Advanced tools for the management of electricity grids with large-scale wind generation (ANEMOS.PLUS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
Nowadays, wind power has an increasing share in the electricity generation mix in several European countries. Due to the intermittent nature of wind, the large-scale integration of wind power causes several difficulties in the management of a power system. Often, a high level of reserves is allocated to account for wind power variability, thus reducing the benefits from the use of wind energy.Toda ...

Next generation design tool for optimisation of wind farm topology and operation (TOPFARM)
Start date: Dec 1, 2007, End date: Nov 30, 2010,
During recent years, wind energy has moved from an emerging technology to become a nearly competitive technology. This fact, coupled with an increasing global focus on environmental concern, as e.g. expressed in the Kyoto protocol, and a political desire on a certain level of diversification in the energy supply, ensures wind energy an important role in the future electric energy supply market. An ...

Phenomenology and applications of three-dimensional plasma-sheath-lenses (PLASMA-SHEATH-LENS)
Start date: Aug 1, 2007, End date: Jul 31, 2009,
Plasma processing technologies are based on radial-assisted ion-induced surface modifications where positive or negative ions accumulate energy within the sheath then strike the surface with certain energies and incidence angles. Due to the limited size of the treated electrodes the sheath is a two or three- dimensional structure. We have demonstrated very recently that the sheath forming to condu ...
