Methods for short-term prediction of wind speeds in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Gorge wind farm region

Creator:

Davidson, James D.

Abstract:

Variable electrical generation (VG) sources such as wind farms are an increasing percentage of total electrical generation in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) balancing area and are starting to impact the ability of the regional balancing authority to control the electric grid. Wind farms are not dispatchable and challenge historical...

of Wind Speeds in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Gorge Wind Farm Region. Abstract approved
An advanced study of wind power variability on the Federal Columbia River Power System

Creator:

Lajoie, Kelcey A.

Abstract:

Renewable energy, particularly wind power, has increased dramatically over the past two decades. In the Pacific Northwest, the power system has accommodated a large amount of new wind power. The variability of wind power has introduced many challenges, requiring additional reserve generation to be available to maintain system stability. The...
