Evaluation of expected energy generation in multi-area interconnected systems with renewable energy generating units

A methodology to evaluate the expected energy generation (EEG) of multi area interconnected systems with renewable energy generating units as well as conventional fossil fuel based units has been presented in this paper. Renewable energy generating units such as solar and wind generators are practical alternative to meet the huge electrical energy demand with minimum cost. Extending the segmentation method of evaluating EEG the method also evaluates expected export/import among the electric utilities working in the interconnected system. The availability of renewable energy generator that varies during different time of the day has been taken into account.
