Abstract
A major issue encountered in the use of many of the renewable energy resources for the production of electric power is the variability of the resource itself. This paper presents the results of a dynamic simulation of the long term power system responses to changes in the load and generation patterns resulting from significant penetrations of renewable resource technologies. The renewable technology selected for this study is a large wind farm with a total output of 500 MW added to the 1979 generation base of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power system.Keywords
