High Capacity Factor Wind Energy Systems
Wind generated electricity can be fundamentally transformed from an intermittent resource to a baseload power supply. For the case of long distance transmission of wind electricity, this change can be achieved at a negligible increase or even a decrease in the per unit cost of electricity. The economic and technical feasibility of this process can be illustrated by studying the example of a win...
متن کاملComparison of Three Methods for Wind Turbine Capacity Factor Estimation
Three approaches to calculating capacity factor of fixed speed wind turbines are reviewed and compared using a case study. The first "quasiexact" approach utilizes discrete wind raw data (in the histogram form) and manufacturer-provided turbine power curve (also in discrete form) to numerically calculate the capacity factor. On the other hand, the second "analytic" approach employs a continuous...
متن کاملMeasuring Wind Plant Capacity Value
Electric utility planners and wind energy researchers pose a common question: What is the capacity value of a wind plant? Tentative answers, which can be phrased in a variety of ways, are based on widely varying definitions and methods of calculation. From the utility's point of view, a resource that has no capacity value also has a reduced economic value. Utility planners must be able to quant...
متن کاملAssessing capacity value of wind power
This article is a summary of a review journal article describing some of the recent research into the capacity value of wind power. With the worldwide increase in wind power during the past several years, there is increasing interest and significance regarding its capacity value. This has a direct influence on the amount of other (non-wind) capacity that is needed in future power systems. Recen...
متن کاملCapacity factor prediction and planning in the wind power generation industry
The common practice to calculate wind generation capacity values relies more on heuristic approximations than true system estimations. In this paper we proposed a more accurate method. In the first part of our analysis, a Monte Carlo simulation was created based on Markov chains to provide an independent estimate of the true behavior of wind farm capacity value as a function of system penetrati...
