Abstract :
This paper analyzes the behavior of the wind and examines the impact of varying levels of wind penetration on the ancillary services and unit commitment costs for conventional oil-fired generation for an isolated system. The application is based on data for the island of Crete. Three years of minute-by-minute telemetered load, wind speed, and wind generation data were deployed. The study also analyzes the operational impact of curtailing excess wind for security purposes.
