Optimal operation planning of wind farm using wind power forecasted data

In order to solve problems of global warming and depletion of energy resource, renewable energy systems such as wind generation is getting attention. This paper describes an optimal operation method to introduce the wind power forecasted data of the wind turbine generators (WTG). Moreover, the wind power forecasted data is considered its forecast error. The optimization purpose is to smooth the output power fluctuation of the wind farm (WF) and to obtain more benefit for electrical power selling. In the optimization of operation planning of WF, tabu search is used as the optimization method.
