Shrnutí:•The bundled wind-thermal generation system (BWTGS) is an attractive option to integrate wind energy to actively participate in power systems. With the greatly enhanced penetration of wind energy in BWIGS, wind curtailment against sharp wind power fluctuations is inevitable. Thus, our study is stimulated by whether and to what extent we can maximize wind power penetration with proper provision of dispatchable loads against wind curtailment, and this is exactly the problem we aim to solve in this paper.•We initially focus on the flexible characteristics of retrofitted coal-fired units in BWIGS and the load transfer optimization (LTO) for high voltage distribution networks (HVDNs). Then, an appropriate probabilistic wind power capacity expansion planning method for BWTGS with retrofitted coal-fired units using LTO can be reformulated as a mixed-integer second-order cone programming problem.•Moreover, since load and wind power data have inherited uncertainty, we extend this proposed model to be a probabilistic expanding mode. This contributes to better decision-making for the short-term wind capacity expansion under quantified uncertainty. Numerical results of the practical HVDNs demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
