Abstract:
This thesis presents reliability worth calculation methodology of electricity generation from renewable energy comprising wind, solar, hydro and biomass. In addition their impacts on generation system are also analyzed. Chronological electricity generation profile of wind and solar energy is estimated using a mathematical model, i.e. Weibull distribution function, together with actual statistics collected in Thailand. Then, worth and impact of each generation type are analyzed based on probabilistic calculation basis. The presented concept and methodology is tested with a modified generation system of Thailand. The obtained results illustrates the worth and impact of each renewable energy type on the generation system, which can be used as a guideline to promote renewable energy development in the future.
