Reliability Evaluation of Power System Expansion Incorporating Wind Energy: A State-of-the-Art Review

摘要

With ever-increasing demand for electrical energy day by day, fast depletion in fossil fuels and concern for environment, it is the need of the hour to go for alternative means of generating electrical energy, i.e. renewable energy sources so as to bridge the gap between generation and demand and to reduce the impact of carbon emission by the conventional generation plants on the environment. Solar and wind are becoming a significant portion of renewable generation portfolios. Besides incorporating the non-conventional sources, its impact on the performance, stability and reliability are also the key aspects. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review pertaining to the reliability assessment incorporating wind power generation, modelling of wind generation firms, optimal sizing and location of wind firms. Energy storage system is included to smoothen the unpredictability and uncertain natures of wind generation.
