It should be rem<strong>in</strong>ded that this reserve calculation is meant to cover 99.7% ofpossible outcomes and <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation with the low amount of hours for,which reserves are not enough, means that an unbalance is not very likely.Furthermore, the forecast error calculations are based on a 12-36 hour aheadprediction. If the time w<strong>in</strong>dow is narrowed down to one hour, forecast errorsare reduced drastically and the standard deviation of the net load is not expectedto vary as much, reduc<strong>in</strong>g reserve requirements.1800 MW w<strong>in</strong>d <strong>in</strong> 2016In 2016, the addition of a second <strong>in</strong>terconnection l<strong>in</strong>e (Estl<strong>in</strong>k 2) to F<strong>in</strong>landgives the potential to transmit almost <strong>in</strong>stantaneously 1000 MW of power,compared to 350 MW for 2013.The <strong>in</strong>clusion of Estl<strong>in</strong>k 2 will however <strong>in</strong> some periods also lead to an <strong>in</strong>creaseof the cont<strong>in</strong>gency reserve, s<strong>in</strong>ce n-1 will need to cover now the size of Estl<strong>in</strong>k2, if it is operated with full import to <strong>Estonia</strong>.Figure 14 shows the net reserves for 2016 with 1800 MW <strong>in</strong>stalled w<strong>in</strong>dpower capacity.Figure 14: Net Reserves (BALMOREL unused capacity m<strong>in</strong>us calculated need for reserves)for 2016, with and without a 400 MW gas turb<strong>in</strong>e35 | <strong>W<strong>in</strong>d</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Estonia</strong>, 13-05-2010
