Model for the techno-economic analysis of common work of wind power and CCGT power plant to offer constant level of power in the electricity market

Wind power varies over time, mainly under the influence of meteorological fluctuations. The variations occur on all time scales. Understanding these variations and their predictability is of key importance for the integration and optimal utilization of wind in the power system. There are two major attributes of variable generation that notably impact the participation on power exchanges: Variability (the output of variable generation changes and resulting in fluctuations in the plant output on all time scales) and Uncertainty (the magnitude and timing of variable generation output is less predictable, wind power output has low levels of predictability). Because of these variability and uncertainty wind plants cannot participate to electricity market, especially to power exchanges. For this purpose, in this paper is presented techno-economic analysis of work of wind plants together with CCGT plant as support for offering continues power to electricity market. It was developed model of wind farms and CCGT plant in program PLEXOS based on real hourly input data and all characteristics of CCGT with especial analysis of techno-economic characteristics of different types of starts and stops of the plant. Model analyze: costs of different start-stop characteristics (hot, warm, cold start-ups and shutdowns) and part load performance of CCGT. Besides the costs, also have to be considered technical restrictions. Examples are start-up time depending on outage duration, minimum operation time, minimum load or peaking capability. For the calculation, following parameters are necessary to know in order to be able to economically evaluate changes in the start- up process: ramp up and down rate, time of start time reduction, fuel mass flow during start, electricity production during start, variable cost of start-up process, cost and charges for life time consumption for each start and start type, remuneration during start up time regarding expected or unexpected starts, The cost and revenues for balancing energy (important when participating in electricity market), cost or revenues for CO2-certificates. Main motivation for this analysis is to investigate possibilities to participate on power exchanges by offering continues guarantied power from wind plants by backing-up them with CCGT power plant.
