The challenges for the integration of Wind Power
min
At high shares of inverter connected generation
system stability will be affected due to lack of
inertia
sec
Power system stability: Integration of
renewables may lead to violations of grid codes
in „weak grid situations“ (frequency and voltage)
ms
Depending on region integration of variable
generation may face different challenges:
Output smoothening of wind power and ramp
rate control
Avoidance of forecasting errors for improved
direct marketing
Energy Storage enables significantly
increased Wind Penetration levels
