Contributions to Modeling, Simulation and Controlling of a Pumping System Powered by a Wind Energy Conversion System

At present, the energy consumption of the pumping unit represents the highest cost in operating a pumping system. Due to this reason, this paper proposes a reliable and robust solution for integrating a wind energy conversion system (WECS) into an already existing pumping system (PS), without being...

description At present, the energy consumption of the pumping unit represents the highest cost in operating a pumping system.
