The Importance of Combined Cycle Generating Plants in Integrating Large Levels of Wind Power Generation

J. Nicolas Puga

The Electricity Journal, vol. 23, issue 7, 33-44

Abstract: Integration of high wind penetration levels will require fast-ramping combined cycle and steam cycles that, due to higher operating costs, will require proper pricing of ancillary services or other forms of compensation to remain viable. Several technical and policy recommendations are presented to help realign the generation mix to properly integrate the wind.
