ATC determination incorporating wind generation

Renewable energy resources have been rapidly growing due to its sustainability, environmentally friendly and low-cost resources. Among the power system concepts, calculation of Available transfer capability (ATC) incorporating wind generation has been paid highly attention. However, the fluctuation characteristic of wind energy becomes an important issue. To calculate ATC with wind generation, method of rated system path and the relationship between the power output and the wind speed is combined. Normal probability distribution is used to model wind speed. During calculation ATC, there are several limits needs to be considered such as voltage bus limit and line thermal limit. This method has been employed to compute ATC on IEEE 5 bus test system.
