Composite Reliability Assessment of Power Systems with Large Penetration of Renewable Sources

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Reliability and Risk Evaluation of Wind Integrated Power Systems

Abstract

The constant increase in oil prices and the concern over the reduction of gas emissions causing the greenhouse effect favor the creation of policies to encourage the production of energy through renewable sources. The recent restructuring of the electricity sector has introduced new concepts such as power market, transmission open access, cogeneration, independent production, etc., which enabled the decentralized energy generation, strengthening such policies. Thus, non-conventional energy sources, namely wind power, mini-hydro, solar, and cogeneration (e.g., biomass), start having a significant contribution in the energy production matrix. However, if the volatility of the available capacity from such sources is not properly considered, the decisions taken in power systems expansion and/or operation planning can severely endanger the reliability of the power supply. Thus, systems planners and operators will require new computational tools capable of coping with these characteristics, in addition to the recent power system market implementation in a deregulated environment.
