This ever-growing amount of wind power has risen to the point where its influence on electrical system operation can be a significant factor requiring additional planning and modified operation. A large transmission grid is typically broken into several smaller transmission “balancing areas” in which reliability requirements are met while balancing loads with generation. These balancing areas vary in size from less than 1000 MW to over 50,000 MW. Within any given balancing area there may be several different types of generators, including natural gas combustion turbines, coal-fired steam plants, nuclear power, hydro power, combined heat and power, wind energy, and perhaps others. The average load within a balancing area typically varies in predictable daily and seasonal patterns, but also contains an unpredictable component due to random load variations, uncertainties
