Seamless Mode Change between Grid-connected Mode and Islanded Mode for PV Systems

Technology SummaryDistributed generators, including solar power, in the microgrid, must be able to work in both grid-connected mode and islanded mode (the condition in which a distributed generator continues to power a location even though electrical grid power is no longer present), with good transient performances during mode changes. This technology...

Passive Structure Wind Energy Extraction System

The inventor has designed a fluid flow energy extraction system that requires no external rotor blades. The fundamental principle of the invention is to maximize the generation of high pressure potential in a passive structure. This is done through the design of a self-amplifying aerodynamic system consisting of two or more airfoils. The inventor has...

Using objective analysis and dual-Doppler synthesis to document wind turbine inflow and wake flow; flow fields upstream, downstream and within wind farms; power deficits; and enhanced turbulence

Wind Farm Turbine Wake and Flow Field Analysis With Dual Doppler Wind turbines not only produce power, they produce wakes (like those in water) in the atmosphere downstream from each turbine. The wakes can damage other turbines and decrease the efficiency of the wind farm. A Ka-band mobile research dual-Doppler radar system developed by the Texas...
