NAMA: High Integration Program of Wind Energy
Title:
High Integration Program of Wind Energy
DescriptionOfMitigationAction:
This NAMA consists on the creation of a Program focused on high integration of wind power, over 1,000MW of installed power, ensuring adequate levels of service and product quality. At present, due to the excellent wind resources in the country, Uruguay is in the process of installing 1,000MW of wind power in the next 3 years. This means that by 2015, 20% of the electricity demand will be supplied by wind energy. In the future, the increase of wind power installed capacity involves major technical challenges in a country like Uruguay with high variability of hydropower supply. The goal of this Program is to have a full analysis of the electric system expansion in Uruguay with high levels of wind power. It will be considered a participation of wind energy in the supply mix of electricity demand of 20%, 25% and 30%. It is noted that each additional MW of wind generation that can be installed, under the conditions described above, will contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions due to the replacement of fossil generation. The activities proposed for this Program are the following: a) Review of successful experiences in countries that already have a high integration of wind power, such as Denmark, Spain, Portugal and Germany. b) Analysis of existing regulations in Uruguay and identification of rules to be developed. c) Cooperation in the development of appropriate grid codes. d) Identification of critical scenarios that should be considered when making the system planning studies. e) Training in tools for network studies and wind farms modelling (static and dynamic). f) Development of studies and analysis of results. g) Critical analysis of the expansion plans of the Uruguayan electric system, according to the results obtained. h) Capacity analysis of the electric system to meet the demand peaks and fluctuations in wind generation (static and dynamic). i) Analysis of existing tools in the world and in Uruguay regarding weather and wind generation forecasts. j) Review of operational planning methodologies in countries with high wind power integration. Critical analysis of operational planning system in Uruguay and identification of changes to be made to integrate high levels of wind generation. k) Visit to control and dispatch centers from systems with high wind integration around the world. Capacity building regarding operation and system dispatch with high levels of wind integration.
