Abstract
The work presented in this paper aims to study the impact
of a range of penetration levels of distributed wind on
the operation of the electric power system at the
transmission level. This paper presents a case study on
the power system in Independent System Operator New
England. It is analyzed using PLEXOS, a commercial power
system simulation tool. The results show that increasing
the integration of distributed wind reduces total
variable electricity generation costs, coal- and
gas-fired electricity generation, electricity imports,
and CO2 emissions, and increases wind curtailment. The
variability and uncertainty of wind power also increases
the start-up and shutdown costs and ramping of most
conventional power plants.
