Well-Being Analysis of Wind Integrated Power Systems

The paper presents well-being analysis of wind integrated electric power generating systems. An approach is presented for calculating well-being indices which gives much faster results than previously published methods. The link between the unit commitment risk criterion (UCRC) and system healthy state probability (HSPC) is illustrated using two different test systems. The method should prove useful in the decision making process of choosing an appropriate UCRC. The proposed approach extends the application of probabilistic techniques in operating reserve evaluation and determination.
