Research on Maximum Wind Power Capacity Integrated Into Power Grids and Corresponding Countermeasures in China

A method based on the supply-demand balance and peak load regulation of power grid impacted by thermal power,hydropower and nuclear power,is used to calculate the maximum wind power capacity that the power system can accept in working condition. The result is reliable for its method that both gurantees the balance of power grid load and avoids excessive power output. The wind power capacity that can be integrated into power grids is 2. 03 × 108 k W in 2013,which is reduced to 1. 29 × 108 k W considering the safety of power grid,still larger than the existing wind power capacity 7. 72 × 107 k W,indicating that China's wind power development has a large potential.
