Author: Juan Andrade; Ross Baldick; Yingzhang Dong Abstract: The short-term production variability of utility scale renewable generation is compensated for by Operational Reserves. At first sight, it might be expected that the required reserves would increase with the amount of renewable installed power. However, this has not recently been the case in ERCOT, where operational reserves requirements […]
Author: Dong, Yingzhang Abstract Wind energy has been playing an increasingly significant role in today’s world, and requirements for more wind integration challenges the existing electricity structure and market. ERCOT, for example, has installed significantly more wind generation in the last few years. Facts have shown that adjustments of related protocols in ERCOT market are […]
For this passage, I’m going to introduce the most basic dc-dc converter topology – Buck Converter. Some people also call it the step-down converter. Like its name shows, it steps down the dc voltage from a higher value to a lower value. This is the most basic circuit diagram of buck converter(from Wikipedia). It consists […]
