Many countries have ambitious plans to increase wind energy penetration levels in the near future. With a low capacity factor and even lower capacity credit, wind power is a fundamentally diffferent power generation source than conventional plant. Traditional planning methodologies focusing solely on the impact of turbine capacity's impact on line flow worst-case scenarios may unneccesarily impede...
A production cost simulation model for the North-Western part of the UCTE system is developed in this paper. Information from various sources was gathered and combined to produce an integrated representative model of the areas under study. Specifically, the technical and economical limits of wind power integration within the power system are highlighted, by means of observing and analyzing various...
The growth of environmental concerns, and the rapid increase in electrical power demand, increased interest in renewable energy. Wind energy is a clean, cheap, abundant source that could be utilized in rural areas. However, continuous variation of wind speed results in severe power quality problems, especially in a stand-alone village network. This paper proposes a cheap and robust FACTS based dynamic...
Renewable energy sources have the ability to provide electric power in rural areas whenever available. Although it is cheap, clean and abundant, the variation of output power with the variation of wind speed can cause significant power quality issues, especially in the case of a standalone generation system. This paper studies a network presenting a rural load, such as a small village, fed from a...
Wind energy has taken off into a new peak in terms of its popularity among other new generation technologies. The socio-economic and environmental benefits impact the general population. A low cost of energy along with grid compatibility can be achieved due to mass production technology, power electronics advancement, and intelligent controllability. This paper attempts to shed the light on many aspects...
Many utilities have performed wind integration studies to determine the costs attributed to wind's inherent variability and unpredictability. Changes to the operational strategies of existing generation infrastructure also contribute to the costs of integrating wind power into a power system. A valid operational strategy considered herein is the option of wind generation curtailment as a decision...
In this paper we present a module-based modeling of electricity infrastructure with special emphasis on the wind energy integration. Each (group of) wind generator(s) is defined as a module and is represented in terms of its local variables and the interconnection variables between the module and the system network. Therefore, it is possible to specify the performance sub-objectives of each module...
Implementation of transmission access arrangements under BETTA, in the UK, has encouraged applications for offers to connect generation to the grid. Network operators have consequently been presented with a vast amount of applications before end of 2004. Boosted by governmental targets of securing 10% of electricity generation from renewable resources by 2010 and 20% by 2020 and widespread public...
