The inherent variability and uncertainty of wind power generation is a major issue for countries attempting to harness large quantities of wind-based renewable energy. Such properties of wind make optimal balancing of demand and generation a much more complex task. Clearly the flexibility of thermal plant in the electrical power system is of key importance, especially in smaller systems with high...
The synergy between electrically heated buildings and wind power generation is analyzed in this paper, with a view to providing lower cost heating and a demand side management resource that will facilitate the growth of renewable generation. The paper begins by demonstrating the relationship between electricity price and wind generation based upon recent market data from Ireland. Thermal parameters...
The main contribution of this paper is based on a practical investigation of the storage capabilities of underfloor heating from an electrically operated heat pump. A series of experiments have been conducted and results are presented of the electric power consumption of the heat pump, floor temperature, room temperature, outside temperature and thermal time constants. The Wilmar planning tool has...
Wind power generation has expanded rapidly in the past two decades and supplies 20% of Denmarkpsilas electricity, and 5 - 7% in Germany, Spain and Ireland. It is likely that Ireland will be the first of these countries to reach the 10% level, probably by 2010. The Irish grid does not have the benefit of strong interconnection with neighbouring grids, as is the case with Denmark. If wind power is to...
An ensemble wind generation forecasting technique is described in this paper, based on a fusion of publicly available wind forecasts, persistence hold techniques and statistical methods. The forecasting method is applied to the Northern Irish power system where increasing capacity of installed wind generation makes forecast profiles an essential tool. The analysis is based on 6 months of wind generation...
