"Recommended practices for wind/solar integration studies"
The International Energy Agency (IEA) WIND Task 25 ”Design and Operation of Energy Systems with Large Amounts of Variable Generation” has compiled Recommended Practices for power system impact studies, commonly known as wind and solar integration studies. It provides research institutes, consultants, and system operators with the best available information on how to perform an integration study, considering resource adequacy, operational, and stability challenges. It is also useful in benchmarking any integration studies: the recommendations check list can be used to identify what has and has not been taken into account. The latest update, to Edition 3, includes recommendations for very high wind and solar shares– wind and solar dominated power systems, with sector coupling and energy system integration.
Hannele Holttinen is currently Professor of Practice at Aalto University, Finland, as well as RDI Lead, Energy systems at CLIC Innovation Oy. Through her own consultancy Recognis Oy she continues coordinating international research on grid integration at IEA WIND (Task 25), and at G-PST (Global Power System Transformation Consortium). She worked previously at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in different fields of wind energy and energy system integration research.
Julia Matevosyan is a Chief Engineer at Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) and has more than 20 years of experience in the power industry. Prior to joining ESIG, Julia was the Lead Planning Engineer of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). In her time with ERCOT, she worked on adequacy of system inertial response, system flexibility, frequency control and performance issues related to high penetration levels of inverter-based generation and ancillary services market design. Julia received her BSc from Riga Technical University in Latvia, and her MSc and PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden.
The newly formed Energy Systems & Infrastructures: Modeling, Computing and Control (EIMC2) LIDS research group comprises 10 LIDS subgroups working in this field unique to LIDS–modeling, control, and computing. EIMC2 is launching a biweekly seminar series. The seminars will be help in 45-500A on Tuesdays, 4-5pm unless otherwise noted.
For any questions, please reach out to seminar organizers Rahman Khorramfar (khorram[at]mit[dot]edu) and Luis Carlos (luiscvm[at]mit[dot]edu)
