Potential of improved wind integration by dynamic thermal rating of overhead lines

Local concentration of future thermal power plants and wind farms in northern Germany cause network congestions that are in most cases resolved by interventions into generation schedules of thermal power plants or curtailment of wind power production. Right now, improving wind integration by dynamic...

Description
Summary:Local concentration of future thermal power plants and wind farms in northern Germany cause network congestions that are in most cases resolved by interventions into generation schedules of thermal power plants or curtailment of wind power production. Right now, improving wind integration by dynamic thermal ratings is discussed. This investigation shows that there is a potential for avoiding the redispatch of thermal power plants due to the feed-in priority of wind power by utilizing dynamic thermal ratings.
