Smart dispatch for grid integration of wind generation

Due to the increasing penetration of wind generation, the uncertainty of generation required to maintain system balancing has been growing significantly. To deal with such uncertainty, Transmission System Operators require more look-ahead and forecasting capabilities beyond real-time. In this paper a new dispatch system to address the challenges posed by wind energy integration. With advanced demand forecast, wind power forecast, dynamic and robust dispatch algorithm and flexible system configuration, the proposed system will provide adequate system ramping capability to cope with uncertain intermittent resources while maintaining system reliability in large grid operations.
