RELIABILITY OF ELECTRIC POWER FROM WIND: A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH
With the phenomenal global growth of wind farms feeding electric power into utility grids, their impact on the overall system operation is becoming increasingly important at several levels. The stochastic nature of wind and consequently of the electrical output has significant reliability implications for system operation and planning. Preliminary long-range planning will benefit by the availability of simpler models, to be followed by detailed analyses and studies. This paper presents a simple approach to evaluate the reliability of the electrical output of wind-electric conversion systems (WECS) that could be used in the early stages of planning with wind energy in the generation mix. The approach considers the nature of wind and its availability, output characteristics of typical wind-electric conversion systems and hardware failure models.
