Abstract Robust communication with and structured data acquisition from wind farms is a key prerequisite of any Wind Energy Management Systems (WEMS). The real-time data feeds from wind turbines and weather mode driven production forecasting can be aggregated at wind farm, regional, or national levels based on market structure design. WEMS includes wind forecasting engines that will forecast wind generation for the relevant control areas with short to medium time horizon (hours to days ahead), in order to optimize power production and limit deviation from production schedules determined from day-ahead markets. From a system perspective, WEMS feeds updated wind generation schedules to Load Dispatch Centers for coordination with other generation schedules, which helps reduce the need for spinning reserves. System operators can then dynamically schedule the other types of generation to respond to changes in wind generation forecasts. This tutorial aims at describing WEMS concepts design, hardware and software implementation. |
