X Y TC

X and Y resembles the two geographically isolated utility systems but electrically interconnected by a tie line with capacity TC. Each system is having a projected hourly load pattern with generating unit (SOU/JOU) to meet its own demand first and then they can export some of the generated energy if they have excess and the other system has demand.

Renewable Energy Sources in the Interconnected System

Renewable Energy Sources in the Interconnected System

• Renewable energy sources are driving a great deal of research effort in different dimension in power system. It is primarily due to the minimum cost of energy generation and environmental friendliness.

• Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, wave are few example of energy sources that are feasible alternative to the conventional fossil fuel burning electric generating unit.

• Inclusion of renewable generating unit to harvest solar/wind energy requires special attention to evaluate expected energy generation (EEG) as its availability is random (depending on the wind/solar profile).

• Wind profile is affected by the seasonal, weather and hourly variation of wind. Similar characteristics has been observed for solar irradiance.

The evaluation Procedure of the expected energy The evaluation Procedure of the expected energy generated by a unitgenerated by a unit

1. Evaluate the expected export. Modify the demands of the exporting and the importing systems as well as the tie line capacity

2. Evaluate the expected share transfer from a JOU to the system where the unit is not located. Accordingly modify only the tie line capacity. For conventional unit this step is not necessary.

3. For unit with renewable (wind/solar) energy source modify the capacity according to hourly generation data and follow the above two steps used for conventional units. For the sake of simplicity we consider our renewable generation unit is considered as separately owned.

4. Obtain the expected unserved energy. If the committed unit is a JOU the evaluation of unserved energies of both the systems is required because both of them generate energy.

5. Convolve the unit [4,5].

6. Recalculate the unserved energy after the convolution of the unit.

7. Calculate the EEG of each unit which is the deference of two unserved energies evaluated before and after the convolution.

Export or ImportExport or ImportExport or ImportExport or Import1) Export Using Tie Line:

A system will export to the other interconnected system to meet their excess demand only when the exporting system has surplus capacity and residual tie line capacity permits the export.

2) Export Without Using Tie Line:

Since the JOU is located in system Y the export from the share of system X to system Y does not require the tie line. The amount of export depends

on the expected unserved demand of system Y and the portion of share, which has not been transferred to system X, and it may be evaluated as

the method mentioned in the previously reported results*

For unit with renewable energy source modify the capacity according to hourly generation data.

LOLP EvaluationLOLP Evaluation LOLP EvaluationLOLP Evaluation

• Follow the step 1-5 mentioned before.• Recalculate the unserved energy after the convolution

of the unit. If the unserved energy is less than or equal to zero then that segment is already served and will not include in LOLP calculation. Sum of the zero-th moment of probability of all the segment where unserved energy

after convolving the generator is greater than or equal to zero is our LOLP.

Wind GenerationWind Generation Wind GenerationWind Generation

• The energy output from a wind turbine depends on the wind profile. If the wind speed is too low or too high then the wind generators are out of service. For that reason the availability of the generator depends on the wind profiles that are useable for electrical generation.

• Also the output power varies linearly with the wind speed and the probability distribution function (PDF) of the wind generators availability. The PDF follows the Weibull distribution.

• We consider wind generators having multi states of output powers and probability of being available.

ConclusionsConclusionsConclusionsConclusions• A model has been developed to evaluate the reliability and

expected energy generation of a two area interconnected system with wind generation.

• The model also can successfully include the stochastic behavior of wind/solar generating units. This will give designer

or system planners better ideas of how to include renewable generators for reliable and economic expansion of

interconnected networks. • The results show that even though renewable generators are

economic but that will add more uncertainty while meeting the demand. Proper scheduling of generation is required to

maximize the use of the wind energy resource.
