Abstract
This chapter focuses on the wind integration studies -
what is studied and how the studies are made. The chapter
is subdivided into sections covering the main set-up for
the studies, methodologies and results. A look on
recommended practices and future work is made. Wind
integration studies look at and how the variability and
uncertainty of wind power will impact the reserves that
power systems carry as well as scheduling and efficiency
of other power plants. Impacts on the transmission grid
adequacy and power adequacy (capacity value of wind
power) can also be assessed. Often only wind integration
costs are assessed, while the benefits of wind power,
mainly through reducing the fossil fuel consumption and
emissions in power systems can also be estimated. The
main set-up of the studies will have a crucial impact on
the results. In future trends like, use of demand side
management will impact the wind integration study
results.
