An assessment of the impact of wind generation on system frequency control

Doherty, Ronan ; Mullane, Alan ; Nolan, Gillian (Lalor) ; Burke, Daniel J. ; Bryson, Alexander ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2010-02)

Rising wind generation penetrations and the distinctive inertial characteristics of associated turbine technology will impact system frequency control. While wind production will displace conventional synchronous ...
Maximizing firm wind connection to security constrained transmission networks

Burke, Daniel J. ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2010-05)

Prudent use of existing transmission capacity could be achieved by an optimal allocation of wind capacity to distinct transmission nodes. The statistical interdependency of geographically separate wind sites and the ...
System-wide inertial response from fixed speed and variable speed wind turbines

Ruttledge, Lisa ; Flynn, Damian (IEEE, 2011-07-24)

As wind penetration levels on power systems increase worldwide, the dynamic characteristics of these systems are changing due to the displacement of synchronous generation. One issue, of particular concern, is the resulting ...
Unit commitment for systems with significant wind penetration

Tuohy, Aidan ; Meibom, Peter ; Denny, Eleanor ; O'Malley, Mark (IEEE, 2009-05)

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 ...
