Due to varying and intermittent nature of wind resource, grid connected wind farms pose significant technical challenges to power grid on power quality and voltage stability. Wind farm Q-V characteristic curve at the point of interconnection (POI) can offer valuable information for voltage control actions and provide essential indication about voltage stability. Data driven analytics is a promising approach to determine characteristics of a large complex system, physical model of which is difficult to obtain. In this paper, the data driven analytics is used to determine Q-V curve of grid connected wind farms based on measurement data recorded at the POI. Different curve fitting models, such as Polynomial, Gaussian and Rational, are evaluated and best fit is determined based on different graphical and numerical evaluation metrics. A case study is conducted using field measurement data at two grid connected wind farms currently in operation in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is found that the Gaussian (degree 2) model describes the Q-V relationship most accurately for the two wind farms. The obtained functions and processed data can be used in the voltage controller design. The plotted QV curve can also be used to determine the reactive margin at the POI for voltage stability evaluation. As a generic method, the proposed approach can be employed to determine Q-V characteristic curve of any grid connected large wind farms.

The ability to register image data to a common coordinate system is a critical feature of virtually all imaging studies that require multiple subject analysis, combining single subject data from multiple modalities, or both. However, in spite of the abundance of literature on the subject and the existence of several variants of registration algorithms, their practical utility remains problematic, as commonly acknowledged even by developers of these methods because the complexity of the problem has resisted a general, flexible, and robust theoretical and computational framework. To address this issue, we present a new registration method that is similar in spirit to the current state-of-the-art technique of diffeomorphic mapping, but is more general and flexible. The method utilizes a Hamiltonian formalism and constructs registration as a sequence of symplectomorphic maps in conjunction with a novel phase space regularization based on the powerful entropy spectrum pathways (ESP) framework. The main advantage of the ESP regularized symplectomorphic approach versus the standard approach of coordinates-only diffeomorphic mapping lies in use of a common metric that remains valid even with image dependent regularization. Moreover, the fusion of the Hamiltonian framework with the ESP theory goes beyond just providing an alternative spatially varying smoothing strategy-it provides an efficient and straightforward way to combine multiple modalities. The method is demonstrated on the three different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities routinely used for human neuroimaging applications by mapping between high resolution anatomical (HRA) volumes, medium resolution diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI) and HRA volumes, and low resolution functional MRI (fMRI) and HRA volumes. The typical processing time for high quality mapping ranges from less than a minute to several minutes on a modern multi core CPU for typical high resolution anatomical ( 2563 voxels) MRI volumes.
