Abstract:
A Monte Carlo simulation approach is used in
this paper to evaluate the impact of intermittent wind
generation on reliability evaluation of distribution system.
Taking into account the fluctuating nature of wind speed,
the random failures of generating units and recognized
dependencies, wind speed model, wind turbine generator
output model and load model are established. 2-
partameter Weibull probability distribution is used to
simulate hourly wind speeds values and the output of the
wind farm. A specific Monte Carlo simulation procedure is
described and a test system from the Roy Billinton Test
System is used to illustrate the method.
