Besides common characteristics of wind power,there are some special characteristics in China power system,including large-scale,long distance transmission and lack of flexible regulating power sources.These special characteristics make power dispatch more challenging in China.Many studies have been carried out and some improvements are presented including wind power monitoring and control as well as evaluation of wind power integration capabilities.As a demonstration project,the technologies are integrated into the energy management system and are implemented in the Northwest China power system.They provide effective measures for wind power dispatch in the grid.
