The effect of spatial dispersion of wind power plants on the curtailment of wind power in the Greek power supply system

摘要: To meet the national target of 29% for electricity production from renewable energy sources by 2020 in Greece, effective implementation massive wind power installed capacity into supply system is required. In such a situation, absorption an important issue relatively small and weak as that which has limited existing interconnections with neighboring countries. The curtailment sometimes necessary autonomous systems large penetration. or strongly affected spatial dispersion installations. present paper, methodology estimating this effect presented applied Greece. method based on probability theory, makes use forecasting models to represent potential over any candidate area future farm installations country. Moreover, technical constraints imposed management, commitment plants load dispatch strategies are taken account maximize penetration levels while ensuring reliable operation system.
