    Abstract: Many autonomous power systems are powered by diesel generators alone, which results in greater operating costs than interconnected grids. It is therefore desirable to integrate renewable energy sources such as wind into these mini grids. However, due to the fluctuating power generation from the wind resource, the varying load profile and the relati... Show More
