Abstract

Occurrence of wind energy curtailments in non-interconnected island systems of considerable wind power capacity comes as a result of local grid limitations and significant load variation across seasons. Facilitating increased wind energy generation requires flexibility means such as energy storage and/or demand response (DR), with the latter presenting the advantage of suggesting a non-capital-intensive solution. To that end, in the present study we examine the problem of assessing day-ahead demand response requirements for the recovery of wind energy curtailments and put forward a stochastic approach, supported by the employment of artificial neural networks’ forecasting models and the integration of prediction uncertainties. For the application of our methodology, we use data from the non-interconnected island system of Kos and Kalymnos in the SE Aegean Sea and investigate the dynamics of the proposed DR scheme on the island of Tilos, belonging to the electricity complex of Kos and Kalymnos. At the same time, we perform a parametrical analysis so as to study the impact of appreciating different levels of available DR capacity, with our findings comparing favorably against the results of applying a deterministic approach.
