Wind Power accuracy and forecast. D3.1. Assumptions on accuracy of wind power to be considered at short and long term horizons

Abstract

The main objective of the Optimate project (An Open Platform to Test Integration in new MArkeT designs of massive intermittent Energy sources dispersed in several regional power markets) is to develop a new tool for testing these new market designs with large introduction of variable renewable energy sources. In Optimate a novel network/system/market modelling approach is being developed, generating an open simulation platform able to exhibit the comparative benefits of several market design options. This report constitutes delivery 3.1 on the assumptions on accuracy of wind power to be considered at short and long term horizons. The report handles the issues of state-of-the-art prediction, how predictions for wind power enter into the Optimate model and a simple and a more advanced methodology of how to generate trajectories of prediction errors to be used in Optimate. The main conclusion is that undoubtedly, the advanced approach is to be preferred to the simple one seen from a theoretical viewpoint. However, the advanced approach was developed to the Wilmar-model with the purpose of describing the integration of large-scale wind power in Europe. As the main purpose of the Optimate model is not to test the integration of wind power, but to test new  More>>

In Optimate a novel network/system/market modelling approach is being developed, generating an open simulation platform able to exhibit the comparative benefits of several market design options. This report constitutes delivery 3.1 on the assumptions on accuracy of wind power to be considered at short and long term horizons. The report handles the issues of state-of-the-art prediction, how predictions for wind power enter into the Optimate model and a simple and a more advanced methodology of how to generate trajectories of prediction errors to be used in Optimate. The main conclusion is that undoubtedly, the advanced approach is to be preferred to the simple one seen from a theoretical viewpoint. However, the advanced approach was developed to the Wilmar-model with the purpose of describing the integration of large-scale wind power in Europe. As the main purpose of the Optimate model is not to test the integration of wind power, but to test new market designs assuming a strong growth in wind power production, a more simplified approach for describing wind power forecasts should be sufficient. Thus a further development of the simple approach is suggested, eventually including correlations between geographical areas. In this report the general methodologies for generating trajectories for wind power forecasts are outlined. However, the methods are not yet implemented. In the next phase of Optimate, the clusters will be defined and the needed data collected. Following this phase actual results will be generated to be used in Optimate. (LN)}
