Hourly values speed radiation recorded several years used locations. The profiles from Thumrait Masirah island modelled Weibull distribution....
Currently, the contribution of renewable energy in isolated power systems are not fully exploited. The intermittent nature resources limits electricity supply mix. This paper presents an overview wind intermittency and potential solutions. A case study about a combined Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) plant system is presented. demonstrates that wind-PHES economically attractive compared with other fossil fuel options.
