Under electricity market operation, the competitiveness of wind power generation may be reduced because of the stochastic nature of the wind resource, which often results in increased regulation costs. The negative impact associated to the stochastic nature of the wind resource may be reduced by coupling the wind farm with energy storage facilities, thus constituting a virtual power plant. In this...
This paper introduces a method for designing a standalone photovoltaic system to improve the load point reliability, extend the operation life, and minimize the design cost. This approach examines the impacts of solar panel sizes, tilt angles and battery volumes toward load point reliability, as well as the expected system life, by using real insolation data in a given location and random load burdens...
This paper describes a probabilistic approach for assessing the criticality of bulk transmission system components in the de-regulated electricity market. The proposed method is based on the analysis performed by the Hydro One probabilistic composite system evaluation program and use of a simplified reliability model for the transmission system network. The method accounts for random failures of system...
This paper presents an evaluation technique incorporating the impact of the diversified demand side load shift on the system reliability and nodal reliabilities of restructured power systems. In this technique, demand and price correlations are represented using a demand-price elasticity matrix which consists of self/cross-elasticity coefficients. The diversity of customers is represented using different...
Considerable research has been devoted on the development of decision-making models suitable for tackling decision problems integrating some amount of uncertainty. However, such approaches are either problem-specific, either too general to suit certain problems. In this paper we propose an approach for performing decision-making under uncertainty suitable for problems in which decisions must be made...
Detailed maintenance modeling is indispensable for utilities to determine optimum maintenance policy. Traditional reliability studies assume that transition rates or probabilities in Markov models are accurate. However, in reality, reliability data is either insufficient or mixed with uncertainty. This paper intends to utilize fuzzy set theory to represent parameters for Markov and semi-Markov processes...
