Dispatchable wind power generation planning for distribution systems

In this paper, a set of new planning strategies are proposed to optimally accommodate aggregated capacity of wind farms with special switching arrangements to make these dis-patchable. The goal is to mitigate the issues of intense renewable power penetration on distribution systems such as wind power curtailment, reverse power flow problem, high voltage problem etc. The proposed model is investigated on a standard 33-bus radial distribution system and genetic algorithm is used to solve it. The simulation results of proposed model are compared with the same obtained by conventional planning models, which shows that the proposed approach is promising.
