Impact of the Variability of Wind
Power Plant Output
Wind power plant output varies with wind
resource
Cannot be dispatched like conventional power
plants
System operators cannot control the rate of
power decreases, i.e., ramp down due to falling
wind speeds
For ramping up, some manufacturers provide
the option of controlling rate of power increase

Modelling of Wind Farms
---------------------
Some of the modeling details/data considered:
- proprietary information by manufacturers
Need to move towards the development of:
- “standard models” for planning and operating
studies
