Operational Reserve Assessment Considering Wind Power Fluctuations in Power Systems

Discussions on innovative criteria, operation strategies, and assessment tools are important insights when monitoring the security of supply considering renewable power sources for the years to come. In order to deal with the power fluctuations that come from wind uncertainties, this chapter explores a probabilistic methodology based on the chronological Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) to evaluate the long-term reserve requirements of generating systems considering wind energy sources. A new alternative to assess the power amount needs to adequately meet all assumed deviations is presented. Case studies with the IEEE-RTS 96 generating systems and some planning configurations of the Portuguese and Spanish generating systems are presented and discussed.
