Analytical models for wind power investmentCheng, Mang-kong., 鄭孟剛. January 2011 (has links)
Wind power generation has experienced an explosive growth worldwide. It is a
promising renewable energy source to countries that are short of fossil fuels, e.g. China.
While wind power is a distinctive direction to go for, it is still necessary to examine the
rationale behind such investing mania, and this thesis analyzes the issue by collectively
investment modeling.
For investment analysis, it is necessary to first identify the relevant market
background before inferring to any analytical model. Chapter 2 identifies a number of
wind power investment scenarios in accordance to modern electricity market regime,
primarily American and European structures. Among them, two main scenarios are
investigated and modeled subsequently: fixed tariff wind power project invested by
independent power producer and wind power project undertaken by utility. It has to be
emphasized that different market scenarios would lead to different modeling
methodologies for best representing the reality.
Wind power is intermittent and uncertain. One way to describe the probabilistic
energy production is by statistical characterization of wind power in a period of time.
Chapter 3 presents a standalone analytical model of the wind power probability
distribution and its higher order statistics. Large-scale deployment of wind power would
influence power system in unprecedented ways. High penetration wind power poses a
need of refinement to existing methodologies on production costing and reliability
evaluation. The applications of the probabilistic wind power model to these topics are
outlined in this chapter.
In Chapter 4, investment of fixed tariff wind power project is analyzed. Operation
of wind farm is very passive and as long as wind keeps blowing, such wind power
investment has minimal risk in annual revenue. The low-risk profile facilitates debt
financing. This leads to the attempt to manipulate the project capital structure to
maximize the project levered value. Yet the default probability is raised and associated
with a subjective value of default probability there is a value-at-risk debt level. I therefore
propose an optimization formulation to maximize the wind power project valuation with
debt as decision variable subject to the value-at-risk debt constraint.
Apart from independent wind power producers, many policy and market factors
driving wind power development are actually put on the utility side, e.g. Renewable
Portfolio Standard (Renewable Energy Target) in U.S. (Europe) and Green Power
Programs. It implies that utility has to have wind power (or other renewable) capacity
ready by a certain date. In practice, utility may take action earlier if conditions are
favorable or optimal. The conditions considered here are fossil fuel prices or in more
general setting, electricity contract prices. Define the total fuel cost saving from
conventional units as the benefit of wind power. If fuel prices are high enough,
substituting load demand by wind energy is profitable, vice versa. The investment
decision is analogous to premature exercising of an American option, in which the wind
power project is modeled as real option. Chapter 5 offers detailed formulation of this idea. / published_or_final_version / Electrical and Electronic Engineering / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Small power, three to one phase matrix converter for wind generatorsEhlers, P, Richards, CG, Nicolae, DV 15 May 2013 (has links)
This paper investigates the concept of an isolated small wind power system based on
a three-phase generator and a direct ac-to-ac conversion. The ac-to-ac conversion is performed
by a matrix converter and thus removing the need of a large smoothing capacitor in the typical
rectifier-inverter solution. The paper is briefly presenting the operation for a particular topology
of a three-phase to single-phase matrix converter. The control of this conversion ensures system’s
frequency and voltage stability. Simulation results and practical results are presented to validate
the frequency and voltage regulation of the isolated power system.
