Operation and Planning of Power Systems with Significant Wind Generation
Francisco D. Galiana – Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McGill University, Canada
This talk presents an overview of issues, either reported or of potential research interest, on the system-wide operation and planning of power systems with significant wind generation. Specifically, we review the challenges to account for wind power intermittence and randomness within traditional models such as short-term economic dispatch, unit commitment, and medium and long-term resource coordination. As well, the impact of wind power on the behaviour of electricity markets will be discussed.
