7. Conclusions
In this paper, the load forecasting and wind speed fore-
casting are adapted in the power system which involves
wind power system. The case study that implemented in
the simulation consists of 15% wind power system in total
of grid power. The load distribution and re-distribution
between different power systems gave the optimization of
the generated power. Thus, the influence from the inter-
mediate behavior of the wind power systems is minimized
through good estimation of the 24 hrs ahead wind and
load forecasting. The simulation results show the behavior
of the steam and gas turbine while they provide baseload,
and other systems in intermediate and peak loads. The
achievement of optimization has been successful since the
grid previously prepared for distribution load, and the
correction due to errors in forecasting take place without
disturbance to the baseload or influence to the balance
between available capacity and load demands.
This work may be extended to include other renewable
power systems such as solar power system. Also, it may
adapt weather forecast directly from the forecast centers.
