Electricity Generation Reliability in a Power System Including Renewable Energy Sources
Journal Title: Acta Energetica - Year 2016, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents methods of including renewable energy sources in power system reliability analyses. The focus is on solar power plants. A method of primary energy availability modelling for such sources was proposed. Methods of including solar power plants in power system reliability calculations are presented. The impact of new photovoltaic sources on electricity generation reliability in an IEEE RTS-79 test system was examined. The Capacity Credit was de-termined for these plants, owing to which their capability to cover load was examined.
