As the penetration of variable renewable generation increases in power systems worldwide, planning for the effects of variability will become more important. Traditional capacity adequacy planning techniques have been ...
This paper discusses the connection policies adopted to facilitate the large number of wind farms seeking access to the Irish power system. A key feature is a grouped connection offer process that provides certainty for ...
Long-term power system planning is beset by a
trade-off between detail and scope: The chosen approach usually lies somewhere between modeling a great many generation
portfolios coarsely and very few in a more detailed ...
The penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing on distribution networks
across the world. Non-firm access to the network is now being proposed as a cost effective way to facilitate DG. However, concerns remain ...
The stochastic nature of wind alters the unit commitment and dispatch problem. By accounting for this uncertainty when scheduling the system, more robust schedules are produced, which should, on average, reduce expected ...
Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing in penetration on power systems across the world. In rural areas, voltage rise limits the permissible penetration levels of DG. Another increasingly important issue is the impact ...
As integration of variable generation continues to grow rapidly in power systems globally, system planners are seeking new tools to understand the role of variable output generators and the challenges experienced with their ...
Power systems are planned such that they have
adequate generation capacity to meet the load, according to a defined reliability target. The increase in the penetration of wind generation in recent years has led to a ...
The distributed generation (DG) plant mix connected to any network section has a considerable impact on the total amount of DG energy exported and on the amount of losses
incurred on the network. A new method for the ...
The introduction of distributed generation (DG) onto distribution networks has a significant effect on losses. This effect cannot be characterised as detrimental or beneficial but is dependent on the allocation of DG on ...
