Wind power forecasting is one of the cheapest and direct methods to alleviate negative impacts on power system reliability and stability from intermittent wind generation. Compared with deterministic forecasts, probabilistic forecasts can provide additional information concerning wind uncertainty for economic operation and efficient trading. However, it is far from ideal with respect to the accuracy,...
Availability of wind energy which differs across locations primarily determines the appropriate location for installing windfarms. However, the grid location of windfarms must always be considered in an attempt to accurately quantify the benefits which can be achieved from windfarms during their lifetime operation to the supply network. The value of wind power is significantly affected by their penetration...
This paper compares and contrasts the benefits from dynamic and non-dynamic demand management schemes in domestic sector for more effective wind power utilization. Non-dynamic demand management by shifting the demand from peak periods to off peak periods mitigates the issues associated with demand variations. In dynamic demand management, load by responding to wind generation output's variations will...
In recent years, environmental concerns have significantly increased the pressure for cleaner and more efficient generation of electricity. In the UK and some European countries, there are requirements to produce a certain amount of electricity from renewable generation. Wind power is expected to contribute significantly to the renewable energy targets owing to advancements in wind technologies, falling...
While wind generation is fast proving to be a valuable option in combating so-called greenhouse effects, hidden costs exist. Extra costs due to additional reserve capacity as well as inefficiencies during conventional plant operation are often ignored. This article analyses wind power production figures for the UK and suggests that economically efficient storage devices could be used to mitigate the...
