Abstract
IEA WIND R&D Task 25 on "Design and Operation of Power
Systems with Large Amounts of Wind Power" collects and
shares information on wind generation impacts on power
systems, with analyses and guidelines on methodologies.
This paper summarizes the main results from the report
published on January 2013 describing experience of wind
integration as well as the most relevant wind power grid
integration studies in the 15 participating countries.
The studies build on the already significant experience
in integrating wind power in power systems addressing
concerns about the impact of wind power's variability and
uncertainty on power system security of supply and costs
as well as grid reinforcement needs. The mitigation of
wind power impacts includes more flexible operational
methods, incentivising flexibility in other generating
plants, increasing interconnection to neighbouring
regions, and application of demand-side flexibility.
Electricity storage is still not as cost effective in
larger power systems as other means of flexibility, but
is already seeing initial applications in places with
limited transmission
