2005-02 Operation of Power Systems with Increased Wind Power Penetration
October 12-14, 2005

Objectives

  Global installed wind energy capacity has increased from 2,500 MW in 1992 to over 40,000 MW at the beginning of 2004 at an annual growth rate of nearly 30%. Over 75% of this capacity has been installed in Europe. Characteristic of the wind power growth in Europe is the fact that in 1997, the European Commission had set as a target to see 40,000 MW of capacity to be installed, as late as 2010. Industry estimates now suggest that 75,000 MW will be installed by this time, generating approximately 167 TWh per year.
Penetration levels in electricity production have reached 20% in Denmark, and about 5% in Germany and Spain. The North-German state of Schleswig Holstein has 1,800 MW of installed capacity, enough to meet 30% of the region’s total electricity demand, while in Navarra 50% of consumption is met by wind power. In Crete, wind power penetration has exceeded instantaneously 40%. It is clear that this level of wind power penetration introduces considerable complexities in the power system operation due to the intermittent nature of wind. Economic Scheduling functions are based on the prediction of demand that has to be satisfied and the additional uncertainty in available generation capacity creates obvious difficulties with direct economic effects. This calls for new techniques in scheduling power system operation, i.e. unit commitment and economic dispatch need to be revisited. Reliability evaluation and on-line dynamic security assessment become even more important. Intermittency makes participation of wind power in open markets a challenging problem. Finally, the economic evaluation of wind power needs to be assessed.

In this course the following issues will be addressed:
• Overview of Wind Power in Europe
• Wind Power Forecasting
• Dynamic Security
• Unit Commitment and Economic Dispatch
• Reliability
• Connection Issues
• Dynamic Analysis
• Utility Experiences
• Effects on Economic Operation

Prof. Nikos Hatziargyriou (nh@power.ece.ntua.gr )


   Nikos Hatziargyriou was born in Athens, Greece in January 1954. Since 1995, he is Professor at the Power Division of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens.
He received the Diploma in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (1976) and the MSc (1979) and PhD (1982) degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in England.
In 1976 he worked as Project Engineer at Shell Oil Company and from 1979 to 1981 as a researcher at UMIST. The research projects were related to interactive power system analysis. From 1982 until 1984 he worked as Analyst and Computer Programmer at the Hellenic Air Force. From 1984 he is working at the Power Division of the Electrical Engineering Department of the National Technical University of Athens, where he is full professor. Currently, he is teaching Power System Analysis (Steady State and Transient Analysis), Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Management Systems. He has also taught Electrical Machines, Economic Power System Planning and Operation, Digital Techniques for Power System Analysis and Control and Computer Programming techniques. He has participated or participates in more than 30 research projects, funded by the European Commission, the General Secretariat for Research and Technology, the Public Power Corporation of Greece, the Center for Renewable Energy Sources (CRES), the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, the British Council and various private companies including CEGELEC/INTRASOFT, Groupe Schneider/ELVIM, INESC, AMBER, etc. These projects are related to power system modelling and analysis for operation and design, Dispersed and Renewable Generation, load frequency control of the Greek system, static and dynamic data validation for the Energy Management System of Greece, wind power integration studies, lightning protection of Wind Turbines, power system optimal operation and control, etc. He is author of 2 books and more than 150 publications in international magazines and conference proceedings.
Dr. Hatziargyriou is member of the Conference Internationale des Grands Reseaux Electriques a Haute Tension (CIGRE), was Greek Member of Study Committee 38 "System Analysis and Techniques", member of Advisory Group 38.02 "Power System Dynamic Performance and Analysis", convener of AG 38.06 “Models for Load Interaction with Bulk Generation/Transmission Systems”, Convener of TF38.01.10 “Modelling of new forms of Generation and Storage”, currently Greek Member of Study Committee C6 "Distribution Systems and Dispersed Generation" ,and member of various CIGRE Task Forces. He is also Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), member of the Power Engineering Society and member of subcommittees and working groups of IEEE. He is currently Chapter Representative of the South East Zone of Region 8 and Chairman of the Greek Section. He has been chairman of two international conferences (MedPower02 and ISAP03), active member of several technical committees and working groups of the Technical Chamber of Greece, a member of organizing committees of various workshops, seminars and conferences and reviewer in technical magazines of IEEE, IEE, IJEEE, IASTED etc. and various international conferences.
