“…Several research works are being done to examine the potential of wind power around the world [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In Malaysia, some studies have been performed using distribution models, spatial analysis and analytical assessment of wind power potential [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Wind energy is a reliable, clean source and has emerged as one of the dependable, and the best performing developing renewable energy around the world. It has insignificant environmental impacts, compared to other energy sources. In Sarawak, Malaysia, wind resource varies depending on the location. An inadequate number of wind stations are the major obstacles that slow down the growing of green energy in the region. Site selection is a crucial issue for potential investors and policy makers. This paper examines the spatial distribution and the amount of potential wind power and energy densities for wind energy production and suitable locations in Sarawak. A geographical Information System (GIS) assisted methodology, which includes wind speed, power and energy densities using the existing wind station and based on the newly developed prediction model called topographical neural network (TNN) were used. Kriging interpolation was employed for a simple interpolation of data between locations. The results show that the northeast, northwest and coastal regions have better prospects of wind energy. The studied GIS methodology can be applied for identification of the most suitable locations for wind energy harvesting. The developed maps can further be used in micro-siting and economic evaluation analysis.

“…Finally, the authors argue that long term generation expansion planning does not appear as a priority. Most common applications to system expansion planning use 20e30 years horizon at maximum as in the application of the model EMCAS (Electricity Market Complex Adaptative System) to the Iberian case [33] or in the model WASP (Wien automatic system planning) to the case of Oman [34].…”

“…The incorporation and impact of wind energy conversion system (WECS) in GEP has been analyzed using WASP‐III . The different versions of WASP model has been used in (i) Iranian power grid, (ii) Pakistan's power grid, and (iii) Oman power grid . A mixed integer optimization model has been applied to a mixed hydro‐thermal‐wind power system .…”

Summary Generation expansion planning (GEP) is a highly constrained, non‐linear optimization problem. The selection of the best expansion alternative for long‐term planning horizon is commonly referred as GEP problem. In this paper, the GEP problem is solved for Tamil Nadu, an Indian state for the period of 30 years from 2012 to 2041 using a state‐of‐the‐art computer model Wien Automatic System Planning IV package. In the year 2012, the peak load for Tamil Nadu was approximately 12 000 MW and had a peak load shortage of 3500–4000 MW. A load growth rate of 6.65% per annum is assumed on the basis of past data. Raising coal costs, pollution impacts associated conventional plants make renewable sources an attractive proposition for development. Renewable energies such as wind and solar are considered as expansion candidates in addition to conventional plants. The impact of incorporating renewable energy resources into an electric utility's generation expansion plan has been studied with different penetration level. The reliability criteria, loss of load probability, and energy not served are also calculated. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
