A Method to Assess the Regional Wind Power Fluctuation Based on the Meteorological Observing System

In China, the wind power fluctuation has become the main barrier for wind integration. The limitation of wind observation both in time and space makes it difficult for the planners to assess the wind power fluctuation over the country's territory. This paper proposes a method to profile the multi-regional wind power fluctuations based on the meteorological data obtained from the Goddard Earth Observing System. The result provides the regional grid planners a panoramic view of wind fluctuation over regional grids and the basis to investigate the synergy between wind power and other resources in the smart grid network.
