Wind power is highly variable and partly unpredictable and therefore energy systems of the future have to cope with increased variability and stochasticity. The paper describes the use of a novel stochastic programming model to assess the impact of increased wind power generation on electricity systems.
This WILMAR model takes explicitly the stochastic behavior of wind generation and the forecast errors into account. Also a detailed modeling of power plant, grid and market characteristics is performed. WILMAR thus allows to assess the impact of increased wind generation on reserve needs and usage, power plant operation and system cost.
