Modelling utility‐scale wind power plants. Part 1: Economics

摘要: As the worldwide use of wind turbine generators continues to increase in utility-scale applications, it will become increasingly important assess economic and reliability impact these intermittent resources. Although utility industry United States appears be moving towards a restructured environment, basic issues continue relevant companies involved with electricity generation. This paper is first two that address modeling approaches results obtained several case studies research projects at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). addresses associated production from include large-scale power plants. An part this discussion role unit commitment dispatch production-cost models. includes overviews comparisons prevalent met hods, including applied variety electric utilities. The second discusses various methods assessing capacity credit reliability-based performed NREL.
