Wind Power Scheduling with Considering the Impacts of V2G Technology and FIT Incentive Mechanism

Large integration of intermittent wind generation in power system has necessitated the inclusion of more innovative and sophisticated approaches in power system operation planning. At a high penetration level, an extra fast response reserve capacity is needed to cover the shortfall of generation when a sudden variation of wind takes place. To enable a proper management of the uncertainty, this paper presents a novel framework to make the wind power a more reliable source by using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and increase the benefits of wind power in power market. V2G can stabilize the output power of the wind farm by providing a kind of storage capacity for electric energy during high wind speed and deliver it in low wind speed. In addition, a FIT incentive mechanism is considered to promote wind power owner for participating in electricity power market. This framework is implemented on a test system to illustrate the working of the proposed approach.
