Impact of wind generation on the operation and development of the UK electricity systems
TLDR
In this article, an assessment of the costs and benefits of wind generation on the UK electricity system is carried out, assuming different levels of wind power capacity, and it is concluded that the system will be able to accommodate significant increases in wind power generation with relatively small increases in overall costs of supply, about 5% of the current domestic electricity price.About:

Total cost estimates for large-scale wind scenarios in UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the impact of wind intermittency on the UK's electricity costs and conclude that there does not appear any technical reason why a substantial proportion of the country's electricity requirements could not be delivered by wind.

Frequency and Duration Methods for Power System Reliability Calculations: I - Generation System Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a reliability calculation method for the generation system that incorporates the frequency and duration of unit outages and includes consideration of the loads, which leads to calculated generation reliability measures which are the availability, frequency of occurence, and mean duration of reserve states.

The integration of renewable electricity sources
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the characteristics of different variable and energy-limited renewable sources are usually complementary, and current trends in power system development will further ease their integration, provided that their role in power systems is properly managed and reflected in the tariff arrangements for renewable generators.
