System benefits of coordinating wind power and hydropower in a deregulated market

چکیده
New additions of wind energy in the Nordic electricity market has been studied using the EMPS model. A scenario for year 2010 with CO2-tax and a total of 16 TWh of wind energy according to national targets have been included. The study focuses on the effect of changes in production scheduling imposed by new additions of wind energy under operation of a deregulated market. As a result, the import/export balance between the countries change in favor of exports to Finland and Germany. CO2-reductions caused by wind energy is estimated to be 540 tC/GWh of wind energy generated for the 2010 scenario. The main CO2-reductions take place in Germany and Finland as the result of wind energy expansion in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The energy value of wind power of the Nordic hydro-thermal deregulated market is estimated to be 7% higher than the average spot price in the 2010 scenario.

Effects of Wind Power plants on Energy Price and Power Systems Reliability in Imperfect Competition Electricity Market
The benefits of wind power generation have led to an ever-increasing expansion of wind farms around the world. The low cost of production and the environmental benefits of wind farms are some of the main reasons for using wind energy. On the other hand, uncertainty costs in the production and control of the output of wind turbines are among the problems that are being encountered for electricit...

Deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power systems reliability assessment and enhancement. In this paper, generation reliability is considered, and a method for its assessment using intelligent systems is proposed. Also, because of power market and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, Monte Carlo Simulation is used for reliability evaluation. Generation r...
متن کاملShort Term Hydro Power Planning Coordinated with Wind Power in Areas with Congestion Problems
In this paper a day-ahead planning algorithm for a multi-reservoir hydropower system coordinated with wind power is developed. Coordination applies to real situations, where wind power and hydropower are owned by different utilities, sharing the same transmission lines, though hydropower has priority for transmission capacity. Coordination is thus necessary to minimize wind energy curtailments ...

Reactive power management plays an essential role in the secure operation of the power system as an ancillary service. Although in electricity markets, the particular attention is paid to active power, the reactive power also plays an important on total generation costs of electricity. On the other hand, as it is mainly confined to local consumption, to avoid market power and maintain the se...

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...
