This study based on investigation for integration wind power into conventional power system with its impact on fossil fuel generators and their generation management. Wind power as environmental friendly energy source can reduce the operational cost of the system due to considering no cost for energizing the generator in comparing with fossil fuel generators. However due to unpredictable nature...

The increasing interest in exploiting renewable energy resources has introduced a new generation of energy conversion technologies including wind farms (WF) to the power systems. Previous studies of these WFs and their impacts on power systems have made new challenges emerge, which in turn, require detailed assessment for continuously increasing wind power penetration. Among these challenges, t...

In an interconnected power system, as a power load demand varies randomly both area frequency and tie-line power interchange also vary. The objectives of load frequency control (LFC) are to minimize the deviations in these variables (area frequency and tie-line power interchange) and to ensure their steady state errors to be zero. In this area of energy crisis, renewable energy is the most prom...

Over the last several years, there has been a nation-wide intensification of policies directed at increasing the level of renewable sources of electricity. These environmental policy changes have occurred against a backdrop of shifting economic regulation in power markets that has fundamentally redefined the mechanisms through which investors in power plants earn revenues. Rather than base paym...

The increase of renewable energy use in a power generation decreases the flexibility supply. intermittent and variable nature resources necessitates transmission system operator to prepare reserve generating case imbalance. Unfortunately, margins generators are often insufficient. To ensure balanced resilient system, surplus from must provide frequency support with essential number synchronous ...

Electricity production from renewable energy sources (RES) is being promoted worldwide as a way to decrease CO2 and pollutant emissions. Nowadays special regime generation in Spain corresponds to cogeneration, renewable and biomass (photovoltaic solar power, wind power, geothermal, small hydro plants, and biomass and waste power plants) and urban and mining waste. Some of these RES are highly i...

Integration of wind power plants into the existing isolated system presents challenges to power system operators. The problem is further complicated to the generation dispatch imposed by the presence of wind turbine generators (WTGs), owned by independent power producers (IPP) with a large penetration of dispatchable wind energy sources. An evolutionary simulated annealing (ESA) algorithm combi...

As an alternative to traditional fossil fuel extracted energy, wind energy has been acknowledged as one of the most important sources of renewable energies in the world. This clean and natural source of energy could be a key to solving the worldwide energy crisis with low environmental impact. The increased penetration of wind power into the power grids mean the impact of the wind turbines on t...

Model predictive control (MPC) is investigated as a control method for frequency control of power systems which are exposed to increasing wind power penetration. For such power systems, the unpredicted power imbalance can be assumed to be dominated by the fluctuations in produced wind power. An MPC is designed for controlling the frequency of wind-penetrated power systems, which uses the knowle...
