Abstract:
Due to rising load demand throughout the world and depleting nature of existing fossil fuels, the penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) to the grid is increasing. However, the uncertain nature of RESs makes it difficult to directly integrate with the existing conventional power plants. Therefore, it is quite important to consider the intermittent nature of RESs in the formulation and solution procedure. Out of the different RESs, the wind energy is taken into account in this paper and the uncertain nature of wind power is modeled using the ramp detection technique. Ramp events play an important role to fulfill the generation- demand properly. If these ramp events will not controlled, they will produce more pressure on wind turbines and turbine will be destructed. So for protected and steady process, it is essential that executer should have the knowledge about these ramp events. In this paper ramp ups and ramp downs of Dug site in Rajasthan are evaluated for sustainable wind resource assessment. After this, the comparison of these ramp events are done seasonally in which three seasons are taken namely: winter, summer and spring at a particular site for the wind power potential assessment.
