Equitable wind power scheduling in power system with multiple wind farms

Increasing penetration of wind power into the generation mix has necessitated the integration of wind farms in the daily planning and dispatching operations of independent system operators. This paper models a simple and intuitive cost function that can dispatch power among multiple wind farms in an economically equitable manner. The cost function is used in an optimal power flow problem for the IEEE 14 bus system with three wind farms. The results indicate that the proposed cost function can prevent the underutilization of certain wind farms due to their location while satisfying the system operating constraints.
