2008-04 Integration of Wind Generation
April 21-25, 2008

Objectives

   The on going installation of wind power injection in Europe and around the world is going to continue by the development of offshore wind power in the coming years. Due to the stochastic characteristics of wind power feed-in and with respect to a safe and secure energy supply, the large scale integration of wind power in the public electrical power supply requires effective concepts, which are in focus of this course.

During the course current regulations and requirements of electricity markets, transmission systems and legislators will be presented. Technical aspects of grid connection of wind convertors as well as of large wind farms will be discussed. Course deliver expert knowledge concerning technical and economical efficient market integration of wind energy under consideration of prediction uncertainties will be communicated. Practical experiences with wind energy integration in different countries will be given.

The instructors at this course have large experience in development of wind converters as well as in research on grid and market integration of wind energy.
