The Study on Acceptable Capacity of Wind Power for Gansu Power Grid Based on Power Balance

Randomness and volatility of wind power, the accepted capacity of wind power (ACWP) will become the wind power planning early first thing to consider with the increasement of the scale of wind power in grid. In this paper, we studied the correlation between wind power output and the change of daily load. The ACWP were analysis based on the power load characteristics, peak-valley difference of the Gansu Power Grid and power balance. The maximum installed capacity of wind power integrated of the five typical operating mode in 2011 is given. It is pointed out that ACWP is less than the planned capacity. At last, the specific measures to increase the ACWP are proposed.
