Abstract
Larger shares of wind power in power system increase the
need for system services, so called Ancillary Services.
The participation to system services from wind power
plants will be more and more beneficial for both the
system and the wind power producers. This paper presents
a summary of frequency support ancillary services markets
existing in several European countries with a viewpoint
of possibilities of wind power to participate in them.
With the uncertainty of wind power forecasts, an
economical market operation requires quite short gate
closures and possibilities to small bid sizes, separately
for up and down regulation services. A summary of the
current procurement and requirements of several countries
for frequency support services is presented. In order to
assess the role of wind power in the frequency support
services markets, a simple approach to estimate the size
of future markets for balancing markets is made. Possible
role of wind power in these markets in the future is
discussed.
