Power Systems Assessments
• Theoretical work – Maximum RE
penetration vs. control architecture
• Applied models – Energy balance – Power quality – Optimal control
• Planning support – Resource sizing – Optimal operation
Example: Nome, AK
• Impact of 2 MW Geothermal Power on Wind-Diesel System – 2.7 MW Wind Farm – Gensets: 800 kW to 5.2
MW • Wind diversion vs. fuel
savings • Optimal control
– Minimize diesel switching, maximize RE utilization
