Abstract
    In this paper, a general strategy is proposed in order to introduce in a realistic way wind power into a HLII (bulk power system) nonsequential Monte Carlo adequacy study with economic dispatch. By use of the implemented solution, wind power can consequently be confronted to operational constraints related to high-powered thermal units, nuclear parks or cogeneration. Moreover, in order to optimize the large-scale integration of wind power production, the required reinforcements on a given electrical grid can also be evaluated on basis of the presented developments. The elaborated strategy can practically be applied to every kind of nonsequential Monte Carlo approach used to technically analyze a given transmission system. In the context of this work, the proposed solution has been implemented into the simulation tool Scanner(C) (property of Tractebel Engineering - Gaz de France - Suez company). Finally, in order to point out the efficiency and the usefulness of the proposed wind power model, the developed simulation tool has been firstly applied to an academic test system: the Roy Billinton test system (RBTS). Afterwards, in order to fully access the large offshore wind potential in the North Sea, the same tool has been used to evaluate the onshore reinforcements required in the Belgian transmission network.
