Abstract

The characteristics of wind power result in unique challenges for system operators when integrating large penetrations of wind generation into power systems. This chapter discusses some of the power system operational challenges associated with large penetrations of wind generation, such as increased reserve requirements and the costs associated with increases in the variable operation of conventional generators. A number of power system optimization techniques with wind generation are discussed, namely the fuelsaver approach, deterministic optimization, rolling commitment and stochastic optimization. Also, a discussion of certain flexibility solutions which may reduce the system costs of increased wind penetration levels is provided.

Footnotes
1
On 22nd November 2009 Ireland achieved a world record of over 45 % of electricity demand produced from wind energy during the hours of 4 and 6 am while the installed wind capacity represented just 10 % of installed generation.
 
2
The issue of stochastic unit commitment with wind generation is discussed in detail in [58] and is summarized here.
 
3
More detailed information about the Scenario Tree Tool can be found in [66].
