Item Grid integration: Part III - Case studies(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2013-01-01) MacEnri, J.; Santos-Mugica, M.; Blavette, A.; Kavanagh, D.; Keane, A.; Flynn, D.; POWER SYSTEMSThis chapter details four case studies addressing the grid integration of wave and tidal current energy. The first three studies focus on the power quality issues arising from the connection of a tidal device or of a wave farm on their local network. More specifically, the first study investigates the impact of the SeaGen tidal turbine connected at Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. The two other studies focus on the grid impact of a medium-size wave farm on its local network. The last study addresses the challenges in terms of grid integration at a power system level and details the capacity value of wave energy in Ireland.Item Modelling and simulation techniques(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2013-01-01) Benelghali, S.; Charpentier, J.; Benbouzid, M.; Santos-Mugica, M.; Mendia, J.; Fernandez, F.; Mollaghan, D.; POWER SYSTEMS; RENOVABLES OFFSHORETidal turbine dynamic performance analysis requires the use of computational models representing the nonlinear differential-algebraic equations of the various system components such as tidal resource, turbine, generator, converter, control system and grid connection. However, the main difficulty is to include a variety of sub-models with different timescales for hydrodynamic loads. The user is therefore concerned with selecting the appropriate models for the problem at hand and determining the data to represent the specific turbine equipment.
