Description
Summary:Wind integration studies are increasingly important tools to estimate the impacts that the addition of large amounts of variable and uncertain generation will have on the electricity grid. As the number of these studies has increased in recent years, the sophistication of the methods and assumptions utilized has also increased. These methods have had to evolve with increasing penetration rates and to study changing research questions. In this work, the authors report on the state of the art in this area and make suggestions for improving the methods and assumptions used for cases with high levels of wind power.
