Earthquake-Resistant Design Concepts
This introduction to the NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions is intended to provide these interested individuals with a readily understandable explanation of the intent of the earthquake
A wind pressure design method is needed. The flexibility of PV panels and the structures themselves must be better understood. Research by the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) formed the basis for key provisions of ASCE 7-16. See the following white papers for research on seismic design, wind design, and gravity design.
Second, we presented the idea of including resilience in the design phase of a hybrid power plant. Resilience has been an topic of increasing interest as renewable energy continues to increase. Often, resilience is considered from an operations point of view, to be able to quickly recover from disruptive events.
As shown previously, it appears that this plant design is also mostly driven by the minimum power constraints and not by the objective. The optimal plant has both wind and solar to act as complementary resource. At low power requirements, the wind to solar ratio almost one to one.
Although it is presented in this paper as resilience applied to a wind–solar-storage hybrid plant, a similar problem formulation could be applied to single technology or hybrid power plants with different technologies, such as wind or solar coupled with a traditional, dispatchable generation source such as natural gas.
