Predicting utility peaks with and without wind generators

The savings resulting from the addition of wind electric generation to a utility system fall into four categories. (A) Fuel savings, the dollar value of which depends on the kind of fuel saved and the type of equipment idled (peak or base load, etc.); (B) Capital investment savings due to a shift fr...

Zusammenfassung:The savings resulting from the addition of wind electric generation to a utility system fall into four categories. (A) Fuel savings, the dollar value of which depends on the kind of fuel saved and the type of equipment idled (peak or base load, etc.); (B) Capital investment savings due to a shift from base load equipment to peaking plants during generation expansion; (C) Capital investment savings due to a reduction in total fuel-burning equipment during generation expansion; and (D) Operational savings (or, more probably, increased costs) due to changes in spinning reserve requirements, O and M, etc. The subject of this Technical Note is Category (C), which focuses attention on the annual peak load.
