Green Infrastructure Impact on Air Pollution Reduction Considering the Effects of Meteorological and Climate Factors
(2019-10)
;
;
;
A major concern in urban areas is the low quality of air with high levels of particulate matter and various pollutants that have significant impacts on human health and global environment. Thus, there is an urgent need to reduce air pollution by implementing various short- and long-term actions. Skopje is also struggling with unprecedented increase in air pollution. This is the major motivation for the research presented in the paper. The objective is to provide an assessment of the influence of green walls on air quality in urban areas and correlate it with meteorological factors. Research has shown that one of the methods for decreasing air pollution in urban areas is by implementation of green walls, as plants absorb the particulate matter through their leaves and growing medium. The paper presents research undertaken to assess the influence of the meteorological factors, such as wind speed and direction, relative humidity, and temperature on air quality and to determine which one has the highest impact on particulate matter reduction. With daily monitoring of temperature, humidity, and heat variations near and within the green wall and a reference case, it is possible to analyse the effect of the green walls on air pollution reduction. The air quality monitoring system used to perform the experiments is a low-cost and energy-efficient solution that uses wireless sensor network technology that can be easily deployed in highly polluted areas. The paper presents results of the data analysis of the effect of meteorological and climatic factors in particulate matter reduction and the influence of the wind conditions, seasonal variations, and plant characteristics.

Fickert, Lothar
Wind field layout optimization concerning various parameters is a major point in planning and will influence the revenue for the whole life of the installation. Besides the obvious impact of wind distribution also other parameters like connection costs and levelized costs of energy influence the optimum layout and have to be included in a realistic optimization algorithm. In this paper the sophisticated optimization of wind field layout with of two fundamentally different heuristic algorithms is investigated. To do so, detailed real-world data from an existing wind field in Bogdanci, Macedonia is utilized by employing real wind field data we are able to calibrate model adequacy and ascertain a model that will serve as a referent guidance in the planning of future onshore wind fields. Different layouts were designed using sophisticated algorithms for handling the resulting high-dimensional, highly nonlinear optimization problem. In particular, a nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) and a mixed discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm (MD-PSO) were applied. Both optimization algorithms established bi-objective fitness functions, in particular- minimizing the levelized cost of energy and maximizing the capacity factor. By comparing the results obtained with the existing layout, it is established that both optimization algorithms are adequate in determination of wind power plant layouts. It is proven that the implementation of sophisticated optimization methods can results in essential savings during the whole lifetime of the wind field.

Fault detection under operating wind turbine through yaw misalignment conditions
(MAKO CIGRE, 2019-10)
;
;
;
In the past few years, the interest in controlling the wind turbine yaw misalignment has re emerged. The reason for this interest is the desire for maximum exploitation of wind turbines and elimination of any omission in the production of electrical energy. The operation of wind generator systems in conditions of inadequate control and compliance with direct wind direction is reflected in the reduction of electricity produced, as well as in reducing the exploitation period of the wind turbine. Accurate yaw angle measurement is a fundamental for efficient operation of the non-compliance angle control system. In wind turbines, which lack such a modern metering system, the occurrence of fatigue working conditions is becoming more and more frequent, and thus the problems and defects that occur with all mechanisms for controlling and adapting nacelle face the upcoming wind. Of particular importance to maintenance an operating wind field, is the adequate and real time detection of such an error. Frequent changes on the direction of the nacelle, or a rare adaptation of the pitch angle to a particular wind turbine have been recorded during the operation mode of one wind turbine from the Bogdanci wind field. The analysis of its operating modes, as well as the proposed solution for optimal operation, in absence of a modern measuring system to control yaw misalignment of the nacelle and the wind direction, are presented in this paper.

Wind regimes representation modeling by using multivariable distributions
(MAKO CIGRE, 2019-10)
;
;
;
The electricity produced from one wind turbine is almost entirely dependent on the intensity of the upcoming wind. On the other hand, while making analysis of electricity production of a single wind field, equal attention should be paid to wind direction, since it defines the overall wind flow in the wind field. Accordingly, when making estimations of the expected annual production of energy from one wind field, the correlations of wind speed and direction should be appropriately taken into account. The usual practice of using Weibull distributions by a number of sectors is not the most suitable for optimization processes for defining the layout of one wind filed. For this purpose, the paper proposes a method that is simple and easy to implement, which is based on a multivariable distribution function of the parameters of the wind. For the analysis of the proposed model the measured wind data used in this paper are from one existing wind field. In addition, three stage functional distributions are obtained, which satisfactorily match the measurement data. In order to determine the matching degree of the adapted multivariable distributions with the measurement data, the quantitative parameter for error estimation - R2 was used. Various sizes of data sampling intervals are also examined in order to reduce the generation time of multiple distributions, which will not affect the quality of matching between generated distributions and measured data.

Ivanovski, Ilija
;
;
The rapid technology development for utilization of wind energy, requires constant improvement of the mechanisms that make the conversion of this energy into electricity. For these reasons, it is necessary to continuously monitor the state and trends of the development of wind energy conversion systems. The paper provides an overview of the latest technological developments of multi megawatt wind generators. In addition, the technological and economic advantages and disadvantages of each wind energy conversion system are analyzed. At the same time, a comparative analysis of several types of wind generators has been made, based on: weight, material types, axial length of the generator, rotor diameter and energy yield. This comparison is appropriate for detecting and defining the adequate structure of a higher installed power generating system for both- onshore and offshore wind fields. In addition, the latest improvement and optimal techniques of wind generators, their operation in faulty conditions, the ways of networking, as well as their application to wind turbines with high installed power are shown. This review offers the opportunity to understand the procedures for future design of wind fields, consisting of multi-megawatt units for conversion of wind energy,

Optimization of wind farm layout concerning various parameters is a major point in planning and will influence the revenue for the whole life of the installation. Besides the obvious impact of wind distribution also other parameters like connection costs and levelized costs of energy influence the optimum layout and have to be included in a realistic optimization algorithm. In this disertation the sophisticated optimization of wind farm layout with of two fundamentally different heuristic algorithms is investigated. To do so, detailed real-world data from an existing wind farm in Bogdanci, Macedonia is utilized by employing real wind farm data we are able to calibrate model adequacy and ascertain a model that will serve as a referent guidance in the planning of future onshore wind farms. The major unique feature of the research is the simultaneous optimization taking into account all major technical influence and cost factors, including: (i) detailed and advanced models for power modeling due to bivariate distribution of wind speed and direction; (ii) accurate estimation of levelized cost of energy (LCOE); (iii) analysis of the shortest electrical interconnections among wind turbines and (iv) correction of hub height on each wind turbine in the wind farm with taking also the wake effect into consideration. Different layouts were designed using sophisticated algorithms for handling the resulting high-dimensional, highly non-linear optimization problem. In particular, a non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) and a mixed-discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm (MDPSO) were applied. Both optimization algorithms established bi-objective fitness functions, in particular- minimizing the levelized cost of energy and maximizing the capacity factor. By comparing the results obtained with the existing layout, it is established that both optimization algorithms are adequate in determination of wind power plant layouts. Results show also a remarkable improvement of 2.05% and 5.59% for levelized costs and capacity factor, respectively, compared to the as built wind farm layout.

Uncertainty Evaluation in Resource Assessment of Wind Energy Potential
(WindEurope, 2019-06)
Demerdziev, Kiril
;
;
The decision for exploitation wind for electrical energy production is based on assignment of its long-term mean speed and distribution parameters. This data is usually obtained from a measurement campaign with a short duration. Taking into account the real characteristics of the instrumentation, such as it is: accuracy, finite resolution, dynamic response, it is obvious that the measurements will provide information with appended uncertainty. Next, the wind speed obtained from a measurement campaign is supposed to be extrapolated in long-term period. The extrapolation possess its own uncertainty component as well. Additionally, uncertainty is present because of terrain's characteristics of the observed site. The overall uncertainty prescribed to a long-term wind speed can be easily transferred to the Weibull distribution scale and shape parameters, These uncertainties, on the other hand, lead to uncertainty existence in the calculated mean annual energy production. Several other factors affect the estimated energy production, such as turbine efficiency, and the characteristics provided by the manufacturer, especially the power curve.

Viktor Andonovic
This paper presents a meteorological and green infrastructure study to evaluate the impact of air pollution in North Macedonia. The study focuses on the spatial and temporal patterns of air pollution in the country and it investigates the influence of various factors on air pollution mitigation. Namely, it considers the effects of the pandemic, as well as measures that tackle air pollution directly, or have other broader goals, but still impact air pollution. The paper utilizes a variety of data sources, including meteorological data – temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction; air quality monitoring data – concentrations of particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO); and existence and influence of green infrastructure. In addition, the study incorporates advanced statistical and geospatial techniques to create an accurate assessment of the impacts of air pollution in North Macedonia. The statistical analyses reveal the correlations between the collected data and their statistical significance. The investigation confirms the negative correlation between PM on one side and higher air temperatures/wind speed on the other. It provides evidence of the higher concentrations of pollutants during night hours. The positive effects of reduced traffic and use of fossil fuels for heating in winter months are also observed with the analyses of the acquired data. The results of the analyses are used to discuss possible directions for air pollution reduction.

The low quality of air, especially high concentration of particulate matter that have significant negative effect on human health and environment, is a global problem in urban areas. Thus, early air pollution prediction is an urgent need in Skopje, North Macedonia with highly increased concentration of particulate matter especially during the winter months. The objective of this paper is to develop machine learning model for predicting the air pollution in Skopje. The methods are based on processing the collected data from different measurement locations in Skopje, generating numerous weather and pollution features, and choosing the optimal parameters (hyperparameters) for the model. The information for the various pollutants were provided from the measurement stations located near the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies building. The measured data are gathered from the three sensor nodes that are collecting data for following parameters: particulate matter with 10 or less micrometres (PM10), particulate matter with 2.5 or less micrometres (PM2.5), CO and NO2, and sending these data to a server for online monitoring or off-line analysis. The pollution data, together with the weather information for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction were combined to train the prediction model. The results show that the weather information is correlated with the air pollution, which allows to train a model that predicts the air pollution based on the weather data and the historical data about the pollution. The experimental evaluation showed that the best performing model, XGBoost, achieves Mean Absolute Error for PM10 values of 6.8, 9.7, and 12.4 for the nodes 3, 2, and 1 respectively, and for PM2.5 values 6.36, 8.81 and 8 for nodes 3, 2 and 1 respectively.

Reducing Uncertainty in Wind Energy Resource Assessment by using Multivariable Distribution Model
(WindEurope, 2019-06)
;

Demerdziev, Kiril
Having reliable and precise wind energy resource assessment is essential for further analysis for conversion of wind energy into electricity. Previous practices that are common for representing wind data by sector-wise Weibull distribution, over time have been replaced with different multivariate and multimodal wind distribution models which are far more precise. The paper presents an upgraded model for accurate characterization and predict the annual variation of wind conditions. It is proven that the assumption of a constant air density value, can lead to notable differences between the predicted and real wind power available at a given site. Therefore, along with the main wind parameters, speed and direction, air density treated as a variable in this paper. The method, based on the Multivariate Kernel Distribution model, is an improvement of the existing methods for representing the wind regimes. Before representing the multivariable wind distribution, a piecewise Bivariate probability density function is constructed. It is important to note that when modelling wind with sector-wise Weibull, we are assuming that the wind speed satisfies the same probability distribution inside a direction sector. Following, a Bivariate probability density function using piecewise joint distribution is carried out. Namely, this distribution contains all input parameters for calculating the multivariable Kernel distribution. For comparison of these two distributions, coefficients of determination are used. From Kernel's probability distribution function, the three parameters of the wind (speed, direction and air density) are further treated as continuous variables, which facilitates and refines all further steps for optimizing the distribution of wind turbines in one wind farm. Aside of the other advantages, this model provides information on strengths of wind speeds and the energy content in them, it also enables selection of the appropriate type of wind turbine design for deployment at a given location. The measured wind data used in this paper are from one existing wind farm and one wind measuring station with a good potential for further investigation. By this approach, we can calibrate model adequacy and ascertain a model that will serve as a referent guidance in the planning of future onshore wind farms.
