Abstract
Wind power use has grown significantly in recent years.
As power system planners, investors, and other
stakeholders evaluate the development of wind power
plants, many questions about wind power plant operational
characteristics have arisen. These questions range from
asking whether wind power plants require storage, to how
fast can wind power plants' output fall to zero. Recent
experience in operating power systems with increasing
levels of wind power, along with a significant body of
analysis, has provided answers to many of these
questions. In this chapter, we discuss many of these key
questions and answers drawing on international experience
and analysis of wind power plant operations.
