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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
