Wind integration into various generation mixtures

Maddaloni, Jesse D.; Rowe, Andrew M.; Kooten, G. … - In: Renewable Energy 34 (2009) 3, pp. 807-814

A load balance model is used to quantify the economic and environmental effects of integrating wind power into three typical generation mixtures. System operating costs over a specified period are minimized by controlling the operating schedule of the existing power generating facilities for a...

Multi-objective optimization by learning automata

Liao, H.; Wu, Q. - In: Journal of Global Optimization 55 (2013) 2, pp. 459-487

This paper presents a novel method of multi-objective optimization by learning automata (MOLA) to solve complex multi-objective optimization problems. MOLA consists of multiple automata which perform sequential search in the solution domain. Each automaton undertakes dimensional search in the...

Approaching wind power forecast deviations with internal ex-ante self-balancing

Scharff, Richard; Amelin, Mikael; Söder, Lennart - In: Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 106-115

Short-term variations in wind power generation make real-time balancing of load and generation a more challenging task for the Transmission System Operator (TSO). One issue of interest that could facilitate the efficient integration of wind power is to shift larger parts of the balancing...

Large scale wind power integration in China: Analysis from a policy perspective

Zhang, Sufang; Li, Xingmei - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 16 (2012) 2, pp. 1110-1115

Between 2006 and 2010 the installed capacity of wind power in China has doubled and by 2010 China's cumulative installed capacity of wind power ranked the first in the world, surpassing the United States. However, the rapid expansion of installed capacity has not been matched by grid connection,...
