Secure and reliable operation of power systems with high wind and solar shares requires system flexibility. In this paper, an hourly-based market and grid simulation model is developed to assess security and reliability of a power system with high wind and solar energy share. The model is...

Growing shares of renewable energy sources (RES) in the electricity system increase the need for flexible balancing of supply-dependent feed-in of RES and time-varying demand. Besides flexible, conventional technologies and demand-responses, storage is an important option. Through the use of an...
