The capacity value of a generator is the contribution that a given generator makes to generation system adequacy. Due to the variable and stochastic nature of wind, the modeling of wind generation in the same manner as ...
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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
Certain developments in the electricity sector may result in suboptimal operation of base-load generating units in countries worldwide. Despite the fact they were not designed to operate in a flexible manner, increasing ...
As wind generation begins to contribute significantly to power systems, the need arises to assess the impact of this new source of variable generation on the stability of the system. This work provides a detailed methodology ...
The growth of wind power as an electrical power generation resource has produced great benefits with reductions in emissions and the supply of zero cost fuel. It also has created
challenges for the operation of power ...
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 ...
