Abstract

Wind power is a daunting subject in the electricity system because its high unpredictability. In many recent studies, wind power is assumed to be integrated with energy storage to mitigate its uncertainty. By contrast, this paper proposes a novel solution to mitigate such uncertainty and reduce corresponding costs by employing combined heat and power (CHPs), which is integrated to the natural gas network. CHP static state model is used to calculate generation cost. This study is carried out with different CHP penetration levels on a standard test system by using the load profile in a UK local energy system. A comparative study of generation cost from other mitigation means for wind uncertainty is conducted. Results show that the proposed mitigation by using CHP can significantly reduce generation cost and provide a promising alternative for mitigating wind.
