The results suggest that wind energy could be economic on Electricity Supply Board (ESB) systems circa the year 2000, but only to the extent of a possible maximum of 5% energy penetration. Economic attractiveness depends principally on a real escalation in heavy fuel oil (HFO) price, a reduction in wind turbine generator (WTG) cost and proven reliability of WTG performance.
THE INTENTION IS TO COMPARE A REFERENCE SYSTEM EXPANSION PLAN WITHOUT WIND POWER FOR THE YEAR 2000, WITH THREE EQUIVALENT ALTERNATIVE EXPANSION PLANS FOR THAT YEAR HAVING WIND ENERGY SUPPLYING 5, 10 AND 15 % OF TOTAL PRIMARY ENERGY REQUIRED FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION.
THE ECONOMICS OF WIND ENERGY IN 2000 IN THIS CONTEXT HAS BEEN ASSESSED, WITH WIDE-RANGING PARAMETER VARIATION SENSITIVITIES. THE ISSUES OF ENERGY CREDIT, CAPACITY CREDIT, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, SYSTEM FREQUENCY CONTROL AND OTHER TECHNICAL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.
