The integration of renewable energy sources, including wind power, in the adequacy assessment of electricity generation capacity becomes increasingly important as renewable energy generation increases in volume and replaces conventional power plants. The contribution of wind power to cover the electricity demand is less certain than conventional power sources; therefore, the capacity value of wind power is smaller than that of conventional plants.

This article presents an overview of the adequacy challenge, how wind power is handled in the regulation of capacity adequacy, and how wind power is treated in a selection of jurisdictions. The jurisdictions included in the overview are Sweden, Great Britain, France, Ireland, United States (PJM and ERCOT), Finland, Portugal, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.

随着可再生能源发电量的增加并取代传统的发电厂，在风力发电能力的充分评估中纳入可再生能源的能力变得越来越重要。风力发电满足电力需求的贡献比传统动力发电还不确定。因此，风力发电的容量值小于常规电厂的容量值。

本文概述了充足性挑战，如何在容量充足性调节中处理风能以及在某些辖区如何处理风能。概述中包括的司法管辖区是瑞典，英国，法国，爱尔兰，美国（PJM和ERCOT），芬兰，葡萄牙，西班牙，挪威，丹麦，比利时，德国，意大利和荷兰。
