Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to describe, review and compare some methods that are currently used for calculation of wind power capacity credit and for using the results for economic analysis. The methods to be studied are the conventional method based on equivalent firm capacity and the method denoted "secured capacity" used in the German dena study. The economic analysis concerning the capacity cost will also be analyzed.
