An Appropriate Wind Model for The Reliability Assessment of Incorporated Wind Power in Power Generation System

The use of renewable energy sources (RES) by many power grids companies around the world has increased significantly in recent years. The trend towards the use of RES is mainly due to ecological problems and rising fuel prices related to conventional power generation. Wind power is an approved source for power generation among renewable sources that makes a positive contribution to the global, social and economic environment. Today, wind turbine generator (WTG) is a mature, abundant, and eco-friendly power generation technology, and much of the electricity demand is supplied by wind. However, the uncertain nature of wind speed poses a variety of challenges for the planning and operation of power systems. One of the problems in increasing wind power can be seen in terms of assessment of power system reliability. This paper presents a reliability assessment model of power generation systems (PGS), including WTG, by using an analytical method. The presented model in this paper applied to the Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS). The methodology and results presented in this paper are intended to provide useful information to planners or developers seeking to assess the reliability of PGSs, including WTG
