Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the coordination of wind power plants with either other wind power plants or any other source such as PV, storage, STATCOM to provide grid services, in order to maintain the stability of future entire renewable energy integrated power systems.

This Special Issue aims to gather contributions which provide agile insights and answers to a variety of future research challenges for improved integration of a large share of renewable generation plants, providing industry and society with new solutions. The contributions to this Special Issue can involve but need not be limited to the following topics:

  • Co-ordination among wind and renewable generations to provide enhanced grid services (grid following, grid supporting and grid forming) both for interconnected and island networks;
  • Co-ordination among wind turbines in a single wind power plant to provide grid services;
  • Co-ordination of wind turbines together with other components inside wind power plants such as supercapacitors, STATCOM, and on-load tap changers to provide enhanced grid services;
  • Co-ordinated control of wind power plants, especially as a cluster of large offshore wind power plants connected to a power system at one point of connection either through HVAC or HVDC connection to provide enhanced grid services;
  • Co-ordination of wind power together with other sources—solar power and storage controlled through a hybrid power plant controller to provide enhanced grid services;
  • Co-ordination of other network assets including TSO/DSO coordination for networks with a large share of renewable generations;
  • Co-ordinated control of wind power plants together with power to x (hydrogen, methane, etc.)

Wind power represents a promising source of renewable energies. Precise forecasting of wind power generation is crucial to mitigate the challenges of balancing supply and demand in the smart grid. Nevertheless, the major difficulty in wind power is its high fluctuation and intermittent nature, making it challenging to forecast. This study aims to develop efficient data-driven models to accurately forecast wind power generation. Crucially, the main contributions of this work are listed in the following major elements. Firstly, we investigate the performance of enhanced machine learning models to forecast univariate wind power time-series data. Specifically, we employed Bayesian optimization (BO) to optimally tune hyperparameters of the Gaussian process regression (GPR), Support Vector Regression (SVR) with different kernels, and ensemble learning (ES) models (i.e., Boosted trees and Bagged trees) and investigated their forecasting performance. Secondly, dynamic information has been incorporated in their construction to further enhance the forecasting performance of the investigated models. Specifically, we introduce lagged measurements to enable capturing time evolution into the design of the considered models. Furthermore, more input variables (e.g., wind speed and wind direction) are used to further improve wind prediction performance. Actual measurements from three wind turbines in France, Turkey, and Kaggle are used to verify the efficiency of the considered models. The results reveal the benefit of considering lagged data and input variables to better forecast wind power. The results also showed that the optimized GPR and ensemble models outperformed the other machine learning models. Full article
