Funding entity Acciona


This project analyzes the impact of wind generation in the future electricity market price in Spain. This analysis covers different scenarios for the year 2020, characterized by a specific generation mix, demand increase factor, and fuel and CO2 emissions costs. Research activities are focused in the operation of the different scenarios: power reserves, pumping units and probability of wind spillage. Secondly, this project explores the impact of wind generation on the power system costs, and also its impact on the electricity market prices.
