Abstract: Abstract As stochastic production units such as those based on wind or solar sources involve both high variability and high uncertainty, system flexibility is needed to accommodate such variability and uncertainty. System flexibility, which is analyzed in this chapter from the viewpoint of the Independent System Operator, involves preventive and corrective actions by conventional power plants, the demand, pumped-storage plants, as well as the availability of sufficient transmission capacity. This chapter analyzes the flexibility provided by these agents and illustrates its effects on system operations and costs through a number of examples.
