✦ Synopsis

From the results of a report previously prepared by Systems Control Inc., it was recommended that a wind turbine generator (WTG) should be integrated with a conventional system to assess the reliability of the combined systems, estimated on yearly-based data. In contrast, in this paper, the issue is reinvestigated to get an accurate estimation of the capacity and energy credits, and the reliability level using monthly average daily climatic data.

The second main contribution of this work is to find the effect of the WTG penetration level on its power and energy credits, reliability and costs and eventually on the distribution system reliability. In addition, the influence of different configurations of the distribution system on its reliability in the presence of the WTG will be investigated for all seasons of the year.

New mathematical models explicitly describing these impacts are developed.
