The European Union considers that offshore wind power will play a key role in making the EU the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Currently, the potential of offshore wind energy is still untapped in Spain. Furthermore, the characteristics of the coastline in Spain require floating technology, making it challenging to install wind farms due to their current high cost. This work seeks to quantify the impact that Spanish offshore wind energy would have on the Iberian electricity market. Several offshore wind scenarios are evaluated by combining available information in relation to areas suitable for installing wind farms and wind resource data. The impact on the day-ahead electricity market has been obtained by reproducing the market, including these new offshore wind generation scenarios. The introduction of this renewable energy results in a market cost reduction in what is known as the merit-order effect. According to our estimates, for each MWh of offshore wind energy introduced in the market, there would be a market cost reduction of 45 €. These savings can serve as a reference for regulators to adjust their policy framework to boost floating wind offshore generation.

The increase in penetration of wind farms operating with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) results in stability issues such as voltage dips and high short circuit currents in the case of faults. To overcome these issues, and to achieve reliable and sustainable power from an uncertain wind source, fault current limiters (FCL) are incorporated. This work focuses on limiting the short circuit current level and fulfilling the reactive power compensation of a DFIG wind farm using a capacitive bridge fault current limiter (CBFCL). To deliver sustainable wind power to the grid, a fuzzy-based CBFCL is designed for generating optimal reactive power to suppress the instantaneous voltage drop during the fault and in the recovery state. The performance of the proposed fuzzy-based CBFCL is presented under a fault condition to account for real-time conditions. The results show that the proposed fuzzy-based CBFCL offers a more effective solution for overcoming the low voltage ride through (LVRT) problem than a traditional controller.

Finding an optimal bidding strategy for a wind farm in the electricity market is not straightforward due to the wind variability. This issue is becoming more relevant as renewable plants are more exposed to market signals. Considering the characteristics of the European markets, operators must submit the energy bidding between 12 and 36 h ahead the actual delivery time. This bidding can be adjusted later in any session of the intraday markets, but sometimes this is not enough to reduce significantly the deviation risk. This paper presents a practical application of a method to analytically calculate the optimal bidding of a wind power plant, based on the maximisation of the income function. The results show that, given the characteristics of the deviation markets in Spain, the optimal bidding strategy depends essentially on the deviation of the system. The proposed technique has been tested and validated in a real application by considering actual data for energy production and forecasts for an operating wind farm in Spain, as well as real market deviations and prices provided by the Spanish system and market operators; analysing the advantages of the proposed optimal bidding strategy over the most plausible option, based on bidding the forecasted energy.

Offshore wind power plants are becoming a realistic option for the renewable production of electricity. As an improvement tool to the profitability of OWFs, this work presents the first complete non-genetic (and non-binary) evolutionary algorithm to optimize the location, size and layout of a parallelogram-shaped offshore wind farm, as the arrangement that is becoming an standard for offshore wind farms. It has been tested in the HRI site. Most relevant economic data influencing the investment profitability have been taken into account. In addition, the paper introduces a new approach to offshore wind farm optimization based on a continuous behaviour of varying wind conditions, which allows a more realistic estimation of the energy produced. The proposed optimization approach has been tested based on the available information from HRI. Obtained solutions present similar values to the actual offshore wind farm in terms of investment and annual energy produced, but differs with respect to the optimal orientation and profitability. The contributions of this paper are: it details the first method to interpolate a continuous distribution of wind rose and Weibull parameters; it presents the first algorithm to obtain a realistic optimal solution to the location+sizing+micro-siting problem for regular arrangements; it is prepared to work with the most complete set of economic, bathymetric, and wind data.

This paper presents a new approach based on the optimization of the blade pitching strategy of offshore wind turbines in order to maximize the global energy output considering the Gaussian wake model and including the effect of added turbulence. A genetic algorithm is proposed as an optimization tool in the process of finding the optimal setting of the wind turbines, which aims to determine the individual pitch of each turbine so that the overall losses due to the wake effect are minimised. The integration of the Gaussian model, including the added turbulence effect, for the evaluation of the wakes provides a step forward in the development of strategies for optimal operation of offshore wind farms, as it is one of the state-of-the-art analytical wake models that allow the evaluation of the energy output of the project in a more reliable way. The proposed methodology has been tested through the execution of a set of test cases that show the ability of the proposed tool to maximize the energy production of offshore wind farms, as well as highlights the importance of considering the effect of added turbulence in the evaluation of the wake.

This paper presents a novel tool for optimizing floating offshore wind farms based on weathervaning turbines. This solution is grounded on the ability of the assembly (wind turbine plus floater) to self-orientate into the wind direction, as this concept is allowed to freely pivot on a single point. This is a passive yaw potential solution for floating wind farms currently in the demonstration phase. A genetic algorithm is proposed for optimizing the levelised cost of energy by determining the geographical coordinates of the pivot points (i.e., the position over which the assembly can rotate to self-orient to the incoming wind direction). A tailored evaluation module is proposed to take into account the weathervaning motion around the pivot point depending on the incoming wind direction. The results obtained show the suitability of the proposed method to solve the addressed problem under realistic conditions. Additionally, the influence of the feasible region defined by the plot and the maximum area occupied on floating offshore wind farm design are also analysed in the proposed test cases. These deployable area constraints are of great importance for the viability of this technology, as it requires more space than classical solutions anchored to a fixed point.

This paper analyses the current state of electricity prices for large industrial consumers in Spain and compares the regulatory framework with other main industrial countries in Europe. The cost of electrical energy is a key factor in a country's industrial competitiveness. In a regulatory context shaped by the new European regulation of the internal electricity market in Europe, it would be expected that electricity prices in the Member States will converge in the long term, reaching similar values throughout the European Union. However, the limited electricity interconnection capacity in the case of some countries, such as Spain, means that electricity market prices are higher than in many Member States. This means that electricity-consuming industries face problems of competitiveness due to their higher energy bill costs. This paper focuses on the current situation for large industrial consumers in Spain, studying the main causes of the differences with other European countries, as well as analysing the various support mechanisms that have been implemented at both the national and European levels. This study also discusses the future prospects and possible solutions and recommendations for energy policy to promote the competitiveness of large industry in Spain within the context of a single European market.

Most existing works using a displacement estimation method to estimate the CO2 emissions abated by wind energy are based on the current operating principles of the power system. They consider a fixed displacement emission factor since wind energy is assumed to replace high-carbon generation. This method may be unsuitable in the long run when the energy mix of most countries becomes more decarbonised. Consequently, wind energy would replace those technologies becoming increasingly predominant in the future, i.e. lower polluting fossil fuels such as natural gas and even other less competitive low-carbon technologies. In order to consider this effect, this paper proposes a new method that estimates a range of potential CO2 emissions abated by wind energy based on two dynamic displacement emission factors, which are periodically updated according to the evolution of the future energy mix. Such factors represent an upper and a lower limit of CO2 emissions avoided. The method is validated in the case study of the European Union over the period 2015–2050. The results show that the annual displacement emission factor by wind energy may vary from about 422 to 741 t CO2/GWh in 2015 to around 222–515 t CO2/GWh in 2050. The total CO2 abatement ranges from about 6600 to 13100 Mt CO2 in the period 2015–2050.

Even though wind energy is one of the most mature renewable technologies, it is in continuous development not only because of the trend towards larger wind turbines but also because of the development of new technological solutions. The gearbox is one of the components of the drive train in which the industry is concentrating more effort on research and development. Larger rotor blades lead to more demanding requirements for this component as a consequence of a higher mechanical torque and multiplication ratio (due to lower rotational speed of blades while the rotational speed on the generator side remains at similar values). In addition, operating conditions become increasingly demanding in terms of reliability, performance, and compactness. This paper analyses the different gearbox arrangements that are implemented by manufacturers of onshore wind turbines, as well as their market penetration (including different aspects that affect the design of the gearbox, such as drive train configuration and turbine size). The analysis carried out shows a clear convergence towards gearboxes with three stages. However, there is a noticeable diversity in the types of gears used, depending to a large extent on the preferences of each manufacturer but also on the nominal power of the wind turbine and drive train configuration.

This paper presents an overview of the regulatory framework for wind energy in European Union Member States. The analysis covers three main aspects of regulatory framework: support schemes, electrical grid issues and potential barriers for wind power deployment. The aim is not just to provide an updated picture of current (early-2015) regulatory framework, but also to analyse the past evolution and trends (in order to achieve the targets of renewable energy share set for 2020). Each country implements a specific regulatory framework driven by several factors: their own renewable energy targets, local availability of renewable resources, energy mix structure, existing infrastructures as well as other factors such as public perception or geographical distribution of electricity generation and consumption points. The results presented in this paper show a trend for increasing the market exposure of wind generators; feed-in premiums and competitive bidding procedures to establish the support level are gaining prominence in the last few years. In relation to grid issues, it is a common practice that new wind generators only bear the grid extension costs to the closest connection point; priority or guaranteed access is granted in most Member States and wind generators are usually not demanded to meet balancing requirements (this is expected to change in the next few years following the new guidelines provided by the European Commission). The analysis of potential barriers for wind energy deployment shows that the stability of regulatory framework is one of the most important concerns for investors. Finally, actual deployment over the last few years has been linked with evolution of regulatory frameworks. This analysis shows that some Member States have shown a strong commitment supporting wind energy; however, in other countries the support has not been enough to stimulate the desired level of investment.

This paper presents a new methodology for optimizing the wake effect performance and, therefore, the energy captured by the wind turbines in an offshore wind farm. The optimization is done by controlling the pitch angle and the tip speed ratio of each one of the wind turbines in order to minimize the overall wake effect between wind turbines and, as a consequence, maximize the power produced by the facility. The optimization is performed by using a genetic algorithm with the aim of maximizing the power production. The production model considers aspects as the wind turbine power coefficient dependence on the pitch angle and the tip speed ratio as well as the influence of these variables on the wake effect performance.

The optimum wind farm configuration problem is discussed in this paper and an evolutive algorithm to optimize the wind farm layout is proposed. The algorithm's optimization process is based on a global wind farm cost model using the initial investment and the present value of the yearly net cash flow during the entire wind-farm life span. The proposed algorithm calculates the yearly income due to the sale of the net generated energy taking into account the individual wind turbine loss of production due to wake decay effects and it can deal with areas or terrains with non-uniform load-bearing capacity soil and different roughness length for every wind direction or restrictions such as forbidden areas or limitations in the number of wind turbines or the investment. The results are first favorably compared with those previously published and a second collection of test cases is used to proof the performance and suitability of the proposed evolutive algorithm to find the optimum wind farm configuration.
