Coordination of wind and pumped-storage hydro units for managing transmission security

This paper proposes a coordination methodology for wind and pumped-storage hydro (PS) units in the day-ahead operation planning of power systems. The proposed coordination is incorporated into the security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC). The results which include the intahour variability of real-time wind speed show the applicability of the proposed wind-PS coordination approach to the short-term power system operation.
