Utilization of Wind Turbines for Upregulation of Power Grids

This work considers the use of wind turbines for aiding upregulation of an electrical grid, by employing temporary overproduction with respect to available power. We present a simple model describing a turbine and show how the possible period of overproduction can be maximized by solving a series of convex problems, where the load is distributed among several turbines in a farm. Thereafter, we present an optimization scheme that guarantees a lower limit for the overproduction period and subsequently propose an adaptive implementation that is robust against parameter uncertainties.
