Uncertain Supply

There is a great deal of public and government regulatory support for significant growth in renewables for electricity generation at the expense of fossil fuels, primarily coal. Unlike fossil fuels whose output is controlled by a utility dispatcher, solar and wind depend on exposure to sunlight and wind speed for determining their output. This chapter deals with the use of simulation to match uncertain supply of solar and wind energy with indeterminable demand using a pumped storage facility to store excess electricity generation and to supply electricity to cover shortfalls. A modeling template using @RISK simulation analysis is proposed. The challenge of fossil fuel plants coupled with solar and wind farms with a strong seasonal demand for electricity is addressed by determining the size of an upper reservoir of a pumped storage facility that would ensure reliable delivery of electricity throughout the year. Scoping of the project to identify courses of action that would reduce the size and the investment in a pumped storage plant are covered.

Pumped Storage

Many reasons such as increasing in price of fossil fuel and the decreasing sources of fuel as well as greenhouse gas problems cause the trend towards using renewable energy instead. One of the more popular renewable energy sources is wind power (WP). Beside of all the advantages and the fact that the wind farms (WFs) can connect to the grid, they have unstable production and the energy cannot be stored when the grid does not need power. The main concern of the increase number of WFs in Iran is the uncertainty of WP. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a solution which helps WF operation to become more stable and reliable. Consequently, the ways of connections between grid, WP and PSH are important for this system. In this paper, an attempt is made to solve this problem by manipulating all available hybrid and individual connections between current grid, WF and PSH. This hybrid connection can help the grid to generate more reliable power. In addition, the amount of WP is shown to increase realistically. All possible connection types and their impacts were investigated.
