    The Distribution of Wind Power from a Dispersed Array of Wind Turbine Generators and Its Reliability Based Applications
    (Elsevier, 2026) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Kan, Cihangir; Devrim, Yilser
    In this paper, the probability distribution of wind power from a dispersed array of wind turbine sites is studied considering forced outage rates of wind turbines. The wind speeds at distinct sites are assumed to be dependent and the dependence is modeled by copulas. In particular, the probability distribution of the aggregate power from two sites is exactly derived. The probability distribution of the aggregate power is also derived under the particular case when site 1 consists of n1 identical wind turbines of type 1 and site 2 consists of n2 identical wind turbines of type 2. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the theoretical findings for a chosen copula function.

    Reliability Based Modeling and Analysis for a Wind Power System Integrated by Two Wind Farms Considering Wind Speed Dependence
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Kan, Cihangir
    Integrating multiple wind farms into power systems may reduce the fluctuation in total power output of wind farms and hence it decreases the system risk resulting from the wind speed variability. In this paper, a wind power system consisting of two wind farms is modeled and analyzed considering the dependence between wind speeds at two sites. In particular, the system is modeled as a threshold system and reliability values of wind turbines are also taken into account in capacity based calculations. The results are illustrated for the available bivariate wind speed data in the literature.
