Abstract

Large scale penetration of intermittent wind power may result in base-load cycling capacity (BLCC) shortage problem, which poses an adverse impact on secure operation of power systems. The integration scale of wind power is heavily relevant to the BLCC adequacy. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the BLCC adequacy of power systems. Using probabilistic production simulation technology, a BLCC adequacy evaluation method considering the forced outage of conventional generation units is developed in this paper. In this method, several BLCC adequacy indexes are defined, namely the probability of BLCC shortage index, the expectation of BLCC shortage index, and the expectation of BLCC margin index. A scenario reduction technique is employed to tackle the uncertainty of wind speed. Numerical examples are presented to verify the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed method. This work is helpful to determine the appropriate wind power integration scale in power systems.
