Projects
NREL's wind systems integration projects are designed to increase the understanding of wind systems integration issues so that utilities can make informed decisions about integrating wind energy into their systems. Researchers explore the possible impacts on system operations when greater percentages of wind power are introduced into the electric power system. Projects are designed to provide insights for improved operational practice and maintaining system reliability in the most economic manner. Projects may also analyze bulk power market characteristics and suggest ways to improve generator dispatch scheduling.
