An Enhanced Dispatch System for Wind Integration

The uncertainty of generation required to maintain system balancing has been growing significantly due to the increasing penetration of wind generation. To deal with such uncertainty, Transmission System Operators require more look-ahead and forecasting capabilities beyond real-time. This paper presents the design of an enhanced dispatch system to address the challenges posed by wind energy integration. With advanced wind power forecast, robust dispatch algorithm and strong wind event monitoring capability, the proposed system will provide adequate system ramping capability to cope with uncertain intermittent resources while maintaining system reliability in large grid operations.
