Title: Assessment of operational reserve requirement resulting from wind power use in the electric power system of Kosovo
Keywords: Reserve requirements, wind power integration, variability

Abstract: This article addresses the assessment of the impact of wind power on operating reserves requirement in the power system. Variable renewable generation from wind and solar are expected to grow rapidly in Kosovo in the coming decade. The variability inherent in wind and solar power production will require increased flexibility in the power system, also will add variability and uncertainty to the existing system, and may have significant effects on operations. The main factors that have significant impact on operating reserves requirement are the variability of the output power of the renewable generation and the uncertainty that is the unexpected change in generation and demand balance from what was forecasted. In cases when the total energy supply is different from the total demand due to variability and/or uncertainty, system operators must deploy operating reserves to correct the energy imbalance.
