Cascading component failure can cause system-wide blackouts in power systems. Complex system analysis of the long term dynamics suggests that power transmission systems operate near a critical point. Here the effect of ...
In the analysis of time series of blackouts a power
law dependency of blackout size with respect to frequency has
been observed. It has been hypothesized that this behaviour is the
result of the power system operating ...
Increasing penetration of wind power on power
systems worldwide is resulting in the unconventional operation
of base-load generating units. These units which were originally
designed for operation at full output are ...
In this paper, the unit commitment and dispatch of a power system with and without a pumped storage unit is examined for increasing levels of installed wind power, from 17% of total energy to 80% of total energy generated ...
As power systems evolve to incorporate greater
penetrations of variable renewables, the demand for flexibility
within the system is increased. Combined Cycle Gas Turbines
(CCGTs) are traditionally considered as inflexible ...

Capacity credits are widely used to quantify the
ability of different generating technologies to support demand.
Most practical capacity credit calculations are based on detailed
risk modelling, however a wide range of ...
Electricity markets are currently evolving to accommodate large scale penetration of wind generation. In this research, potential changes to the classification and role of wind
generators in the Single Electricity Market ...
