Methodology
Analysis builds on the results of the FoR
– Using out-turn data and observed behaviour
Three type of analysis carried out
– Portfolio capability (theoretical maximum) – Actual availability (dispatch dependent) – Performance analysis
Two timeframes considered:
– Current: 2010 – Future: 2020
Portfolio evolution
2010 portfolio – 2011 GCS 2020 portfolio – credible evolution of current portfolio
– Complementary to renewables targets – Sufficient investment to ensure capacity adequacy

Generator Ramping Availability
Ramping deficit = requirement - availability 2010: system is dispatched to ensure requirement is met
– Deficits arise following disturbances
2020: few instances of deficit
– Due to assumed portfolio evolution (additional “flexible” generation) – Sensitivity studies illustrate potential issues
Wind – Ramping Capability
Wind generation can contribute to ramping requirement
– Capable of being curtailed → can ramp down – When being curtailed → can ramp up or down
Wind contribution to ramping requirement reduces requirement from conventional generation
– Lower curtailment
Reliable active power control is essential
