Abstract
Since photovoltaic and wind generate fluctuated power, the large scale introduction requires additional load frequency control (LFC) capacity. LFC is supplied by pumped hydro and thermal power plants in partial load operation, and requires more fuel and cost. The authors developed Multi-mode Optimum Power Generation Mix Model which can deal with the LFC constraint and efficiency drop when thermal power and pumped hydro plants operate at partial load. The simulation results show that large scale introduction of renewable energy increase the cost of other power plants because of the load factor decrease of thermal power and the increased operation of pumped hydro power.
