Abstract
In this paper we discuss how probabilistic wind power forecasts can serve as an important tool to efficiently address wind power uncertainty in power system operations. We compare different probabilistic forecasting and scenario reduction methods, and test the resulting forecasts on a stochastic unit commitment model. The results are compared to deterministic unit commitment, where dynamic operating reserve requirements can also be derived from the probabilistic forecasts. In both cases, the use of probabilistic forecasts contributes to improve the system performance in terms of cost and reliability. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract
In this paper we discuss the use of wind power forecasting in electricity market operations. In particular, we demonstrate how probabilistic forecasts can contribute to address the uncertainty and variability in wind power. We focus on efficient use of forecasts in the unit commitment problem and discuss potential implications for electricity market operations.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the representation of wind power forecasting (WPF) uncertainty in the unit commitment (UC) problem. While deterministic approaches use a point forecast of wind power output, WPF uncertainty in the stochastic UC alternative is captured by a number of scenarios that include cross-temporal dependency. A comparison among a diversity of UC strategies (based on a set of realistic experiments) is presented. The results indicate that representing WPF uncertainty with wind power scenarios that rely on stochastic UC has advantages over deterministic approaches that mimic the classical models. Moreover, the stochastic model provides a rational and adaptive way to provide adequate spinning reserves at every hour, as opposed to increasing reserves to predefined, fixed margins that cannot account either for the system's costs or its assumed risks.

Abstract
This paper presents a new model for optimal trading of wind power in day-ahead (DA) electricity markets under uncertainty in wind power and prices. The model considers settlement mechanisms in markets with locational marginal prices (LMPs), where wind power is not necessarily penalized from deviations between DA schedule and real-time (RT) dispatch. We use kernel density estimation to produce a probabilistic wind power forecast, whereas uncertainties in DA and RT prices are assumed to be Gaussian. Utility theory and conditional value at risk (CVAR) are used to represent the risk preferences of the wind power producers. The model is tested on real-world data from a large-scale wind farm in the United States. Optimal DA bids are derived under different assumptions for risk preferences and deviation penalty schemes. The results show that in the absence of a deviation penalty, the optimal bidding strategy is largely driven by price expectations. A deviation penalty brings the bid closer to the expected wind power forecast. Furthermore, the results illustrate that the proposed model can effectively control the trade-off between risk and return for wind power producers operating in volatile electricity markets.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the application of the Information Theoretic (IT) Mean Shift algorithm for modes finding in order to provide the classification of Electricity Customer Load Patterns. The impact of the algorithm parameters is discussed and then clustering indices are used in order to make a comparison with the classical methods available. Results show a good capability of the modes found in capturing the data structure, aggregating similar load patterns and identifying the uncommon patterns (outliers). © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the application of clustering techniques for wind power scenario reduction. The results have shown the unimodal structure of the scenario generated under a Monte Carlo process. The unimodal structure has been confirmed by the modes found by the information theoretic learning mean shift algorithm. The paper also presents a new technique able to represent the wind power forecasting uncertainty by a set of representative scenarios capable of characterizing the probability density function of the wind power forecast. From an initial large set of sampled scenarios, a reduced discrete set of representative scenarios associated with a probability of occurrence can be created finding the areas of high probability density. This will allow the reduction of the computational burden in stochastic models that require scenario representation. © 2011 IEEE.
