As PV and wind power penetrations in utility balancing areas increase, it is important to understand how they will impact net load. We investigate daily and seasonal trends in solar power generation, wind power generation, and net load. Quantitative metrics are used to compare scenarios with no PV or wind, PV plus wind, only PV, or only wind. PV plus wind scenarios are found to have a larger reduction in maximum net load and smaller ranges between maximum and minimum load than PV only or wind… Expand

Fast DTW and Fuzzy Clustering for Scenario Generation in Power System Planning Problems
TLDR
This paper proposes the use of fast dynamic time warping (FDTW) and fuzzy c-means++ (FCM++) clustering to account for key statistical properties of load and RG for scenario generation for power system planning problems. Expand
