Enumerative Technique for Modeling Wind Power Variations in Production Costing

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Production cost, generation expansion, and reliability models are used extensively by utilities in the planning process. Most models do not provide adequate means for representing the full range of potential variation in wind power plants. In order to properly account for expected variation in wind-generated electricity with these models, we describe an enumerated probablistic approach that isperformed outside the production cost model, compare it with a reduced enumerated approach, and present some selected utility results. Our technique can be applied to any model, and can considerably reduce the number of model runs as compared to the full enumerated approach. We use both a load duration curve model and a chronological model to measure wind plant capacity credit, and also presentsome other selected results.
