Overview of problems in large-scale wind integrations

Wind power has been developing rapidly in major countries in the past 10 years. The distinct static and dynamic characteristics of output power compared with conventional generations pose significant challenges on power system adequacy and stability and constraints on the penetration level of wind power in power systems. Based on the uniqueness of wind power versus conventional generations, we discuss its implications on power system adequacy and stability and propose basic solutions for facilitating large-scale integrations of wind power into the power system.
