This study develops a generation expansion model to find the optimal planning strategy of a new wind power generation. Generation expansion planning is the essential premise for the sustainable development of power system, especially with a high penetration of renewable energy generation. The proposed model specifies the size of wind power generation and finds out the optimal decision to allocate wind power among multi-area power system in order to maximize the capacity credit of a wind power plant.Since the behavior of the wind speed is intermittent and variable, a fuzzy set has been developed to model the uncertainty of wind data by construction a membership function for each stochastic parameter. In addition, a stochastic model has been used to address the uncertainty of wind data by generating a number of scenarios. Among several methods of calculating the capacity credit of renewable power plant, Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) has been used in this model as the objective function. ELCC represents the amount of additional load that can be served while maintaining the same reliability standard. The system under study is a multi-area power system in which each area has its own conventional capacity, its specific reliability data in addition to load profile as well as a specific wind data. A three interconnected power system example is studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model to quantify the actual load carrying capacity of the intermittent power resources and to increase the reliability and the resilience of integrating new renewable power plant. This study is first stage analysis prior to economical analysis. It aims to evaluate the evaluable resources by increasing resources availability and reducing intermittency.
