Jeanie A. Aird and Sara C. PryorDOI: 10.3390/en13071638

mdpi.com/1996-1073/13/16/4269

Abstract: Continued growth of wind turbine physical dimensions is examined in terms of the implications for wind speed, power and shear across the rotor plane. High-resolution simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting model are used to generate statistics of wind speed profiles for scenarios of current and future wind turbines. The nine-month simulations, focused on the eastern Central Plains, show that the power scales broadly as expected with the increase in rotor diameter (D) and wind speeds at hub-height (H). Increasing wind turbine dimensions from current values (approximately H = 100 m, D = 100 m) to those of the new International Energy Agency reference wind turbine (H = 150 m, D = 240 m), the power across the rotor plane increases 7.1 times. The mean domain-wide wind shear exponent (α) decreases from 0.21 (H = 100 m, D = 100 m) to 0.19 for the largest wind turbine scenario considered (H = 168 m, D = 248 m) and the frequency of extreme positive shear (α > 0.2) declines from 48% to 38% of 10-min periods. Thus, deployment of larger wind turbines potentially yields considerable net benefits for both the wind resource and reductions in fatigue loading related to vertical shear.

European and Indian Grid Codes for Utility Scale Hybrid Power PlantsAnca Daniela Hansen, Kaushik Das, Poul Sørensen, Pukhraj Singh and Andrea GavrilovicDOI: 10.3390/en14144335

mdpi.com/1996-1073/14/14/4335

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to review and compare present European and Indian grid code requirements imposed to hybrid power plants (HPPs) combining wind, solar and storage technologies. Since there are no grid codes specifically for HPPs, the paper will review grid codes for the power plant based on individual renewable technology in the HPP. European grid codes specifies ranges for parameters inside which each national transmission system operators (TSO) has to specify the set of national parameters (Danish specifications in this paper). The comparisons are performed with respect to fault-ride-through capability, frequency and voltage operation ranges, active power control/frequency support as well as reactive power control/voltage support.
