The interaction of wind power generation with electricity demand in the context of a small grid

An investigation into the integration of the intermittent electricity output of a hypothetical wind farm in Malta with the actual electricity demand for one particular year is reported. Available hourly wind data from three sites for 2001 were analysed. The probability density of the load resulting from the reduction of the renewable output from the electricity demand on an hourly basis was determined by a convolution method. The calculated shift in the load duration extends over the whole spectrum of power demand. The equivalent power at the most favourable site was considerably higher than the nominal value commonly in use. In view of the limited availability of sites for wind farms in Malta rotor designs better suited to the lower wind speed regime inland should be considered.
