Abstract

This paper addresses the market design implications of implementing ultra high (up to 42%) wind energy penetration in an isolated market. High wind penetration is becoming an increasing feature of many markets and the impact to such markets will need to be analyzed. In this paper, the single electricity market (SEM) market design is analyzed in the context of increasing wind penetration and given the results of the recently published all island grid study which indicated that ultra high wind capacity could be accommodated subject to certain key assumptions.
