Projected Avoided Costs of Conventional Power Plants in Libya Using Wind Energy

This paper investigates the costs that can be avoided by using wind energy in the central coastal area of Libya. The investigation of the capacity credit was performed in a previous work. The analysis included Fuel saving, capacity saving and emission reduction (NO, SO2 and CO2) to the atmosphere. The avoided costs were translated into equivalent energy costs of wind energy systems. The evaluation was conducted using the reliability (LOLP) analysis and the contribution of wind system during peak demand to the utility total electricity generation system. The calculations were carried out using WASP (Wien Automatic System Planning Package) for the proposed period of 2009-2019 where wind power installation would increase from 100 MW in 2009 to 500 MW in 2019. The results showed that the avoided costs of wind energy will increase from 2.4 c/kWh in 2009 to 8.6 c/kWh in 2019. The mean value of the avoided costs of wend energy over the 10-year period is 6 c/kWh, which would make wind power economically competitive with conventional power plants in Libya. Further investigations of detailed external costs of all energy systems in the national energy mix, as well as the feed in tariff, are recommended and should be introduced to the national energy sectors in order to promote implementation of wind energy and other renewable energy technologies.

Renewable Energy Production from Agricultural Waste and Hydrogen Battery Formation

In recent years, the growth of solar and wind power installation has not grown in par with its electrical grid integration. Hence this proposed work uses frictional Pyrolysis to enable this integration by converting electrical energy into mechanical work without any indication of excess heat requirement. The renewable energy that is in excess can be used in conversion of agricultural residue to biocoal. This is the basis of of renewable battery. In this work a case study is presented such that biomass characteristics are examined and further transformed to bio coal. Observations indicate that in the past decade there is a significant increase in wind power installation (258%) and the number of solar PVs installed have also accounted for 21,437 GWh. From the biomass initial stage, the total amount of energy produced lies within the range 78% to 89%. This methodology of using renewable battery ensures that the environment state cleaner and carbon sequestration and also be implemented in agricultural development.

Self-generated power supply of agricultural enterprises based on renewable energy sources

The article contains the following technical proposals for the power supply of autonomous agricultural facilities using renewable energy sources: the use of hybrid solar-wind power plants, the use of vortex wind power plants with a vertical axis to use both the energy of horizontal wind flows and the energy of upward air flows. The structure and operation algorithm of an autonomous power supply system based on a hybrid solarwind power plant and a diesel generator for autonomous agricultural facilities of small and medium power in regions where there is no distribution electric network are proposed. This system will allow for insufficient wind load to ensure reliable power supply to an autonomous agricultural facility with minimal use of diesel fuel. The design of a vortex wind power installation has been developed. The fastening on the shaft of the wind power installation of a conical helical blade with a variable radius, decreasing in the direction from the lower to the upper cut of the socket, improves the efficiency of the installation. The proposed installation makes it possible to use small winds and low-potential thermal ascending air currents, reduce low-frequency vibration and noise, and also increase the stability and efficiency of use of wind energy.

Optimum Control of Wind Power Installation

Решена задача по разработке принципа эффективного автоматизированного управления ветроэлектрической установкой, направленная на повышение стабильности частоты вращения ротора ветроколеса и уменьшение динамических нагрузок на основные элементы конструкции, что способствует улучшению показателей надежности электроснабжения основного управления в условиях неполной информации о характеристиках метеорологических и электроэнергетических условий, существенно изменяющихся во времени. Предложен метод управления процессом производства электроэнергии путем формирования угловой скорости ротора ветроколеса и угла положения лопасти на основе упреждения изменений скорости ветра и величины потребляемой электроэнергии, на малых промежутках времени (среднеквадратическая ошибка математического ожидания метеопараметра не превышает 4 %). Определение интервала времени, в течение которого осуществляется осреднение измеренных значений, производится с помощью учета хронологии характера изменения внешней среды, чтобы минимизировать время контроля выходных управляемых параметров, что дает возможность повысить стабильность частоты вращения ротора ветротурбины за счет уменьшения продолжительности переходного процесса в среднем в два раза. Рассмотрен принцип формирования комбинированного управления за счет согласованного взаимодействия со стороны основного и предложенного методов принятия управляющих решений на основе разграничения времени доступа к устройству изменения положения лопастей, который реализуется на каждом шаге в соответствии с алгоритмом выработки управляющих воздействий в зависимости от характера изменения внешних возмущающих воздействий. В качестве исходных данных для работы алгоритма выступают расчетные значения угловой скорости ротора ветроколеса на прогнозируемом отрезке времени, величина отклонения расчетного значения угловой скорости от номинального и знак отклонения. Если угловая скорость изменяется в большую сторону и при этом ее отклонение превосходит допустимое значение, то управляющие решения принимаются со стороны предложенного метода управления, в противном случае решения по выработке управляющих воздействий принимаются со стороны основного управления процессом поддержания номинального значения скорости вращения ветроколеса.
