Abstract

Factors which influence wind power impact on a power system include variability, uncertainty, geographical spread and correlations of different sites. Presented is the wind power variability of three sites in Kenya and their potential impact on the system reserve. The sites' power was generated from wind speeds using wind farm models developed in Matlab/Simulink software. The wind power and load data were analysed for hourly variations and the load following reserve requirements in five different futuristic sites integration scenarios. However, forecast errors were not considered.
