Abstract | Power system networks around the world are experiencing very high growth rates of intermittent renewable power generation penetration. While this has yielded significant benefits associated with emission reduction to curtail greenhouse gases, it has come with a raft of technical challenges for power networks. One of the challenges is the difficulty to maintain power generation supply and network demand balance due to the fluctuating nature of intermittent generation sources and loads. Voluntary and involuntary curtailment of intermittent renewable generation is increasing due to oversupply during certain electricity market trading intervals. Elevated penetration of intermittent renewable generation has also increased requirements for ancillary services due to increased ramp rates and uncertainty of generation availability. There has been an increased demand of power system flexibility services and spinning reserve requirements to ensure that power system security and reliability are maintained within grid code requirements. Intermittent renewable generation is still not accepted to participate in flexible and spinning reserve ancillary service markets due to its inability to guarantee a firm active power supply in the event of a generation contingency event. |
