Operations Requirements of Utilites With Wind Power Generation

Abstract
A computational method and the necessary wind speed data are presented in this paper for quantifying in a probabilistic framework the load- following, operating-reserve and unloadable-generation requirements for a utility with one or more spatially dispersed wind turbine clusters. Results of this method are valid for random atmospheric conditions, excluding significant atmospheric events such as storm fronts. An example illustrating the proposed method is included.
