Two‐Step Clustering‐Based Equivalent Modeling of Large‐Scale Wind Farms for Enhanced Primary Frequency Regulation

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The focus on wind power frequency regulation has largely been on individual wind farms, which presents challenges in meeting the coordinated operation needs of multiple stations within large‐scale installations. To address issues of model simplification and accuracy, we propose a large‐scale wind farm equivalent modeling method based on ...

One‐Dimensional Finite Elements With Arbitrary Cross‐Sectional Displacement Fields

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces an unprecedented unified approach for developing structural theories with an arbitrary kinematic variable over the beam cross‐section. Each of the three displacement variables can be analyzed using an independent expansion function. Both the order of the expansion and the number of terms in each field can be any. That is,
