IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy is to publish a paper written by Dr. Jeremy Hargreaves of E3 and Prof. Benjamin Hobbs of Johns Hopkins University entitled “Commitment and Dispatch with Uncertain Wind Generation by Dynamic Programming”.
The paper, which will feature in the journal’s special wind energy issue, shows the potential for grid operation cost savings when using stochastic unit commitment and dispatch modeling for systems with high levels of wind generation. The study indicates a growing need for stochastic models in system operations as renewables penetration increases.
