Investigation of disposable reserve power in a large-scale wind farm

The increase of wind energy development is reflected in the specific requirements for the connection of large wind farms to the transmission system including requirements for the control and interaction between the wind farm and the power system. It is necessary to investigate the power system stability and control with regard to wind power generation. When modeling the behavior of a complex large-scale wind park the wind model with wake effect is very important. The wind distribution among the wind turbines determines the power produced by each single wind plant and, at the same time, the fluctuation of the whole power received from the wind farm. This paper presents, with an example, the determination of the range of expected power generation and the possibility of its inclusion into the network control.
