This paper investigates the effects of two important factors, i.e., correlation of wind farms output with load and wind speed coincidence in determining the required static reserve in a high wind-penetrated power system. To this end, it suggests an analytical approach to involve the effects of these two factors in probabilistic analytical multi-state models of wind farms output generation. Based on an optimization framework with the objective of reaching the desirable level of correlation, the key idea is to calculate some joint probabilities for equivalent models of wind farms. As a result, these models become compatible with the ones for conventional generation units in adequacy studies of... 

Wind power introduces a new challenge to system operators. Unlike conventional power generation sources, wind power generators supply intermittent power because of uncertainty in its resource. In a power system involved largescale wind power generation scenario, wind intermittency could oblige the system operator to allocate a greater reserve power, in order to compensate the possible mismatch between predicted and the actual wind power output. This would increase the total operation cost. This paper presents a new approach in fuzzy based generation scheduling (GS) problem using mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). While the reserve requirements, load generation balance and wind...
