Statistical Methods for the Assessment of Wind-Power Integration into the Electricity-Supply System

摘要

The results are summarized of studies on system integration problems of wind power, conducted at ECN within the framework of the Dutch National Wind Research Program. Statistical methods, determining power supply reliability, were used to evaluate the conventional capacity that can be displaced by wind power. Characteristics of two standard wind turbines were used, together with wind data of four Dutch weather stations. System demand and conventional generating plant relevant to the Dutch grid were considered in the calculations. A statistical method was also used to point out trends with respect to possible fuel savings due to wind power integration and desirable changes in the conventional plant mix. (ERA citation 07:043897)
