Optimal reserve requirements for integrating intermittent wind energy resources

Limitations of conventional power generation reserves and environmental restrictions have encouraged the adoption of natural wind energy resources to be implemented for electricity generation. However, the problem of renewable energy is the uncertainty associated with its integration to the power gr...

The objective of this project was to estimate the optimal level of operating reserves for any power system that is having an integrated intermittent Wind energy as a source for electric generation.
