Some of the design and methodology considerations in wind resource assessment

Stochastic Real-Time Scheduling of Wind-Thermal Generation Units in an Electric Utility

“…Dynamic economic dispatch (DED), which is an extension of ELD for a given operation horizon, takes into account the connection of different operating times by considering ramp-rate constraints of thermal generation units. In recent decade, several economic and environmental reasons motivate increasing the share of renewable technologies in electricity generation [5]. However the inherent uncertainties associated with the operation these energy resources and the dynamic constraints like ramp-rate limits make the DED problem more sophisticated.…”

On the management of wind power intermittency

“…Most researchers are attempting to find an efficient tool to predict the wind power with high degree of accuracy. These tools are categorized into four groups based on their inputs: 1) Physical approach that uses meteorological and topographical information, and also technical features of wind turbines, 2) Statistically exploiting explanatory variables and online measurement such as recursive least squares, 3) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Method, 4) Combination of three above-mentioned approaches [46]. The simulation approach highly depends on the number of scenarios.…”

Binary PSO-based dynamic multi-objective model for distributed generation planning under uncertainty

“…There are five major factors that motivate increasing the share of DG units in electricity generation: electricity market liberalization, development in DG technology, constraints on the construction of new transmission lines, reliability enhancement [2] and concerns about the environment [3]. DG may also offer distribution network operators (DNOs) more diverse, flexible, and secure options for managing their electricity systems to benefit customers [4].…”
