Wind power plant modelling in Wasp-Iv through Ssa

Abstract

This paper deals with the simulation results obtained with regard to the restricted load demand in the state of Tamil Nadu for the year 2015. There are certain approaches in long term benefits of wind power plant modelling in WASP-IV. They all have some kind of approximations such as, load modification approach and supply-side approach. In Supply-Side Approach, Wind Power Plant (WPP) is meant to have both unreliable thermal plant capacity and the hydro capacity of Run-of-River (RoR), to make this approach more effective. As Capacity Factor (CF) is estimated as 18.6% for WPP, the FOR is estimated to be 81.4%. For solar energy generation system too, such a process is applied whereby the average CF is considered to be 40% while the FOR is assumed to be 60%. In the representation of WPP as RoR hydro plant, the constraint in the form of inflow energy.
