Secondary Reserve Dispatch Accounting for Wind Power Randomness and Spillage

Abstract

The joint operation of wind energy and traditional power plants has brought new challenges to the operation of power systems. In particular, reserve scheduling may need to be modified in order to accommodate increasing levels of intermittent and random wind power. In this panel we discuss some of the issues and possible solutions regarding reserve considering the wind power characteristics. Specifically, we will outline a methodology to include secondary reserve requirements in the day-ahead operations planning as a set of probabilistic constraints.
